Just where is this supposed sign hanging that reads not responsible for loss ? Is it in the fine print? Or is this just an act of God? If I let someone store my car and they don't return it then I'm not suppose to give a damn? I have a business where I'm responsible for their property till repaired and returned to the rightful owner. If it's lost or stolen then I'm not going to give a damn. I think not. My reputation is on the line. Bad news travels fast. Twenty five years in business and still till this day I have NEW customers tell me I trust in you because of word of mouth. That's advertising money cannot not buy! Everybody should own a business just once to experience the real world of trust and honesty. That's called success.

@RJK It really hurts to read your words because you sound right...
I hope everybody's going to get a refund but I feel like it won't happen.

No matter how this ends up : thank you  @Silkjaer and whoever is working with you.
Your precious help is very much appreciated.

We still don't know how the hack happened. Does it make any difference?

And because Gatehub didn't hold user funds in custody they will not be liable here.

Are you a lawyer specialized in EU or UK law? Or just expressing some personal thoughts?

Agree

They probably don't "care AT ALL" but I hope the community does in regard to their future plans... 

Yet, I have been patient all these years so why not now. They are doing a terrible work in terms of communication with the victims  but I truly hope (believe) they are doing their best to fix this situation. Just put emotions aside and wait for the bloody official statement...

Best,

P

There isn't going to be one. They have moved on. It's over. Only the people in this isolated thread that nobody else in the world knows exists, are waiting on "something."

I think you are right. Gatehub decided that the law is on their site and moved on. Not much media attention anymore and the crypto world will  or already has forgotten it

. I myself learned from my mistakes and carelessness and theirs by purchasing a hard wallet investing in more xrp and apollo currency and waiting for the outcome with a positive attitude. If Gatehub takes the easy way out then we can have meaningful dialogue .

what do you expect them to say? that their security was breached and won't compensate the victims? they already showed their true colors and their unique selling point of safekeeping your ripple wallet is no longer safe. so what kind of value can they provide to their customers now. none.

either way they have to make some official announcement, else the hack blog https://gatehub.net/blog/gatehub-update-investigation-continues/ will be there forever with no closure.

With crypto it is a bit more complicated. Holding the keys means holding the funds as well. Its not like just holding car keys. Its like having the keys AND the car in your parking lot AND both under your full responsibility....

Yes, and sometimes the person responsible to keep the car keys is responsible if the car gets stolen. It just depends on legislation and situation. That's why I asked if the person that came with such a blanket statement was a specialist or not. If not, his answer is quite useless.

Are there no famous youtubers in the crypto space that we can reach out to bring light to the current issue?  This is pretty mess up.  It’s not just GateHub negligence but also Ripple too with the wallet migration.  If Ripple doesn’t want to step in and take responsibility then everyone in the crypto space needs to know what this company is all about.  I don’t think any company want to risk bad PR.  We need to compile a list of prominent social media figures and reach out to them.  We can all pool and donate for their time speaking on the issues.  If there whales here who are willing to help with some contributions then that would be awesome.  We need to watch each other backs in this community.  Otherwise, it’s always the common fools who get screwed.

I think @Silkjaer articles already super bad publicity. Just that we still waiting for them to come out with something.
