tl;dr: mining farm was apparently seized because it was stealing eletricity. CEO vanished, probalby fled to thailand.

timeline:

02/08 - AMHASH postponing dividend payments during the spring festival unexpectedly.
02/09 - people on the forum speculated about Amhash share trade would be suspended on Havelock during the spring festival.
02/10 - erroneous last AMHASH dividend payment at Havelock happened.
02/18 - The beginning of the very long Havelock outtage.
02/19 - Someone expresses suspicion about Amhash hashrate declining for the first time.
02/20 - Havelock starts a separate thread about their long outtage.
02/26 - NotLambchop points out that FriedCat [founder of ASICMINER/AMHASH or whatever] has not been active since January 26, 2015
02/28 - AMHASH announces the continuation of payment delays after spring festival.
03/02 - Havelock comes back without trading function, trading becomes available after 2 other days (March 04, 2015)
03/02 - Amhash announces the "missing" hashpower after 2 months has passed. Someone claims that that the miners were seized by the chinese government.
03/03 - AMHASH denies ponzi claims of Airwolf

Airwolf posted:

"So since Dec/25/2014 you have been a PONZI, and instead of halting and come out clean on Dec/26 you continued to paint the illusion of a reputable business and allowing trade and paying dividends unsupported by real hardware?

Ok, i have dealt with this before (MtGox and PBmining) and recovered ALL the money, you know how? By gathering the biggest investors and pooling with them a REWARD OF 300 BTC for the whereabouts of YOU, YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS and another 300 BTC to pay for the people that is going to PAY YOU AND THEM A VISIT.

You are not dealing here with the average guy that invests 0.1 BTC, i represent a group with almost 250.000 shares, value over 250 BTC, I represent the kind of people that it is VERY DANGEROUS to mess with in any part of the world.

So i will offer you an exit: Reimburse our shares for 250 BTC or i will start the process of hunting you and your relatives and friends. You have 24 hours, after that i will start the hunt and i will make it public, so not only you will have to pay the biggest ones, but almost every little guy that sums to the hunt. It is best for you to settle this now than settle it later, check my posts in this forum, I HAVE DONE THIS BEFORE.

Be smart, be like Mark Karpeles and Jason Boyko, they are still good and their relatives too because they acted smart, they kept this private and small and ended up losing less.

You have 24 hours."

03/05 - Havelock's late announce about AMHASH trades being frozen.
03/05 - An announcement from AsicMiner about FriedCat's loss, and that they are unaware about the deal between FC and RockXie.

quote:

1. We have lost contact with Friedcat more than 40 days, we are now still focusing on finding him.

03/07 - A chinese investor BtcLtcNmc, says he heard about FriedCat's mom called the police to inform his missing.
03/07 - Someone reports that Rock Xie has shared their correspondence with FriedCat about Amhash.

quote:

Worst of all, all other managers and leaders of the company know nothing, nothing about anything at all. They just didn't care about the operations of the company, and gave everything to friedcat to handle.

03/11 - Primeminer, mentions friedcats last known location and electricity theft claims

quote:

apparently they got in trouble with local officials and got arrested as the partner site (apparently a food factory) has been stealing electricity. All people at the site and hardware has been arrested.

03/11 - David Fan's (Fan Dawei) first announcement. Jutarul, shares some information he got from the company a few hours after David Fan's announcment

quote:

(...)
However, seeing how ASICMINER got hit by a double whammy of first loosing its farm and then its CEO is quite disturbing, to say the least.
(...)
So far it is clear that there seems to be no real clause which defines who is liable for events like theft or fire. Obviously, there has been no insurance plan either.
(...)
The conclusion which was already drawn a long time ago is that proper assessment requires boots on the ground. But those who actually were, never developed the habit of fiduciary reporting.


03/12 - Rock Xie, writes his 2nd blog about the Amhash incident [quoted below to showcase the awesome translation effort]

quote:

I told David said, AMHash if not promptly deal will mark a myth shattered, he said: "What? What did not myth myth." I want to say is that it is bound to be on the History of Bitcoin an iconic time, regardless of whether the ultimate grilled cat, will mark an end to the era of personal reputation.

To be honest, it is very big blow for me, changed my views on many things. Although I know many people who like grilled cat, believed that he would come back, still do not believe the cat is subjective roast escape, but he disappeared objective facts, has given a lot of people, including me, causing injury.
(...)
Everything is like a dream, my main bitcoin career origin roast cat, the cat seems to finally turn the roast edge only.

03/14 - Jutarul sharing the answers he got for the questions pm'ed to him

quote:

Q) Are customers/investors threatening legal action at this time?
A) Yes.

03/16 - Someone called Tommy on weibo claims that FriedCat went to Thailand; Cloh76 posts about Havelocks email which informs about the delisting Amhash fund from public to private.
03/18 - Jutarul shares another post regarding Amhash

quote:

If you consider litigation or are in talks with a lawyer, you may want to wait this one out. Chances are that after taking into account the cost of litigation or lawyer fees you end up with less %. Also the contractual situation is very complex - you may end up suing the wrong company.
(...)
The only person who could make a clear statement on that would be FC who conveniently vanished into thin air.
{...}
It's very frustrating to see how the people who worked closest with FC seemingly have the least amount of information on his whereabouts. That alone reminds me of the dog who didn't bark.

that the story so far.

given enough time, any darknet market will get busted, and keeping the site online makes it possible someone will find an exploit in your site that gives up your true ip or some other bit of info that makes it easier to prosecute you. so i can see the fear of getting prosecuted for running an international market for selling drugs would lead one to want to stop running said market so they get most of the money and none of the jailtime.

of course, the alternative seems to be "what if the government just left silk road alone?" at which point you might as well just legalize drugs and then why would anyone use a silk road derivative when you could go to a real store where you can call the cops if the guy cheats you?

it seems there is a crisis of trust in the drug market built around a trustless currency. maybe people need to start sending money to the void to show they are honest.
