Are FTX Client Funds Doomed? SBF Sends Email To Investors

CoinKite today announced some new features that are sure to please their customers. The Toronto, Canada-based company outlined in a blog post that users can now send both bitcoin and litecoin via email and create bitcoin and litecoin vouchers. On the email front, it's exactly as it sounds. The sender sends the desired the amount, and CoinKite alerts the recipient via email. The recipient doesn't even need a wallet right away to get the email. They can set it up afterward to redeem the amount sent. With regard to vouchers, which is slightly more interesting, users can share them by email,....

A bitcoin user has created a way in which to use a bitcoin address to securely read email. The project, named B1txr, allows users to provide their bitcoin address, followed by @b1txr.com, to anyone as a way of avoiding giving out their real email address.

Good news, perhaps, for bitcoin owners frustrated by Apple's recent removal of Blockchain's wallet app from its stores. A service just launched promises to let people make bitcoin transactions via email, promoting itself as a solution that "works natively on the iPhone, and can't be banned by Apple". The fully automated 'Email Tip Bot' is the product of developer Christian Genco, who also moonlights as a stage actor and speaker at TEDx events in Texas.

Reddit user sockinabox recently awoke to an email from Mt. Gox informing him that his funds had been withdrawn. About $12,000 of his personal funds are now gone with absolutely no way for the rightful owner to recover them.

Gox responded to every email they received about stolen funds, can they actually do anything to recover funds that have already been stolen? Any Bitcoiner will realize that once the coins....
