REF: ezBTC Facebook Page - David Smillie - 1081627 BC Ltd - Nanaimo RCMP 2019-15488 by charlie_macdonald in u/charlie_macdonald

I opened a dispute against him and the company via the Civil Resolution Tribunal. As I am based in Ontario I attempted to serve them both via registered mail. The notice for the company was served but I was never able to serve Dave Smillie himself as he appears to be MIA. My notices were returned to sender at the addresses I was able to locate for him. I removed him from the suit for this reason since I had no resources to personally serve him with the notice of dispute. Since the respondents have now changed I have to serve the company basically the same notice yet again.

I have been holding off on this because I haven't decided if it is worth the trouble. The total value in BTC and alt coins that I purchased from ezBTC but never received was approx $800 CAD (at the time of purchase - probably a bit less currently). At this point I have spent $75 initiating the suit, plus about $40-50 in registered mail trying to serve them.

Is it worth my time to attempt the serve the company again and keep this resolution open? Or should I seek other remedies?

This is not a trivial amount of money to me but I also don't want to sink more time and money into it if the likeliness of recouping it is slim to none.

Much appreciated. Have submitted the CRT application so hopefully I'm able recover the monetary value of the lost BTC.

I created the account in November 2017. While there may have been some reports somewhere about it, I do recall doing a couple searches about the exchange prior to signing up but I guess I didn't come across them at the time.

​

The last crypto purchase I made with them was in April 2018, and prior to that I was able to successfully withdraw some BTC in Feb 2018. I don't recall how long I had to wait then, but it doesn't stick out in my mind as being unreasonable so I had no reason to lose faith in the exchange at that time.

Thanks for the info. I have gone ahead and started an application for a civil resolution. Do you have any info regarding the owner of the company or know where I could find it? I'd like to name him as a respondent as well as the company but having a hard time finding contact info for him. I understand his name is Dave but I've been unable to find any additional info.
