I have thought all day what to post here. I have always tried to tell the truth to everyone, JFox, A-Team and members alike. Here is the truth, as I know it…
For over 8 months, JFox paid members every single day, and you were all quite happy with him then. Then along came DDOS attacks on Liberty Reserve. Some people were not quite so happy then, but most people still waited to see what would happen. Well, what happened was that JFox spent quite a bit of time and effort to make sure his site would endure through Liberty Reserve’s downtime. He did this for himself, and for his members. If he was a scammer, he could have shut the site down right then and said no one could make it back from a payment processor being down for a week. But he came back and he paid everyone what was due them.
The day AFTER he had caught back up on all payments, a hacker got into 14DHS and caused a lot of false pendings to appear in the payouts. This is the audit that JFox was doing, to clear out the false payouts. He informed members, and most of the A-Team, that it was a glitch in the script to spare us the panic of the members and the frustration for the A-Team. Regardless, he was within 2 hours of completing his audit when the site was DDOS attacked and was down for 3 days.
He had already exhausted himself getting things cleared up and getting people paid after the LR downtime. With these new issues to deal with, it just became too much for him to handle. The stress caused him to have a sort of breakdown. His doctor has advised him, for his own health, to stay away from the computer! Despite these warnings, he did come online and send an email to all A-Team members telling us what we now think is the “whole story”. This information was shared with you. You know everything we know at this point.
The A-Team has done nothing more than try to be as helpful as we can. We trust in JFox because he has earned that trust. JFox still has my trust because he has not yet done anything to change that. It is not his fault he is ill. Yes, he tried to do too much all by himself. He should have allowed the A-Team to assist him more than he did. But he is dealing with millions of dollars and thousands of members’ accounts. He felt it was in the best interest of the members to handle all of the transactions himself so he could be sure the funds in all accounts were safe. Hindsight is 20/20, we know that. Perhaps if he were in a similar situation in the future, he would accept assistance.
I truly hope that JFox can take a few days off and then get back to the business of getting 14DHS back on track in some way. If that is not possible, then I do believe he will issue refunds, at least to members who are not in profit. This is what I have asked him to do. In the meantime, calling him names isn’t going to make things any better. Does it make you feel better to call him names? To call the A-team names? To say “I told you so”?
Please, we are all adults here. No one put money into 14DHS with blindfolds on. Everyone knows that nothing can last forever. Yes, I thought, and still do, that 14DHS has the potential to be a great program that will last for years. If I am wrong, then I’m sorry, but I am only a human being. If there is anyone here who had not made a mistake in their life, then please step forward.
JFox thought he could do everything himself. Obviously, he was right for over 8 months, but then he was wrong when so many things had to be done at once. He also is only human.
That is all I have to say on this matter at this time. You have all of the information that I or any of the A-Team have, so asking “when will refunds start” does absolutely no good. When we have any more news from JFox, it will be posted for all members to see. Until then, thank you for your patience and understanding.
