Eventually, after months of trying to convince a friend to pull funds out of MTI, I think I have managed to convince him to a degree. He has a little over 6 bitcoin, but I honestly doubt that he will be able to withdraw anything. He told me that it took him about 6 attempts to try to withdraw this morning. He is just doing this to appease me, but is still firmly of the belief that MTI is legitimate and that all these hassles will blow over. He is a good friend and is one of those trusting, naive kinda people but sadly, I think that he has waited too long and is going to lose everything. He is in his late 60's with no pension fund or retirement benefits - nothing else to live on. Everything that he had, he put into MTI. I am sure that there are hundreds of "investors" in MTI in the same boat. So sad to see what these greedy bastards have done.
