I worked there AMA.

I still dont have access to my 401k.

What do you want to share using the anonymity of this platform?

I don't know enough to even ask a good question.

Thats the neat trick, never assume anonymity. Def in a case like this one. I treat people with respect even here.

But I guess if I had to share, im still really pissed that our 401ks are still locked and I cant access it from John Handcock. Plus some people got 2 paychecks taken instead of just the last one. We had to cancel our old bank account because bitwise post Jake/Irma tried to come after past checks from multiple people. If my bank didnt protect me, direct deposit apparently will happily allow them to take past checks back. And BW did not talk to us this entire time after we were furloughed. After 3 weeks of being furloughed, we were still technically employed and had ex-bitwisers try to tell us not to talk to the media, to trust the system. I am still angry about how it all went down.
