Hi maxbeatty,

We’re just sending you a courtesy e-mail to let you know that the funds you deposited into your Envato Marketplace account some time ago are about to expire.

You have $8.00 left to spend by August 19, 2011. Did you know you can spend your deposit on any of Envato’s marketplaces – (ActiveDen , AudioJungle , ThemeForest , VideoHive , GraphicRiver , 3DOcean , CodeCanyon , Tuts+ Marketplace , and PhotoDune )?“

Envato expires cash deposits automatically after one year as a small percentage of users leave money in their account for long periods of time and cannot be contacted. Unfortunately Envato cannot be responsible for holding cash for indefinite periods. That being said, we are very happy to extend your balance if you contact us.

If you wish to extend your cash balance for six months, please sign in and visit http://activeden.net/user/maxbeatty/extend_deposits

Alternatively, by making a new deposit of any amount to your Marketplace account, you will automatically extend the validity of all funds in your account by 12 months.

Cheers,

The Envato Team

Could you imagine PayPal or any other marketplace who holds funds for someone to automatically claim them after a certain period of time? At the time, they required I deposit certain chunks of cash into my account ($10, $20, $100, etc.) so I would purposely have a leftover balance. Now, since I haven’t found anything worth buying in a year, they are stealing my money. I extended my deadline six months, but that’s besides the point. There’s a prominent “deposit” button but no option to withdraw.

One of the things you learn as a college president is that if an undergraduate is wearing a tie and jacket on Thursday afternoon at three o’clock, there are two possibilities. One is that they’re looking for a job and have an interview; the other is that they are an a**hole. This was the latter case.

It seems that you’ve been living two lives. One life, you’re Thomas A. Anderson, program writer for a respectable software company. You have a social security number, pay your taxes, and you… help your landlady carry out her garbage. The other life is lived in computers, where you go by the hacker alias “Neo” and are guilty of virtually every computer crime we have a law for. One of these lives has a future, and one of them does not.
