Topic: Altcoin GANGSTERS poll - who willl rot in prison for scam? - page 3. (Read 16330 times)

Most epic fraud of the year = asiacoin. I admit when Gox was robbed, or Zetacoin really didn't have the deal with Safaricom, I already knew that, but I still feel for those people that didn't do the research or trusted the wrong people. With Asiacoin, nobody out there warned anyone. It was a madness lasting between 1-10 of march. They secretly premined 30 billion coins and partially dumped for a few hundreds btc.

Can we re-open the poll and remove the choices with 5% or less of the vote?

I know I could, but, lazy...

There's probably a couple new names to add by now.

we need a back patch or tattoo or something

Not sure why they said the "entire hyperstake crew" or even hyperstake at all for that matter.  I've lost money on HYP still.  I stick around because I like the people.

Hmmm. Alright, well I will assume the accusation is the way that HyperStake was created. Me and another person, David, held a large share of TRK, the dev was one of those create a fake account devs that stopped posting after they cashed out.  The coin was declining, and community dieing. I decided to takeover the coin to fix it, but instead of continuing as TRK, to fork it into its own separate chain called HyperStake.  A fake fud crew came out with scam allegations, and then conveniently a group of copy cat coins were released a week later.  The allegations were mainly that we "premined" the coin, because it was a fork launch and that we already had holdings of it. This was well known before the fork (why would we fork a coin we did not have interest in?), and everything was public from the beginning. Fact is that I, and David, weren't even in top ten holders at launch.

Not sure why this would mean I would rot in prison, seeing as everything was announced in the public domain before it happened, nobody was ever given inside information, David and I are now both in the top 3 holders of the coin still (after 6 months) and have both not once sold any meaningful amount of the coin.  Commits still happen a few times a week on HYP, and the coin continues to have a respectful community.

Not sure how else to defend myself, and honestly don't really care that much about being on the list, I just thought it was funny that one of the troll accounts created to fud HYP got us on this list (look at eyeswideopen account history).

OMG totally voted for that scoundrel David Latapie.

 

We should only call him Dastardly Dave from now on!

defend yourself with facts and I will remove you...

That guy was scamming on the internet since the 1990s, and already went to jail / had a record and probably will be back out in a few years.   That's European prison for you - it's like a gated country club compared to American prison.  A lot of European countries let you out on the weekends, let you decorate your cell and even play video games / browse the internet.





BTW - that photo is from a "maximum" (most strict) security prison in Britain and yet it looks better than a lot of college dormitories in the United States.  In Scandinavia, prison is higher quality of life than working full time in most developed countries.
