Hi vuce,
Every negative rating on there is a result of a mostly-harmless prank I pulled on #bitcoin-otc. I put up a shopped screenshot showing that I had a 20000 BTC long position, and said I was going to liquidate it soon. I thought they'd think that the screenshot was fake, but it turns out that lying on the channel, even if trolling, is a serious matter. It was a joke that went bad, and I apologize to the few people who lost money.
However, I assure you that the incident has no bearing at all on the reliability of loans to me, or any other dealings with me. I have always been completely transparent... I have always made potentially unsavory aspects of my business, such as the ponzis I used to run, completely public, and I have done the same with loans. I have handled large amounts of bitcoin in the past, and I will continue to do so and maintain my trustworthiness. Many well-known members (won't mention them publicly unless they give me permission) trust me despite my negative ratings, because they know that in my
actual business dealings, I have always been reliable.
Thanks for bringing it up. I should have addressed this long ago, and you reminded me.
