What bulanula did is stealing.
I disagree. At best, he's refusing to return what is not rightfully his.

Your refusal to read a TOS is your problem man.
If we apply this to bulanula's case, smart1985's "refusal" to double-check the amount he sent is his problem... and yet bulanula got the tag?

There was a really funny article I read a while back about someone who put a line in his TOS as a joke to see if anyone actually read it. When you agree to it you gave him property of your soul.
I've read the article. It wouldn't hold up in court.

So you are wrong... no scam has been committed here ... yet.
bulanula refusing to return 22.5 BTC that were accidentally sent to him is enough to brand him a scammer, but giantdragon refusing to return 1.35000002 BTC that were sent to him because I overlooked the fact that the FAQ was a legally binding document isn't? Your reasoning is flawless!

Most, if not all, people just click 'Accept' and never actually read what they agree to.

Can you show where they have acted unlawfully ?
There's a difference between dishonest and unlawful. I never stated what they were doing was the latter.

If not, the problem is your lack of reading and understand the terms and conditions, then ASSuming you could get back unused bitcoins instead of performing your due diligence.
Sorry, but I don't always pay strict attention to every word of the Terms of Service when reading them - especially when the FAQ is incorporated as a legally binding document. That's just insanity.

I can understand the need to prevent money laundering.

Would you want an investigation of yourself, your service, and your servers and customer data because you allowed a policy whereby others could launder/wash the BTC's ?

Here is an example. You use bitcoins from and illegal enterprise, then launder/wash them at this service, then trade them for cash or credits at a financial institution/card.
Please see my posts debunking the money laundering argument in the thread. The output has not been redeemed yet, and he can just bounce them right back to the same address. No money laundering going on here.

That IS indeed money laundering and against AML legislation.
Working in the financial industry, I find this particularly amusing. AML does not apply to Bitcoin.

So you are wrong... no scam has been committed here ... yet.
