usagi, you made a lot of people lose a lot of money. I gave you my money (yeah, enough to buy a decent car) and it's gone, and in a very unhelpful way. I empathize with your situation, but since I wouldn't take the risks you took with any investment (including mine, but especially others'), it's hard for me to attribute the loss to an investment risk other than you yourself. I don't see anything in this picture that alleviates your liability.
If you want to stay in the community and be respected, you need to show us that you are capable of turning this around. Does this thread help with it? Absolutely not. I can't even comprehend why this thread exists. None of this really matters. Not to your shareholders, not to you, not to anyone.
This thread exists because I have experienced financial loss as a direct result of a 4 month plus long campaign by the same 5 or 6 people to defame me. Even recently people like deeplink repeatedly state, over and over and over, that I swindled people and ran fraudulent business schemes.
The reason why this is so dangerous is because YES, mining crashed, YES, glbse shut down and royally fucked both you and me. And I am not happy that happened. But if you suddenly began to believe I intentionally defrauded you, then something like HorseRider's thread might get created for me -- unfairly -- due to the lies spread -- and I could get royally fucked up over it. I honestly believe that is what people like deeplink want to see happen to me and they do not care if they have to lie to achieve their goal.
It has gotten to the point where mods like badbear insert themselves in my threads to troll and attack me, for little to no reason. What the hell is badbear doing taking potshots at me in unrelated theads?
These people have demonstrated they WILL NOT LEAVE ME ALONE. I don't know what else to do.
Theymos has stated to me in PM over and over he will not do anything. Not about the trolls, not about the scam accusations, and not about the mods. There is nothing I can do. It is not my fault. I am working to pay people back. As a shareholder, you should make a claim. You will be given assets and whatever bitcoins I can get from GLBSE and the sale of hardware, and whatever is leftover from the guitar/amp. I have one interested buyer in PM now. Mods can confirm this. I am working to do the right thing. I cannot allow people to believe I was defrauding people. That is not true.
You are giving the same reaction Nefario gave when confronted with the increasing issues with GLBSE. He stopped listening to people who he was obligated to and began focusing on trolls and eventually left. I get that it would ease your conscience if there were enemies you're confronting and they were somehow guilty of the situation you're in.
Instead, the case is this. There are very many people on this forum that are disappointed because you lost their money. They don't have anything to say to you, and they are really not interested in this "I'm being trolled" thing. At all. It doesn't change anything.
One more thing. What is the extent of damage that this "trolling operation" caused you? Did you lose contracts because of it? Did your IPO's fail because of it? I want to understand what it proves, and especially what effect it had in you failing us.
I have demonstrated that Ian Bakewell, BitcoinMiningINV, and others have canceled contracts, cut business, and not taken business as a direct result of what has been said about me. This hurt CPA in the final days. it made it very difficult for me to do business. In the final days no one would sign a contract with CPA. The trolling destroyed the business. Patrick harnett and Mollison both left the board because of this. They became embarrassed to be associated with CPA. So we lost a lot from this. A lot.
Maybe you are right and this serves no purpose. But I don't know what else to do. It is not right that people can say whatever they want and destroy someone's rep without any proof.
Edit: Locked so everyone sees this post.
Mods please feel free to unlock and issue a statement/query/judgement over this issue at your leisure.
I'm actually psychologically satisfied with this, collecting my responses in one place. I do hope someone does make a final statement one way or the other. For god's sake mods. A statement on this is needed please.
