I thought America had plenty of guns. How is he still alive after scamming people for so much money. How hasnt he been shot by some poor bastard who lost his house/car/family due to this arsehole?
I may be a little too bit of a conspiracy nut on this one, but I think the amount of money stolen has been greatly over exaggerated.
For starters, if you gave him 1 btc to buy hashlets, and by the end thought you had 2 btc worth of xpy/stakers/whatever was going on at the end, you really only lost 1 btc. It was gone the second you gave it to him and all the other numbers were imaginary.
Secondly, the people who were robbed are not acting the way i would if I was robbed, or that other people do when they are robbed. Forming companies with people in on the con, starting new things while ignoring the warnings that were given the first time, taking forever to file a suit/go to the authorities, zero PR push to pressure the one party involved in this that has money and a reputation to hellp make it right...
Even if you take the SEC numbers at face value (quoting from memory here but I think it was something like 10 thousand users, $20 million collected, $10 million paid out) it leaves ~$1000 average loss per bagholder. For most rational (yeah, I know, but bear with me here) people that's probably not enough to start shooting, so it's only the few "whales" that Homero should be concerned about. And of course Team XPY did an admirable job cooling his marks.
Speaking of the good pastor who allegedly sunk $500k into it and doesn't seem to be hunting Homero down just yet I think it's safe to say that the really big "whales" are either too tame, or don't reside in the US (Rashab [sp?]), or have some other reason to not want to inflict bodily harm.
