I'm not really angry though cause I'm sure now the guy(s) behind this has some nasty stuff coming at him, and for those that got burned (myself included) — it's a good lesson. All is good.
So is it appropriate to begin discussing taking legal action yet? Obviously this has been a big scam. A large chunk of the IPO funds are unaccounted for and he is not even shipping the GPUs that are accounted for.
I would say with products not being shipped, this is a point which can be taken up legally, but only if wacko wants to pursue it. Services and products are not being rendered/provided, the owner is in breach--regardless of the reason (familial, etc). Not to be callous to whatever his situation is, but he is in the hot seat at this point.
...and in the mean time - someone should sincerely consider taking over this coin. I don't believe that even if there was a "good excuse" for all of this, there would be any credibility left for this coin. It needs a clean break, and a "new beginning". Not talking re-launch or anything, just a public initiative to separate from the things that are clearly wrong, and take GPUC where it could/should have went in the first place. I still believe that this is a great idea, and I am still holding what I have. Partially because I don't want to dump @1, but mostly I still have hopes for it. We are near the top of the list at Mintpal, and I am still voting. I know that's not a massive priority, but if we get a grip on this thing now, and can mitigate some of the damage, it's a good position to be in. If the coin gets a new face, and we get on Mintpal at the same time, it could be quite positive, due to the new exposure.
I know there are die-hards here who are holding lots of GPUC - Let's see if we can't grab this thing by the ba||s and turn it around.
So... you're saying that since we wouldn't want to do anything that might help Jaymes out, we shouldn't do anything that might boost the coin price? We should "cut off our nose to spite our face"?
We should all just dump @1 (if we get that lucky) to make sure Jaymes doesn't make anything?
We should all just go ahead and delete our wallets then - coins and all, cause it's a worthless coin, and we shouldn't try to salvage anything, cause Jaymes might get some money too?
Well, I don't know about everyone else, but I'm not down with that.
I suppose you're thinking that we go to all the trouble of rescuing the coin, get some value, and then Jaymes dumps, and we're left holding the worthless coins? We're already there. What could it hurt to try? I'd rather sell at 2 sat then at 1.
