aethero/Ryan-whatever who founded ZIGGAP,
"laptop got fried by lightning strike"

Thats what Jon Montroll should have said. Much more courageous than "simply not there". However, at least the latter is actually true!

Given the state of btc securities, I am surprised the list is so short

Most people want to forget.  Ignoring the scam/honest fail distinction, here is a list of *all* the listings on Bitcoin's highest-volume exchange, Havelock, and how well you would have done if you bought@IPO and held:

Don't forget that aethero/Ryan-whatever who founded ZIGGAP, ran off with everyone's money, and then came up with all the conspiracy accusations.  I was like "dude...its an internet forum"

And Jon Montroll gets another vote as well, along with Ken Slaughter and his sad attempts to come off as an actual businessman.

I would definitely add RiverBoatBTC (Robert Chet Panzer) and his River Boat Bitcoin casino and Cryptney scam attempt

Whole information in one post: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/warning-scam-river-boat-bitcoin-casino-robert-panzer-riverboatbtc-665033
This guy (Scottbit) is either a) Scammer Ryan Gay or b) Friends with Scammer Ryan Gay (most likely a).

RiverBoatBTC is not a scammer, but he did expose Mr Gay who raised 150BTC for starting an exchange, bought a 1BTC script and has never spoken to investors.

I nominate Mr Gay

Please add BITVPS as a whole, though it's difficult to understand who exactly owned it when.

We are the champions of the night
It's hard to beat Karpeles after he lost so much... especially how he's still on Twitter posting random shit just to piss people off

I vote for Danny Brewster, because of how legit and full of potential his service seemed.
Other than Karpeles, no other CEO on that list has had as much media coverage before deciding to become a trainwreck in a few days.

Mircea popescu - price manipulation on his ridiculous exchange and hyperactive trolling/sabatauge of every bitcoin entity out there. Not exactly scam, per se but such terrible ethics and underhanded business practices I think he deserves a mention

*plus he is so arrogant, including him here will drive him crazy lol

I vote Mircea Popescu. Same reasons.
Him for *Smooth Talking* award as well Smiley

This topic might be helpful if you're looking for more people to choose from: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=576337.0;all

Thanks Malevolent needed to keep track of it, a lot of scams run in the securities thread so an unfortunate addition comes every now and then.

Added Basic to that list as your post reminded me to add CreativeX aka Eric although I already nominated him here and a few others
It looks like a cross listing might be needed with the other thread based on how many Bitcoins were lost.
