I nominate Erik Voorhees, not so much for SatoshiDICE, where his leadership of this innovative and hugely profitable gambling site seems to have done okay for himself and investors, but for FeedZeBirds, where he very much deserves to be on this illustrious list:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/feedzebirds-update-feb-9-2013-82866

Of course with the following "pins":

*Smooth Talker*
*Disappearing Act*
*Carrot on a Stick*

+1 for Will and Terra of Icedrill.

I'd also like to nominate Eduardo from HF for "smooth talker".  I talked to that knob on the phone because I had a few simple questions that could have been succinctly and sufficiently answered in five minutes.   Thirty minutes of phone conversation later, nary a single one was answered.

Well looks like everyone got the goodies
I would throw Pirate in there though since Trendon can be on the list or Tradefortress but they didn't have IPO's
So My vote goes to Eric since its the only one I fell for lol tsk and it was working till btct died lol.
This isn't about IPOs, this is just about the failed businessmen, hence Mark Karpeles being on the list.

I nominate Dead Terra and Will from Icedrill.

*nominate for Carrot on a stick*

They are doing the Hasfast Scam almost down to the letter,
Miners now missing and holding Shares entitlements hostage.

Will For Cryptomex.

Investors cant sell their shares with out filling out a KYC form,
that could be used to scam in future.

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 nominate Yifu Guo.  The avalon chip sale fiasco cost a lot of people a lot of money... and he certainly had enough funds that he *could* have done the right thing by his customers. Instead - he screwed over the end users as well as a number of promising miner assembly businesses.

+1 First ASIC on the market, also first one to fail/scam! This is pure and live bitcoin history.

*Not sure if he qualifies for the CEO position.

Also - Eduardo DeCastro of HashFast.
Hashfast delivered late on initial batches, and then not at all.
A flowon casualty was the IceDrill project which was due to receive a large number of hashfast units.
