Did they even pay the advertisers?
I don't get why scum were advertising for them too, knowing it had to have been a scam.
Honestly... your advertising a gambling website Primedice, albeit this is reputable currently, who knows maybe one day it will be come a "scam" because the operator loses all the Bitcoin or something else happens to shut down the site. (Lets hope not we need sites like Primedice)
Then someone else will criticize you for advertising the Scam site in your signature.
"Returns of up to 130% in just 24 hours." Of course it was a Ponzi scheme. What did you think was going to happen?
The thing is: some people are so greedy that they just cannot think clearly... The scammers explore this awful reality, and the victims are exactly those uncontrolled greedy ones.
Those on the signature campaign were not in the wrong: no one could ever imagine that there are still such stupid people to invest in ponzi...

The same reason that people advertise gambling websites that acquire money from those who don't understand the mathematics of negative expectation:
Greed.
For many people, putting money into an obvious ponzi is a form of gambling. They are "betting" that they will be one of the lucky ones that can get their profits out before the ponzi collapses. Meanwhile there are others that fail to understand the mathematics and take risks beyond their personal risk threshold without realizing it.
Sounds a bit like "dice" sites, doesn't it? Many people "bet" that they will be one of the lucky ones that wins at the dice site. Meanwhile there are others that fail to understand the mathematics and take risks beyond their personal threshold without realizing it.

Nothing can be done, people were warned and they chose to "invest", it's their money and they can do whatever they want with it.
Totally agree... it was their choose we cant do more for them...

In wallstreet place, it's nothing ... dude.

I don't get, why people fall for that. I mean, seriously, where is that extra money supposed to come from? 
Unfortunately history is filled with examples of people that fail to learn from past experiences.
very true, many people invested in bitcoinia, then in pirates BS&T and then in MTGOX.. what do all these 3 things have in common, they all involve putting funds into addresses NOT OWNED by the person..
So the finally problem is the : Human
, who own and control these : Mt.gox , bitcoinia etc.... ? Unfortunately history is filled with examples of people that fail to learn from past experiences.

This is the biggest trend I see with people losing Bitcoin, people should never feel comfortable when they keep Bitcoin on Addresses generated by someone other than them-self.
Its not much different than using unloaded paper wallets that someone else gave you, then hoping they did-int make a copy of the key pairs and won't take it back at any point.
Generate your own key pairs, and you generate some peace of mind.
The bright side is, they will only be scammed once in their lives and they will learn.
If only that were true.

No matter how many warnings people post about these scams, there will always be newbies getting scammed. The bright side is, they will only be scammed once in their lives and they will learn.

The real problem is : Most users see a lot of free and easy oppurtunity ( specially in this forum ) for make easy money ( btc , or whatever you want- € , $ etc .. ) .
But free money doesn't exist
