I feel like anyone who has made much has lost a little somewhere along the way. I know I have, often to my own fault for not more carefully verifying who I was lending to or investing in a sketch business, but that is what has also allowed me to make more than what I have lost.

BTC2.50 lost to iamtheone and his HungerCoins Invest scam. Haven't quite recovered it in mining income yet.

2.8 BTC, back when I was mining, bitcoinpool.com withdraw address was changed to whatever, I wasn't there to monitor so the payment went to whomever. They said it was a hack, facepalm when it looked like they got injected and used cheap PW hashing on top.
Had a similar thing happen to me but only lost 0.1 BTC but the fault was mine as I reused my password on slush pool and some other exchange/pool/website that got hacked.

There should be negative choices as some of us make a living with bitcoin. 
Overall I have made some money but the poll is only about losses.
I know a lot of money was lost in hacks (bitcoinica, lineode, bitcoin7, mybitcoin, etc https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/list-of-major-bitcoin-heists-thefts-hacks-scams-and-losses-old-83794 ) and of course with Pirate.

well obviously most of us have made money, the thread is about those entries in the loss column
I had 10 BTC sitting in bitcoinica...thought I was being smart by spreading my exchange risk off of GOX

How much money (in BTC and fiat) have you lost in Bitcoin-related trades or investments or USD investments related with offers on this forum? Due to BTC volatility I am using USD in the poll.
I myself have lost about $198 (to Andrew Nollan shakaru).
