500 Bitcoin Bounty does not look's legit to me

A lot of WDC people felt the same way. Definitely a marketing error.

I think they hoped that it would create a lot of buzz and excitement about scharmbeck that would spread around the internet and help with viral marketing but because some people perceived it to be scammy or desperate it sort of backfired.

I don't think it is the end of the world the bounty doesn't get paid until all the SBFS shares are sold so they are not out of pocket the 500 BTC.

Scharmbeck evaluated itself at $40M out of thin air and intended to crowd fund 5000(!!!) BTC to reward 1 person with 500BTC out of other investors pockets.

For anyone who still believes its not a Ponzi, go chase the bounty.

Seriously what the hell is happening??? I'v been transfering every shitcoin that I mined into WDC because of Scharmbeck and now it can be a scam lol Cheesy

Well now I transfered my WDC to another coin that I think can be huge this year seriously those kind of things need a quick response and nothing seems to be happening - even the worldcoin dev is confused dafuq. I guess I might be done with WDC...

I think it is a little premature to assume you were correct about this. I myself am annoyed with the lack of communication from Scharmbeck but that doesn't make it a scam.

There were doubts in the beginning but now it looks exactly more like what it is. Putting up a shut down notice and then going away for 4 days? What kind of company does that after raising half a million dollar? Its either a straight scam (Like deliberately pushing down their SBFS stock) or a zero skill business management.

And guess what: They might come up with some sort of an excuse and an apology (they had 4 days to polish it) and everyone will continue believing in them.

Honestly, at this point, if they don't have a good enough excuse, they don't deserve to scam people of any more money.

He calls everything a scam. A broken clock is right twice a day.

From reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/worldcoin/comments/1x69o8/worried_about_the_current_state_of_affairs/

Apparently the main developer can't make a statement regarding Scharmbeck.

They got half a million dollar less than 2 month ago and already shutting the door on the shareholders. Money is already in the bank, no need to bother working anymore.

Can we call it a scam yet?

Greed is out of control and as I look at posters profiles in the Alt section it seems they are All from Dec 2013 lol...

Greed is always the same, just more scammers getting attracted to Coins.

Plus, really: Scharmbeck is offering 500 BTC for something? You really believe he will pay out 500 BTC? C'mon, you can't be serious. At least this text looks to me that they are looking only for greedy "customers" (I'd call them sheeps).

That was a complete Hoax http://www.coindesk.com/russian-prosecutors-office-btc-e-investigation-hoax/

So many Troll Scammers doing crazy shit to try and get the market to drop by causing panic. What has this become? Greed is out of control and as I look at posters profiles in the Alt section it seems they are All from Dec 2013 lol...Honest Crypto supporters need to stick together and not allow all these scammers to get away with shit just because they don't mind Lying and Yelling the Loudest!!

Just wanted to make sure that people know that the BTC-e scare was an extensive Hoax done by Hacking the Russian Prosecutors website lol

Moral of the story, "Launches of complicated financial websites are difficult and risky" Don't believe me, ask the US Government how easy it is (Obamacare)

Well I think we need to keep cool heads for know until we can sort out what is really going on.

Poster of this thread only has 5 posts so it's not like we can assume he/she has a sterling reputation or that the screenshot is even real if the message isn't up right now.

That is all you have to say for this? That this image is fake? Huh

It is either a direct potential scam or a huge honest mistake (just for the benefit of the doubt) with no announcement regarding the matter from Scharmbeck ever since.

Right now it looks like Scharmbeck is trying to ignore it ever happened, sweep it under the carpet and avoid taking any form of liability.

I spoke with Gudmunsn today on IRC. He confirmed that, the message was real. He overreacted to the new fincen rules and panicked then changed his mind.

Apparently they are still open for business and processing transactions.

Some of the lack of communication yesterday and today was caused by the IRC chat being DDOS'd, I can confirm this myself.

When someone with low post count comes on the forum and starts spreading FUD you have to be cautious There are tons of sock puppets on this forum and without a post history you can go back and look at, you can't just assume that the poster is being honest.
