It isn't simply a dcase of "just" doing it. Some people will have invested/divested whilst specific bets happened. So the exact state for every bet would have to be worked out and the losses from that bet applied to those invested when it occurred. You can't, for example, take away funds from someone who had divested before the bets then invested again afterwards.
And, strange as it may seem, a roll-back, could in theory also INCREASE some balances - if they happened to only be invested on rolls that he lost.
It isn't just a case of applying a 1300 BTC 'loss' now.
Having made an announcement of what was happening I don't see how he can change his mind now anyway - and discussing it just encourages FUD with potentially investors trying to withdraw to avoid any claw-back (and new investors wary that they may get penalised for somethng that occurred before they even deposited). Had the error been noticed promptly then I agree a roll-back would have been the best way to go - with the losses to investors then recouped by reduced commission until it was paid off.
But he made his call on how to handle it - so we should just move on from there.
So it's ok that dooglus loses 1300 btc private capital to investors because rolling back is 'complex' and 'he made the call'.
I strongly disagree.
I think you're underestimating him.
Fair resolution would have been immediate roll-back of all bets with the stolen money then dooglus loses it out of his future commission.
He expedited that process - judging, correctly in my view, that settling it up front rather than having to take the site down (and lock up people's funds) whilst he coded, executed, checked and double-checked a roll-back was the best thing to do. Future investor confidence is worth more than saving some BTC short-term. If you fuck up, you admit it, cover it and move on. He's done the first two - yet strangely some people don't want to move on.
