KingOfSports, you seem like an OK guy, so how did you get the below red flag next to your name? I'm curious how this would happen, is it a troll who decides to smear you? Or maybe, like in business, if you do enough business eventually some a hole will be displeased for some reason?
It's a strange story.
KoS struggled with gambling addiction. From what I can remember, he claims that he deliberately damaged his reputation so that people wouldn't lend him coins to gamble with.
I believe the dude made him a loan of like 2btc, but sent it to him twice. KoS being the degin that he is justified paying him back half the bitcoins, but since there was no agreement for the other two coins that they where just freebies
lol (or the story is very close to along those lines.)
Moral of the story:
Click the send button once.
I suffered from gambling addiction. Now I just invest and keep my distance from it all mostly. I have a girlfriend, life and everything going for me. The story is similar to what was described however the one thing not mentioned is that I still have made offers to end the whole dispute. When I lost that night, I paid back the 2 BTC owed and disappeared for weeks (I went to rehab a week later). Bitcoin at the time was $125 per coin. When I came back to Bitcoin and learned all of what had happened to my rep and such I made the person who made the loan to me, an offer, $275 in BTC which was 2 BTC + 10% for the delay for the unagreed upon BTC. In the month or two I was completely gone from BTC and the whole world, BTC had shot up from $125 to $500+. The person who had made the mistake of clicking send twice did not even consider he had messed up and that my offer was completely awful and stuck to 2 BTC owed, a profit of 5+ his mistake in value. I refused, my rep tarnished.
We both made mistakes, my offer still stands and he will still always refuse it I'm sure. If BTC collapses to $137.50 per coin, I will send 2 BTC to his wallet address in his forum account as a kind gesture.
I have traded thousands, escrowed (when I was trusted) as much as $5000 at a time, and helped others in many ways. I was not out to scam anyone, if that had been the case I would have gotten someone for a lot more. I disagree with my forum rating and I wish personally the red would go away so I could do a forum campaign but alas it probably won't.
