Lol! That's funny
What I would find interesting is: Did you really think pirate would pay?
Because, if you did making the bet would be a worse offense than otherwise.
Making an unjust claim/bet/whatever on purpose would just be clownish.

"I will not go down in history as the guy who ran away from his responsibilities."
Yes you will. You owe over $1M and have indicated you have no ability or intent to repay it. The only outcomes that isn't "ran away from responsibilities" is repayment of the money you owe. Period. Your long rationalization on how/why the theft occurred is meaningless.
You did intend to steal.
You did believe Pirate would pay and thus profit handsomly (even if only a small % of bets actually paid).
You did cause others to suffer a loss.
You do not have any intention on repaying those you owe in full.
What part of that seems like responsible? Are you delusional enough to think coming back to the forum with no intent to repay is somehow responsible?

In all honestly, your entire post hinges around a misunderstanding so it is actually difficult to give a response to. That said, I have always watched your posts with great admiration at their depth and knowledge and that also pains me that I could not have given a better impression to the people, like you, that I actually admired.
I understand that you are aggravated with me. Thank you for helping to address the issues with what I did and why it was wrong. I do agree with you that it was horrible taste, awful behavior, and completely unacceptable. This and no other is the reason for asking "What should I do?". I see now you perceived this as meaning "can I come back without paying anything?". This is far from the case though. As for my actions, I will keep adjusting my attitude and personality and see what happens in life from there.
Thank you for your continued concern, I know it is in everyone's best interest including mine.

A guy on trial for raping someone can hardly use as a defense that when the date started it wasn't his intent to rape anyone and he didn't realize until after the attack that he might have hurt someone.

I am going to say this, I believe Matthew made a bad taste in a "joke" with the pirate bet.
Matthew indicated in the "I need help" thread" that he believed Pirate would pay and the profits from him winning the bet would help him with some real world financial problems. It doesn't sound like a "joke". If he had won he would have sought losers to pay. He just never had the ability or intent to pay if he lost. Then again he didn't think he would lose.
I initially intended to teach the community a lesson about trust, I did not expect anyone to really take the bets and thus I did not expect to keep any profits. As the bets grew though, I was tempted with greed and I fell into a trap. I flipped back and forth between playing a prank (as it was intended) and actually trying to solve my financial situation (which was becoming dire). I did truly believe that Pirate was going to pay back and I fell for it. I also believe that I intended to pay anyone I lost when it was around 1000 BTC, but as I flip-flopped on my own reasoning and was enjoying the entertainment/trolling so much, I lost control and couldn't stop myself. The attention was just too entertaining and now I will go down in history as the retard who went full retard on the forums-- but I will not go down in history as the guy who ran away from his responsibilities. During the betting process, I hadn't considered people would actually lose money (I seldom plan ahead) and it hadn't occurred to me until shortly after the bet was over that I had actually cost people money/opportunity in large amounts.

He was just joking about paying off if he lost. If he won, he was serious about taking the money. The morality of a thief. He somehow doesn't seem to realize he just digs himself deeper any time he posts shit like that. The scammer tag is quite appropriate.

Thank you guys for your suggestions. I will consider making a donation to torservers both financially and by contributing work as well in the future, but for now I believe the individual settling of this debt is the proper way to go. I have an idea for how to curb my trolling attitude, and it does in fact involve helping others with their project for no profit, so that is kind of in line with what you guys are thinking. I think.
Maybe if all victims could agree on a punishment/fine, it could work (like a 1000 BTC donation to a charity, or developing a specific project). Of course it needs to be a consensus, so either everone must agree or debt to those left out need to be settled individually.
I would agree to this. I vote for a 1000 btc donation to torservers.net.

I am going to say this, I believe Matthew made a bad taste in a "joke" with the pirate bet. And both Matthew and goat have fling the underage porn thing, which kinda cancelled out. But just cause he knew a girl that models and she would take pictures for bitcoins, nothing that bad really. I mean we have all had that hot girl that you kinda tramp around. Maybe that was his version.
I think the dude has an entrepreneurial spirit, that we need more of in this community, so we shouldn't cast him away in exile. BUT we shouldn't welcome him back with open arms I think he really needs to prove it, and just show us, he is back at that level.
Also maybe one of the mods could manage a "bet" fund, and all or half of the profits from these new ventures can be put there to be disturbed to those people.

The mods are just as corrupt as anyone given enough opportunity.

We're talking about a large amount of funds over a long period of time. I don't think the mods are the appropriate people to be delegated that role.

Well he's whoring out his underage girlfriend. OP, add an option for "pimp"
[citation needed]It's all over the forums. You know the whole Yoon something something thing.
Just shut up with your cheap slander. Matthew might be a scammer, but you are now ignored. With enemies like you, he'll get rid of the tag in no time.

My girlfriend actually does know Yoon, but that's a stretch to call her my girlfriend.
beside ruining his reputation by defaulting on a ridiculous bet...
has he done other scamy things?
has he done other scamy things?
Unfortunately, I have been a part of a couple "scammy things". My eagerness to work with people (anyone) without doing due diligence in the type of people I was working with has put me into more than a few situations that I still can't explain away. This community is pretty small though (think of it like a really small town). All it takes is one person seeing you with a girl late at night and now the whole town has made up a story that you probably have AIDs.
A man offering bets on the interwebz with no escrow.. I think someone needs to learn.. Did anyone learn ?
Look in the ASICs forum for your answer.
