Why is this thread dying did ppl just gave up their money?
here are a couple reasons:
1) the badguy is caught and now in the hands of the justice system
2) its highly unlikely that anyone will see any money back, far less likely that a substantive number will get anything meaningful like 25% of their funds
3) too many people forgive and forget far too fast
4) that's old money, they are chasing new money be it here or elsewhere
and
5) many people just had enough, enough of the scams, enough of the losses, and enough of the wickedness ... many left crypto, not stricktly because of this but for many this was just the last straw.
Look, BTC was twice as high as it is now when this occurred even if they got all of their money back it would be worth half as it was when you lost it.
The guy lucked out because if someone killed him earlier on the whole CC industry would be far more improved because at that to point some operators would know that you can't just ripoff people wholesale and expect to get away with it like what occurred in the past. but nope, same old, same old ...
if anyone should be killed for scamming its got to be karpeles first
if he gets away scott free with almost a billion dollar crime then what this mintpal asshole did looks like nothing .........
edit: who says hes already in the justice system ? where and when was he arrested and what exactly were the charges ?
(in the uk a 5 million dollar hacker arrested will always make the newspapers and i havent seen it yet )
