I think that you did really harm some people with your actions. The internal strife that your bet created is terrible.

Wait wait wait, how is his dumb bet possibly worse than the scammers who actually STOLE money like Bitcoinica/Intersango, Pirate, and every other fake exchange "hack"?

I don't know, man. Lead salts in the water supply? I'm thinking of ditching this forum. Too many retards crying:

I seriously doubt johnthedong knew you were going to scam everyone beforehand.

Or any of the other 2 he mentioned...

I am inclined to agree with Memorydealers. Don't buy the "this was a prank from the start" line at all.
Just look at the chat between Memorydealers and Matthew above. It's very telling.

Guy is a sociopath and a piece of shit con-artist.

Yes. Especially after hearing the radio interview one thing is clear: he's a sociopath and is mentally incapable of sincerity or remorse.

Perhaps the sincerity I read is entirely fake. I now emphatically think Matthew should seek some professional psych ~~ological~~ iatric help.

FTFY.

Lol. Always the US' of A way! Want moral support and guidance? Go pay someone for it!

I say give the guy a break. People make mistakes, he underestimated people's stupidity, get over it.
Maybe the gamble-aholics who are baying for blood should take a look at themselves? If Matt is such a well-known prankster/troll/clown/whatever, what were you thinking engaging in a bet? Of course you were going to lose by not getting your free winnings.

I reckon MNW should stay if he wants to, the site feature of "scammer" tags is childish, and besides, if he's not here, who will educate the n00bs about the dangers of Nigerian scams?

Some things aren't Do It Yourself projects. Last I checked access to professional psychological help wasn't restricted to the "US' of A".

I know what he means though Americans are bent for it to the point were it makes the English cringe watching your TV or listening to you talk.

I feel like you're redirecting your anger toward rich people toward Americans. Take a deep breath.

I heard America was like a third world country in many places these days, perhaps I'm just ignorant and listen to jelous gossip.

That's my point.
Do you think the poor Americans are bent for therapy?

I can only comment from Americans I've met and what I've seen on TV, I'm sure there's two very different ends to the spectrum but It's certainly portrayed on TV like that plus American TV seems to be full of psychobabble.

This is a bit of an off topic rant so I'll keep it short but some examples: The newsroom a new HBO series (I switched off because of it), Breaking Bad, an assortment of trash day time TV such as Doctor Phil etc and on the same note isn't Oprah Winfrey basically a TV therapist and one of Americas most powerful and financially successful women?

Matthew,

As many disagreements as I may have had with you.

This only saddens me Sad

.

This all could have easily been prevented on so many levels..

All I can say is, I hope you learned something...

Also to the matter of sincerity, I find it interesting he chose to title this thread "Response" which he seems to have been compelled to make by others, as apposed to "An Apology" which would seem more appropriate.

Let's talk governance, lipstick, and pigs.

This fiasco will blow over and cooler heads will prevail. Matt will find green pastures in the Bitcoin realm when he learns that discretion is the better part of valor. Now can we end these threads and start paying more attention to Atlas again?

I for one was shocked to find a known internet troll chose not to pay nearly $1m in bets to strangers on the internet.

To be fair, when the bets started the maximum wasn't mentioned and I'd assumed he'd stop at a sensible amount - say 100btc.

Real people have lost money on this because after originally losing money on a ponzi scheme they hedged against it by betting with a known troll stranger on the internet. These people are not immature like Matthew, they just know a good deal when they see one!

He wasn't that known as an internet troll though, at least not to many around here. He used his former position as cofounder and CEO in some rather high-profile Bitcoin initiatives to give an impression of trustworthiness. This is why this particular scam is no joking matter.
