Sounds like the majority now thinks that nefario was trying to scam from the start. Im still not convinced. I think he is stubborn and made many mistakes but to think that he would kill his little cashcow glbse only for such a small amount of usermoney doesnt get in my head. He could come with a way better idea than that. A project where way more money would have been collected. Or for glbse he could for example simulate that the server was hacked and all btc are gone. This way he would have hold a big part of his reputation.
And he started to communicate at least a small bit some days ago.
And like you say... there is no hint that its the assetdata that makes him so fearful. He probably wasnt threatened by fsa or similar.
FWIW, I don't think he was trying to scam from the start. I think he was incompetent from the start, and the effect of incompetence is to slowly build a gap between representation and reality. That gap requires servicing, which is a permanent draw on resources. Eventually that draw became too much and overwhelmed whatever glib Nefario had. It's how these things work, and it's why the incompetent should not be in charge of large projects: even if originally they may seem okay on the surface of things, that gap is there and is growing. Just look at shtylman.
You might be right but i wonder if others around him shouldnt see some signs of it before. So for example a change in behaviour or so.
On the other hand... if its really some kind of this and he took the brake by killing glbse than the chance that the asset infos are coming is higher. Because these infos wouldnt have a value for him otherwise and it wouldnt stand something against it to give the infos out. At least these infos are worth more than the users-money... at least for honest issuers.
If he claims that he couldnt get all the money back from double payment and the users that didnt pay back get a scammer tag or something and he still refuses to give out the asset infos i even would be ready to pay some btc into a collection pot to pay it to nefario so that he cant excuse it with "there is still money not paid back". Because i would gain more when i could have the asset infos. I would hate the guys holding the usermoney hostage and force me to pay and i would hope they suffer but at the end i need to see it as a invest-gain-thing without emotions.
I hope thats not needed at the end. And i wonder if nefario will write the next blogentry 7 days after his last one because he then has to be through the full list of double payments receivers.
