This forum is overrun with Ponzi schemes and the accompanying sycophants

is most likely a bot or fake. Every few hours or so I saw that guy depositting around $2000

Also how did they come up with the fact that they stole 70 BTC? If the deposit wallets are unknown?

I guess we can summarize and say that no one was really surprised.  I'm guessing that even the majority of "investors" realized that it was really more of a gamble than an investment.  I mean, if you gave the dude 1btc early on and cashed out with 1.3BTC after five days maybe you were happy and never went back.  On the other hand, maybe you were hooked and kept "reinvesting".  Anyway, I think there's really no news here, moving on ...
I agree. What the investers, err gamblers were doing at cryptominer was essentially betting when they would finally crash and burn, and run away with investor's money.

What the article describes them doing kind of reminds me of people taking out "confidence" loans on here in order to gain trust. People would take out loans for the sole purpose of "earning" trust only to eventually take out a very large loan and disappear.

I may write code in exchange for bitcoins.

You are not surprised because that is what ponzi's do. That was the endgame.

It was even mentioned in the article that cryptominer was offering 130% investment returns for only 5 days right before they ran away with their "investors" money.

Thats why im sticking with Primedice as long as I can, one of the few ways to go about making BTC. Hope no one lost a lot of money around here. I would have stick to their ad campaing as well. I would be butthurt if they didn't pay at the end of the term tho. The ones currently in the campaing will for sure not get paid after this.

Yeah dude, don't do the ones that claim to pay at the end of the month and stuff

I can't believe that people are so stupid. I cannot see any possible way that the returns cryptominer promised it's investors would have been sustainable.
