Stating the obvious: All those who lost money to this scam deserve it, they had it coming.
In fact, all those participating in ponzis (
WHICH ARE ALWAYS A SCAM BY VERY NATURE) are scammers themselves, as they are leading more naive/retarded/ignorant/malicious people to lose their money to the ponzi.
This is darwinism in its purest form. You are willingly participating in a ponzi scam, which make you a bunch of scammers as you want to profit from earlier investors money, and thus you deserve to be scammed and lose everything.
At least Maddoff wasn't a random nick on the internet connecting through Tor and registering its website through a proxy. You really need to explore a new level of retardness to "invest" in this stuff.
Cm on vort. Don't do this. Just return the funds. You've made over 10 btc already from fees!! You could keep it going dude.
See? This is what I'm talking about. Ponzis DO NOT WORK THAT WAY. Man up and take your losses.
Some real bulletproof logic and reasoning you've got going on here man, oh yes. No. Some people, unfortunately, a dwindling and rare breed, actually still place credence in the fact that all we've got in this life, particularly in an online setting, is our WORD. These rare few, albeit naive, are the ones who work to restore my faith in humanity every once in a rainbow moon.
Could believing a set-up such as these to have integrity be called ignorant? Sure, perhaps, but we're all ignorant to an extent and the ones who think they're so enlightened and seasoned are the most ignorant - by mfing default. If someone who didn't know of the mostly malicious intent of these site runners visited (pick your ponzi site) and saw that people were, indeed, being paid out - seemingly without falter or error - then decided to go ahead and make a deposit (forgetting that when something seems too good to be true, it generally is) the last thing I think they need is to be belittled and chastised because they're perpetuating a 'Darwinist' nature. Man up and take your losses? How about just learn from this mistake and never make it again. Honesty and integrity are both foreign concepts within this community, speaking in general.
In the interest of full disclosure, I lost .3btc to this guy, I made the decision to deposit based off having done it twice before without incident and because the developer wasn't hard to get a hold of and was in fact answering my PM's quite timely re-assuring me this is an isolated incident, referencing the times things went down without a skitch. I'm prepared to charge it to the crypto-game, because I know I always should be if I'm willing to partake in something I ultimately have no control over after those funds leave mine.
