Topic: Post the BIGGEST SCAM in bitcoin history according to you - page 2. (Read 1367 times)
What about TradeFortress (I think that was his name at least). Probably not the largest scam in terms of BTC stolen, but I remember the event taking place right when I joined the community. TF was a hugely respected member, and the scam came completely out of nowhere. Seemed like a huge shock at the time to the community that someone with so much respect and trust would do such a thing.
It is really difficult to say, I arguably think that the MT.GOX incident was the biggest scam that happened to bitcoin. Many people lost thousands of bitcoin and it damaged the reputation of bitcoin itself.
Pretty sure its factually MtGox? But personally i would say PayCoin for how long they/he managed to control all those people by the nose, that continued giving him money over and over and over until he was long gone on some nice tropical island sipping his martini. (Biased as hell)
