First, the contract between Matthewh3 and me is written down publicly and recorded by this forum's PM system. It is not a verbal contract! It is a written contract!
Second, the point is "contract". It is a contract. Any breaking is unacceptable.
I understand that he gave you his word. However, this isn't really a contract. Although I am lax to bring up other scam accusation threads specifically, it is common practice that without an "actual contract", one's word -- even when several witnesses can come forward -- is just not good enough. Now, I'm not a moderator so I can't say for sure, but that is what I have seen several times in the past. Ok, so he broke his word and he is slime. He is a dink. But he did not "break a contract" in that sense of the word.
The issue of whether or not he has a scammer tag, on this point, would still be open. If he led you to believe that he was going to give or assign value to you even without a contract, and you confirmed this with him, then he defrauded you. To this three comments stand out to me in particular
1. "first come first serve"
2. "OK you are first on the list." and
3. "We just have to wait until I receive the records from the GLBSE then confirm your associated email then'll we'll send the BTC28.7 to the bitcoin wallet address associated with your GLBSE RSM claim."
Because of point 3, now that it is proven he has the lists, if he does not now give you the 28.7 BTC he has broken his word.
I believe based on that that you have a case.
So, what I would like to see -- as a community member -- is that Matthew makes an arrangement with you to guarantee the payment of the 28.7 BTC either immediately or by a certain date (not exceeding 60 days) with an interest payment made to you, or that you agree to a payment plan with him. If he cannot do this (I.E. if he cannot appease you) then we have to admit it, he broke his word... sure, why not give him a scammer tag. The key here is I really would like to see Matthew given a "remedy" -- give him the chance to cut a deal with you. Please do not be heartless, that is all I am saying. Matthew has an excellent track record doesn't he? Maybe we should give him another chance to make this right?
First, buying back the share and waiting for the BFL equipment is two independent thing, and how you and matthewh can mix these two things togher is puzzling me. Additionally, Matthewh is controlling RSM, and he knows more than anyone else. If he think he cannot do that, then he should not make RSM offer buying back at the very beginning.
Ok, you're right -- I misunderstood. What you have said is very convincing. I agree.
Conclusion: The contract between RSM and me is very simple and clear. Matthew is the one who made RSM into signing the contract with me. Matthewh broke the contract. He should be tagged as scammer.
This makes me sad to say it but I agree. But as a community member please give him a chance to make this right. Can we wait until Matthew makes a response (or seven days) before he is tagged?
