... Deserved to be scammed in my opinion ...
Your post, while equal to greykawk's in quality of contribution, is different in one important way: Yours is actually extraordinarily
harmful to the bitcoin community as a whole.
I've since learned that illWill, under a different username (but with the same email address), has scammed (at least) two other forum users prior to myself. Perhaps if these other users had created a detailed scammer-thread, I could have searched and discovered the connection. But
rather than elicit responses such as yours, they instead slink away from the community (and bitcoin itself) subsequently writing it off as a cesspool of fraud, and won't hesitate (in the real world) to warn others away from bitcoin.
My skin is thick, however, and the relatively small amount that illWill worked his many months to claim as his ill-gotten prize pales in comparison to the returns I've enjoyed by trusting those that warrant trust.
None the less, the end result is the same: Your ignore indicator is now a bit more yellow than it was this morning.
