To all the people taking joy in this, you have severe personality defects that will negatively affect you throughout your lives. You don't need to express glee in this, the proper response might be:
Sorry this had to happen, I think there is a lesson in this and I hope most people will remember this next time.
I believe the correct reply would be, fuck you and your continued encouragement for people to keep 'investing' in this scam. Now is not the time for you to be complaining about anything any of us 'Fudders' have to say about the fact that, not only did we 'tell you so', we did it repeatedly to choruses of vitriolic hate and spite being thrown in our faces by shills and fanboys.
Marcelo is going to need to self-mine for a day or two, possibly a few days to recover enough of his funds to support himself, his crew, and pending withdrawals once he brings it all back.
Self mine? With what? It has been proven mathematically that these 'KHS' things don't actually relate to any real mining and that there is no way for his claimed 850GH/s to exist within the known Scrypt networks.
Have to say I agree here. It's blatantly obvious to anyone who looks at the facts surrounding this entire venture that it's based on a lie. While I might personally believe it is a ponzi, the only thing I can prove is that no mining is taking place. Add in a few other things like the 5% referral earnings bonus, lack of stats, and lack of support, it's probably a ponzi.
As far as taking joy in people who lost money... people who overlooked the facts and didn't question this too-good-to-be-true system put profit above everything else. That's some morally questionable territory. And maybe it's ok to be a little happy that people who fund scams get what they deserve in the end. Shit like Scrypt.cc, LTCGear, GawMiners, etc. make the Bitcoin community look terrible and if it takes a hard lesson like this for people to learn to stay away from scam investment sites, I'm fine with it.
alienesb, one could easily argue that it takes a severe personality defect to invest in what's most likely a ponzi with your only intent being profit, knowing that any profit will come at someone else's expense. Anyone who finds joy or humor in how this is unfolding isn't the issue. The people who continue to fund scams like this are the underlying cause for sure.
