You guys are a bunch of cynics.
Obviously I have no idea if this person was legit. In any case his attempt at getting someone from the forum to help him was a bad idea. He should have simply contacted a family member in europe or something.
But finally, his scheme was actually quite valid. Since the opportunity no longer exists I can tell you that.
My uncle did this and made a few thousand dollars with no effort. There was a solid 300 dollars per coin price difference. So you buy 10 bitcoins from bitstamp sell them at this website and you make 3 thousand dollars. No joke.
I am not telling you that you should have done it. Probably you shouldn't have, since he has no trust rating, whatsoever. But it is still rather pathetic that you make fun of the guy, while his scheme was actually valid.
Proving my point means more to me than getting the actual lone.
Man there was so much money in this, to bad it cant no longer be done
