I disagree - theft (even if you disguise it as a breakin at your service) just puts a blackmark on your reputation and thus limits future legit income.
So apart from the obvious ethics issues (which I hope I don't need to spell out), theft is actually not that profitable.

Wow, it's just like in real life! With dollars and euros... i'm sure that now that's cleared up, bitcoin will flourish!

What is the scam exactly ? I never encountered any ? maybe because I am not greedy ?

It is a shame. But it is also part of the learning process that all economies must go through in order to discover the true rate of growth. With Bitcoin, this will be especially difficult due to a number of unique factors. Many of the scams we have seen so far have been shocking. And it is shocking that people keep falling for them. But the important thing is that the economy keeps growing regardless.
In fact, one of the unique reasons for so many scams is something that I've been saying for a while, that Bitcoin needs to develop local economies in order to really flourish. It's much more difficult to steal from customers who know where you live.

what a shame...
as a friend and me decided to offer a new bitcoin service: should we steal the coins?
seems to be more profitable: and i am not able to see any risks.
(btw: no we won't do that. we'll just make sure its impossible to steal us a huge amount. but damn morality... if you would shut up i'll be rich!)

Don't loose faith though. There are many good people in this community who believe in this project and what it truly stands for.
