Topic: What happened to mtrlt? Did he just scam us of 75 BTC? - page 6. (Read 6024 times)
Maybe his account got hacked and it wasn't the real mtrlt.
Good question. The same situation applies to the BitSpend situation. It's perfectly possible the for a scammer to not think things through, or maybe a scammer would want quick, easy money. Who knows.
As some of you may know, mtrlt stepped up to make a GPU miner for PrimeCoin by creating a thread announcing that he will work on a GPU miner, in which he put a "Donation address" "that will also get you early private beta access to the miner". [1][4]
It has now been one month and three days since he created the thread [1], he has 75 of our BTC[2], and his last update of any sort was given out on August 14, 2013, 07:10:25 PM, Six days, and 20 hours ago. [3]
We still have no GPU Miner.[1] We might have been BFL'd. [No citation needed]
Since he was accepting "Donations", it means that he technically CAN legally run away with the BTC, AND the GPU miner and we would have absolutely nothing to prosecute him in court with. Although I am doubtful he will do this. It is possible that he is mining with his GPU miner for a long while, stashing large amounts of coins to then dump, and THEN maybe release the GPU miner. It is also possible that he had a heart attack and died mysteriously. Or maybe there never existed a GPU miner to begin with?
I place no opinion on this subject. Just being objective here. I am just making this information clearly available and understandable to the public.

Why would he scam people and ruin his ability to potentially make millions of dollars to make a few thousand?
