bitponzi.io has a trust rating of 10: -0 / +1 yet he is a scammer:
fkin shut down!!! Sent 4 BTC in all, only got 1.8 back?!
What did you expect from a ponzi? All ponzi are guaranteed to be a scam, sooner or later.
They seem to have stolen at least .1 BTC from their players using 1290db3346ae15108d253fad749dae79dcd62d9975da0e01d867346342620c1c possibly to either bitstamp or another service that has been around since at least 2011.
I also think most ponzi's are regarded to be generally untrustworthy, but it is unclear why this is different.
Here is the entire thread for the scam.
Screenshot of their trust:
Is it common to see someone have positive trust who is running a ponzi and who has scammed like this?
Is this some kind of undisclosed flaw in the trust system? If so is there any kind of bug bounty for reporting bugs in the trust system?
