Lauda did not in fact try to extort for money from what i read. There was never a mention of a monetary amount. So the above statement about this is false.
There is no "loophole" in the law, nor in the definition of extortion that says a specific amount needs to be requested.
If you seriously believe that Lauda did was not wrong, then you should have no problem consenting to other people making similar threats that Lauda made to Zeroaxl to you. If you are not willing to consent to others making these kinds of threats to you, then you know what Lauda did was wrong and are simply sticking up for him because he is your friend, because he is in power, or some other reason that has nothing to do with what is right or wrong.
As far as the "botched" escrow deal, thats incorrect as well and again another attempt at trying to destroy someones or multiple someones reps. The "escrow" portion of the deal was fine. Any money that actually went to the escrow address was held and secured. The problem was the interval between funds that went to the IPOs website from purchases to the escrow address.
I see the error in that and will not participate in a deal thats like that again. Obviously it left the door open to users money being taken.
These two statements contradict each other.
When others are using your escrow service, your number one priority is to keep your customers' money safe, which includes not allowing one trading party to have possession of the other party's money/property until the terms of the trade are met. In your case, you (and Lauda, and minerjones) failed to ensure that funds were kept secure, and allowed one party to potentially steal money, which ended up happening. Then to make matters worse, it was publicly said (by one of the escrows) that your customers were
not going to be made whole as a result of
your error (to use your own words).
I told I don't have an answer - not " I didn't want to repay it everything went wrong".
People need to have faith in you, first and foremost. Your answer should always be, yes I will cover any losses incurred with my escrow service. Any answer other than that and you shouldn't be running an escrow service, and that's the reason you got the reaction you've gotten.
Now I know it was my mistake , the thing that *I still didn't know* is : who did all this epic trolling.
It doesn't matter whose mistake it was, what matters is that it was your responsibility. Your first duty is to your customers, not finding out who made you look bad. Yeah you got trolled, but it's your (in)actions people have a problem with. The issue wasn't with the mistake, it was the way you handled it after the fact.
