I don't think pirate was very clever. Just that his investors were not.

I can't f*cking believe there are still new and new people falling for shit schemes.
For f*cks sake people, do we really live in a society of brainless people? Its been XY'th time already!
I wonder how many more ways of so called "HYIP" ideas can idiots come up with, for which the general population will have the opportunity to fall for...

Lets just say, good job Pirate!!!! Although you're a fag and, I can't possibly say that I admire what you did, because it kinda adds to BitCoin's already not too shiny public image, I do indeed share your view on the prospect of "lesser's" exploitation. Natural selection v2 haha.

Pure lol...this whole debacle....
