He can't be this dumb? The trust system is broken but this will do nothing to the profiles, since all those people leaving trust are not in the default or anyone's trust since most are new accounts. So basically just a lot of red which most people don't even read if they don't have a reason too.

His plan has obviously backfired for him and the participants looking at all the return reds they've received. The feedback system night not be perfect, but it's kinda coped well with the abuse here.

Even if someone actually wins the Monarch, he will have to wait 24 to 30 months to get the item shipped. Complete losers.

And they are asking to give negative trust ratings to admins of Bitcointalk, such as Theymos.

Sounds a little fishy and messy honestly.
He should have had the positive feedback posted to accounts other than his  own so it is less biased.
Obviously there is vested interest in getting the bribed positive votes for his  own accounts which ruins the impartial-ness of this "experiment".

As a first step admins must ban these accounts:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=8198
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=63314
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=44366

All these accounts are owned by the BFL support team.

As has been shown for over 2 years now. Theymos is complicit with the whole thing! Why is anyone surprised you sheeple!

You think anythings going happen with this law suit your even more of an idiot than josh! At least hell be well away before anyone realises the doors are locked!

I'd applaud josh and co for there great work but with the brain dead morons we produce today, its not even hard!

All aboard the LOL train
