I'm hard pressed to think he is legit given all his time spent on responding to comments that are irrelevant to his "investigation". Anyone who takes on such a task would be hard pressed for time and would not dabble in such nonsense at any level.

Maybe add an option for other/don't care.  That's my vote.

I fail to see what he would be scamming people out of..

If he's legit, that's cool. If he's not, who cares? He's not hurting anyone.

Move to meta or somewhere else, please!  :-[

Did he ask for money? No. Did he steal anything? No.

Just to help you clear your mind:

All these immediate accusations of SCAMMER! just hurt bitcoin as a whole.

He's not getting or asking for any money from anyone.  How can he be a scammer?

This
I just don't get it ???

He actually was asking for money to fund his investigation.

The money that he requested to fund his investigation and other activities? Their personal details? Their time and attention? He kinda derailed any community attempt to deal with MyBitcoin and figure out what happened, not that there was anything much that could be done anyway.

I don't care!!

But if you think that he is a scammer, prove it.

I hope y'all realize that he did have a tag of "scammer" here given to him by the admin/moderators when he refused to pay 1 BTC for artwork he commissioned from another forum member when he went by the name of Bitmole. There is a repeating pattern with this guy of excuses, apologies and claims of ignorance for the actions he takes. Doesn't matter whether it  was in bitmole days or his Matthew N. Wright days.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=28004.0  Some examples of his more classy conversations.

He doesn't seem malicious to me, but I wouldn't trust him with my time or money because from what I've read he's a tool.

He's a fucking scammer plain and simple. This fucker should be banned!

Seriously, this again?  The guys not a scammer, stop this crap already.

Honest question.  Is there more mature bitcoin discussion forum that I'm missing somewhere else?

e.g., mtgox and tradehill discussing the future of exchanges
e.g., bitcoin business try to streamline payment processes.
e.g., a guy tries to help the community with a bitcoin business association...

Or do we just need more power tripping mods to clean this kind of crap out?

+1 And all this thread is a defamation

Still can't decide if he is a scammer, but it's worth reading, thanks

This from the "Nigger Nigger" poster.  ::)

+1 and yes it is a defamation.

People here too often think that if they don't understand/disagree with something, it's a norm to call them either scammer or troll.
My guess to his motive is that since he's creating a bitcoin business/association, he will need to build good reputation by doing the community a good favor by help resolving this Mybitcoin debacle.

Now, when most people who doesn't read every single thread about this Matthew guy - just briefly surfing the board - will simply associate him with fraud. Thanks you people like you.

Isn't he FooDSt4mP? Maybe not but I got that feeling reading the posts about 'investigations' :D

your poll is missing an option: I dunno.

He hasn't scammed anyone out of anything so far. But what does concern me is that he did say he had "14" companys on the go, Also wants to hire a privaate investigator without any donations from the community. I dont see how this is possiable and dubt that it would be done, He also stated there are 4 other people working with him on this UABB thin, Once again have yet to see anyone step and say they work with him. Conclusion for he is a little demented and want to be a apart of everything but really is apart of nothing. He did say he was thinking of giving up the investigation due to failing to get info. I think we have an attention seeker on hands, But not a scammer.

If you *donate* money, it is not really a scam. Whether he decides to put the money towards an investigation or buy porn memberships is up to him if you give him your money. Sure, it's not ethical to ask for donations for one thing and then turn around and spend it on something else, but it's not like he's asking for your credit card info.

Personal details? People give out their personal details every day. Ever heard of facebook?

Time and attention? Can't remember the last time I heard someone claiming that someone scammed them for their time and attention, but ok.

Regardless of whether or not he's attempting to investigate the matters of what happened with mybitcoin, it's not stopping you or anyone else from getting an investigation of your own off the ground.

not another scammer. just another overeager young'n that think they can build the next 8 bitcoin opportunities in a couple weeks.

CAN SOME ONE TELL ME HOW THIS IS EXACTLY NOT LIKE THE THREAD I FIRST STARTED THIS MORNING?

How many more UABB threads do we need? OR POLLS? Is the game plan to have Matthew commenting on threads-to-threads like a chicken with his head cut off, to keep him from developing a Bitcoin related service--good, bad or indifferent?
