Title: Mtgox BTC giveaway is it real?
Post by: Soullessz on March 10, 2014, 01:55:31 PM
Hey guys I have been browsing over the bitcoin section of reddit, looking for ideal altcoins to invest in, anyway I came across this

http://redd.it/201mf9

They say they have some of the mtgox coins taken from the hackers and are going to raffle it off. To 10 people, is it possible they actually have the coins? Are they going to keep the raffle going till all the  mtgox coins are gone out is this all they have?
Or is this just a scam?
Any advice would be good cause I'm kinda thinking about buying in cause it would be nice to win lol.
Thanks

The classic "Send me money and I'll send you more money" is always a scam.

Obvious scam, but even if it were real, supporting theft isn't cool.

I'd say it is not real mainly because last I've heard MTGOX is bankrupt and owes alot of people money which they most likely will never see

If you do decide to try it out please post your findings here for the rest of us to see what ended up happening please and thanks!

Hi and welcome. Also, sorry for your future loss of investment money.

But seriously. Until you can fully explain Satoshi's white paper follow these principals.
DO NOT buy anything except bitcoin at full market price. Do not buy shares, or alt-coins, don't participate in schemes to double your coins or believe in a promise of big earnings. These things are diversions and are almost always scams.
