Where has anything even remotely resembling a business plan been posted by the OP?  And why is the OP so intent on borrowing BTC when he could easily purchase the required BTC if he secured fiat funding?

It's people's desperation for certain services which makes it easy for scammers to proliferate.  The lack of options for people in the UK to trade GBP for BTC means that people are likely to latch onto the first service which pops up offering that.  The point of BitInstant is to get people's fund moved quickly.  If there are no exchanges offering GBP/BTC trades then such a service would be pointless and the OP is effectively talking about becoming an OTC Bitcoin trader in his own right.

The funds which nefario has been returning to users are supposed to be user funds held by GLBSE, not funds held by the asset issuers.  None of the shareholders have suggested that GLBSE didn't have all the user funds it should have.  At the time GLBSE was closed the shareholders believed that GLBSE had user funds on hand plus some reserves of its own.  To the extent that there's a short-fall, it seem to have been caused only by nefario's overpayment of some people and if the majority of those coins have been recovered there is no reason whatsoever to delay resuming repayments.  There has never been a good reason to delay releasing the information needed for asset issuers and their users to communicate with each other until after the repayment process was completed.

A series of bad ideas becomes indistinguishable from scamming when you're literally announcing publicly that everything you're doing is legally fine and that representation is based on absolutely nothing because you haven't even bothered to seek legal advice before making publicly making that assurance.  Refusing to hand over the information needed for users and asset issuers to communicate with one another is just grand-standing and the delay in handing it over may even render that information useless.  nefario is absolutely responsible for the consequences of that decision.

People aren't going to try to sue nefario.  What they're far more likely to do if he continues to piss them off with his "fuck you" attitude is draw his activities to the attention of the very authorities he was hoping to avoid getting scrutiny from. 

I think James should stop using any remaining unreturned funds as an excuse for not putting asset-issuers and their users in contact with one another.  until he does that, he has no credibility whatsoever.  He's hardly in a position to take the moral high ground over unreturned funds when he's the one who is holding information which has nothing to do with his overpayment fuck-up hostage.

And if 3/4 of the overpayments have been returned then GLBSE should now have sufficient funds to make the remaining payments - they can do it out of the already returned overpayments and their own reserves.  James is the one trying to pressure people, not the reverse..  He is the one who loses if those funds aren't returned because there'll be no funds left to pay his salary/lawyer/weed bill/whatever.  He's acting out of pure self-interest here.

Naming and shaming people who haven't returned over-payments doesn't prove that they are holding the money of other users.  Nefario could only prove that by giving a complete financial accounting of BTC on hand and amounts still owed to users and I doubt there's anyone here who would trust any numbers he published because there's absolutely no way to verify them - he's not even letting the other shareholders verify what he's doing and could be paying his friends triple what they're owed for all you know.

All Nefario's SuperSekrit Stalled Until Further Notice repayment plan is likely to do is piss people off enough that they'll rain down upon him the very kind of legal problems he hoped to avoid by closing down GLBSE in the first place.

Probably where he buried the last person who showed up chasing him for money.

Can we also give people who do this a "flounce" tag?

Remove the stores link if you don't have stores.  Remove all of the links which aren't going to lead to meaningful content.  If links are on your site, people will click them.  If they lead somewhere which is obviously still under construction - or even worse, showing raw code - it is going to affect their opinion of your business.

Weird.  I do get warnings with some sites that form data will need to be re-sent and others (like my bank and some government websites) won't let me use the back button at all, but I assumed that must be server side because it only happens with some HTTPS sites. 

When you say "form data" are you talking about the content of posts and PMs?  I use Chrome and I've never had a problem with losing content if I hit the back button.

And here we are in Off-topic while dank's music festival thread remains in Long term Offers.   

Are you admitting that you lied when you said that you'd abandoned DankGlass and that someone paid you to use the logo?  That would bring bad karma, dank.

The thing is that anyone competent would know that.  The fact that BTC-e support is accusing MtGox of organising a DDOS against them rather than assuming that it's just a script kiddie using the MtGox address for shit and giggles makes me question the technical knowledge and competence of BTC-e staff.

You need to fix up your website.  The "page not available" errors are annoying enough but it gets worse.

The word you're looking for is than.  The sentence as written doesn't make sense anyway. 

That's one hell of an accusation to make without evidence, and making it without proving it can only damage BTC-e's reputation.

Explain yourself BTC-e support.

There's no reason not to add Bitcoin as a payment option.  The market's obviously a niche one and wouldn't work as a Bitcoin only enterprise, but it's not as though adding Bitcoin as a payment option is going to be difficult or expensive, so why not?  Establishing a stable supply of quality products is going to be more important to your success than whether or not you accept Bitcoin.

I've found a business partner for you dank.

I suspect that logansryche and dank in combination would cause a serious disturbance in The Force.

Good to see you back logansryche.

It's not "theft".  The local police would be more than happy to tell you that non-payment for goods/services is a civil issue and that you need to pursue payment through small claims.  Even if it was a criminal issue, the complaint would have to come from the aggrieved party or their legal representative - the police would need to take the details from you.

Lightning Ridge is a small place, but it has a very transient population.  You'd be able to locate him if he's still there but it's not the kind of place where the locals are going to give a shit that someone didn't pay for something and it's the kind of place where confrontation with a local can quickly turn ugly.

I'm pretty sure there was another user here who was doing a similar thing with paper clips instead of pennies and they got shut down by PayPal too.

I don't think most people care about Goat.  What they want to know is whether there's some new, unwritten rule we all need to avoid breaking.
