This is why Satoshi can never reveal who he really is. As for LR I've never really trusted them, no auditing, run by shady potential russian mafia and of course centralized so all it takes is one arrest and the whole thing comes crashing down.
Bitcoin +1
True, but peoples and even companies were trusting LR because they were running site from a very long time,peoples moved thousand of dollars from here and there and no one got a single problem in past.
There was no chargeback, registration was easy, payments was anonymous and price was also stable that's why everyone adopted it fast.
One day same thing will happen with bitcoin too (US based companies, Online wallets will get seized) as most LR users (shady peoples)will move to bitcoin.
