Why are people acting like it was painful obvious that vircurex was a problem? I didn't find it. I was able to dodge Mt.Gox but vircurex' fractional reserve isn't easy to find unless you're active on the forms around the time it happened, the news reports make it sound like they covered the losses. How was I suppose to know about these investor reports? Never turned up on any searches I made.
Welcome to the search function on each page of this forum (upper right hand corner).
Search vircurex and look through posts and you will find information. Of course if you are lazy then you wont find it.
It is all in the due diligence effort that nets you safety, knowledge, and wisdom.
Don't be lazy.
The search function on this site is crap, I have to use google with "site:bitcointalk.org". Had I come across the fractional reserve I would have chosen a different site. Obviously with hindsight I can see my due diligence wasn't sufficient but don't pretend like any idiot would have figured it out with an hour of research into the different altcoin exchanges. Stop playing the "suckers are idiots and therefore deserve it" card, it's like you are trying to justify the fraud. If it bugs you that people are upset for being intentionally misled, then don't come to this section of the form, we don't care to hear it and you're not helping anyone by mocking us.
