1  Other / Off-topic / What comes to your mind when you see the username above you? on: July 25, 2014, 05:14:23 PM
It's easy, just state what comes to your mind when you think about the name of the person posting before you! How do you think he/she got that name? Is it a positive name or rather not? What would you like to talk about over a cup of coffee or a cold beer with that person?

So you can't sue him because you won't get any money, but he can't scam you because then you'll sue him? You're sort of proving my point. If he stops talking to you, you'll sue him, but you don't think suing him will get anywhere, so why should he do anything when he can just talk to you once a week and keep you happy?

My talking! I really think many of those people that got scammed don't actually do anything to get their money back. It may be because a lot of jursidictions still don't actually pursue legal actions against bitcoin thefts. Also many just don't expect to succeed and just give in - especially when there are a lot of people that got scammed for relatively small amounts each.

...As far as i see it i can sue ukyo anytime...

Until you can't anymore  Wink
Seriously, re-read and think about what you just wrote. You are basically rationalizing his actions. You want to see your coins and you don't want to be someone who 'fell for a scam'. Both things are totally understandable. But you should really ponder whether it is the wise way to keep on believing in him and potentially lie to yourself.
Thing is, I don't know what happened here, and if it really is a scam or not. But as of now I don't see any reason to believe him any more.

Is this still a thing? Haven't people accepted by now that Ukyo most probably is living the life on Cyprus together with Mr. Brewster and a cocktail in his hand?

You know... normal scammers vanish at some point. Ukyo is still available and speaking if you want. Check out IRC.

I've got to agree with Harmon, yeah it may be untypical, but have you considered that this is just part of the plan. It is used to let people keep their hopes up, let some of them even side with you. Some will even start to defend you. This is closely related to Stockholm Syndrome. It effectively decreases the number of people who will potentially try to use legal action. People aren't under the impression of having been scammed, so it is easier for them to just write it off as an accident.

That would be a giant step. Imagine holding such a big part in a world reserve currency! This would be unprecedented. Although I believe chances aren't that good.

Interesting to see that these prices are considered to be cheap, that over 800 shares may change hands. Bold bids!
