Need to cash out some Mail-to-Jail.com donations to fund someone's commissary account in jail. Willing to trade @ current Mt.Gox ask quote.
I load the code before you get your Bitcoins and I'm not fucking around with escrow. I have several trade references.

PM me if interested. Don't give me no escrow bullshit on such a small amount.

Hmm, that's interesting. I tried to set up a withdrawal via Dwolla this afternoon (yes, I've done this before), and the screen where the regular Yubikey/Account/Amount fields were replaced with some new "add withdrawal method" feature that supposedly keeps your account data on file. It said that "verification" would take awhile, but didn't state a time period...nor could I find any information on this new "feature" or how long it might take.   |

Well, due to the current state of world government affairs anyway...
I cannot think of a viable situation that would pay a retarded amount of interest that someone would accept BTC for that wasn't illegal in some way. Either through selling illegal merchandise, services, evading taxation and regulation (hello SEC), or straight up fraud (Ponzi scheme or some kind of scam run by the operator in the outside world). So the person/entity operating the HYIP has every reason to be anonymous. Now, you can be anonymous too so that you reduce your exposure to any possible legal consequences...but then this just encourages the operator to run off with your money at some point.
And to even possibly work, the amount of BTC you invest *must* be converted into the equivalent amount of fiat with interest payments being made in that denomination. Basing your interest payments in BTC has a high likely of eventually fucking you over due to market fluctuations.
So far, I have only seen anonymous operators taking in and paying out in BTC from anonymous people.
I hate government...but you're probably making a bad decision if the operator doesn't share their identity, doesn't tell you how they make their money, and has no evidence of being licensed and filing taxes.
tl;dr: If you keep thinking with the greedy part of your brain, you're going to get hurt.

Would this be the appropriate place to discuss such things? Would "Marketplace" be better? Should there be a sticky so we can refuse to deal with people others have had issues with?

If it didn't start out in a fraudulent manner, then is it possible it ended up being one because he was no longer able to manipulate the market to pay everyone back in BTC bought back at a lower price?
I know that BTC is a currency in it's own right, but it's still largely tied to an exchange rate. I'm not sure it's smart at this point for anyone to pay or earn interest in BTC. I know if I asked or gave someone a BTC loan, I'd tie it to the amount in USD.

Tax evasion and money laundering? Government will pay back depositors if they provide their tax information?
Just a thought I had. Would be a convenient excuse and scare people off from trying to claim their money back.

It would be pretty easy to get people's funds and hopes tied up in this ASIC. Keeps them from investing in their current product or GPU-based rigs based on the fear of it's imminent release. Make inflated claims of gigahashes, get everyone hooked and jonesing for one.
I think the reality is that they needed the money to make a giant production run of their FPGA based stuff so their cost would be very low for themselves. They, of course, are going to use them to mine their own coins. If you think about it, it would have been much more smarter and profitable for them to keep their currently shipping products a secret and let the dough roll in. But they didn't have the cash to do it. Deliver a few of the current units to people who purchased them to seem like you might actually deliver this new thing.
Keep people in a holding pattern for a year or so awaiting this vaporware product, then just refund them and dissolve the corporation. Meanwhile, you had the most powerful mining rig on the planet. Then you retire...
