Donald Trump should be ashamed of letting that guy into his administration who brags about drinking alcohol with his anus, when his own brother dies from alcoholism.

It is illegal to use taxpayer money to bribe a foreign government to try helping you in an election. Furthermore, it is embarrassing an act of desperation. This act alone is impeachable, and there are many other acts which only fuel the fire. Republicans have no excuse but to work with Democrats to impeach that guy for using taxpayer money to his own personal benefit.

Ukraine didn't even know the funds were on hold when the call was made. Even if you believe the quid pro quo was implied, how does that work if there was no evident penalty or gain? Lets assume for a moment Biden is guilty of the crimes he is accused of. Exactly how should Trump have asked for a legitimate investigation? Impeached for asking corruption be investigated? What "other acts?" Exactly how is he using taxpayer money and gaining personally and Biden not?

No one has to give a fuck about your opinion.
You are absolutely right. Even though we might have different opinions on that particular subject I think we can both agree we wouldn't want to see a 'This Domain Has Been Seized' notification with an FBI logo in the background.

I assure you "the wrong kind of prying eyes" have plenty of other more interesting stuff to look at around here.
Not sure if they wouldn't be interested in weapons and marijuana sellers/buyers as well and the origin of them.

If that was a possibility I assure you Theymos would be all over it. I don't know where you are from, but it is obviously not the US. Here anyone over 18 can buy tazers in a gas station with a drivers license (just to check age) in most states. Americans can legally own firearms that are capable of exploding an engine block from 2 miles away. I assure you tazers are not even a blip on the LEO's radar.

The video's been out for a while though, and nobody cared about it before this whole Trump Ukraine phone call stuff came to light. I could be mistaken but it sounds like part of the condition for release of the loan was that they fire this particular prosecutor guy. We don't know if it had anything to do with Biden's son -- asserting that it did (at this phase) is pure conjecture. What we do know for sure is that Trump asked a foreign leader for the favor of digging up dirt on a political opponent.

I suppose one good thing that happened is the whole affair shed light on how rampant political cronyism and nepotism is... Seems like Hunter Biden had no qualifications to have his particular job there whatsoever, and that he was just there because his last name is "Biden." Still not a crime, but it is the most unattractive thing about Biden in my eyes thus far (other than him already being pretty milquetoast and uninspiring as a politician).

People certainly did care. Unfortunately the media as well as the top levels of government were so corrupt that even if some one did try to bring attention to it, they would have accidentally choked on a handful of bullets.  The US intelligence agencies had just got done orchestrating a coup in Ukraine, I wonder why that would make the locals weary of bringing prosecution after all of that bloodshed? Of course Trump trying to enforce the law, looking into high level corruption is suspect, but anything about Biden, now well that is pure conjecture!


What does this sound like to you?

https://i.imgur.com/vs9rAv2.png

He's looking for information that will put Biden in a good light?

No. He says "It sounds horrible to me."

Regardless, why is he talking to him about Giuliani? Isn't Giuliani supposed to be Trumps "personal" lawyer? If he really was looking into corruption from a standpoint of national interest, why insist that your personal lawyer meet with the president of a foreign nation?

The whole thing is absurd. Trump is screwed. This is the turd that broke the camel's back. It turns out the camel couldn't carry an infinite amount of turds.

There is no way that anything negative can be constructed from the conversation of Trump in question.

You're entitled to your opinion, as I am mine. At the end of the day, they are only that: opinions.

It sounds to me like he is a president doing his job going after high level corruption of government officials selling influence. This is something that not only is a well known pattern of behavior with Biden, but Obama, as well as the Clintons and others going back as long as they have had influence to sell. He is using Giulian because he has not only been around long enough to know all the dirt and how this mafia operates, but he is some one he has a personal relationship with and can trust. When trying to bust up an international criminal cartel within the highest levels of government within the most powerful nation in the world, that is important.

Trump is in a great position, and he is looking better every day. The only people who think he is screwed let Rachel Maddow do their thinking for them.




That's correct but I don't understand why Giuliani is involved at all... If you're doing something for the sake of national interest, why involve your personal lawyer? Obviously Giuliani was previously talking to the Ukraine president... why? Just doesn't make sense to me...

Well shit, Nutillduhh doesn't understand, obviously there is no good reason then!

What evidence do you have that they are related to the conduct of Biden's son? It would appear that the investigation started prior to Hunter Biden's involvement with Burisma.

Quote
The National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) said an investigation was ongoing into permits granted by officials at the Ministry of Ecology for the use of natural resources to a string of companies managed by Burisma.

But it said the period under investigation was 2010-2012, and noted that this was before the company hired Hunter Biden.

“Changes to the board of Burisma Limited, which are currently the object of international attention, took place only in May 2014, and therefore are not and never were the subject of (the anti-corruption bureau’s) investigation,” the bureau’s statement said.

Hunter Biden was a director on Burisma’s board from 2014-2018, according to documents filed by the company in Cyprus, where it is registered.

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-whistleblower-ukraine-buris/ukraine-agency-says-allegations-against-burisma-cover-period-before-biden-joined-idUSKBN1WC1LV

Actually, this is a great article that tackles the other side, but the author concludes that it requires a much deeper investigation into the matter before any conclusions can be drawn:

Quote
Today, two questions remain.

One is whether it was ethically improper or even illegal for Biden to intervene to fire the prosecutor handling Burisma’s case, given his son’s interests. That is one that requires more investigation and the expertise of lawyers.

The second is whether Biden has given the American people an honest accounting of what happened. The new documents I obtained raise serious doubts about his story’s credibility. And that’s an issue that needs to be resolved by voters.

What evidence do you have Trump was doing anything improper? He asked for an actual investigation into high level corruption that is of international significance. Clearly he is guilty! You know what that call was about, that was Trump essentially saying to the Ukraine president:

"Look I know our nation has been corrupt as fuck and has really harmed your nation, but I am not with those guys. Go ahead and do a legitimate investigation and I will make sure there aren't consequences like the last time you tried to do this."

Interesting we shouldn't jump to conclusions about Biden, but clearly based on nothing Trump is fucked!  You keep bringing up the timeline as if it is evidence in favor of Biden's innocence, it is not. Let me lay out the order of events for you.

A very corrupt company exists in Ukraine. The government is breathing down their necks. In walks Biden who offers to fix their problem for them. Biden's son gets some down payment money for the influence peddling. Joe gets the investigation shut down by demanding the canning of the lead prosecutor of the case. In exchange his son is placed in a very lucrative position on its board, a position for which ha has zero qualifications for.

Hunter is not even qualified to work at McDonald's let alone on a Ukrainian energy firm's board. He literally wouldn't be able to get a job at McDonald's with his drug record. The only significant thing about him is the influence his daddy is peddling. All the elements of a rock solid criminal prosecution are evident. Means, motive, and opportunity.
3387  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Democratic Donor Ed Buck Charged After Another Overdose on: September 28, 2019, 04:25:38 PM
It was private. Government doesn't really have any authority if it was an accidental overdose... even if it happens a million times. Government is trespassing if they continue to call his private property - his house - drug house. Government needs to prove foul play. Using drugs on your own private property isn't illegal, even though government might say that it is.

What? Do you feel so sad for the joker who couldn't control what he was doing so that he died? Anybody who does drugs knows that it can be dangerous. Riding bicycle can be dangerous. Climbing mountains can be dangers. Just driving a car is dangerous if you consider all the people who are killed in car accidents.

Leave the private people alone once you find out that there was no foul play.

Cool

This guy is a sick fetishist well known by local prostitutes to try to forcibly inject and murder people. I am all for people having the freedom to kill themselves in any way they choose, but this guy gets off murdering disadvantaged men and making it look like an accidental OD. This is absolutely  case where government should be involved, and they should have been a long time ago.
3388  Economy / Reputation / Re: Flag - "CryptoSparks" on: September 28, 2019, 10:17:00 AM
No, its evidence that anyone dealing with you as at high risk of losing money.

If this is your arbitrary standard, then you best get to work tagging every single gambling, betting, casino,and ponzi among others. Of course you don't do that you just arbitrarily pick people to enforce these subjective standards upon. The flags are there to help prevent fraud, not to prevent people from taking risks.


what guarantees you want in trading other than a long term backtested strategy with safe money management? 500% in 20 months is safe and slow.

No, its not. And you have no proof of this. Your "backtest data" is garbage as far as the real world is concerned.

What guarantees you will wake up tomorrow? Again, you are enforcing a standard of guilty until proven innocent. If people want to trust random people on the internet to trade for them that is their prerogative regardless of how unappealing you personally find the offer.


I understand you think everybody should take your word as 100% true.

But everyone should trust your assumptions as being 100% true?


Again, I understand you think everybody should be taking your word at face value, which is hard to do given that you have a propensity to lie and exaggerate.

He is at least presenting SOME evidence to support his position, you on the other hand are exaggerating and lying in order to justify your arbitrary inquisitions.


OMG. You are unable to admit your record has losing trades, despite the evidence being clearly there.

Now every single trade needs to be a winner in order for this bot to be profitable? Have you ever even traded manually let alone using a bot?

If its a "winning trade" then why does it yield a negative return?

Are you sure you are not reading the log in reverse?


There's a clear difference between "a profit" and "constant profits." You don't even know that you can generate constant profits. Whatever works for you this month might not even work the next. Like I told you, you can point to your backtest data all you want and people can decide for themselves if they want to trust your word or not. Regardless, it comes down to a matter of trust, and absolutely nothing more.

This same standard could literally be applied to literally any tradings service. If people can decide for themselves who the fuck are you running around trying to tell people they shouldn't trade with him by plastering his reputation with arbitrary tags?

Successful traders don't use bots. The best way to become a successful trader is, doing less trades.

The less you trade,  the more successful you become.

That's why, the best traders are who do zero trades, hodlers.


Again, clearly not the same thing as saying "impossible."

Thanks for proving you are a moron with no trading experience mindrust. Maybe leave the criticism to people who have experience with what they are talking about. No you aren't saying it is impossible to profit using a trading bot,you are just saying it is impossible your accusations and suspicions based on nothing are wrong.

This is an idiotic, overly dramatic and non-applicable comparison. Nobody put you in prison, jackass. We're just trying to warn others that you are exhibiting untrustworthy behavior that has more in common with scammers than people offering legitimate services.

I'm thoroughly bored now of you arguing in circles with me and am not giving you any more free exposure.

Have a terrific day.

Is that anything like your an idiotic, overly dramatic and non-applicable comparison of this legitimate but potentially (maybe) risky service to fraud? You aren't just warning people, just creating a thread would be just warning people. You and your cult buddies are arbitrating who does and does not get to have a reputation based on your suspicions alone.

What are we trying to create here, a Silk Road type of marketplace! Fireams and marijuana, how about prostitution? It is legal in Germany and Austria so can we advertise them here as well and sell the services only to jurisdictions where it's allowed?  

No offense to OP but I don't think this is the right place for such items even if they are allowed in certain jurisdictions. Just my personal opinion. It can draw in the wrong kind of prying eyes.

That is the beauty of Bitcoin. No one has to give a fuck about your opinion. I assure you "the wrong kind of prying eyes" have plenty of other more interesting stuff to look at around here.

You also have a long daily history of calling other profiles trust abusers!

But, I don't care.  Smiley



I didn't just call you a trust abuser, I proved it over and over again with documented evidence of your behavior, unlike you who have substantiated ZERO of your accusations against myself or OGNasty for that matter. You sure do a lot of arguing for some one who doesn't care.
3391  Economy / Reputation / Re: Flag - "CryptoSparks" on: September 28, 2019, 06:24:25 AM
Here's a few "concrete red flags" for you that can be found just in your signature:

Quote
CONNECT FOR FREE OUR BOT TO YOUR BITMEX ACCOUNT VIA API KEY

It might be free to connect but you are also charging people a $10 fee and 30% of all profits. If they make net losses for the month, they still owe you $10, and you lose nothing.

Quote
SAFE AND SLOW PASSIVE INCOME!

You have no guarantee that its "safe" other than your word. "Passive income" is also a term meant to attract a certain audience, mainly those who attempt to profit off Ponzis and MLM schemes.

Quote
ROI: +495%🔥

This is based on nothing other than your word, and again you are just throwing out a big number in hopes of attracting a special kind of moron. Its a tactic we've seen employed by scammers hundreds of times. Just because you present "backtest data" of something, it does not mean that data was not altered to make things appear in your favor. You have a strong penchant for doing this as has already been demonstrated by you saying you've made 100% winning trades when the very data you've provided says otherwise. It might just be a little lie but it goes to show that you are willing to lie to promote your project.

We don't even need to delve into your loan request to present enough evidence to warrant a type 1 flag.

Nobody's saying its impossible to profit with a trading bot. What we are saying is the way you are going about promoting it is incredibly shady and you use several sales tactics that overlap with those used by scammers.

Nobody needs an intricate knowledge of your business model or the trading process to recognize your behavioral pattern and understand how the crowd that you are appealing to here is the same as that of Ponzi and MLM scammers. You throw out big numbers while saying your service is "safe, free and easy", which is all bullshit backed by nothing other than your word and a handful of verifiable trades. That's what warrants suspicion about your project.

Like I tried to say earlier before TS derailed the conversation, come back when you have several months of verifiable trade history under your belt and then we'll talk again.

TL;DR

Prove you are innocent or we will assume your guilt and penalize you based on assumptions that could just as easily be false as true.
3392  Economy / Reputation / Re: Flag - "CryptoSparks" on: September 28, 2019, 06:01:29 AM
Of course it is observable. Objective proof of fraud it is not, just an assumption.

Objective proof of fraud isn't needed for a type 1 flag.

I know for a fact others agree with me. Most won't speak up for fear of being the next one targeted arbitrarily in retribution for challenging the hive mind.

I'm open to dissenting opinion, and you're not the only one dissenting. You've just overlooked the others because their existence doesn't fit in with your narrative. And your dissenting isn't even based on an actual analysis of the situation at hand but rather your desire to troll the regular targets. You should probably add CryptoSparks to your trust list as your next move, if you haven't already.

After all burning witches at the stake makes you look good and raises your profile. Defending people from the witch hunters is just work that will result in retribution, why would they speak up?

Suchmoon doesn't need to "raise their profile" (whatever that even means) as they - unlike you - have long been considered a voice of reason around here.

Unlike you I don't measure my self worth based on the judgements of others

And that's the problem. You measure your self worth based on your own judgments of yourself, which is why you are so out of touch with reality and nobody takes you seriously.

but hey maybe if you keep trying to marginalize me suddenly it will work.

You marginalize yourself every time you enter the fray with a bullheaded attitude that is based on little other than the desire to attack your "opponents."

"concrete red flags" = objective evidence

It does not mean guesses, suspicions, or assumptions, all of which are not concrete but arbitrary and completely subjective. I am not overlooking anything, I am refuting their arguments and bringing attention to the fact that this kind of arbitrary enforcement will not only not prevent scams, but will result in people disregarding the rules even more because of their arbitrary and selective enforcement breed disrespect for the rule of law. No one respects a system of rules for thee and not for me.

Many people argue trying to sell your account is grounds for accusations of fraud, yet some how you remain trusted, funny how that works. Could it be because these inquisitions are more of a popularity contest than an examination of facts? Either the standards apply to everyone or they apply to no one, and for them to apply to everyone they need to be well defined and objective.

Most of the people running around accusing people built their reputations on doing so, regularly at the expense of innocent users with no repercussions to themselves. Furthermore they prevent dissent to their opinions by creating an atmosphere where anyone can be made subject to these arbitrary accusations and scrutinizing every action they have ever taken. Tell me some more about attacking my opponents while your entire statement consists of personal attacks and almost nothing on topic.
3393  Economy / Reputation / Re: Flag - "CryptoSparks" on: September 28, 2019, 05:04:00 AM
The words he used were "concrete red flags" ie something solid and observable beyond mere suspicion. You are free to have your own opinions,you are not free to have your own facts and rules. No matter how abhorrent you think I am, I am still not part of a collectivist hive mind that punishes anyone of a different mind. I am just one individual that upholds principles no matter who they apply to. Its easy to feel right with a dozen of your friends ready to dogpile on anyone who challenges you. This is all that is wrong with the current default trust as it stands. Feel free to find some more friends to reassure you of your correctitude in your arbitrary witch hunts.

It is very observable that CryptoSparks asked for a 5 BTC loan and said it's risk-free.

You don't uphold any "principles", you're just making shit up when you're unable to get someone to agree with you. You can't be possibly dumb enough to believe that your incessant yapping about your virtuous character means anything to anybody except yourself.

Of course it is observable. Objective proof of fraud it is not, just an assumption. I know for a fact others agree with me. Most won't speak up for fear of being the next one targeted arbitrarily in retribution for challenging the hive mind. After all burning witches at the stake makes you look good and raises your profile. Defending people from the witch hunters is just work that will result in retribution, why would they speak up?

Even if no one agreed I would be perfectly happy calling out your double standards. If you haven't noticed yet I have little need to have the approval of others when pointing out these logical inconsistencies. Unlike you I don't measure my self worth based on the judgements of others, but hey maybe if you keep trying to marginalize me suddenly it will work.
3394  Other / Politics & Society / Re: REEE: [US Only] Impeachment Vote on: September 28, 2019, 04:51:11 AM
Did anyone else stop to consider........ this "whistleblower" reportedly got the info 2nd or third hand.  Was someone in that chain of rumor a Trump plant ?, passing word of 'there's impeachable evidence over there' ? All with the intent to bait the Dems into their typical spastic feeding frenzy, which in the end, only really bought the spotlight back onto the Biden crimes committed there.

Look over here for bad Trump stuff.
Looks there and only finds Biden bad stuff. (That everyone forgot about)

I think Trump cat-fished the idiot Dems, knowing they'd trip over themselves for "evidence". (While forgetting that they buried the Biden crime), only to re-expose the Biden crimes.

Bad Biden stuff has been out for 3 years, and nothing ever became of it. If something could have, it would have by now.

Bad Trump stuff (in the context of Ukraine) has been out for less than a week now and its already been the grounds for an impeachment inquiry.

Perhaps one set of bad stuff is actually worse than the other... Just perhaps.

What bad Trump stuff? So far all I have seen is 100% speculation and accusations based on nothing. They would have started an impeachment hearing over an excessively loud fart if they thought it would work. This is evidence of nothing but the democrat's desperation. Actually the Biden stuff has been in public since he was in office. Now what could possibly stop the prosecution of a very powerful connected corrupt man while he still held office?

Furthermore you pretend as if the dems wouldn't be screeching autistically calling it retribution for Russiagate if this was brought to light any sooner. Three years of unending obsessive scrutiny over Trump supposed election meddling, turnabout is fair play. That is of course unless you never gave a fuck about election meddling and only cared about the part that made Trump look suspect.

I have been raising these issues for years because unlike you I was around long enough to have helped build this community

Rambling, Nagging and whining do not help build any community, speaking of how you "helped build the community"  , 90% of your posts are either in Politics & Society (useless for the forum ) and Market place ( You selling your stuff and that does not do anything to the community, in fact the community is doing you a great favor by providing you a great platform to trade) and the rest of your posts are either in Meta or Reputation (Obviously crying and whining about trust system/merit/mods ,,etc)

I hate to break it to you, but you are really just an average forum user, that is not bad per se, you just need to reconcile with yourself and move on.

Adios,

Nah, you have kind of been a twat from our first interaction including this one.  I don't need your approval, and you haven't been around long enough to have any clue about what I have contributed. Any chance you are going to get back on topic and present evidence to support this flag?

I treated you with respect

That was a mistake, and in the jungle it only takes one.   Techy is still using posts I made six years ago against me.  :/

Adios

A successful pattern we should all follow!  Smiley

Perhaps because you were never once held accountable for your abuse and you continue to deny it ever happened.

Now that you are done with your own pissing and moaning, do you care to present any evidence to support this flag or do you consider your suspicions alone sufficient regardless of the stated flag requirements?

A "red flag" in this context is a warning sign (I doubt theymos meant a Chinese national flag). You might think that asking for a 5 BTC loan and lying about risks is not a warning sign but apparently for other users it is.

It's quite amusing actually how you moan about mobs and bullies, but you're the one expecting others to follow your only true religion while your opponents seem to be aware of the possibility of existence of different opinions. I'm starting to think that you may not be a "knowledgeable & reasonable forum user".

If you don't care why are you trying to stop people calling you out for your long documented pattern of lies and abuse?

You and OG have a long documented history of crying trust abuse.  If you have specific examples of lies or abuse, point them out and I will address them.   Bumping a drum and chanting "liar" is boring to everyone.

I care what interested crypto newbies think about me, because I see a future in crypto.  I don't care what you or OG think. 

I hope that answers your question.  Smiley 
(Actually, I don't care lol)

We both have a long documented history of calling out YOUR trust system abuse, which is well documented here, along with your pages and pages of attempting to avoid directly addressing any accusations, as well as refusing to document accusations of your own. You keep saying you don't care, but I don't think that word means what you think it does.


Who wouldn't have a problem with that? lol  At this point, you get ignored on statements like this as well as a lot of Vod's because both have resorted to just hoping the person reading believes them, instead of them being able to make an informed decision on anything new being brought up. Informed decisions require good facts which are backed with evidence or proof. If you're not doing this, you're adding to the shit show.

Funny you aren't asking Vod to present any facts...

I guess OGNasty is just guilty until proven innocent? The FACT that Vod had abused his position repeatedly over the years is well documented, here with plenty of facts.

Every time you get asked a question you can't answer you start being rude and disrespectful, if my "rambling" does not matter then stop quoting my posts and go do something better with your life.


An environment where anyone is subject to arbitrary accusations and is guilty until proven innocent is far more destructive

You have been whining about everything regarding the forum for years now, and nobody seems to care about your worthless opinions, you have been here for 8 years probably repeating the same shit over and over again, how long more till you realize that crying about every thing in this forum won't change a thing? or maybe this place is not for you after all.

If I am wasting my time posting here, what are you doing? Your posts are most valuable and sanctified are they? This is not a place where people trend towards politeness, and frankly I don't give a flying fuck if you or anyone else thinks I am rude. I treat people with as much respect and politeness as they give me, and you simply don't like being treated in the way you treat others as you join this little mob to cast aspersions to raise your own profile.

I have been raising these issues for years because unlike you I was around long enough to have helped build this community and recognize this behavior as antithetical to the entire purpose of Bitcoin. I don't need your approval or the approval of anyone else for that matter. I know for a fact my efforts have yielded results even if you are to dumb to realize it.

Now that you are done with your own pissing and moaning, do you care to present any evidence to support this flag or do you consider your suspicions alone sufficient regardless of the stated flag requirements?

For some one who doesn't care you sure do spend an awful lot of time and energy stalking and harassing anyone who dares criticize your behavior.

Not really... just trying to stop the constant "vod is a liar" kiddy drum.  If OG would just write "I have not been collecting or paying taxes on my bitcoin business, but I will start now." I wouldn't have to ever take him off ignore.  

What bothers me most isn't that he is denying he sold anything tax free - it's that he is still doing it while he is in all this trouble - just to save his vanity here and win his imaginary war with me.  Unfortunately for bitcoin, anyone who is buying or selling with him probably also be contacted when they try to cash out.   And he also doesn't care that is hurting these newbies...




If you don't care why are you trying to stop people calling you out for your long documented pattern of lies and abuse? Who the fuck made you an enforcement agent of the IRS, Canadian office? You have no way whatsoever to substantiate your claims first of all. Even IF it were true it is still NONE OF YOUR FUCKING BUSINESS. Everyone is well aware the ONLY reason you made this accusation/report was to retaliate against some one who dared to be critical of your behavior.

At this point I have no respect for anyone who thinks you deserve inclusion in the default trust as you have repeated ad nauseam to abuse the authority it gives you and use it as a personal tool of retribution against your critics. I am not sure if they continue including you out of apathy or fear of retribution, but either way there is no excuse to continue to give you access to a tool designed to protect users from fraud so you can use it as a cudgel to beat people you don't agree with over the head.

Techy, when I consider how you and OG have manipulated the trust system, I realize I don't care what you two idiots think.   Smiley

The fact that people exist who disagree with you and call you on your lies and abuse does not constitute manipulation. For some one who doesn't care you sure do spend an awful lot of time and energy stalking and harassing anyone who dares criticize your behavior.

The flag requires "concrete red flags", I.E. evidence, not just suspicion. This is not a valid flag.

Does this fact apply to those who ask you to send them 0.25BTC and receive 1BTC in 24 hours ? assuming it's a newbie account with no "evidence" that would support any flag?

if you want to talk about solid evidence then 90% of online  scammers are innocent, simply put most evidence are just screenshots of conversations and shit, they can be easily faked, the same thing applies to all gift card scammers and any other sort of internet scam, good luck having a solid proof against any online criminal, based on your theory we might as well just cancel the whole idea of the flag system since we rarely present any solid proof that would satisfy you and ask the victims to take their cases to court.

TS, let me ask you a question, would you lend CryptoSparks 5BTC if you had that ? I bet on NO , simply because you do know that it's very unlikely you going to get your money back, if Theymos or any other trusted member asked for the same loan, you probably wouldn't mind , despite the fact that there is no solid evidence that Theymos is going to pay back neither CryptoSparks would scam you, logic is stronger than evidence in many cases, this case is no exception.

None of your rambling matters, The fact is Theymos implemented these standards in order to stop arbitrary accusations without evidence, and you have none. An environment where anyone is subject to arbitrary accusations and is guilty until proven innocent is far more destructive than an environment where some scammers slip through the cracks (which you will never stop anyway). This is an invalid flag and an abuse of the system as it was designed.
