Perhaps, not trying to annoy anyone, but considering everything, I think the likelihood that either he's a Ponzi schemer or that he's just slowly waiting to obtain money via other means (possibly to annoy people?) are much higher. I doubt he'd have any reason to put _all_ of the money in LR.

I do not discount the fact BTCST could have been a ponzi, but if it is not then this could explain the delay in repayment.  It is in his interest to repay as fast as possible so long as the money is not 'working' now.
