Quick Question - What if Pirate didn't say he would pay in a week or two?

[michaelmclees]

What if he stated from the outset that he'd be paying in 1-2 months?

After 6 weeks, would the pro-Pirate people be saying, "Well... he did say it could take 2 months..."?

What if he stated that it would take 6 months?

After 5 and a half months, would they be calming the naysayers?  "He did say it might take 6 months."

Is there any conceivable time frame he could have given that would simply be too long for anyone to believe?

Well give him 2 weeks and i'd say he's lost all credability.

That and he loses his 5000btc bet with vandroiy after 2w

I don't expect the entire process to last longer than a week.

XXXX and the rest of his shills will start claiming they have been paid, tell you all to "SHUT THE FUCK UP OR YOU WILL GET PUT ON THE BOTTOM OF PIRATES LIST"

then some other shills will say "PUT YOUR FUCKING MONEY WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS OR SHUT THE FUCK UP"

Basically, intimidation tactics and nothing else.
