Still an unsurprising lack of bets from the big mouth crowd.    Well, at least we know they're just kids with no backbone for when they start up their next vigilante campaign.  Bunch of cowards

Also, how cute is smoothie .  Jumping on the bandwagon as be wanted to be like the cool kids but doesnt even understand what a ponzi is!   Haha

Have you gotten your money back from Pirate yet?

I've placed a bet, Micon's placed a bet, Maged has placed a bet.
Really you just mean Vladimir, since I can't see anyone else who's been notably vocal over the BS&T matter who hasn't placed a bet.

Oh by the way, how are those repayments going?

$10,000 USD saying it's a Ponzi is a "lack of bets?" O.o

BTW, if you look at my prior post, you'll notice that I generally defend those who are unjustly accused, try to play devil's advocate, and don't jump to conclusions just because the majority says someone is in the wrong. I still say this is likely a ponzi or a scam. High returns like these are possible once or twice, not on a constant basis.

It will be obvious by then what the result is, and MNW said he can stop accepting bets at any time.

10,000 out of a possible 100,000?  Yes.   Especially considering how sure half the forum was.  Obviously not that sure afterall.

If Pirate defaults tomorrow, you will have missed your chance to bet.

Not enough forum cred. Plus the bet is not well-defined enough to risk being labeled a scammer over a potential disagreement (although I think the outcome is going to be quite clear).

As far as being a coward, I believe it is very profitable to be one--especially at times when others are being greedy.

There is unfortunately no way this bet can be resolved until he either pays back or 3 weeks pass.  If he "defaults" tomorrow, he still could technically gamble up or borrow some coins to pay back with in the next few weeks.  He loses the Vandroiy bet after 2 weeks IIRC.

nanotube will hold in his possession a data set containing hashed usernames and withdrawal addresses of all BTCST account holders, and will be supplied any differences in such table at regular intervals, in case of account closures or creations. A user making a claim must submit to nanotube his BTCST account username, and registered BTCST withdrawal address, as well as any supporting documentation as to the payments that were due but failed to be disbursed.

Just curious, has this been done?  It will be useful it some payouts start coming in.

Fair enough.   To clarify your previous post. I'm not in "damage control" as you put it (my money is tied up either way, nothing I can do will change that, its all on pirate now), what I am doing however is not letting these people, who have been very, very, very persistant, in your face, and adamant about this being a scam get away with just slinking off into the background now that they have the power to prove the courage of their convictions.


If they come through and make bets to back up what they've been saying, then good for them, a sliver of respect is earned.   If not, well then they've shown their true colours to the forum, and I get some satisfaction from that.

Plus, I'm swaying more towards pirate most likely coming through, so if these guys lose some money then I consider that a tax for being trolls the past few months.

If he doesnt come through, you're most welcome to point and laugh at me.  However you'll do so while I'm on my pirate funded 2 week holiday in the sun, playing my new Les Paul Supreme.  I'll survive

I keep seeing a lot of speculation on how Pirate can run a ponzi AND how he could acquire the funds to pay back his lenders. Do you even think about what you are posting? This is basic logic.

IF Pirate ran a ponzi THEN he is a scammer.

IF he is a scammer, THEN he has no incentive to pay back his lenders, because stealing their money was the whole point all along.

Therefore, talk about him defaulting and then paying everyone back after a hot run at Satoshi Dice or other scheme is prima facie retarded.

If a = b and b = c, then a = c. This is elementary logic.

Fair warning, everything you guys are saying is being reported as Off-topic and will probably be removed. If you're not going to bet, stand down and watch. There are plenty of other threads for talk.

This thread is for action.
