Also:
Am I naive to think that something will be done here? Many people here tend towards conspiratorial thinking, whereas I tend to think that's generally a lot less likely. But is it possible that due to Luke's contributions as a developer and Josh working for BFL, that this will simply be ignored?

Absolutely will be ignored. In a coupla months' time I will be the only one bringing this up, and a bunch of newbs who don't know better + a few scammers (such as these you list) who have a vested interest will be claiming I troll. This has been basically going on for a year+ by now, wash rinse and repeat. Just look in the Tradehill thread at the attempts to wash that cadaver. Look at Meni Rosenfeld's attempts to parlay his "contributions", imaginary such as they are, into a "get out of scam free" card. The forum is replete with examples. Which is why this thread says: 2.3. You read, on this forum, and you discuss with the market participants. You get your pecking order straight. Who are the movers and shakers? Whose word is worth 10k Bitcoins no questions asked and from whom? Why? You get the history straight. Who were the scammers, historically? How did they do it ? What are the patterns? How did the people who matter react, and why? What does that say about them, how does that color their relationships among each other?

Honestly, I'm starting to think coinjedi just made a really bad mistake, but with no ill intent. It's a lot of money, and ideally the winners should be paid what they should have won. But it's pretty easy to see who caused this whole situation.
I'd be surprised if coinjedi wasn't angry at Luke and Josh for causing him to undermine the integrity of his site, as well as costing him his comission.
It really doesn't even matter whether or not there was bad intention. I'm not into mind-reading. What matters is that the only thing a betting escrow site like BoB has that makes it worth using is a reputation for honesty and integrity, and this involves paying out winning bets, every time. If the site doesn't do that and instead steals from the winners and gives to the losers, who cares why it does that? Nobody with any sense will ever take such a site seriously after such a scam result, even if the site operators are some kind of saintly retards who just don't know why they do what they do.

Over time people will forget all about this fraud, newbs will just assume that one betting site is just as good as the other. For examples of this please see: amazingrando(no tag) gigavps(no tag) All three participants in this theft should be given scammer tags. While tags aren't end all be all punishments it is at the very least a clear and obvious warning to the uninformed that THIS person is not to be trusted with anything more valuable than a free lolly from the bank's teller window.

Last 3 trolls seem to be missing the fact that the bet deadline was at the end of April 1, not the start of it.
1) do you really think these angry users are all trolls? 2) IMO you helped BFL manipulate a bet, which is shameful & dishonest.

1) do you really think these angry users are all trolls? I think they're sore losers who shouldn't be betting if they can't take responsibility for making sure the bet terms satisfy them. They should be glad it was declared a draw rather than a win for the pre-April side. 2) IMO you helped BFL manipulate a bet, which is shameful & dishonest. All I did was accept a device I paid for.

What about the other users who paid for theirs? That doesn't seem fair. What queue number were you? Would you mind showing proof of purchase? As someone who previously believed in BFL's ability to deliver on promises (a long time ago), it'd mean a lot to me.

They should be glad it was declared a draw rather than a win for the pre-April side. The bet terms were fine. You and Josh provided misinformation causing the site to grade the bet wrong. You willfully posted deceptive pictures implying that you had recieved a shipment when in fact the pictured were taken at BFL. And Josh falsely reported "shipping" on twitter, and later admitted what you both had done. You defrauded the public. Please refute that claim. Any sort of logical reasoning why that is not a true statement would be great.

Define "accept". Which shipping company delivered the ASIC to your house? When was it delivered?

So you are privileged to receive one because? Point us in a direction that does not seem weird :/ Provide proof of purchase? (Show it to a trusted mod only! no need for showing this here. At least this is private )

Interesting that two of the three people who ordered custom leather products from my brother-in-law are mentioned on this page, and all three have yet to pay, ignoring my past requests of them to kindly do so.
I've never gone public in mentioning their names, nor probably never will, with the exception of this post being somewhat of a clue.
Even though I paid Martin out of my pocket cash for his services, the three items sets on a shelf in his studio as a reminder to him of what possibly Bitcoin is all about. Slowly, but surely I've been changing his way of thinking, but what does he think when he sees threads like this one (of me or of Bitcoin)? Moreover, what do the newbies think when they see said threads? Bitcoins = Gambling = Gambling site owners deciding the outcome to their or some other's benefit?
This episode reeks on so many levels, and to think that a many bitcoiners tried coming to their rescue before this exploded, but to no avail.

A leather thread does exist on this forum depicting one of the products with permission, whereas the other two no such permission exist, coupled with the designs would possibly give away as to whom they belong to. Apologies if this seems a cop-out answer, but it is what it is. Six-sided stars may or may not be a clue.

I "push" it up my ass at 3PM daily due to having to honor a bet. I would provide an image of the rod, but that would give away to whom I lost the bet to.
