Scammer: Inaba

[oakpacific]

I think the bottom line is: you can argue that as long as BFL has not defaulted yet, mods should not be in a place to make predictions, as they should only handout scammer tags based on facts of scamming. Otoh, if there is sufficient evidence that BFL hasn't reached their power traget, the bet between Inaba and Micon should be upheld, and Inaba should get a scammer tag if he refuses to pay up the 1000 BTCs.

Geez, as long as he doesn't flat out refuse to pay, he can take all the time in the world, right? Never mind the fact that he didn't put up the cash in escrow as specified and that it's been two months, it not like he (or the people he works with) have a track record for being hilariously late with stuff and or simply not delivering.

Oh, if their clients keep putting up with them, clinging to their preorders like it's the last straw grown on the bank of the river, why should the mods care? Suckers gonna find a way to screw themselves up anyway. Heck, if Theymos does give BFL the scammer tag, he may even find himself in waist-deep shit, as thousands of BFL "believers"/EMC customers going crazy with him as if he is the one responsible for their losses, I can foresee that.

Yes, he has a substantial share in that responsibility! He allowed scammers to advertise for too long while silencing all of us who tried to warn what is going on.

Once more for those who are having a seperate conversation; I'm not talking about the delays of BFL vaporware, simply using them as an example of hilarity in track record.

I couldn't give two shits about BFL getting tagged, that's about the greed and naïveté of their client base. I'm talking about Josh, the person incarnated by the forum name Inaba and his six figure boast-bet. Yes I find the split "one account to kinda stay profesionnal but not really and one account to flat out insult clients" method stupid, but it was allowed so that's that.

Stop trying to tag BFL in this thread.

Of course.

I agree fully that given the precedence of MNW, Inaba should be fully taggable for his bet with Micon if the outcome is clear.

I've got my popcorn ready when this entire BFL scandal blows up.

Though it would be GREAT if I got a jala before WebWarIII

Tag him for the unpaid bet as well as the 11 month stringalong game.  Unacceptable.

It's disgusting that Inaba / Josh Zerlan does not have a scammer tag yet.  The charity bet is a very clear cut case of scamming.  BFL's CEO (not Josh - different scammer) is a convicted con artist (whose father was a career con man).  It's pretty transparent what they were hoping to accomplish with this phony "guarantee".

Same thing as with the fake delivery bet on coinjedi's scamsite? Just a guess.

Give it time, if we waited almost a year already for them to be scammer tagged, I'm sure the benefits of applying a scammer tag in the future will be very rewarding.

You know the drill. An "untrustworthy" tag à la Matthew N. Wright could also be considered.

Yup...

Of course the great irony here is that Matthew has been banned because he "said something" and Inaba continues to be the number one advertiser in these forums.  Theymos is OBVIOUSLY more interested in the money than the conversation.

 It would not be fair to label Inaba a scammer without bestowing the same honor upon Theymos.

 Neither will happen on these forums under Theymos' ownership; the corruption runs too deep.

Inaba = Shady.

BFL = Shady.


Why not give both the SHADY tag?

Haha looks like someone learned a new word today! 

Bick, you're like a little kid who learns his first cuss word... you go around adding it to everything you say, is it because you think it makes you cool?

This is how you handle customer service, guys. You should always go around telling the community you are trying to get to buy your products that they are basically fucking idiots constantly.

Psssst... Bicknellski isn't a customer.  He purchased from Avalon and we see where that got him...
