https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=229953.msg2441017#msg2441017.. in short:
Tallos was collecting for a group-buy and tried to exchange cash euros to BTC,
he was robbed at the Meeting, they took all the cash and other belongings .. his smartphone with the key to the account of the already collected BTC, too.
As always in life ... believe it, or not
That is why you meet in a public place...
No. That is why you call guys like me or others who are willing to attend these meetings. People who have years of martial arts experience, people who have worked the door.
If you want such a meeting, just walk over to the next night club and ask the hugest guy over there if he was to help you out with this. Give him 50 bucks for every 1000 you have. Get a 2m high, 2m wide guy with you or at best, two of them, and everything is fine. In the US, take the guys that are armed.
I mean, seriously, these are cash transfers. What the fuck?
