Phinnaeus Gage scammer tag request

[BCB]

What, exactly, was the charity bet about? Context is necessary, here. From the limited context in this thread, it's looking like he does deserve a negative trust. I can't really give a proper explanation of why I think that without the context, though.

Phinnaeus Gage is not a scammer.

Please don't engage this nonsense!

Late last year I promised Josh that I will donate $100 toward a charity of his or BFL's choice (without them having to put anything) once they start delivering ASIC-based bitcoin miners, of which they have. Later, prior to them delivering, I upped it to $200. None of this is in dispute.

I clearly owe $200 toward a charity of Josh or BFL's choosing. This will be paid in the future, at which time I may set up a trust fund prior from which the funds will come from. Pretty cut and dry, wouldn't you say so Maged?

I'm still trying to understand - why did you say you would do this?

Don't worry, as long as there is progress, you won't get in trouble.
And since you're close to coming up with a name for your charity fund, which is a clear improvement, I'm sure Maged will resume the stopwatch, as usual.

When I made the offer, it was from the kindness of my heart without any ill-intent intended. Basically, you can even call it a bride to hopefully have BFL ship out quicker. That's the best way I can put it. No other real back story to it.

Thanks!

In that case, here's how I see it: They didn't ship quickly, and they didn't seem to have been very encouraged by this bet at all. In that case, no tag is necessary here. I'm open to different interpretations, though.

I'm open to different interpretations, though.

With about as much seriousness as 1/3 of a duck:

BFL was incentivized by the donation offer.
This caused them to expend significantly more resources (valued at almost $200) to ship faster. (You might not believe it, but they were going to ship later)
Without this timely donation, harm has been caused to them (see value above) by Phin's broken promise.

Broken promise (fraud) + monetary damage = scam!!!1

Oh, my fuckin' God! If I would've known. Josh was right when he said I harmed people, but he was too humble to express that the harm was toward BFL directly and not having enough Poodle Chow for his hippie mutt indirectly. But the damage is already done, and I'm sure it'll all work out in the end after Josh pays out that 1000K BTC to charity he owes.

Consider yourself lucky. He lured me into his barn one night and...things... happened.

so sorry I could not find the accent aigu key.   Personally, I like the attacks by people that thought it was douche (USA schools are really going downhill fast)

Do a chargeback!

Gage also steals pictures off the internet.

You guys know how to make me smile

Inaba is again a brainless troll.  Making a promise in return for nothing can't possibly be a scam because nobody is deprived of anything.

This is as compared to running a business where you take hundreds of thousands of dollars of money in "preorders" and then don't deliver for about a year.  That, by comparison, would be an example of a scam.

I still don't see how it's a scam though.

Let's see...

Phin makes me laugh, Josh makes me cringe.

This thread is no different.

Carry On.

Welcome to dramatalk, where the scammer tags don't matter and everything is illegal

I want to thank Phin for always being absolutely ridiculous in his characteristic deadpan manner. I imagine if held at gunpoint, he would begin to talk about some failed deal involving 3 laptops and half a duck.

dropped my load on this one. ROTFLMAO
