How is anyone seeing what bitbook did is right?
Thats pure insanity.
The guy emailed another reputable company with his findings, for this very reason. Bitbook gets butt hurt because he found a serious flaw, and auto accuses him of scamming and threatens to hold his coins.
It's pretty cut and dry. Bitbook fucked up, then they want to punish OP for it.
It is NOT OP's job to help them fix a site bug. Can bitbook freeze or ban his account? Sure. Thats their choice. Thats fine. But to keep his coins. NEVER is that right, ever. Bitbook can guess at his intent, but I tend to think that since he PM'd all the info to a third party, reputable company, before proceeding, that he was trying to test to see if the site had a clear security leak, or if it would be noticed.
We will never know if the OP wouldd have kept the coins. But think on this:
If he wanted to keep the coins, wouldnt he have loaded him one account, made all kinds of bets, then transferred them to one other account and cashed out? What he did makes absolutely no sense for a scammer to do.
All you people who are saying you respect and are now a customer of bitbook for life after this are insane. They handled this piss poorly.
OP, glad you got your coins back. I see what you tried to do. It's what any person who tests sites for flaws would do. Obviously these people here have no idea what bug testing is for. Good on you sir.
Hit the nail on the head, thank you.
Upon re-reading the thread, bitbook does seem quite sketchy.
Should I paint them red, or...?
Thank you for re-reading, if anyone thinks I was wrong please please please take 10 minutes and reread.
I believe Bitbook.biz should pay for having this exposed on their site. I have seen tons of post of bug's being found and donations being given.
I want to make a pledge. 80% of anything donated from Bitbook.biz will be donated to BitCoinTalk.org
5% will be given to my escrow
5% will be given to everyone sends Bitbook.biz a PM urging them to do the right thing (post here count as the same thing)
10% will be kept for myself
All funds can be sent to John K to be distributed.
