Roger Ver to be sued for defrauding bitcoin newbies.

[Carterwyang]

I am more than sorry for all those who joined and invested on bitcoin cash because of this guy, yes, we all are aware of that and this guy really needs to pay for that

[Noelle.2412]

it seems roger ver is trying very hard to try to substitute bitcoin cash into bitcoin so try to buy some assets and a website called bitcoin and used to inform bitcoin cash.We need more strict actions such people fooling new investors.

[DiegoPatterson.9909]

so many bitcoin enthusiasts say that Roger Ver is one of the main characters who will damage the crypto world because his greed and such misleading actions,Bitcoin community is strong despite many quarrels about scaling.

The truth will always prevail,i dont want to talk about this greedy man but instead i pity those newbie investors who wrongfully invested to bitcoin cash, Bcash is indeed an altcoin but it's definitely not Bitcoin. Bitcoin which created by Satoshi Nakamoto is the real Bitcoin, not the one created by a businessman for more profit.

[300pips]

Dont take this seriously, but I just notice that most Bitcoin Cash believers are newbies and also a previous Bitconnectttttt victims. Those individuals are so busy that they dont have time to research what is the truth behind what they believe.

I am not a lawyer nor an expert on this. Let's wait for the progress of this case, if indeed this will be filed in the proper courts of the law. However, I am with a little doubt that this will really progress. At the end of the day, the choice as to which between Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash is the real Bitcoin is not that clear. Bitcoin at least has the name but Bitcoin Cash might also have the real vision of the founder. I don't know. I have a wait and see approach on this.

Looks like those wanting to sue him only raised $4K and abandoned their mission.

From the first time BCH went out I already doubted it. Didn't even participate into getting that BCH airdrop that they are giving.it's sad if new users make a mistake when buying.

People going to the bitcoin.com website (which is owned by Ver) is the main problem because of the confusion it causes. Anybody can fork any coin, n o problem about that and anyone can claim their fork of Bitcoin is the 'rea' Bitcoin but when they have a domain name such as bitcoin.com to spread their version of their events then there is a major problem.

This is suitable for him, because it is deceiving beginners who use bitcoin. We should teach a good beginner and tell him that bitcoin is a coin that can change people's lives. Not to deceive them or use them. I hope he Roger Ver gets the proper punishment.

[LeGaulois]

If Bitcoin represented a company it would have been quite possible. But given the nature of the project, it is rather difficult. One could think of copyright, defamation and many other things. It's much easier to defend a company than a project in such a way

The lawsuit against Roger Ver was cancelled because too many people were happy enough to encourage taking him to court but when the organisers asked for money in donations to help pay for the legal fees they received a few hundreds dollars instead of a few hundred thousand.

Characters like Roger Ver deserve the worst punishment there possibly can be, Cheating innocent souls into making wrong decisions by a figure like Ron is a very unfortunate and a disgrace, just shows how greedy people can get in this business.  The newbies need to be enlightened, there are all kinds of information available online about this coins, it will be in order if you took your time as a newbie to look into these coins an make informed investment choices,

[kaybounty]

Its so unfortunate that such established figures use their influence and knowledge to defraud innocent investors whose only intention is to make something out of their investments. Such people should be held responsible for their activities. Its unfortunate that such things happen. The newbies should however be encouraged to do more research on the coins they invest in before making investment decisions. This way they will avoid not only being scammed but also making wrong investment moves.

Agreed that newbies should do proper research

Agreed that what Roger Ver has done with his bitcoin.com domain name is wrong

I disagree with assertions that Ver "deserves the worst type of punishment"

Feel free to criticise anyone (including Ver) all you like but keep it civil please. Ver seems to be a fortunate man being in the right place at the right time and Bitcoin made him wealthier than he could have ever imagined

It is widely accepted Ver seems to have bitten the hand (Bitcoin) that fed him by creating Bitcoin Cash and using his bitcoin.com domain to create confusion simply because he could not take over or influence the path of Bitcoin BUT it does not mean everything is a free-for-all against Ver or anyone else.

The thing is whenever you choose to spend your hard earned money, you need to take responsibility for your own actions. Before you invest in anything you do your own research and if you are either too greedy or lazy to do that it's your own fault entirely. There is always risk involved in any investment. All comes back to never spend more than you can afford to loose.

Agreed

Everybody is responsible for their actions

looks like a PR company from Roger Ver. It's his style. But even if not his initiative, this lawsuit sounds like a farce

The lawsuit was a farce. Everybody in crypto (including myself) was looking forward to Ver attending court. I was hoping he would be forced to hand over his bitcoin.com domain to the Bitcoin team at bitcoin.org as part of the settlement.

Unfortunately the planned lawsuit was called off because the team behind the lawsuit could not raise enough money. Several people donated by giving Bitcoins but they totalled a few hundred dollars which was not even enough to get the project off the ground. Total farce.

Do I understand this correctly?

Dumb and uninformed newbies, too stupid or too lazy to spend the few minutes to understand the difference between BCH and BTC (in a world with 1600+ cryptos just on CMC) have bought the "wrong" bitcoin, or sent coins to the wrong address. THE FRONT PAGE of BITCOIN.COM lists both currencies, at very different prices, how can you think they are the same?

These newbies now come running to the government, crying that they have been wronged? I see. Just like people who eat at McDonalds all day and sue the place for being fat. So much about being libertarian LOL.

How pitiable. Please don't have children.

[JollyGood]

Do I understand this correctly?

Yes you are correct but Roger Ver has also played his part in this fiasco too
