Bruno Kucinskas a.k.a. Phinnaeus Gage a.k.a. TMIBTCITW ran off with a valuable herd of Bagot and British Primitive Goats belonging to a Lambo-driving Bitcoiner.
Okay, I take it back, it was possible to make it slightly more surreal.  |

What is your agenda in repeatedly stating that Andreas is running a scam?
Whilst that is of course possible, it seems highly unlikely that one of the best known names in the bitcoin community would destroy their reputation for a relatively small sum.
Will you be posting a public apology after Andreas delivers the funds?
LoL Trendon Shavers was the "community" financial leader until his scheme imploded. Bruce Wagner was the televised voice of the "community" until he got away with plenty of BTC which did not belonged to him. Patrick Harnett was the "community" bastion of the good credit until he vanished with Mircea's BTC. Zhou Thong was the "community" most young intelligent lad until he was caught stealing Bitcoinica's customers BTC. LoL Public apology for what? For my right to freely express what I think? Man, for a VIP member, you sure seem sour and jaded. Did the price crash get to you? Did you sell your forum account? |

Man, for a VIP member, you sure seem sour and jaded. Did the price crash get to you? Yes, I cannot stop to think how the people which bought BTC "savings" at 1200 USD are feeling right know... Poor people.  Did you sell your forum account? No. By the way, I read in another thread that Andreas is involved with the Neo&Bee scheme. It is a coincidence the donation date was changed when the Neo&Bee CEO just vanished...  |

Read here: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1ztjmg/andreas_im_fundraising_for_dorian_nakamoto/UPDATE - April 9th, 2014:
I am in contact with Mr. Dorian Nakamoto and I will be delivering control of the funds to him, in person, within the next 3 weeks. I will post an update once this is done, as verification. Man, for a VIP member, you sure seem sour and jaded. Did the price crash get to you? Yes, I cannot stop to think how the people which bought BTC "savings" at 1200 USD are feeling right know... Poor people. I am also sad for those people in the same way I was sad for those who bough at 260 in April last year, managed to hodl, and sold at 1000...  |

Wasn't Andreas advisor to Neo Bee led by scuzzball Cryptocyprus Danny who is the latest big scammer on this list (only Mark K. is missing)? http://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinStocks/comments/1swo6w/andreas_antonopoulos_is_advising_neo_bee_look_at/So he didn't pay Dorian Nakamoto diddly squat as of yet when it only takes seconds to make a payment? Quelle surprise... |

By mid April the price might be $600 or more so maybe it is a good idea for Andreas to take another week or two.
at this falling rate, he'd be lucky if it's $60  |

Well, even the man with the best of intentions might become the advisor for someone not that good. Andreas is probably busy and don't have the time to research everyone that contacts him. But he's probably well meaning and if anyone reaches out for help he gives a helping hand. By action, he's repeatedly shown that he wants the best of Bitcoin. It could all be a play, but I doubt that. As for the Neo Bee situation I have no idea how that's played out or what's happened, if there's anything criminal going on, that's highly unfortunate, and the last thing bitcoin needs. Dorian Nakamoto is reportedly not active when it comes to bitcoin, and I saw some reports of him not even having an internet connection, he had to drop it because of emotional distress. Through traditional channels, communications might take longer, and if there's an exchange to dollars involved, and possibly a flight so the money can be transferred in person as well, it will all add to the time required to finish the deal. If however it turns out it's a scam, Andreas has forever burned himself, somehow I believe that's not very likely, so as long as he's not provably failed, I will give him the benefit of the doubt. |

This is the attitude that lets so many Bitcoin scams flourish. People making excuses for red flags. |

Because relying on reputation isn't always the best thing, as has been proven tons of times. Everyone slobbered on Neo & Bee, look how well that turned out. People defending Danny even when he goes MIA for 2+ weeks with no answers.
What is the hold up to deliver money to Dorian?

Approx 19K USD worth of btc is collected at the moment (47.55 btc): https://blockchain.info/address/1Dorian4RoXcnBv9hnQ4Y2C1an6NJ4UrjXI guess 3 weeks timeframe in the real world to have something done is not unreasonable.. |

Read the post immediately above yours. within the next 3 weeks Can't decide whether this is better than Two Weeks TM or not.  Seriously though, he has to convert the BTC to USD and set up a meeting. Three weeks is perfectly reasonable. |

I say that if it were most anybody else, I would suggest getting out the pitchforks, but truly believe that Andreas Antonopolous WILL deliver even if it takes upwards of a month.
The sad part is that Dorian's lawyer may end up the biggest chunk of it since he probably had to retain counsel.

No one has take me up on my 10 to 1 odds bet that Andreas will deliver. I could always be wrong but like others have said, makes no sense for him to trash his reputation for a few dozen coins. Plus, when something rings true, you can feel it. I feel this man's integrity. |

I'm pretty sure Andreas has delivered the funds already and is just waiting a week or two to announce it, so it's very old news and the media won't bother to pick up on it. Smart.
