What makes it a lot more difficult than it already is, is that $78 is almost 1/4(sometimes even more than 1/4) of the total average monthly salary here in the Philippines.
If I'd be given the opportunity to earn a week's worth of salary in a short amount of time, I'd take it!
I don't get it: if 0.003 Bitcoin is worth so much you can't even pay it back, wasting the opportunity to earn it is just stupid.
Certainly, even though I'm not situated in a third-world country as others mentioned, $80 for a job that would require me to work for 2-3 hours at most is a bargain. I didn't make that amount of money in two days when I was working, let alone now that I'm practically unemployed. The accused had a simple job that he agreed to do, and assuming that he didn't have the time, he should have turned down the offer and returned the money immediately. It's astonishing that such opportunities do not come often on the forum; I myself hadn't noticed it, because if I did, I'd be willing to participate. On top of that, a successful review would open up more opportunities in the future; how can someone not see this?
And I don't understand—is the accused being ironic now? What is this reply, "Bye for now"? I don't get it; is he implying that he's not going to return the money after apologizing in the first place? I'm not against charging interest, since that's how a loan would act, but in the meantime, it's of outmost importance for even the starting 0.003 BTC to be returned.
