Lol, did you notice the percentage he offered to pay back as interest? Even though some people might be skeptical about the legitimacy of that request from a forum staff, greed can not allow them to make the right decision to dismiss it. Imagine making 25% profit within just three days. People can easily for this considering that the request came from a reputable forum staff. And even involve theymos in his shady behaviour.
NotATether how convenient do you find typing the forum url on daily basis?
I have the forum page bookmark and pin in my browser and even when I try to type manually, my browser keeps suggesting the accurate url for me.
That's a good percentage but that doesn't matter. The fact is that this forum has thousands of Bitcoins in reserve. Cyrus and other people should definitely have a couple of Bitcoins in their pocket. Even if they need a loan, they wouldn't ask about it on this forum and more specifically, they wouldn't pin a loan thread on the main page in news section.
Seems, the creator of that phishing website doesn't know the history of bitcointalk very well because if he really wanted to scam people, he would use a different person instead of Cyrus. I ask this to OGs. Do you remember one guy on this forum who would come suddenly, ask for a big loan and then would give you back a huge percent? He didn't really need a loan, he was just having his fun. P.S. Hint: He had a mental issue (maybe not really but pretended to have).
If you guys don't remember who I'm talking about, then I'll publish his name but I don't want to reveal it because I don't want to inspire scammers.
