I would throw Pirate in there though since Trendon can be on the list or Tradefortress but they didn't have IPO's
So My vote goes to Eric since its the only one I fell for lol tsk and it was working till btct died lol.

This isn't about IPOs, this is just about the failed businessmen, hence Mark Karpeles being on the list.

+1 for Will and Terra of Icedrill.

I'd also like to nominate Eduardo from HF for "smooth talker".  I talked to that knob on the phone because I had a few simple questions that could have been succinctly and sufficiently answered in five minutes.   Thirty minutes of phone conversation later, nary a single one was answered.

I nominate Erik Voorhees, not so much for SatoshiDICE, where his leadership of this innovative and hugely profitable gambling site seems to have done okay for himself and investors, but for FeedZeBirds, where he very much deserves to be on this illustrious list:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=82866.0

Of course with the following "pins":

*Smooth Talker*
*Disappearing Act*
*Carrot on a Stick*

Thanks Malevolent needed to keep track of it, a lot of scams run in the securities thread so an unfortunate addition comes every now and then.

Added Basic to that list as your post reminded me to add CreativeX aka Eric although I already nominated him here and a few others
It looks like a cross listing might be needed with the other thread based on how many Bitcoins were lost.

Mircea popescu - price manipulation on his ridiculous exchange and hyperactive trolling/sabatauge of every bitcoin entity out there. Not exactly scam, per se but such terrible ethics and underhanded business practices I think he deserves a mention

*plus he is so arrogant, including him here will drive him crazy lol

I vote Mircea Popescu. Same reasons.
Him for *Smooth Talking* award as well Smiley

I vote for Danny Brewster, because of how legit and full of potential his service seemed.
Other than Karpeles, no other CEO on that list has had as much media coverage before deciding to become a trainwreck in a few days.

It's hard to beat Karpeles after he lost so much... especially how he's still on Twitter posting random shit just to piss people off

Please add BITVPS as a whole, though it's difficult to understand who exactly owned it when.
