Please, Jehovah, let it not be true that the three amigos are going to Las Vegas, in essence saying, "We got ours. Fuck You!" I, for one, would not advocate violence, especially on a public forum, but I ran into Jerry (maybe spelled with a G, not sure) the other day, and he's not one happy camper. I'm not sure what he had in Bitcoinica, but my best guess is $10,000. That's the figure one of the other guys who hangs out at the restaurant (which I miss frequenting on a regular basis) once told me I believe.
For a guy who didn't have one red Satoshi in Bitcoinica, here's my fallout. I'm out over, $10K AND COUNTING, due to having to move three warehouses full of lumber. Two due to a lead issue, and the other due to zoning, thanks to Jerry's wrath. EPA fines are forthcoming. In the process of trying to find out the truth as to who was behind Bitcoinica, my ignore button is labeled a bright orange. I don't have the heart to go to Chicago and try to convince a client of mine that owns five restaurants (used to be only three, till recently) to accept Bitcoin as a payment option.
Do you see the fallout out due to fuckin' mess? And to think you guys get to go to Las Vegas for a conference, drink, fuck and gamble, while your past clients are out a half a million dollars.
Therefore, I ask: WHAT THE FUCK DOES IT TAKE TO BE LABELED A SCAMMER ON THIS FORUM? Reneging on a 10 BTC loan? Jesus Mother Fuckin' Christ!

Having your name on the bitcoin developers list probably helps avoid it
