Yes, I am a little leery about these transaction fees being truly lost, but at this point, what does it really matter? This is such a shitshow every way you look at it.
I was thinking about this earlier today. On one hand, I feel the need to let people know when they are [allegedly] being scammed. That is my job.
But on the other hand, if someone is still investing in Paycoin, not sure anything could talk them out of it at this point.
I always think that the latest scandal will be the last scandal, but from a journalist's perspective, Paycoin is the gift that keeps giving. It is like the Terrell Owens of the Bitcoin world in that way, only without the unique talents.
People are still investing, I think this might be my last article on them. If everything that is out there already doesn't scare people away, there is no helping them and I would be better served looking for what is "next".
Still, have to finish off this story and get the end of "BurnGate" out into the non-bitcoin talk forum reading public.
On the interest rate: That will of course be mentioned to. As will the mention of non-replies about that issue.
Hey, stupid question: Why doesn't someone march over to their office in Connecticut and see who they can get to interview? Might be interesting to see who is there(50 employees) and get a real person to talk to? Offer a $50 bounty or something to do the legwork? I'd contribute.
