Sounds similar to what is happening with LTC Gear. The Beelievers don't want to admit they have been scammed. Delay tactic after delay tactic is used and the Beelivers lap it up like a ravenous dog.
What pisses me off about that scam is that they all seem to be on first name terms with the scammer. Whenever I see a post about it on either litecointalk or reddit they all refer to him as "Chris". "Chris is going to make an announcement soon" , "Chris is asking for more maintenance fees"
Fucking imbeciles. You just have to look at the ltcgear website to see what a sham it is.
What is even worse than people calling him Chris are the morons that call him "Bee" like he is their friend because his forum nickname is "Beekeeper."
Does a legendary thread like this one exist for the LTC Gear stuff? I might have Leo start looking in to that whole situation and seeing what turns up.
There are a few threads about this. one from
http://ltcgeartalk.net/https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=759743.4040and
https://www.reddit.com/r/ltcgear/there is also an Update-only thread on BTCtalk thread, you can see the reason why Chris's customers are so frustrated. Imagine not being paid for two months, and Chris's website had a script with a message saying "Update on the 6th of Jan", and then everyday for weeks, the script would advance it by 1 day.
Recently he popped up again, after 3 months or so of this, for a "Q & A" with the Litecoin Mods. (Does this sounds familiar? Seems everytime scammers want to extend time, there is a Q & A). It is a really interesting psychological puzzle when you read some of the posts responding to Chris. Some are pissed off and yell at him, which is understandable. Some are very very friendly, and very light on the phrasing, as if talking to a squirrel who might at one wrong word, hop away.
They are very scared Chris will run away or go back to his "delay tactics". Kind looks like Hashtalk forums in a mini-scale.
All Chris's posts have been very vague and blaming it on hacker's or problems that we cannot verify, or that there is proof of, yet the beilievers still hang on to his words, even though everything in the Q & A added up to more nothing, and more delays.
