The great thing about the email dump is that it starts back when I'm almost 100% certain GAW Miners was a legit company. They actually hosted physical miners that people bought. They dropshipped, sure, but they were upfront about it. There was a little C&D bullying, but nothing like what came later.

Garza looked like he tried to be a good CEO, too. He was pissed when he got word of customer service fails in his company. He educated his executives. He had something called a business plan.

Then, they decided to make the hosted miners virtual. He just took that and owned being a scammer. Suddenly, the emails are about bullying people or guilting people into shutting up or dropping claims. He started cutting pay and overpromising equity. It's like once they decided to lie to their customers, all bets were off, and everything became part of a game to extract as much value from everyone as possible.

He's just an amazing character. He deserves a biopic more than an episode of American Greed. He got so brazen so quickly, and he's been able to maintain it for so long, that this scam deserves a place in scam history.
