Food for thought: do you know who MNW is?
I know his name. And I also know he thinks he is out of touch because he apparently lives somewhere in South Korea. Spain and the USA are hardly comparable in terms of reachability.
On the side note, although Matthew scammed many people with his "bet",
he didn't receive one satoshi out of it, so the damages are limited. But discussing this would be clearly off-topic here.
I will repeat myself nonetheless. If I break your window, I don't receive one satoshi from it.
lol why is anyone pissed?
everyone knew he wasn't going to pay up.
no one lost money.
and he got the scammer tag.
probably a lot of people's bets were for 10 times more bitcoin then they actually had, you know just for the off chance that MWN is retarded and did pay out.
I bet (heh) that people did lose money.
1. Investor notices the bet thread
2. Investor notices TYGRR-BOND-P is trading at 0.1 BTC
3. Investor buys 1 share
4. Investor bets 1 BTC
5. MNW exposes the "loophole"
6. Investor is forced to sell his share again, at a loss of 0.04 BTC.
Just because MNW didn't gain doesn't mean others didn't lose. If I break your window, neither of us gain. I'd still be an asshole though, especially if there's no recourse you have against me.
