So many people seem absolutely convinced that MNW has gone over to the Dark Side. However, I saw his "facebook" youtube video, and it reinforces my conviction that he was just doing an epic prank for the betterment of the community.

Can you please explain to me how siding with pirateat40, starting a bet to shut up all the people spreading FUD about ponzi's, and taking attention away from all the real scammers, betters the community? Please?

Ya know, I don't actually believe he was siding with pirate, at least not with any formal agreement or meaningful arrangement. It certainly hooked a lot of foolish fish though.

Did you not read the OP of the bet, or the many discussions with him afterwards? He plainly stated that he was sick of "Team Ponzi" spreading FUD and attacking these HYIP businesses as ponzis without proof. The whole bet was "if you believe they are a ponzi, put your money where your mouth is," and at first, many of those who "bet" did so not to make a quick buck, but to make their point, which was that they believed BTCS&T was a scam. Maybe we were reading or understanding something differently *shrug*

How many people in "team ponzi" took that bet, 100% expecting it to be a real wager, "scouts honor?" How many people would buy this bridge I've got to sell?
