So Joe's probably gone, is there a chance that this project can be picked up by another developer? There's plenty of smart guys hanging around here and the project is open source now, right?
I still have a hard time believing that this guy is a total scammer, since we know his name and face... that would mean blowing his reputation and career for the rest of his life for what, a new car or something...
yeah, I think we all know there are people who know how to be very persuasive when negotiating. Joe didn't make enough from his scams to go dark 24/7/365 for the rest of his days. I think someone might pay him a visit one day, so this probably isn't finished yet
