Besides that... i agree it will be hard to get an escrow for that amount of money. It's fearsome to hold that much i imagine. And even established escrows might run since it might be that that amount of money is enough to throw their morals over board.
I disagree with this part. My personal integrity has no dollar limit to it. If someone offered me $1 billion, and had it, in cash, right now, asking me to do something I disagree with, it would affect nothing. I don't care if others could live with my decision -- I care that I wouldn't be able to. And to me, stealing by using someone's trust is the ultimate act of betrayal. I wouldn't even steal from someone I absolutely hate, much less someone I don't.
You are right. There are certainly honest people on the forum. For example dooglus, who held thousands of bitcoins on his dice-site and he paid them all back when he decided to stop using bitcoins. Or some escrows held thousands of coins over time or at one time and they paid it back.
Saying that... i'm with you, i never would scam, regardless of the amount. BUT. We might be made this way. That does not mean that all others are so too. I mean you have read the scam accusation against Maidak? Once a very trusted legendary member. Then he decided to take on deals he knew he could not solve. He still owes thousands of dollars now.
And there are others i know that would turn scam the moment they would have enough coins.
Only because you and me would never do that... there are others that would.
