He said I owed him 0.2BTC if I wanted to be reinstated on coinchat.

TF is a thief and a liar. He would backstab his mother to get a bitcoin. If your negative trust is based on anything TF, I would naturally urge you to reconsider it. Undecided

At the time of the original dispute TF was somewhat reputable, although my rating is based on tspacepilot's words, and to a lesser extent, on the words of Blazr (who is someone who I very much trust). However as I said in my previous post, I can confirm that tspacepilot received money that he knows was not intended for him based solely on tspacepilot's words.

Based on the overall facts, I think that both the .2 and .5 BTC amounts would be reasonable amounts to believe that tspacepilot received that he should not have received. Although both of these amounts require TF's words to be somewhat believed (although the conclusion that tspacepilot received money he shouldn't have is not based on TF's words). If I really wanted to, then I could look at the blockchain closely to get a more solid figure that tspacepilot received, however I don't see any real point to this as tspacepilot has previously indicated that he has zero interest in repaying what is not rightfully his.

I would hope that you agree that the amount of money stolen should not matter when deciding if someone is a scammer or not. If someone stole a penny or a million dollars, they would equally be deserving of a negative rating (although someone who stole larger amounts should probably never have a negative rating removed....depending on the circumstances...while someone who repaid the single stolen penny should have the negative removed).

I would argue that unless tspacepilot were to come out and say that he received x amount of bitcoin, and can document that he sold some kind of goods/services to TF/coinchat for that same amount of bitcoin, then his situation is almost exactly the same as that of KoS (KoS received money that he should not have and refused to repay it).

I would say the primary difference between tspacepilot and KoS is that tspacepilot is only trolling me (although he has recently extended his trolling to panthers), while KoS trolls a much larger audience. (the person who KoS stole from is also not a scammer, however I don't think who was stolen from makes a difference)
