You can't force yourself into a mediating position, nor is mediating by ultimatums likely to be productive. You're supposed to be investigating.
You're right.
I am officially dropping this investigation and am releasing all parties of any obligations. BadBear will now decide this, if he wants.
For what it's worth, I think declaring this situation to just not be resolvable by the forums "scammer tag" mechanism is a reasonable resolution as far as the forums goes.
Yeah, and we do that all the time. This is why the Intersango guys don't have a tag. However, in my mind, this is absolutely resolvable with the scammer tag since either Nefario needs to actually use a proper claim system or Goat needs to suck it up. It's out of my hands now, though.
Hopefully GLBSE's future customers will take into account the fact that GLBSE reserves the right to totally abandon its obligation to preserve their ownership interest by making a decision to delist the asset and will exercise this right if it feels like it with no obligation to explain or defend that decision.
Absolutely. In fact, they should have taken it into account to start with and DEMANDED that what would happen be listed in the Terms of Service.
