This is why we will get a scammer tag because we cant possibly make the victims whole.
You'll be just fine then - Donald, Patrick and Amir are still scammer tag-free despite their victims not being made whole.
And it's not because is hasn't been asked numerous times.
I will not scammer-tag great people over something like this. Genjix et al. may have acquired legal responsibility for Bitcoinica's security, but they didn't purposefully lose the BTC, and I only blame them for not being more careful legally.

Wishful thinking seems rampant.
Thick as
thieves... amateurs.
Now we can see why they did not get scammer tags. A precedent didn't want to be set. A precedent of taking responsibility.
To me a scammer is someone that does not live up to their word or their integrity. They will find any excuse to get out of responsibility and always casts blame on someone else. A scammer won't accept culpability. A scammer does not need to willfully defraud someone. They may do so unintentionally, but what defines them as a scammer is their inability to right the wrong.
