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.
(Sorry for posting PM.)Wishful thinking seems rampant.
So it's OK not to make the community whole as long as you're "great people"? It's just fine to walk away from your responsibility if you didn't lose people's funds on purpose, even if they got lost as a result of you failing to do something and you could actually do something to assist people to recover their funds but you refuse to do so because you're too busy covering your own ass to give a shit about the people who lost funds.
If that's the kind of "ethics" which are going to be applied to scammer tags around here, then they're absolutely meaningless because they're not going to be applied to people based on their actions but on the basis of shared ideologies and personal friendships. Clearly, Nefario only got the tag because those who issued it feel personally betrayed and pissed off, not because of the impact its closure is having on users and asset issuers.
So you wont get a scammer tag if you use the government protection a corporation affords and it proceeds to lose everyones coins?
One wonders if bitcoinica would have the tag only if theymos was personally affected
