So the guy who started the "Sorry and thank you, Pirate" thread is to be trusted?
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=101345.msg1108077#msg1108077Now that Pirateat40 closed down his operatations thanks to all the fud that was going on and growing on the forum, I expect everyone that spreads this fud, accused and insulted Pirate and the people that supported him to apologize.
Not only did Pirate brought us a great opportunity for investors (once in a lifetime actually), he did help stabilise and grow steadily bitcoin price, volume exchange, and thus contributed to the success of bitcoin. For that, Pirate, I want to thank you. You've done a wonderful work, and I hope you're stay around here.
Now, apologies on.
This speaks volumes about the poor judgement and lack of common sense of the OP. Someone that delusional even after concrete facts have surfaced cannot be trusted to run a potentially very large and complicated business with a huge amount of money at stake a la Bitcoinica. Exercise extreme caution and only use small amounts of btc you can afford to lose. You have been warned.
