The difference is Master-P only had good reputation for about a year. OGNasty and Blazed have been here much longer and have been trusted with much greater amounts. [...]

So what you're telling me is OGNasty and Blazed are even more trustworthy than Master-P? Shocked

Is such a thing even possible?

I don't think it has been entirely ruled out, just that it is unlikely he got hacked.

I suppose. Wasn't he into crypto and stuff? Are OGNasty and Blazed any better at securing their boxen?

Actually yes, I would trust Blazed and OGNasty any day over Master-P. Of course it is possible that any human being has a change of heart or circumstances that will lead them to scam, but not only are they both very technologically proficient, they have had chances to steal MUCH MUCH more. This is why I am an advocate of researching your trading partners and doing P2P trades without escrow. Taking smaller risks to test out your trading partner is what REAL LIVE TRUST NETWORKS are made of. Because you can't ever really tell if you can trust some one until you give them a chance to rip you off and they CHOOSE not to. A repeated pattern of them not abusing these circumstances is what builds real actual human trust.

Consider that risk a down payment on an actual useful trust network not controlled by politics and kickbacks but your own knowledge of the people you trade with. I try to avoid escrow if at all possible, and my reputation is usually sufficient to convince people it is ok to send payment to me first, however occasionally people refuse to trade without escrow (because people pound into their head that anyone refusing escrow is a scammer usually). When I am forced to use escrow I use OGNasty.

P.S. What is the plural form of Ox? Oxen. What is the plural form of box? Boxen? THE ONE IN THE MIDDLE IS THE SUN!
