Thinking with all this drama now is a good time to get out of the escrow biz though. It is not worth anyone's time who does it. I still do not think we have the entire story on this. Scamming for 23BTC just does not seem like an exit scam. I would think if he wanted to get more he could have?
When you look at it from his perspective, it's not like he didn't try. He was stalling almost everyone who used him since day D. I'm the one who popped the bubble. He was definitely aiming sky high until someone finally does what I did. Which I hopefully did soon enough?
