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?
If this is an exit scam then it took that long maybe in the try to collect more coins, but not enough came together.
I agree... escrowing is normally not something worth your time. It's kind of an idealistic job to protect the forum members from scammers. Or at least make it hard for them. I see how you think about quitting, i admit i have this thought not seldom too, it simply costs a lot of time. Though i think i will continue because i like when people are happy at the end of a transaction. I feel like i could make bitcoin area a little bit safer and getting a tip is nice too.
Though of course it's no job to be paid for the time invested.
I know youre trusted a lot and i think people that are really trusted and proved it for a long time are needed more than ever. Don't give up!
