are you really that dense? how could a hacker know that master-P doesn't have a backup? how could a hacker know that master-P won't report the hack for two weeks? which part of this can possibly be "the perp covering his ass".
0.4 BTC per week
that's the whole drama for you, enjoy it for the next 50+ weeks
nice try making it sound that calling master-P out on his lies is somehow hindering victims chances when the scammer is laughing in your face
What makes you think the money was the target? Maybe the actual target was Master-P or the forum. Maybe they were willing to risk it for the entertainment value of making you all cannibalize one of your most trusted members while they get away unnoticed. That sure sounds like hacker humor to me, but it doesn't matter. None of the crap you are spouting is of consequence to this situation.
I am not stopping anyone from "calling master-P out on his lies", I am asking uninvolved parties such as yourself to calm the fuck down and let the people actually involved try to work this out before you shit all over everything to get your compulsive fix. BTW watching some one make payments for 40 weeks sounds pretty boring, I don't how how much drama that counts for. Also the thief didn't take anything from me, I am freely volunteering my time to help the victims here, so what exactly does he have to laugh in my face about, and why should I give a fuck? The victims here get back what they can, and they can't do that if you jackals string him up first regardless of the validity of his claims.
P.S. I am not going to bother replying to you any more.
Lol I am in this for a very small amount, and it was collateral damage so to speak. I donated 0.01 btc to Yahoo when he was soliciting funds, so I do have an interest in this. I'm done raging against Master-P and I'm not expecting to get reimbursed for a few dollars. As I said, I'm skeptical of his story and I think peon showed pretty good evidence for an intent to scam.
