If it were not a crime in the US to advocate the use of physical force, I'd be all about it. It's shocking that I've not heard of anyone solving the pirate or glbse fiascoes with physical force.

Well, we are all pussies. And we all have better things to do. No one has lost their livelihood to these scams.

But effectively, legal threats are also threats of violence. And we haven't even begun submitting official complaints yet.

I'm pretty sure I'd kick him in the nuts if I saw him though. I'd be fine with the assault charge.

I think I'd have to hear his side of the story first. However, apparently it won't be possible if we don't go and ask him personally.

I fail to see your argument that legal threats are also threats of violence. If they were, I'd just threaten to shoot people. But, it turns out threatening to sue someone IS legal, and threatening to shoot them is NOT.

I also think you underestimate the amounts of money people had invested in the various scams. PLENTY of people have lost their livelihoods to these scams Seen any of the "long term offers" in the lending section? More than a few people were completely wiped out by these scams.

I'm sure his side of the story has no bearing on whether I'd like to kick him in the nuts. I'd kick him in the nuts for non-communication, not just non-payment! Wink

Alas. I can't afford to travel to James, and kick him, and I can't afford a lawyer (to kick him?) .... So...I'll just hope James wants to repay / sent info....just like I'll hope pirate wasn't a thief, and that there's some money left for the bitcoinica liquidator to distribute. GLWT, huh?
