If he really was in financial problems why don't just ask for a loan?

Well if the problems were great enough he wouldn't have means to pay back, right? So scamming becomes a viable option in that case. But it looks for all intents and purposes that Master-P took out an interest-free loan from unwilling lenders. I still can't figure out a good narrative for what happened here. He's obviously paying the bitcoin back, albeit slowly, so he has it and has not spent it. Maybe because he got scared? I just shake my head at this.

He did get scared (larger payouts started only after the doxing threats) and he hasn't paid all of it back yet. So far there is no indication of this being anything other than a scam that turned sour, and he's still trying to drag this out. Perhaps hoping that some victims won't be able to sign a message for TECSHARE and get the dox.

I would also suspect that this is not his only scam so he might be inclined to pay 100% back to avoid further digging in his past.

Just my speculation of course.

Makes a lot of sense to me and i keep popping by to see how he's doing paying people back.
If he's waiting fro people to forget and wander off it's not happening.

This case is a precedent setting incident and may affect things later.. 2 cents
