This is yet another ridiculous episode in Bitcoin history. Customer funds are supposed to be segregated. This is a law everywhere I know of for a good reason: because shit like this can and will happen. My biggest problem with the whole Bitcoin system right now is that it's full of scammers, amateur "entrepreneurs" pulling shit like this, and people who generally let greed get in the way of common sense and morality.

That's what I had in mind. I hardly know of any business in the bitcoin world that isn't a giant heap of a Scamshit. Pretending that it's always corrupted individuals, however doesn't address the problem sufficiently either. Maybe in 2011 you could think so. I wouldn't even talk about a community here, because that implies it's anything else than a wolf cave. Since all the crap in B(TC)S-world seems to be the rule rather than the exception I wanted to do something else than just pointing fingers. It's an existentialist idea, but what is broken here is not only the individual. It's systemic, and little to no different to why we saw the Banking crisis in 2008. It's the whole fucking culture. It's been devoured by greed. The market is all there is left. Why is that?

M4V3R is guilty alright. But I'm sure MPOE-PR is the last innocent and honest person around.
