genesis-mining mined with hardware that wouldn't find blocks
250BTC or more was lost by all the miners due to this
genesis-mining should have returned the BTC the pool paid them, for mining with hardware that wouldn't find blocks, and that should have been distributed to the miners
slush hid this ... I wonder why
Little odd to see you in here spreading FUD, thought a little better of you frankly. Slush *to my knowledge* was perfectly up front when the block-withholding was confirmed. Insinuating he somehow "owes" the miners due to a bad actor withholding blocks is a bit of a strange way of looking at it.
Utmost of respect to the work you do, but I have left the arena WIDE open for someone to provide the evidence behind these accusations and there is yet to be someone willing or able to provide it.

lulz the pool luck was well beyond bad in December ... for over 220 blocks ... way obvious that something was wrong back then
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=77000.msg13482822#msg13482822As for 'owing' ... well the company that caused it is known, but he hid that detail and no one here I bet even knew it before I posted that.
But ... he let them off scot-free to keep the other miner's BTC and hid their name ... or he didn't let them off scot-free and kept the BTC that was returned.
Which one? No idea. Doesn't matter which, both are inappropriate ...
