You idiots are little children trying to play an adult game. Forget ethics for a minute; do you think it's legal to just steal from someone because they may have scammed someone else? Not in the US it isn't, and I'm betting that's true for most countries where theft is against the law. What's the problem here, again?
God this community is so full of dishonesty, it's unreal.
$45,000 is not a small amount. I'm offering to make an agreement with alex, I think we all know that the way this situation is not the right course of action, and this can have many repucussuons to him and his site. I am not making any threats, though obviously I'm not going to dismiss this matter if the decision is unfair or wrongly decided (such as confiscation or donation to himself or his investors, as that is theft whether alex thinks so or not)
