Re: Dzeros has been found, funds locked, how should we proceed?
I would like to hear further comments from dooglus on this issue
Alex asked for people's thoughts. I posted mine, but haven't seen him reply to my post yet. I said what I thought about the situation. Basically I don't think it's right to confiscate coins that a user has trusted you with, even if he does have a history of scamming.
Maybe it's legal to confiscate his funds according to some corrupt law or other but that doesn't make it right. People trust Alex to run a decent operation. If they see him refusing to pay out winning players just because he has found a legal loophole that makes it "legal" even when those winnings were won fair and square then I suspect he may start losing some customers. I'm surprised this even needs pointing out.
wish you were right on this, however we all know how questionable behaviour turned out for dean/betking/prc. it didn't affect the site at all and with the shrinking competition I doubt Alex has to fear much for his buisness.
I also admit that seeing a bully/scammer like dzeros getting bullied himself is a little bit satisfying.
Keeping the funds is most likely morally wrong though probably legally possible under costa rican gambling law. If I were Alex I would either donate the funds or get in contact with costa rican police and simply sent them the funds with further explanation of what went down. Then give dzeros the case number/contact.
What's really funny is how dzeros always comes up with his ponzis ToS for allowing him to scam people, but rejecting the same argument made by Alex.
just my 0.05 xmr
A ToS that says there is a high risk of losing money that is invested vs a ToS that says they will just take your money are two different things bud.
please elaborate, since I have serious doubts that you understand the point being made.
What he is saying is that the games I operated very clearly stated that if you invest you may get paid or you may not, as it is very risky using these services. Anyone who used my games knew that some people would win an some people would lose which is why the games were promoted in the gambling/investor based games section
Alex's TOS on the other hand blatantly says "I can steal your coins at any time, for no reason" as he himself highlighted earlier. Which is ridiculous.
ah, yes yes, look at all the proofs about your former ToS you're giving.
