I lost 0.026 Btc to him.
 
I think The Warning is up there for a reason ->: You are in the Gambling section. You are likely to eventually lose any money that you gamble/"invest".

i'm just glad i started with a small amount, 0.026 which is a pity compared to 3BTC (i can't even wonder how ranlo must be feeling) ...

but when you're gambling/Investing the risk is there, adityaa Could have lost 0.85 of his college fees if the ponzi could get eventually bigger.

The lesson is: always play it safe, do a background check and Don't gamble more than you can afford to lose.

And, If you ever see this Type of Scam running with such an obvious proof Tell us all before anything else happens, Rather than calling everyone stupid after it already happened.

...I just wonder if his 20$ "Ebook" -> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1843488.msg18934591#msg18934591 includes a lesson for running ponzis. maybe we can convince his vouchers to share us the method so we can "try" to recover our losses. (just an idea)
