If Marcello was telling the truth

If Homero was telling the truth
If Chris was telling the truth

See a pattern here?

I guess if "Marcello" resurfaced again with some sob story about his hardships there would be no shortage of suckers willing to give it another go. SMH.

The only pattern I see is that you don't have much credibility yourself. I remember you defending LTCgear. That didn't turn out well. Being willing to give people a chance isn't the same as trusting them.

Wow, straight-up bullshit now? Where did I "defend" LTCGear?

For the record I never called anyone at GAW "Homero" or did I ever say "if they were telling the turth" about them. With GAW I was pretty sure it was a fractional mining scam, it just turned out to be far worse than I though.

I didn't say you literally said that. My point is that there are apologists for pretty much every scam and you happened to be one for Homero, Chris, and Marcello despite overwhelming evidence to their scamminess and way past their expiration date.

Even now, three years after the fact - fractional mining, really? The hashlet scheme was a ponzi scam. The SEC even says so. Why do you need to keep inventing new rationalizations?

It was also clear that the GAW leadership wasn't being honest. I did get burned a little there, but mostly because I got too greedy at the end and waited too long to sell. At least in that case the leaders are likely going to pay. I will credit you for being completely correct about GAW miners although you were quite hostile about it.

My guess if that is Marcello was real, he is probably dead. I don't believe he would have any credibility coming back a 3rd time. However some people would try a new scrypt.cc because of greed. Even once scrypt.cc quit honoring withdraws people kept investing there. It was crazy as there wasn't any doubt at that time that it was a scam. I have to admit I'm curious about what kind of sob story would be told.

Keep in mind there are many ponzi schemes that people are involved in everyday, many of those are ran by governments. For example in the US there is OASI (Social Security). There can be cases made that even fiat currencies or stocks are ponzi schemes. I'm not claiming those are scams, but the concept of a ponzi is often misused and only applied to scammers. In reality there are many scheme's that depend on new money following in to support some taking money out. On the flip side, something doesn't have to be a ponzi to be a scam. There are many kinds of scams.

I have no problem with labeling scrypt.cc a scam as it clearly was a scam, I just don't know the details about it. I'm not going to claim I know the details just to make some self righteous clowns happy.

Ever hear of "two wrongs don't make a right"? Relevance fallacy?

I'm sorry if you perceive my laughing at militant stupidity and shameful lies - both present in copious amounts in the GAW drama, as well as in this thread - as being hostile. It's easy to avoid that "hostility" though - don't be a raging dumbass and/or a lying piece of shit.

You jumped in slinging mud, don't be so self-righteous when you end up with being covered by some of it.

You used maintain payouts from various cloud mining sites and you were quite happy with the LTCgear results. We went around about the results on LTCgear vs scrypt.cc. At the time I was sure LTCgear was a fractional mining scheme which is a type of ponzi but wasn't sure about scrypt.cc. Anyway it may not have been a direct endorsement, but LGTgear probably was a much larger scam than scrypt.cc by amounts invested. However both were scams in the end. Unfortunately the pre-2014 posts seem to be gone after a rather large bitcointalk crash that occurred so I have to go by memory here.

As for GAW ... you were correct but you were also a jerk about it. Just for redundant clarification, fractional mining is just a type of ponzi, all it means is there is some real mining but not enough to cover what is being sold. It is similar to how banks can lend money with fractional reserves. However in the case of bank lending, that is controlled by the FED in the USA, basically government backed. I understand you believe you were justified, I was just turned off by your attacks and joining in with others that were very vulgar at the time.

I'm more than willing just to leave you alone but you decided you needed to start flaming me again for no valid reason. If you have real information about scrypt.cc then please share it rather than just random attacks. There is nothing wrong with exposing scams, there is a great deal wrong with random personal attacks.
