Yes, my point being, what are you actually going to do when you meet this guy? Do you seriously think you will be able to get bitcoins out of him?
In my head I see someone being shaken till Bitcoins fall out of him but I suspect this isn't how it happens in real life.
Excuse me as I don't know the history of this story, but isn't this what the police are for? Should be possible to prove fraud in this case?
But, this is bitcoin.
Even the police could have the world's biggest pile of $5 wrenches, but I highly doubt even they would be able to get your bitcoins back.
