An investigation has begun by one of the many agencies that this ordeal will be brought to the attention of.

Inquiring minds wish to know.

This is so sad.

I hate kids.

This literally makes me weep for humanity.

OP, please do tell us of HOW Mc_lovin has scammed you out of ANY money, as from reading this forum post, I see nothing that he has done to harm you. All I see is someone that is attention seeking and is willing to do demoralized things such as try to shut an honest man's website down, just so that you can get a couple of dollars. You make me sick.

I myself am not that old, and it is something that I am proud of to be young and some heavily involved in Bitcoins, however it is people like you that give people like me a hard time of trusting in the Bitcoin community.

So yes, I feel that thanks is in order and on behalf of you I shall apologize to Mc_lovin for the UNNECESSARY trouble which you have caused him.

Thanks, Matt.

Here's the story:

Some guy ran some "advertising" site, which paid nothing at all and which nobody used. Some of the nobody who used it were owed nothing by the site for the absent ads that it didn't run. With me so far?

Good! So the server bills exceeded the owner's allowance, and he decided to "sell it", in the following manner: somebody takes over the site but he keeps the Bitcoin balance supposedly accrued for himself. Sort of like, you know, a bankrupt state corporation privatizing, except scaled down 1:10,000,000,000 or thereabouts. All this process involved a deluge of words inversely proportional, I think the announcement was almost as long as one of usagi's introductory posts.

That person is this mc_lovin/Richard Vialoux character, who is really famous because he came up with this idea of creating a Global Scam Exchange asset which consisted of pooling money to buy dubious PMBs and then using the dividends to buy lottery tickets. This plan was warmly received by the collection of retards inhabiting this forum, and was going to go places except GLBSE imploded about fifty hours later, under the weight of similarly well conceived, thought through plans (plus Goat's Pirate passthrough toxic waste).

So now: some people have a claim for about half a cigarette butt against either this guy or that guy, and they're vigorously prosecuting it to the fullest extent available under internet law. This means they're emailing "one of the many agencies" each day.

That about sums up the situation.

Write a book.

I would love to read it. But there are still wild and crazy ideas in store. We are on about chapter 3 right now on 'The Bitcoin Chronicles of Richard Vialoux'. I can't wait for the movie to come out.
