Yes, but pirate didnt say, I am taking your money and not giving it back.  

Tradefortress said that here is an IOU I WILL NOT HONOR.  

Maybe you should read TradeFortress' posts on his OP on the Newbie forum.   He did not say "here is an IOU I WILL NOT HONOR."  He said

B) I won't defraud/scam you out of any money. Yes, you can convert the BTC I send you to real BTCs. For continued discussion, send me a PM, responses will be deleted from this point.

I PM'd him to ask him how he would deal with redeeming IOUs so that anyone could convert his IOUs into BTC.  He wrote...




So in summary he misled people, while counting on their ignorance of how Ripple works, into letting him put them in harm's way so he and his confederates could steal their legitimate IOU's from reputable gateways.
