I doubt anyone here will take any significant action. There have been situations like this in the past... who remembers the pirateat40 (Trendon Shavers) scam? We're coming up on the 1 year anniversary as a matter of fact. He scammed the community for something like 500,000+ BTC. His name, address, phone, picture, and everything were posted here. Nothing happened to him... I think one guy called his dad, but that was the worst that this community was able to muster. Cheesy

He stole 500k BTC?

Holy shit thats like 60,000,000. Why the hell didn't anyone do anything right now?

did you hear about the time that guy paid $1m for a pizza with 10k bitcoins?

Yeah but that's not stealing them.

I understand the guy who sold the bitcoins could be pissed, but that was his own fault.

I just don't understand why no one is going after this guy Tongue

The guy who took the bitcoins is not the topic of this thread and it wasn't USD 60m when it happened at all was sort of my point.

The guy this thread is about had a litecoin pool that failed, i think, and he just never paid any of the wallet to the miners. Sounds like about 3k LTC - Barely even enough money for me to go to him and chat over a cup of coffee.

I wasn't part of pireateat40's scam or this guy's fail, either. I was just chuckling at how mention of old bitcoin stories always leads to someone doing the math at today's prices.

If I recall the story pirateat40 did some reparations, and/or still is but I can't be bothered to forum search atm.

Yeah, but those 3k LTC nick took could be worth $150k in a year or so.

Hopefully he won't get away with this.

Or nothing.
So how are you going to count how much he took?
Last month price?
Yesterday price?
Today price?
Tomorrow wet dream price?

You guys can only cry over spilled milk. Signs were here not that long ago. I quit his pool when he first dip in accounts and took some coins from everybody. If you continued mining on his pool after this or just started without researching about pool in here - it was your own risk. When this first thing happened few people mentioned that whoever keep more than 1LTC there is stupid for not transferring it to his own wallet.

I agree that he is a thief but what do you expect? There is no government to bail him out so none of us will ever see his/your coins.
