Why can't theymos just check Werner's IP and see if it equals Garr's? Yeah yeah Tor etc, but if Garr was this careless, he's probably more careless.
Gar's identity is not in question -- he both admitted & apologized.
TL;DR: theymos' reply: shilling and socks perfectly valid here.
Yah, that's accurate. Community does the community in general lack ethics or is it just the mods?
What's up with this community's need to be scammed? From Pirate to Spongebob to Zhou Tong to the numerous "securities" schemes . . . is it just that you all need something to spend your bitcoin on? If I ever needed fast cash, I would just come to this board and post an "investment" opportunity. Not only would I make a bunch of money off of idiots, if I came out and apologized, over half of the community would think I'm a great guy.
Maybe something about bitcoin is making everyone go a little bit 'dark side'
