I'm more worried about someone figuring out where he lives and stealing the computer that contains the offline wallet.
That is not what you should be concerned about...

CrazyGuy made the mistake of not being concerned about this:

He's an outlier. Would you like hundreds of links to people who made the mistake of not being concerned about scammers? How about Pirate, who was so trusted as to have an OTC rating in the several-hundreds?

I didn't say I wasn't concerned about scammers.  If dooglus ends up being a scammer, then I assume responsibility for my loss because I chose to trust the wrong person.  There are ways to reduce the risk, I just don't think raising the commission accomplishes this, and dooglus being a scammer is not the only risk that investors are assuming.

Another possibility:  What if the authorities decide his site is illegal and decide to confiscate the computer with the offline wallet?  Are investors protected from such a scenario?

I can only speak for myself.  But, the reason I haven't invested more is because of physical security concerns, not because I'm worried about getting scammed by dooglus.
