Erik is an ethical business man and was very professional in his operation of SatoshiDice. Let this be an example to anyone who believes that we need regulations and the coercive power of the state in order to have commerce.

Erik, nice job this is really cool and I think that the SatoshiDICE experiment is one for the history books.

I agree that this went exceptionally good although I don't see how this should be proof of anything.
Even if this most recent move was not just a step to anonymize his 100% share in the company which would at least be a bit delicate for the other share holders, Erik had no big incentive to do harm to the customers and share holders.

Consider for a second Pirate@40 intended to pay back every last Satoshi and he was just stupid. Things going bad makes people forget about moral when money is at stake and I guess Erik would not be an exception. Taking an exit when things go really well is a smart move to not get tempted when things go bad.

Hey, if you were the owner of S.dice and had to pay taxes for the millions you make but then could sell to some undisclosed third party who paid you well, wouldn't that be great? Wouldn't it be even greater if that undisclosed third party was yourself calling you from the dark net? Wouldn't it be great if everybody had learned the rules of the game and was just playing happily ever after even if your public website crashes and burns? Some watch dogs might check if s.dice still plays by its rules by finding it on tor to check the revealed secrets and sound the whistle if it didn't, but why would it? I don't see how this service could run into any trouble apart from the bigger thieves (read "government") shooting at this small fish.
