A great day!

But also do not forget:
Without a government "service" like the SEC,
nothing would have happened!
That is pointed towards some tea party supporters here who would like to have no government... 
Don't be a douche. If there was no government monopoly on the use of force he'd already have been hanged.
and for those that say none of us would have done anything to him - you're crazy. I put a guy in the hospital when I was 16 over $600. Thing is, I didn't have any money in BTCST myself - I'm not that stupid to believe in 7% weekly returns.
I am not crazy. Btw, I also did not have any money in BTCST.
There would have been more than enough possibilities besides "hanging" or harm him in any physical way, to make this guy learn a serious lesson and handle this case face-to-face.
But nobody (please tell me if I am wrong) took the initiative to meet him in person AFTER it was clear that he ran away with the money. Everybody just jumped on the lazy internet-detective-I-snoop-with-google-in-his-life-and-try-and-find-a-clue-while-I-am-sitting-with-a-beer-in-my-deck-chair-and-let-the-sun-shine-on-my-belly instead of taking an inexpensive domestic flight to TX.
Again:
Without the investigations by SEC, NOTHING would have happened. Niente!
