We met, inside a coffee shop, introduced myself, asked him if he had done trades before.  He said he had done several.  I wanted to make sure he was familiar with how the site worked and then to see if he had any questions about bitcoins in general.  I released the coins, and we started to shake hands as he was handing me the envelope.  He jerked the envelope out of my hand and took off running.

Every person I have met has been awesome and excited about bitcoins.  So I let my guard down.  Showed up wearing flip flops.  I started to pursue after he had already taken 3 steps, but then realized I would not be able to run in flippers for very long and stopped after about 100 yards.


The worst part is that I had my 14 year old daughter with me.  There is a special place in hell for people like this!
