hey guys,

Let's make one thing clear... I do NOT have the BTC from this group buy. I never did. JohnK was the escrow and he has everything. He will be around soon, I don't know where he went. I do not have the chips from this group buy either .... that's why we are being refunded.

That's not the issue.  The issue is that you went AWOL when shit hit the fan.  Your "facilitation" fee was not earned nor do I think it is deserved.  Do you disagree?  I make no judgment on your part; things happen.  But I don't feel that you earned your fee.  If you believe you have earned it, feel free to make your case.  I imagine you probably won't find a lot of support here as your absence caused a large amount of distress for many of us.

Edit: I believe are entitled to a refund just like everyone else.  But we paid a "fee" of 1% to you for organizing and facilitating this group buy, which you failed to do.  THAT is what I feel you are not entitled to.


I agree with this sentiment. If we reward Ragin for poorly running a group buy it sends the wrong message. There should be negative repercussions for not adequately organizing a group buy and causing distress among its members. Ragin's fees should rollover to pay JohnK.

Exactly, a lot of people had to take time out of their hands to get this going back on track with you totally gone. The fact that you are back on after everything I heard from prodigits7 (which made you sound unfit for communication online or otherwise) is quite unsettling to me. Additionally, you gave chips that weren't yours to prodigits7. I'd have more sympathy for you if you came on at any point before the checkbooks were opened, but I really feel you should pay for the escrow fee and bigbeninlondon and I's work.
