Which means I have to follow the chain on who manages and runs it= TradeFortress. Personally never had any issues with him as he once loaned me 5 btc "of course I paid back with interest and in time." now that Inputs is down do you think Inputs was a scam?
My opinion that it was not intended as a long scam. Idea was great, execution was ok, everything was working, he paid quite a lod for ad space and other promotions. It would be interesting to look into TF's bookkeeping - how many BTC he got total, how many did he earn/lose in inputs before this event, how much will he probably lose by reputation damage.
Personally I do not believe it's a scam.
Also it's interesting what the thief will do with his btc - drop it fast or keep it?
The good (and bad, in this case) about Bitcoin is how easy it becomes to trace any transactions back to its source, and now the hacker has a whole lot of "marked" Bitcoins. It think it would take a fair bit of mixing before they can spend them freely.
