Hi all,

Just my 2 cents again, but there is a lot of speculation about this being an inside job or that TF is sitting on a huge pile of loans that will be paid leaving him a millionaire.

First, I don't think this is a long con since if it was, why stick around, pay back a large amount of coins (even if it is pennies on the dollar) and let us all rail at him. This guy is an arrogant programmer with poor interpersonal skills. He is not a businessman and has no idea of his missed opportunity here.

Also, he isn't as good a programmer as he thought since he left a gaping hole in his security and then in his arrogance didn't move to protect his, and our, assets once the hack started. Criminal negligence, really.

Also, the information that came out after the hack makes it look like CL was in trouble even before the hack. Probably because of the run up in price, but ASICMINER shares were not proving to be the security that he, and we, thought they would be. The people he lent to were short on BTC themselves and became hard to contact and hard to collect from. I think that TF was hoping to cover costs with new deposits and then get everything sorted in the future, which is how a ponzi schemes get started.

The hack just short circuited the process. I am not sure how much a lawsuit is going to recoup for us, but at the very least we will find out what was really going on the backend of CL and Inputs and, most importantly, TF's identity. Someone who has done this should not be trusted in the community again
