What Dean did is obviously horrible. Loyce, thank you for the write-up. However, the way I see it, a part of the blame also falls into the hands of the victim. This wasn't a very clever or well thought out scam at all... any person, especially in the crypto world, who guarantees that a token won't fall below a certain point is probably scamming. I mean, the very idea is ridiculous. I feel very sorry for the people who lost money in this... although it was obvious, let it be a lesson to everyone not to fall for such blatant lies.
No one lost money in this (except me).
They claim to know people who say they have lost money but none of them have posted and none of them have been in contact with me which I'm sure if they did actually lose money or felt they had they would be in contact.
If he has the BKB he can't have lost money. If he sells or trades it and sells at a low price now then he would lose money but that would be his decision and I have explained how the new system works and that he should wait.
Instead he wants attention and just shouts scam (note Loyce didn't even buy tokens in the ico, he got them from bounty)
But it is not the concern of anyone in this forum who didn't own BKB from the original ICO.
Tbh i don't understand the point of this, before betking.io you had a different dice site with a bankroll of 1-2 million "i think" i don't know why you closed that and started an ico offering such a large amount of profits, and the old site had more players then you do now.
and before that you had pocketrocketscasino which wasn't no where near as big as these two, but imo it had the most potential. the "be the house feature" it was like moneypot 3-4 years before it was even created, and they where really popular in the beginning before they made a bunch of bad decisions.
So i can't understand how you went from "successful" to "losing money"
I'm sure if they did actually lose money or felt they had they would be in contact.I joined the signature campaign and ill admit i entered the username wrong or something i don't remember, but i couldn't link my btctalk account. and just to be clear "linking my btctalk may be wrong" this was so long ago i'm not sure how it worked all i know is i read the instructions, saw i mistyped something and couldn't change it. I wrote you 3 emails and didn't get a reply. i still had the betking avatar and sig on my account for 5-6 months and never got one reply.
Country restrictionsit's also shitty that "united states was banned 1-2months after launch"
i'm sure running 2 previous casinos you where aware of any legal troubles, that you could have investigated before launch.
So i'm sure you already knew that you where going to do this, and kept this information from investors, a big decision factor for investing in the ico.
