So that proves that Mr Nasty had not communicated his intention to claim GBYTE from the forum funds.

He claimed them from HIS keys.. HIS keys..
It possibly would have been a nice thing for him to offer this claimed value to theymos, but I do not think it is or was a requirement to do so..
I don't know if it was a requirement for him to hand over ANY forks or anything claimed from HIS keys in order to abide by the contract, which was for the return of BTC only, but it is awful nice of him to have done so, because he is a good guy and it's the right thing to do..

He owned the keys period, so even giving the BTC back is nothing more than a testament to his morality and trustworthiness, because when those Bitcoins were on HIS keys, the Bitcoin code says he owned them too.. Bitcoin doesn't give one shit about anything you write, be it a joke or a contract, unless you fork/insert it into the Bitcoin code itself, he who owns the keys owns the contents..

We preach all the time about owning your own keys guys, lol..

The wallet address had forum funds, without the escrow in that wallet the address would not of been eligible for the airdrop....

Yeah but most airdrops depended on the amount of BTC in that address, except maybe CLAM, but even that required a certain minimum. Og is entitled to sign a message with that address and to get 0 GBYTE for the 0 BTC he had in it.

I don't think that matters because the keys are his and technically so were all the BTC in the keys at the time according to the code..

Is an exchange a scam if they claim airdrops on their keys that are full of customer funds and not disperse these claimed values to the customer?

I would consider that quite shady, if not technically a scam (because they didn't promise me any airdrops).

I wouldn't consider it shady at all..
I consider it if you cared about it you should have owned your own keys or atleast had an agreement with the keyholder on the topic of forks/airdrops, as is usually how it goes..

Why should they NOT claim anything they can?
It's just nice of them to give it to you if they do, if it wasn't stipulated in any contract..

Handing over the airdrop funds also seems like the only ethical thing to do.

Only if theymos asks for them..

his reputation will suffer

He returned the huge amount of BTC and now all the "major" forks..
His reputation is only getting better, lol..
