I'm not interested in being involved in this drama -  just documenting what happened. That involves telling multiple sides of the story - sometimes that will contain some bias. Even if I have an opinion on a matter I try to write the historical threads in a neutral manner.
I, for one, respect that.  I've been aware of the Trendon Shavers debacle for a long time now, and it was one of the first big scams I learned about, and it still blows my mind that he was able to pull off such a large ponzi scheme with so much bitcoin.

What I wasn't aware of was OgNasty's involvement in it.  That fact I just learned when the recent scam accusation against him came out in that other thread.  And as I said there, I'm not passing any judgement because I don't know all of the facts--and I haven't been able to muster up the attention span to read through all of TwitchySeal's posts, nor have I ever understood what exactly OgNasty's business is.  I know there's a Nastyfans thing, and there was that passthrough deal with Shavers, but I can't say I understand all the details.

If someone could write a summary of how OgNasty makes his money in a relevant thread, I'd be more than happy to spread some merit around.  All the details are scattered all over this forum and I'm not the best at searching for and compiling information.  It's not my business, but I'm really curious about it.

Edit:  Oh, and that offer I just made above--if someone actually does write up a summary, please drop me a PM since I might not notice it if it's in a thread where I might not find it.
