You are involved in the ponzi scheme by way of investigating it. I was involved by coincidentally helping to expose its collapse. Theymos was involved by way of hosting the forum. Hundreds of users were involved tangentially. This is not tantamount to wrongdoing no matter how much you struggle to manufacture that appearance.
None of this is nearly the same as collecting funds to be deposited into what
apparently everybody knew was a Ponzi scheme, Og included. Could it be that nobody complained afterward because everybody knew what they were getting themselves into at the beginning?
We really don't know the specifics because we don't know what was contained in Exhibit 3, other than the name "OgNasty" next to an amount of BTC on a spreadsheet. The number may have been 1,000, it may have been 2,600+ -- we don't know for sure. We also don't know if it reflected Og's personal investment or all the BTC collected from investors, or both.
Its true that all this is well in the past and doesn't really matter anymore from a legal standpoint, but it still demonstrates behavior that is pretty far from trustworthy. The fact that Og won't comment on what Shavers was talking about in his testimony only makes things worse.
I took the liberty of putting the perfect hindsight and speculation in underline and bold. In, other words, even if all of this baseless speculation is true, the so called "victims" don't consider themselves to be an aggrieved party, and this is all being perused for ulterior motives.
Exactly, we don't know the specifics. OGNasty was named. OOoooO. Very impressive, that is for anyone who just casually skims and doesn't bother spending way too much time digging through these records looking for any ACTUAL evidence of wrongdoing. Of course that is the point isn't it? The convince as many people as possible assuming most will just make their own assumptions based on these baseless accusations and speculation while simultaneously not actually providing any definitive evidence of any wrongdoing.
If I was OGNasty I would tell you all to go fuck yourselves too and suggest you find yourself some other steaming heap to pick peanuts out of. This atmosphere of picking through everyone's activities and demanding public explanation for everything just because some one has a figment in their imagination is not just repugnant but dangerous the the freedoms of the community in general and needs to be broken. This is like the 1984 version of crypto with a boot stamping on its face for eternity.
war is peace
freedom is slavery
fascism is legitimacy
Sooner or later you will all be just like OGNasty and each have your turn at the unaccountable mob picking through every intimate detail of your life looking for things to report to the government simply because they can and it makes them feel less like the weak little men they are because they wield power over another. History shows that is really the only motive required for this to develop.
