as for obvious ponzi in 2012 there was no such thing since

pirate could have had 100000 or more cheap coins from 09 and 10.

so by creating the bank to boost price of his stack of coins it was possible it was not a ponzi.

WHAA? Dat only possible if you have no common sense!!

back in 2012 many may have thought pirate was running his club to publicize bitcoin and drive the price up.

there were very little coins to mine or use in 2012.

so to say it was an obvious ponzi is pretty much wrong.

to say it may have been a ponzi is more accurate.

do i think og gets a pass on this yes

How many passes you give?

Well, common sense has to play a role as well. Is there anyone who thought Patrick Harnett & Pirate were doing honest dealings? I certainly hope not. Pirate came out and said not to trust him several times as well as hinting that he was engaging in illegal activity.

Common sense must play a role!

First: I've been wondering about this for a while now, and although I don't want to point fingers, I do like transparency so here it goes: What happened to the "dividend" from airdrops based on Bitcoin holdings?

http://transition.obyte.org/ shows that treasurer address 1Eog8UqRFLufC71rBLt2nYgfUDskgxAyVF joined the Byteball airdrop with 500.00051 BTC (0.0771% share):

Scooby: RUT ROH, RAGGY!

How many passes Mr. Nasty allowed 5? 10?

I make coin and be good escrow,, now I get freedom to swindle?
Nice place here
