My guess is that some of you guys are outstanding fellows and would step up to the plate for the group, as I would, if condition A were met. Problem is the guy is so goddamn shady nowadays with communication that I cant even fathom sending him more btc. Its insane.
I suspect there would be enough who would provide funds. I don't think waldohoover is being shady. I suspect he's rather tired of people throwing rocks at him, threatening to sue him, etc.
Whatever the case, we do have to have active dialog to move forward. But, he may have already moved forward with asking for the USD refund. I think he last indicated he would do that.
