Yet he is still paid by this forum to hold onto coin.
I'm not taking anyone's side here, as this "Ponzi to Ponzi scheme" happened years before I joined this forum. I read a lot on this subject, but I can't say that I have a clear image of how things went.
But strictly related to this quote, I think that OG is no longer a forum treasurer controlling funds by himself, based on theymos's statement from here. He is a treasurer, yes, but one which is a part of a multisig wallet, thus he can't spend funds at his sole will.
And regarding the period when he controlled 500 BTC of the forum funds entrusted to him by theymos, funds which he could spend on his own will, theymos said he returned all these money:
I very much appreciate OgNasty's willingness to perform this high-risk role for years! Returning 500 BTC is a more trustworthy action than most people will ever do.
[...]
Past treasurers John K., Garr255, Ian Knowles, Rassah, Ryland R Taylor-Almanza, and now OgNasty all returned the funds with which they were entrusted.
It is hard for me to say what happened with him and the pirate. But as far as I can see, strictly about forum funds, he took good care of them, returned them when theymos requested and now the funds that he's reponsible of can't be spent without other treasurers' approval.
I'd like also to mention that I don't know OG, nor Vod. All I know about them is that OG was a powerful treasurer, holding 500 BTC, which is now a less powerful treasurer. And about Vod, besides licking his boob from 1970 (
), I know he offered to forum members a great tool - BPIP.It's sad to see such reputable members fighting; it is possible that OG did all that Vod says. But regarding forum funds he was trustworthy so far.
