This is so early to call YOSHIE a scammer. He has been herr for quite long time. He has been participating in a good campaign which pays good. Why would anyone scam such a small amount despite? I believe he is in trouble in real life.
Regarding the loan, your calculation isn’t correct at all. Current total due is approx $2000 (160 ETC, I didn’t ask how it goes to ETC) I had a chat with shasan on this.
$2000 isn’t a big sum to scam for a profile like YOSHIE and most importantly he was in a good campaign.
Anyway, hope the best for YOSHIE and shasan.
