I have to agree with this part.
I can't imagine that anyone who's in his clear mind would forgive Whirlwind.money, if Whirlwind.money doesn't even bother to log in and write a few lines here. Even then, it's difficult to imagine which excuse is eligible to get forgivenness of all victims. Whirlwind.money has screwed up big time and needs to convince us, to forgive them. Since it's not happened, the flag is valid in my opinion.
It was poorly handled by WW, and we were lucky to be made whole due to the escrow funds being kept by a forum member. Not sure if that counts as WW repaying the damages.
Then again, funds in escrow were made available by WW, for reimbursement purposes - so I have to agree with the whole part of this as well:
I'd argue all this falls under the "make the victims of this act roughly whole" part. When you received the amount from escrow, you could have used it to buy the same amount of Bitcoin again. It's not perfect, but your loss was (more or less) covered.
There's another reason: Flags should encourage people to do the right thing, and when that happens, the Flag becomes invalid. The unique thing here is that WWM didn't do anything but it happened anyway. The only thing stopping me from going for the "hit by a bus"-scenario is the message WWM sent to Hhampuz.
None of this makes sense.
I bolded the crucial part for me - considering that it happened by pure chance, I'm still inclined to support the flag. I will follow the thread in the following days and revise my decision if I feel it is more fair to do so.
