this arrived in my inbox today from "fanaticalfishing". Apparently the forum members decided that he was responsible for the theft of almost $250,000 from the forums.

A: And what if the guys running the servers dedice to gang up together and steal the bitcoins?
B: At this moment, no solution is completely trustless. This solution might be as trustless as it gets, but I'm sure James can give a better answer to this than me.

This is one of the reasons I will have nothing more to do with this project.
If anything bad happens, those who do nothing but post crap in a newsgroup are already getting ready to point fingers at the guys paying hundreds of dollars for the high end servers out of their own pockets and working hundreds of hours to make the system secure.

Count me out.

What??

Not true.

Fanaticalfishing PM'ed us (mods on nxtforum.org) this morning about his account. He said he made a mistake in his mail-settings and was locked out. We moderators are helping him now. So..that's it. Undecided

Farley what are you denying at this point? are you denying that:

1) 200 BTC was stolen because the server security was compromised? (Farley is partly responsible for this server btw)

2) that fanaticalfishing DIDN'T send this message? (I guess he's suggesting I made it up)

so just to make clear, prior to this entire community coming out against me, I was trying to figure out what had happened to the 200 BTC. From what I understand police were contacted regarding this and I think a few of the 'leaders' of the 'decentralized' NXT community are going to be in the hot seat. To make a long story short, someone supposedly hacked John Manglaviti's account, impersonated him, and convinced people to send him 200 BTC. That was the story we were given.

My suggestion to everyone: stay off these forums. They are crawling with petty criminals(and worse).
