Am I reading this right? Truthful, scambust and co are honestly saying this is more likely to be a scam because Australians aren't to be trusted because of convicts in the 1700's? Is that seriously what this has degraded to?

Posting links to ACCC stories about other totally unrelated scams is just a whole new level of pathetic. The ACCC is just a government body, that's like posting articles about the equivalent US government body saying that those in the US aren't to be trusted because scams happen there.

I think that condemning this project without due evidence is foolhardy; as is blindly drinking the KoolAid and thinking it's completely legitimate without doing the research and checking the facts. It's vital to go over something as potentially groundbreaking as this with a fine-toothed comb, but at this point you have just degraded to the level of being professional trolls. I will gladly listen to objective concerns and reply with my thoughts, but these attacks have stooped to a new low.

If you are trying to "save people" or start a reputation for such things, you have just failed, and embarrassed yourselves greatly.
