How does this mess compare to pirate's scam? Calculating in BTC makes no sense because it's so long ago,
but dollar-wise..?
BTCST (The pirateat40 Ponzi) gathered around $5M. BT is relatively small compared to that one. Especially if you consider that the target audience was much smaller back then, with way less people knowing about Bitcoin and owning any Bitcoin.
i did some math few days ago and looking at their wallets they ran with about 7 mils USD
Hmm, I'm really curious if rammy2k2's calculations are right. That would be scary..
