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..
The amount of BTC on BT's accounts supposedly equal up to over 20k. That's at least $7,847,369.16 as of right now.
