I cant say I believe that it really happened.
It is indeed something of a mystery. Nobody from TBF commenting on this thread has seen it fit to validate that the 100K from KnC was made.
Or that the 100K from Phinneas Gage was not made.
Accordingly I must, give both the benefit of the doubt, and consider them both Platinum Members as of this time. One recognized, but by the somewhat suspect membership and board of TBF. Yet the other, in the best Satoshi tradition, has vanished. This means that only by the logic and algorithms he left behind, may he be understood.
Indeed it is quite mysterious.
