I suppose I could have rose colored glasses on, they are leveling some terribly heavy accusations at him, but they arent entirely unfounded.

I don't think anyone is claiming that SA is ONLY presenting evidence, but they ARE presenting evidence.
Interest in bitcoin, or interest in seeing a scammer get his come-upance, either way they sure seem interested in the matter at hand, to all btc users benefit.

It benefits you too bbit, whether you want to admit it or not.

You are aware of bandwidth costs? Running a site that large cant be cheap and they have very few ads. IIRC they pay a single time to acquire posting rights, so the users aren't being paid, but are actually themselves paying.
Are you honestly suggesting that the owners of SA have some kind of trolling slush fund they dip into to pay users to troll other sites?

I'm not sure how you equate me asking about info they've uncovered with having my head up their ass.
I would argue that if anyone here has lost objectivity its you.
Do you think they are fabricating court documents etc?  Whether or not some users troll is a moot point right now.
Have you personally looked at the evidence?

Please dont call me names, I havent called you any.

I think they're providing us with a invaluable service, none of this fraud stuff came up before the SA people started to investigate it.  

Bbit, I think you've got your head in the sand.

Where in the blue blazes do you get the idea that they are paid to troll people??  Who pays them? Why? I don't understand where you've gotten this idea from.

And please, don't start with the name calling, it wont help anything.

Have you ever even been to the SA forums?  Have you even looked at the bitcoin thread there?  I doubt it the way you speak of it.

You can call me whatever you like Bbit, Ill let my posts speak for themselves, but you did not answer the question, do you honestly think people from SA are PAID by some entity to come here and discredit bitcoin users?

Wow, makes sense now doesnt it.  Bbit, how much are you being paid to steer suspicion away from Bruce?

Yeah I guess you're correct, but when we uncover fraudsters nothing is done about them, IRL there is usually a governing body you can go to for help.  Look at the Bruce issue thats forming, people are white-knighting him without looking at any of the information.  Its almost like bitcoin users have their head in the sand when it comes to anything negative about the currency.

Bbit, do you honestly think people are paid to come here and discredit others?  Trying to have a decent discussion here about an important matter and we could do without your trolling.

Dayfall, can you explain to us why the messenger should be shot?  Should whistle blowers be shot? Should police informants be shot?

It appears you think all of these accusations are 100% unfounded, is that so?  Can you tell us why you have come to this conclusion despite the mounting evidence?

I understand unfounded accusations can be ruinous, however, after reading the something awful thread, how can you believe Bruce is NOT a serial scammer and quite possibly something far worse?

How would you tackle the fraud issue? I wouldnt let anyone touch my btc after the Mybitcoin wallet thing, and now we hear Bruce our biggest spokesperson is very likely a long time fraudster, seems like everywhere you turn someone wants to steal your coins.

I think we are still reeling from the silk road stuff and other quasi-illegal/scamming stuff that has hit the presses. 

Unfortunately I dont think we are going to hit mainstream for a very long time, we are just finding out that our main spokesperson very well may be a long time fraudster and bitcoin is his next target!!!

I think it probably has something to do with our spokesman being revealed as a fraudster? Just my 2c

Arent things like this scams? I dont understand I thought a Ponzi scheme was a bad thing?

I dont think it matters who levels the accusation, dont shoot the messenger etc..

Regardless of what you think of that forum, if you read the thread, they have uncovered some extremely worrysome things about Bruce's past, which I think we all should get clarified before deciding to do business with him.  Or letting him become our freaking spokesperson!
