If one of the victims had said that, I might not have replied, but if you say it, a few words are in order.
I'll bite.
I 'invested' in this scheme.
Was I aware of what I was getting myself into? Yes.
Am I going to blame someone for the current outcome? No.
It's not like I didn't read payb.tc's warnings. It's not like he didn't say you stand to lose your entire gam...er...invstment.
Everyone's saying "a 3400% annual return rate - it's got to be a scam" - well I agree with you. Did I still take a chance, sure.
I don't think anyone who can think rationally could believe that there wasn't something fishy here, especially with no information as to how these returns were being generated.
I'm also as suspicious of people who are calling people like payb.tc scammers, for exactly the same reasons.
If you're a rational person who can think for themselves, how can people who operated passthroughs be considered scammers?
Some have said that they're scammers because they helped legitimise Pirate... how? Am I a scammer because I gambled? Did I legitimise him?
I am sick of the insults implying that I am some sheep being led around and taken advantage of by the conniving payb.tc.
I have yet to hear from someone who has gambled their bitcoins on Bitcoinmax who is shocked at the current state of affairs. There might have been something to be said about trying to warn new folks about the risk. No more new folks are "investing" any longer. Perhaps after one of us clams we need an advocate you can try to assign blame for us, but I think everyone knows the blame lies with himself.
