Ok, while thief might be harsh, if what happened here is what everyone thinks, it's certainly a very poor decision. The adjustment made to just my funds alone was ~$40 worth of LTC, going by today's price, for the time I was mining on notroll. This is $40 I would have if I had stayed at another pool. Consider looking at it like this, your employer comes to you and says, hey, last week we accidentally overpaid a small percentage of our employees, so to make up for it this week, we're going to lower everyone's pay to compensate. This just isn't how business is operated. If a business owner makes a mistake or a poor decision, they pay for it, by either eating the cost or going out of business. The world is harsh, but there it is.

Now as a miner, I have to ask myself if I feel comfortable staying on a pool that feels it is appropriate to take my funds when the operator makes a mistake or the pool is bugged. Sorry, I'm just not that altruistic as to pay for someone elses mistake.

ps. I'm jealous of your hashing power, what kind of rigs are you running?

This is a terrible comparison and I think you have no idea what you're saying alot of you should stop complaining and read before you make silly remarks... He clearly stated that he overpaid everyone... If you're overpaid he has all the right to take back what was overpaid....

A better comparison would be: you go to an ATM you withdraw $100 and the ATM gives you $200... You better put those extra $100 if not the bank will deduct it from your account once it finds out it gave you too much money... Are you going to go to the bank and complain? NO, you were overpaid...
