mircea_popescu: two weeks ago he claimed no funds were lost in gox. today he claims funds were lost in gox.
VanCleef: i trust banks and wallstreet more and more everyday
mircea_popescu: that's besides the point.
ThickAsThieves: did he cover the losses but not cover them?
ThickAsThieves: but if he had the coins lost everything wouold be ok
ThickAsThieves: well he manages to say it both ways in this post

mircea_popescu: next time when you're out to do "what's best for your fambly" go ask for donations. ceos do what's best for their shareholders.
mircea_popescu: hardly teh point. i dunno why all these scammor dudes imagine that's an argument. yes dude, if we wanted to feed your fambly we'd have just donated you the btc.
mircea_popescu: obviously "what's best for his fambly" is trying to make a split anyway.
Guest17831: he should just pass his stake to Neo, it has no value with all that debt anyway
mircea_popescu: just about at the conceptual level of the average bitcointard.
mircea_popescu: it's very simple : "if you people were nice i'd have paid for this out of pocket but because you were mean i am not so neeneer"
Guest17831: and wraps up it up in a neat little bow by saying he wants to sell his stake
Guest17831: but then says if he had them there would be enough money
Guest17831: also, he says he covered for the locked coins in BF/Gox
mircea_popescu: Guest15829 classical scammer talk. "the scam would have been fine if it weren't for the evil interlopers fud"
