If you can't, I'd appreciate if you didn't put words in my mouth, thank you very much.I said that anyone "investing" with someone who can so easily lose $49 of his own money will never see their money again. This is not a wild assumption.One can logically deduce from your actions that you're quite easily led / naive, therefore susceptible to being scammed yourself. Any money that people "invest" with you would likely be put into something that looks too good to be true, just like Mt.Gix (incredibly low prices, accept virtually all payment methods etc.), and would therefore be lost. It's also psychologically easier to gamble with other's money than your own, and seeing as you so easily lost your own, I don't think I'm being entirely unreasonable here.Add to that your lack of situational awareness (one can assume this deficiency as a result of the fact that Mt.Gix has been constantly spamming these forums and you failed to consider it a scam, and failed to notice others doing so), your lack of due diligence when sending money to an anonymous entity (you didn't even read their "About Us" page, and if you did, you didn't think it odd that a company calling itself "Mt.Gix" would refer to itself twice as "Mt.GAX"), nor did you even do a Google search which would have turned up numerous sources that decry them as scammers.So I stand by my initial statement, and initial wager:Quote from: grahamgreeneI'll bet $1000 / the equivalent in Bitcoin that any money "invested" by a person who is so easily scammed out of $49 (I mean seriously, MtGix!!) will never be seen again.As you requested, I'll "wait and see", but it'll be for how many people lose their money.- grahamgreene
