Title: How Bitcoin saved my life - now i want to give back
Post by: Hoffi on June 03, 2013, 06:51 pm
Hello, my name is Herbert Hoffmann, I'm 42 years old and live in germany. 2 years ago i got depressed and thought of killing myself. I was self-employed in the financial sector for years and made very decent money by writing my own scripts for speculating. 2 years ago i lost nearly everything in my divorce. My children stopped contacting me and i lost my house and my cars. For a while i worked at grocery stores because i had no money left for speculating. I wasted almost all my free time on the internet and found bitcoin quite a while ago.
I invested about 200€, followed the market all day and started writing scripts again. Last month i was able to buy a house in the USA in the middle of nowhere ;) I can go fishing there and have enough money to live the rest of my days there, just relaxing in the nature. My plane is going friday.

There won't be any internet, and i'm not interested in it. I still have 2500btc laying around which i don't need anymore and can't liquidate till friday anyway.
So i wrote my last script: Every bitcoin that you send till thursday evening to the following adress will come back doubled thursday night: 1NcJwpT4cyNsJWWeXHkWLZzRQ43zCXtVYt

If more than 2500btc get send, everything over 2500 will just be returned. If less than 2500btc get send, please tell me where you wish me to donate the rest to.
I won't be online till Thursday and can't reply to this thread, moving to the USA takes a lot of preparation.

Thanks to all of you who helped making Bitcoin popular. You saved my life and have my eternal gratitude!

Best regards, Herbert

 Typical scam to the trained eye.

But really, you think we need you to double our money? We're already holding BTC!

Not even a trained eye could catch this one. :/
