RE: $20,000 (7BTC) Stolen from Bittrex (captured live on video) Huge lesson learned

in #bitcoin7 years ago (edited)

Take one second to actually think about this man's struggle, and take your own subjective apathy out of this. You may not understand the gravity of this theft, but Shayne is a friend of mine and lying, let alone lying about something like isn't even in his plane of thought. You are offending me and others who know this is truth, imagine losing half of the savings you've built up just to have it stolen. In a time where this guy can use some sympathy, you and some others only accost him. Maybe you just want upvotes and attention, but saying an innocent man is a liar (and in essence a thief) falls more on you than it does on him.

Sort:  

Thieves and charlatans can do far more than $20,000 damage to this platform.
Any time there's money involved, there are going to be liars.
If your friend is on the level, then ignore it or by all means defend the accusations with facts; but if we don't call attention to potential fraud when we see it, we'll be overrun in a heartbeat.
I realise it's a bitter pill, at a terrible time, but it's not personal.
My sympathies to your friend.
