Add in the time spent on the 77,000 or so posts between TWK and WTF. At 5 minutes a post and wages $15 per hour, that would be around $ 100,000 lost.
Of course eccie is grateful for your patronage.
Thank you, valued posters.
If you invested 1000 dollars and it ballooned to 750 million and now is worth nothing, how much did you actually lose?

In your scenario, they only lost one thousand dollars!
I'll tell you what....if you can find me someone whose money was unknowingly stolen from a brokage house or one of our fine regulated bank...deposited in Sam's exchange and they then lost all their money....I'd feel sorry for them but....I'm pretty sure they have legal recourse to get THEIR money back.
You seem to forget where it was they deposited their money! An unregulated exchange! Originally Posted by WTF
