Well done Galligher. Props to you on your successful scam and humourous rejoiners :) |

@ Captain ******: how is pulling off a 15 bil scam a laudatory occasion? And how is his reply (a single image created with MS Paint) a 'humorous' response? Go die in a fire, or failing that stop trolling MD.
Bypassing the profanity filter and RL threats. Classy sir!
Anyways, to the topic at hand. At the very least, it's laudatory for the simple reason that he obviously put a fair amount of work in the intial IPO, and that at least deserves some credit. Whether or not he deserves praise for pulling the scam itself off is something else - naturally, those who invested in it would be a little peeped off.
Whilst you might not value the simple inherent beauty of his MS Paint image, I and others do, and it perfectly encapsulates the reaction it generated out of the likes of you, good sir :)
See? Civility is free to those who can afford it, but very expensive to those who can't. I believe that you belong to the latter group

Just a quick question if I may Galligher. Apart from the obvious - financial gain - were there any other motivations behind this quite intricate scam? |

What made this scam intricate anyway? Did he put weeks of work into, start his own web page with mass mailing to sucker folks into it?
Anyway dosnt seem like anything special in the way of scams. I didnt really look at it as I dont much like low sec operations.
It's intricate in that the IPO looks, initially at least, well thought out and Galligher addressed queries and concerns fairly promptly
edit: i dont know about a webpage or similar, but the fact that several people vouched for him added to the patina of respectability

so you are the alt of the alt
I wish!
And you are the alt of the alt of the alt, presumably? I had nothing to do with this, though one could make the case that a singularly successful scam deserves the same kudos as a successful one. And that, simply, is what I was pointing out in this thread :) |

I am referring to the the end of an MD era, the death of the personality cult. People must learn to make their own decisions.
Probably the wisest thing in this whole thread, on a par with Galligher's MS Paint effort :D
