I really don't get how people fall time and time again for these scams (pirateat40, anyone?).

If you just do basic math:
BTC median yearly gains in the past five years in % vs. supposed gains by btcc.
Btc still wins. And you keep your btc to yourself.

You have to be really bad at math to fall for these scams.

Shame for craig though. He seemed so chill. Maybe he got scammed himself? We'll never know.
