Your questions posit that you're offering a deal you know is bad because you yourself rigged it. We have no reason to think that Slock.it took the currency, or intended to (unfairly) get any share of it. Their statements look stupid but honest. A better question would involve: "... but without me knowing, the banks simultaneously crashed, devaluing our currency so the payout is worthless ..."
