For further amusing reading, look at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=91661.20 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=91661.20 User pirateat40 is running a BTC investment scheme with super-high returns (BS&T: Bitcoin Savings & Trust, a name suggested by investors). So high, that the community is split between the believers who can't resist the ROI and the non-believers who are convinced that Pirate is running a Ponzi scheme. But that's not the fun part. The fun part is that pirateat40 and another member have agreed to participate in a sort of bet to settle the issue, which involves certain payouts under certain conditions. Mostly it's a bet that pirateat40/BS&T will default within a couple of months. Both have put 5000 BTC, ie. roughly 30k USD on the line.
