I have been watching this unfold, and I just have to stick my nose in where it doesn't belong.
This has nothing to do with Nomad. I have no idea what size his regular donations are - who is to say that he isn't getting $1000 donations on a fairly regular basis? It wouldn't surprise me at all - he is extremely friendly and docile and a wonderful guy who markets the fact that you can donate to him. He works with people who have thousands of $$/BTC passing through their hands/accounts every day.
I spend my BTC as soon as they hit my account, so they don't lose value. don't you?
Nomad is a HUGE VICTIM in all of this. Rather than losing money, it is costing him his reputation, which is more valuable than money - especially in an anonymous situation like this. I feel terrible for him - he is the most passionate person here at Silk Road. He puts his heart and soul into his job as a mod, and into the community here, and that is invaluable. In hard times like these are at SR, when morale is down, we need Nomad to be here for us. There is no other person at Silk Road that has what Nomad brings to the table.
And what have we succeeded in doing?
We have lost our money (because, despite ALL OF THE WARNINGS I KNOW YOU HAVE HAD, you finalized early) and we have lost the true and honest passion of a great member of our community.
Nomad did not scam you, Nomad is a victim and has lost much more than the pissant $1000 he gained, this I promise you.
You lost your money because you did something stupid. Nomad owes you nothing. I feel sure that if Nomad still had the cash that he would have turned it over to DPR to do with the best way he could, however, your losses were so much more than that $1000. How do you suppose an equitable split could have been made anyway? You can get 5% of your losses back? Woohoo. I am glad Nomad got that money, it is a (very) small payment for the pain and suffering he has been put through over this. I wish the rest of the money would magically appear in his account and that the real ripper, USD, would get all this wrath from the community.
Be grownups and accept responsibility for your own actions. Don't blame other people for your own stupidity.
You all need to fall down and apologize to Nomad as what you have done to him is terrible. Nomad, I am so sorry for what you are going through. I would like to wring USD's neck myself for using you as he has done. It is sickening, and I am so sorry. I know you are a great man, and I know you have no responsibility for these idiots losing their money. Please stand tall and find a way to bring your passion back to this community. I know I am not the only one who thinks this.
And while I am on the soapbox:
I find it incredibly hard to believe that some of you, who I know know better, continue to fall for these scams. Each big sale we have had, I have sat back and watched to see who was going to go bad. I know its gonna happen - you know its gonna happen. The temptation is too great - and the people here will just blindly follow someone who is nice to them and throw their money at their feet for the promise of drugs.
Don't get me wrong, I am a girl, I love a sale, and I sure do love bargain drugs. Bring em on. But don't lose your mind. Pick up some extra stuff or some stuff you usually can't afford, or want to try. But don't finalize early. Each and every scam that happens is based on you doing just that. And you keep doing it.
And as long as you keep doing it, these people will keep coming back under new names and doing it again - and these people are smart - do not be fooled. The scams get better and better. Don't act like a fucking sheep, act like you have a brain in your head. One of the best things about this community is the extremely intelligent members. Maybe if you don't fit in here, you should head on back to Topix.
I wonder often exactly how many actual people are behind these scams. I'll bet its not too many coming back for your money over, and over and over again.
Quit being stupid sheep and use your brain people.
AND APOLOGIZE TO NOMAD - SILK ROAD NEEDS HIM!

I don't understand how that many people FE for USD anyways. Wasn't he only a member here for a few weeks?

It won't do any damage to nomad's reputation in the eyes of anyone who isn't a fucking cretin.
And to think I thought that USD was legit half way through that thread.
To anyone with.. well.. eyes, it is crystal clear that USD was up to some scamming shit. Just read the feedback DigitalAlch posted in the "why did nomad delete my blh blah" thread.
And to be honest if anyone is dumb enough to believe USD's accusations after all the evidence has finally come out (and it only took him about 60 pages of distractions and empty rhetoric) - then they can fuck right off silk road and we're better off without them.
