Imagine if someone had suggested this on that thread months ago? They would have been flamed off the forums.

you must not read the mod forum. several smart mods said this was a distinct possibility from the beginning.

Why didn't these smart mods post in the main thread to address this possibility? A couple of posters were afraid this might be a bad idea, but everyone slammed them for being ignorant. Sure would have been nice to get an opinion from a repected poster that could potentially save people from getting scammed.

There were quite a few precautions first IIRC. Gildwulf requested that Vig provide proof before it all happened, and Vig responded with all the pictures of the cancer cards and the baby in front of a computer with 2p2 in the background.

It really does seem so very clear that it wasn't a scam from the beginning. My guess is that Vig really did have some trouble getting the money out, but considering he was even able to get a special account for transfers at Stars that didn't have a play option, I think he tried to remove money but didn't try that hard.
