Exactly my point, no one is crying for this guy here just stating an interesting factoid.
Micon shut down his account at swc and kept his btc balance, small as it may have been and all because he was mad at him.
If that is acceptable business practice I suspect no one should piss off their bank teller or anyone who holds their funds period.
I asked my buddy to join up here and post ALL the emails because frankly I read through them and Micon only posted select emails on bitcointalk and not the PM's.
I think my buddy got taken a bit because he was told by Micon a special lander for affiliate program was being made week after week. What you do not realize is the story BEFORE the Micon posting his email exchange with him and selectively I may add wheremy buddy sets him straight. He even told from the start Micon he wasn't selling it and wished to only be an affiliate, it was Micon who asked for a price. Apparently after 3 weeks or so my buddy said where is the lander and he said he would test the conversion rate to show a lander was worth the time, Micon didn't object. My buddy tested 2 days and took it down. Showed Micon the success and instantly he replied he was now going to just take the name, you used a competitor etc. Personally I think he coaxed him into that to try and get the name for free or cheap. THEN the emails got heated and that is what Micon posted. I asked my bro why he didn't defend himself on bitcointalk and post all email and PM's, he said he couldn't be bothered to do that with the crazies there.
Any way they had a disagreement and he got ripped off now he is looking at theft charges potentially. My buddy flies into the States on business soon so he may look into it.
Anyhoo I could care less as I actually supported Micon until I heard all this and he tried the same crap on me to a degree but otherwise we ended our discussion amicably. In fact I was going to help him raise funds for a defense even, see now there is more to this I do not want to add but I shared with Druff. Botton line I am just left shaking my head.
There is no good excuse for theft like that, $1 or $1M.
