I don't think that dude was found guilty of anything. Sure it looks terrible but you can't ban all employees from working forever because the company they worked for was involved in criminal activities. As CFO he might have noticed something shady but he might not have realized what exactly was going on. poo poo, for all we know he tipped off the financial pigs.

Still, I agree that given the context it sure as hell looks like CIG went shopping for a CFO with a reputation of either being blind or looking the other way.

Don't forget that both his brother Nicholas Elms as well as Erin Roberts were pretty high in the management of Gizmondo as well and both of them are high-ranking individuals in CIG's umbrella of companies.

Wonder what the minimum order is if one wanted to flood the Star Citizen market with counterfeits. Send over the jpegs to China to be produced, then ebay them for $2.00

We figured this out a few threads ago. Making exact copies might be hard without the exact files CIG used might be difficult.

But making significantly better quality goon versions that are cheaper than 10bux would be pretty simple (if we got over a hundred of us willing to do it).

FYI these are examples of what you can get in metal business cards:

There's a fashion for mixing science and bullshit these days - Ancient Aliens is one such program that my wife watches mainly to piss me off. They'll have a _real scientist_ explaining some part of science or another, then they'll segue to Graham Hancock or another UFOlogy hack to expound the bullshit.

Yesterday I deposited 1700 dollars from my btc-e account to my metatrader account. When I clicked submit, I got the message "Request error. Please try again later."
However, my account balance turned to zero, like the money had been transferred. As of now (over 24 hours later) the money is nowhere to be seen. Not in my metatrader account, and not in my btc-e account.
I already opened a ticket with support, but it's yet to be answered.
Could this have been caused by and actual error (like a caching error) or was I more likely scammed by the exchange?

The minute you stop people doing that, I'll stop talking about dumb scams.

Maybe they can switch to a new pricing model whereby Chris sits at a chair in front of a computer and people can walk by and drop a few bucks in an old tin can beside him and he will type a few lines of code.

Yea, SC_Druggie is a she - as I noted before, even more hilarious to remember her back from a time of over 1 year ago, when on the RSI boards she bragged about her tits cup size or something, Lauresh popped in to just say: "Steady on, girl. Have some self-respect" or somesuch, to which SC_Druggie replied: "Lol, must just be a bitch jealous of my titties." and got probated for it.

All this time later and I see she just dug herself a deeper hole in the .jpegs debt and has not improved her self-respect one bit.
