Message:: [QUOTE="mrjason71, post: 2920937, member: 90347"]Thanks so much guys. It's interesting to "re-live" the whole thing via old forums. It seems the general opinion amongst posters at the various coin forums at the time was that of sheer elation. Everyone was initially so psyched to hear the announcement...then there's a ton of speculation about who will win and the various punishments are considered and drooled over. Many believed it was an open and shut case of fraud--that the doctors agreed not to send doctored coins and then did so. All I can think at this point is: If you need me--the submitter--to tell you it hasn't been doctored, what good are you? Then the thing is dismissed at the federal level and the whole thing is reshaped into "oh, well it's still great...they never intended to follow through with it in the first place...was just a warning shot...This will make the doctors think twice next time..." So they admit they are unable to tell if a coin has been doctored at the exact time they announce a new technology that can sniff out the fakes, etc. That timing is really suspect. They knew about the doctoring for years it seems and said nothing. Everyone's first thought upon hearing of such a lawsuit had to be--"What? This stuff can get by you?" So they counter that thought with "Oh well there's a new technology that can do the job so no big deal..." That seems really shady, no? It's like they only went public because they had this new sniffer.[/QUOTE]
