To me it is irrelevant how any player would have handled it. The point is not how the player handled it - he handled it as most people would be expected to when they trip over a large stack of cash. The point is how the company handled it.
They failed to conduct any sort of quality assurance in the initial BP exchange.
They failed to take action when warned very early on that something was wrong.
They communicated flippantly with a concerned customer who pointed out a problem.
There is no consistency in how they manage their screw ups.
They just condoned a very obvious exploit.
The new precedent is now "seek out exploits, use the shit out of them as fast as you can, and you'll be fine."
This is not about the player. This is about the company.
Let is go Jack. We could all list 1000+ things we're might be upset about over the years. One of the oldest I never forget because the response was so funny at the time was from the person that owned the original Rancher Hat BP. They said something like "MA ram you up the arse with broken glass, then for good measure twist it for pleasure".
I held a ton of Compet deeds for 4 years with no payout (but loads of promises) until near then end, then get offered a deal to get MA out of jail, but sold to community as saving the players. If they did that to LA owners or your LA's, you'd have reason to be very upset.
The point is this has not really effected your ava on a "personal" level, you've not lost a ton of ped over it.
You're not sitting there saying Christ I just lost 100K ped for something that was not my fault. You're pissed with MA because they didn't take advice when it was quite valid. MA do that all the time to anyone, no matter who they are or how important they might be in game.
In the scheme of things it's yesterdays news. forget it. Why are you going to destroy your ava over it, sell your LA's, what effect is that going to make. Do you think EMW had changed anything when he "gave away" a ton of ped?
When you wake up in the morning, its going to be a new day, go shoot up some Merry Mayhem, have a laugh. Some noob got lucky....so what. Mistakes happen too, we're human. We live in a world that people demand perfection, at times that doesn't happen.
In a few days its Christmas, relax enjoy your roast dinner, have a few beers.....f**k it. There's more to life, than arguing over a shitty MA mistake....right?
Cheer up dude.

PS: It took me 2 hours to clean the kitchen, its 3am. I better get the bacon sarnie the misses promised in the morning for working so hard. That's what I'm thing about, not an MA screwup.....hahaha.
Just concentrate on your own game, don't play the politics because you will always lose. More to the point there's nothing to be gained from it either.
