> So this is the Romanian guy

What relevance does it have that he is Romanian?

Aaah, come on. Putting labels on people based on the country and statistics is a bit stupid. Same as all arabs are terrorists thing.

Yeah sure lots of people from my country ( Bulgaria ) are statistically dodgy, but there are also legitimate ones.

Law says : "Person is innocent, until proven guilty."

Said what?

If I understood your sarcasm correctly, I would assume that according to you statistics describe what people are.

For example. Statistically Sweden right now has the highest amount of rapes in Europe [1]. So it means that most of the Swede are rapist. Hmm.

> And 99% of the Bulgarian visitors to Sweden spend their time sitting on the ground in front of supermarket entrances. So I guess that is what the 99% of people inside Bulgaria do as well?

Wow. I never saw anyone on HN get so low. Ever. In more than 9 years. It appears I was right about you.


Your account is five years old, not nine. Anyway, good night.


My account may be only 5 years old, but I've been here before it was even called hacker news.


Your comments in this thread have broken the HN guidelines. You've been uncivil, inflammatory, and created a flamewar. Please don't do those things again.


What victims were there? My understanding is that there was some game playing with two accounts violating the terms of service. The affected relationship was developer - Apple and Apple has asserted itself here. There was also to the degree I know some misrepresentation of the conflict by the developer.

Afaik. this has not gone to court and both developer and Apple seemed to want to stop talking about it. I believe we should respect this. As we also should respect the nationality and contribution of developers giving away something for free.


Anyone who has used the Apple Appstore is fractionally speaking the loser/victim - he spammed it.

Do you ever wonder what the appstore would be like without spam bullshit? How quality software studios could make money instead of some hack like this buying ratings from a third-party on cookie cutter apps?


For a cookie cutter app, there are zero alternatives with feature parity. It's also notably much, much higher quality than the median app.


> Why is it an issue to mention someone's nationality?

It's not an issue to mention someone's nationality. Intent matters. That is why you don't say "he's just a black murderer from NYC" or "he's just an arab terrorist".

> Do you have perhaps have any pre-conceived ideas around that particular nationality?

No, it seems that you have. What a lame attempt to spin it around. Funny how you edited your post after people called foul, this is your original post: http://i.imgur.com/HaejrYq.png. This link you posted is amusing: http://blog.siftscience.com/2013/global-e-commerce-fraud. Those American scammers!


Yes, it's such a surprise that there would be scamming going around inside the US.
