1st, let's say the chip in question was one share of stock A costing $107. I buy the stock hoping for it to appriciate, but 7 months after I buy it, the CEO has found that the books were incorrect and the price plummets to $19, will all the owners of the stock after now get to "return" at $107/share. HELL NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2nd, let's say that 3/4 of the known chips were destroyed in a fire, could Pete get the chip back for $107 knowing the value now is $1007. HELL NO!!!!!!!!!!

We all make decisions on the information availible at a specific moment in time. None of us can see the future, cuz if we could, Vega$ would not exist, I would OWN it. It is unfortunate that this individual thinks he got "screwed", he did not, he made decision and is unwilling to live with the risks of that decision. If this individual truely believes that Pete sold something under false pretenses, there are ways to handle the situation legally, and making threats ain't one of them. Grow Up!!!!
