i would just like to explain why i was banned and say goodbye to my friends in 4L. It is true , ~4 years ago, i did scam someone in the transfer thread. I have no excuses. But I was a different person then. I was addicted to ecstasy , cocaine, and opiates and was using them every day heavily. I scammed purely to get high and didnt care about my future and probably didnt see myself even living that long anyways. I didnt care about 2p2 or anyone and saw it purely as an exploitable outlet. I never thought I would come to be part of this community. Since then i have changed a great deal. I quit doing all drugs for 2 years including smoking pot which i had done religiously for 9 years and I swore i'd never touch coke/ex again , which I still havent to this day.

the days leading up to me scamming .. was w/o a doubt the darkest of my life. I had just been robbed for close to 50K cash in a deal gone bad , close to every dollar i had, by one of my best friends who betrayed me. I didnt care about much of anything and was about an inch away from robbing stores/banks/anything to get $$$. I rode around with a loaded firearm and swore if i saw him i would kill him on the spot w/o regard to what would happen. I was in a very bad mindset.

Since then i eventually got tired of being so sick depressed and suicidal and angry and threw that all away. I said enough of this and replaced the anger with forgiveness. Like i said i quit doing drugs (not 100%.. but i dont do it like i used to anymore) and, in that period, discovered 4L. It was an outlet for me and since then i have made some good friends through this site. Since then i have done multiple $1K+ transfers, and wouldnt even think about scamming someone again. TheCanoe , jackitos, bruno can all confirm this along w several other ppl that ive done smaller trades with. But Im not asking to be unbanned or anything. I got perma'd because i posted in the staking threads requesting a stake ,and i was on the scammer list. I told canoe yesterday i'd probably get perma'd.. he and a couple others knew about my past. So .. goodbye 4L i'll miss u guys . I think i made some good threads .. i will leave u with some of my favs:
