Did any of those big scale GPU mining ops walk away with profit? Or did they all hang on long enough to just break even or lose money?

Hard to say but most of them likely lost whatever hypothetical profits they could have made in one scam or another. Back during the days of GPU mining it was notoriously difficult to extract real dollars from bitcoin, and not just hypothetical "Mt Gox price * number of bitcoins that I keep in Mt Gox" dollars. I'm sure some of the people building absurd GPU mining rigs walked away with some realized profit, but some large fraction of them probably turned around and sank those profits into unprofitable ASIC mining

Need to install bitcoin, then go to exchange and exchange cash for bitcoin.

The bitcoin install needs 20 gigs because it works by storing every transaction ever made on every client.

This is a lot of work for my weed I added to my web cart. But I guess it's better than getting killed buying from a dealer in the hood?

Curse you, weed!

Lol if you seriously don't have a good source for weed and have to buy it online

seriously it's probably the easiest of the illicit substances to get

Not to mention wouldn't shipping pot through the mail be one of the easier ways to get caught?

Yeah except shipping pot to a drop location that goes through a shipping hub might be a bit risky? Only thing I can think of that's riskier is trying to smuggle it through an airport.

Bitcoin was certainly much more viscerally amusing back when it meant someone was building a monstrosity in their garage that the layperson would call a fire hazard. Now, we have to glean our chuckles from the abstract concept that everyone involved is doing something stupid that will cost them every penny they've spent, like reading a news story about gambling addictions. No one has gotten brain damage from their investment in cloud mining.
