See -- you are incapable of actually stating something outright.  Weak efforts at sarcastic humor are your only resource because Logic will not work.

What you are basically saying above, and would come right out and say if you had integrity is:

1) I don't agree that a mission or should be made.  (Reason unspecified, presumably because the past is so bad that there is no purpose in attempting to fix something)
2) I accuse Fenton of attempting to enrich himself off of the foundation



You don't say that because

1) you don't have the integrity to, you'd rather resort to grade school style indirect accusations and

2) it doesn't hold up to logical scrutiny :  first, a mission or plan is a crucial foundation of any organization - second, I've never taken any money at all from the foundation (even though the last 3 Executive Directors were paid)


Easy to hide behind an anonymous name and sling mud on a chat board

Do you have a link on this?

Satoshi Roundtable is a private Bitcoin and crypto retreat taking place Feb 6-8 at a private resort in the Caribbean.  Invitation only and limited to 60 attendees.

You should definitely tell the defense attorneys and especially criminal defendants this, they will be very glad for the news.  

The police and prosecutors might find the "avoiding investigations" part somewhat perplexing though --- also curious about little logistics like how someone even ends up in the magic court without any investigation being made (or wherever this magic deal is made) -- is it an honor system where people not yet accused just walk in and settle or do DAs offices randomly just grab people with no investigation and ask them to settle....that would suck...but perhaps it's overcome by the ability to "settle" and make things go away.

Also curious if this magic court is both civil and criminal....because, being the genius attorney you are you must know that criminal and civil courts are entirely separate and that the state, not people, bring criminal cases.

You reply to my point about not speaking your mind by posting a rambling post with no point, more cryptic references, jokes about egg nog and covering well known existing facts as if they were new information.

What are you getting at with the reference to Apple etc?   That the foundation wasted money?  This was the main point of the OP.

There. Much economy, very few words.

We have an organization, or, at this point, no more than a name, name with tremendously embarrassing past it will never live down.
Now all we have to do is find something for it to do, a goal to fall embarrassingly short of, its raison d'etre, raise a bunch of money and...
Yeah, I know it seems a bit ass-backwards, but see, I'm the Grand Poobah now, and I wanna cash in on this thing, albeit I'm a bit late to the party.
I mean there's money here!

Of course you're right, civil settlements of $4million are not paid to "avoid investigation and indictment." They're paid to victims? (feel free to fill in the blank.)

Of course you're right, civil settlements are not paid to "avoid investigation and indictment." They're paid to ___? (feel free to fill in the blank.

But maybe that's how you folks roll...damn the facts, slander is fun.

With apologies, I'm now confused.   What does me not openly and honestly saying what's on my mind have to do with my dire situation of replenishing my eggnog stock, hopin' to restock once paid a 10% bounty that equates to approximately a hundred bucks if my maths' correct (113,833 X 10% = ~$100 Worth of Quarts of Eggnog)?

Yeah, you guys have got it all figured out....in between implying I'm associated with wrongdoing, calling me a liar and comparing me to Nazis you sprinkle in clever cryptic references to things like Trade Fortress like a group of teenage girls in a bad movie.

If playing games is your thing, have at it.

Are you people incapable of actually openly and honestly saying what is on your mind?

Your goal is to have a clearly stated goal?

>despite no criminal accusation, investigation or indictment
Please. Despite substantial civil settlement to avoid criminal investigation and indictment.

Your goal is to have a clearly stated goal?
You don't find this a bit evasive, as in "playing games"?

I shouldn't have had to tell you that 10 members of the board resigned upon the election of Brock Pierce, and I shouldn't have to tell you what kind of man he is.

But you use lots of words to not tell him. I think we can conclude that bitcoiners aren't all that economical.
