You're exaggerating again. He's not threatening to kill you. He's only threatening to break your arms and/or fingers.

Either I didn't read it that way, or killing somebody would accomplish the same thing, i.e.typing anything at all wont be something you'll be able do anymore, and that's not a threat.

But, for sake of argument, isn't breaking somebody's bones considered a threat?

Technically, breaking off the arms and/or fingers won't completely stop a person's ability to type.  They would have to disable every single part of the body that COULD touch and push down on a keyboard.  So yeah, it kind of is a death threat Roll Eyes

With voice recognition software you might have to go even further.

atleast it proves one thing, AMT are scum,

for instance alot of people hate Apple for many reasons
their itunes softare is crap
they blockd bitcoin apps
thir prices are extortionate

but do they make death threats, no,

AMT sound like scammy basement dwellers that live with their parents. no professionalism, no regard for reputation, no forward thinking about PR.

i think we should all go on a scam accusation war against AMT.. afterall, they cant kill all of us.
so if you have a blog, or contacts in all the bitcoin media sites then inform the world of your negative opinions of AMT. if they think they can stop one person from tainting their sham.. then try a few hundred.

then they would be less likely to pick on bruno as there are hundreds of other people also tainting their name. making any death threat to a single person useless

You should have a look at this http://gizmodo.com/5427058/apple-gestapo-how-apple-hunts-down-leaks


As far as Bruno, you should (as I see you have already) report it. At the very least it creates a history in case God forbid anything happens.

I just got the phone with the Sandwich, IL, PD, and the women concurs that all they can do is take a statement so that the information in on file.

First, I have staff on this forum steal my 1,132 BTC, now I have an unstable Bulgarian wanting to kill me. Here's proof as to how unstable Joshua Zipkin truly is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7Dgp43QMzc

Glad you reported it. Also glad you reported it here. I will never do business with anyone associated with them.

You should report it to the police. It is not serious now, but it could get ugly. In the bitcoin world, he could very easily transfer a few bitcoins and have you "hurt" within seconds. You could in return find his address, which you seemed to do so well too, and send him a bouquet of flowers Cool

Agree with this guy. The Police will most likely put you under surveillance. And if anything happens, the obvious is stated. Should also DoX him, to get leverage over 'em.

He looked at it, and there were witnesses, it's enough. Ad we have recorded the majority of the conversation as well. Should be enough to sue for damages of business and a few other fun things. But we're considering going a different route in the mean time.

Exactly, inquiring minds want to know.

One scenario would be that some other knocks me off, whereupon Joshua Zipkin would get the blame, of which has a Weiss in family.

fwiw I heard about AMT due to some pennsylvania or delaware local news headline about some mining company not delivering and a district court case


so I'd say AMT Miners anger/threats are misdirected, if anything.

Yes, but the police are probably less likely to do anything about it.

I've had some experience with this, you don't report this kind of stuff so the police will do anything about it, you report so you can establish a history in case something does happen. If you are ever involved in an incident, and need to defend yourself in court, or in an investigation, being able to produce a history that's already on the record is invaluable to be able to show that you did fear injury or death.  

Yes Bruno you should report it, it won't take long.

The child who send it is only 14 I think.
This is 2014. Here in gun-obsessed America, our teens acquire guns and use them to kill people all the time. Sadly. I wouldn't take the chance if it was my safety being threatened.

Then again, no one I know has been stupid enough to threaten me.

Serious question, folks: Should I notify the authorities?
Yes, absolutely, without any doubt.

In our world, there is a zero-sum game between reason and violence. When violence thrives, reason is diminished. As reason grows, violence is diminished.

If you want your children and grandchildren to live in a world governed by reason, you must do everything in your power to stop violence - including threats.

Maybe he isn't threatening to break anything.  Maybe he is just threatening to glue his fingers with Super Glue.

i see this as just drama trolling on a forum and that people have better things to do in real life and i think that the police wont do anything about it. if something happened whether the police are informed or not, they can atleast see this forum to see who the suspect is.

the police wont do any 24 hour protection, nor would they do any contacting with other state police departments or other authorities to identify AMT to prevent anything.. so what is the point.

the best bet is to flashmob many blogs and forums to highlight AMT's shady practices.

He's practically asking you to send him to jail.  Do it, report him.  Worst case scenario could be that he makes good on his promise; never know with people these days.

Seriously, I don't care if he's just an internet tough guy that would never do anything.
I STILL think you should notify the police. Threats are threats, and if something does happen to you, and he's already in their system for threatening you; he'll be the prime suspect immediately.

Killing someone is an awful lot of effort to go to just to stop them from typing. Breaking bones is much easier.

I would take it seriously if he did post that.

It was via a PM, hence the screenshot. I can screen shot it again sans my comment if that'll help, bud. Plus, theymos can verify it.

The above PM (with my reply) was just sent to me by Joshua Zipkin of AMT (Advanced Mining Technology, or Technologies, depending on what day it is).

I assume I have to take his threat seriously, given that Josh Zipkin is on record in stating that he's not a liar.

Serious question, folks: Should I notify the authorities?
