I think calling Brock Pierce a pedophile is premature and somewhat ludicrous.  As far as I can tell, he has not been charged criminally with any sex crimes, much less convicted.  Anyone can sue anybody for anything.  Civil lawsuits mean absolutely nothing, whether they are for 'fraud' or 'sexual assault' or anything else.  Companies and individuals get sued all the time for good reasons, bad reasons, and often no reasons at all.

That being said, I'm still opposed to the appointment of Brock Pierce, as he seems to be a venture capital darling and nothing more.  Then again, I'm opposed to the Bitcoin Foundation itself and the direction it is heading.  It seems to me they are trying to centralize Bitcoin especially with their support of mega-ponzi schemes like CoinBase and formerly Gox.  Instead, they should be focusing on decentralization and anonymity exemplified by Amir Taaki and Cody Wilson's Dark Wallet, David Johnston's Mastercoin, Ethereum, and other real innovations.

Raising MtGox from the dead like Lazarus seems like a bad, bad idea ...
Even being a potential pedophile is enough to not get him elected. Charges don't matter that much, was Mark being charged for something? Not really, but look what a fiasco he has caused.
The Foundation should seriously watch more carefully who they put on the board.

the best conartists are always the ones that people think "he seems a good guy", purely because they have a photogenic face, yet those calling him a good guy have never done a true background check on him.. and they always act sooo surprised after he has conned them

"... but he seemed such a good guy, i never knew what he was really upto, until now"
If we are judging Brock Pierce solely based on his "photogenic" face, I'd have to go with Guilty.  Looks very creepy and pedo-ey to me.
Of course I have no clue what the truth is.  It would really suck if he's a great guy and it's a witch hunt.  
Either way, I'd say no to babysitting or being the public face of a foundation for him for the time being.

Hell, I could have easily done the money trail thingie, of which pales to comparison somewhat, but opted to shed light on Brock Pierce via the eliciting-of-emotions route first. If I presented the money trail first, it could have been swept under the rug as no-count, whereupon the paedo- claims follow-up would have been viewed upon as a witch-hunt.

"It just scares me you know, cause well see a lot of people ride their horses alpacas around here,"

"This doesn't happen in this area,"

"I don't think this should shine any type of an unpleasant or unkind reflection on our community,"

"Everything is just so quiet and just the concern is just how could it happen you know, why did it happen you know. I don't know,"

Oh right, he's the one that survived childbirth.

Well, that didn't last long!

Foolishly thought some people here were rational humans capable of thought.  Sorry, I was in the wrong place.  Go back to your virtual worlds.  Don't bother posting me.  Out of this going back to real life and rational beings who don't live life speculating on things they really don't know about.  Have a nice day folks.

I wonder why the Bitcoin Foundation always has some bad members?

Steve Beauregard seems like a good guy.  Maybe he should weight in and defend Pierce.

You people are pathetic. So much for presumed innocent until proven guilty. It makes me think you have a personal vendetta against him. Maybe your guy didn't make the cut for Bitcoin foundation.  Maybe work for Visa MasterCard or a major bank that is threatened by Bitcoin. Are you lobbyists?   Have you been consigned to disrupt the Bitcoin ecosystem and take everyone eye off of the real goal of spreading the word about how Bitcoin and other alt currencies will disrupt the old boys club of international wealth and let mainstream people bank for themselves without fees and restrictions?  Maybe you're too naïve to understand that there are legal proceedings in which innocent people are not allowed to speak about it. The inability to speak about a legal case does not imply guilt.  Yet many of you are ready to crucify Mr. Pierce without any personal knowledge of him or any circumstances surrounding allegations.  At best you're ill informed and naive, at worst you are hired guns trying to bring us all down and hiding like cowards behind internet anonymity.  

We're pathetic! Perhaps, if were able to hang with your friends awhile, we can change.



Perhaps, over some wine while in attendance with the above and Brock Pierce as shown here in 2011: http://www.panacheprivee.com/Web/BeSeen/BogartWineDinner11/2011_Bogart_Wine_Dinner.asp

Or at the same event in 2009 with Brock Pierce and Autumn Radtke (RIP, due to a suicide(?)) as seen here: http://www.panacheprivee.com/File/Autumn_Radtke/



Remember, John's brother was the last to see Autumn alive. I wonder if Steven is an anesthesiologist and expert witness also. I'm just saying!  Shocked

Thanks for the Ad Bruce.  As you can see, I haven't done much with my life. 

It's Bruno. Bruce is my brother. See how using real names work?

A noob with 7 post signs up to defend Pierce.

He's damaged goods and does not belong on a "legitimate" foundation board.  Period.
