I was a bystander most of the time, but I must say these things really look bad. It's not bullet proof hard evidence, but it's good enough for me. Sorry Bruce.

If it turns out this is the same guy, I wouldn't feel sorry for him but for his victims that trusted him with money that he never intended to use to help them out of a bad spot with their homes.

He already admitted it was him.

This forum is too important to the education of the new users to allow these abusers the ability to skew reality to fit their own diseased paradigm.

It used to be too important.  It is not linked from the official Bitcoin site.  Give it time, other forums will be pulling first rank for "Bitcoin Forums"

I still like a lot of the older users on this forum, keeps me comin' back, but I think the newbies see the other options for Bitcoin communities that are maybe more focused toward the Bitcoin discussion they are looking for.

Sociopaths don't apologise, they rationalise. In the sick mind, there are no moral boundries.

Consider how poorly he covered his tracks. Note how he easily discusses in public the raping of children (who are adults). Or of how he travels from place to place perpetuating the same financial scam even after he has been caught and censured by the courts. He clearly does not have the conscience to determine right from wrong.

What I find to be astonishing is, even after my pointing this out TEN MONTHS AGO, it took until now for the truth to finally sink in to the users here.

We are not finished exorcising this devil yet however. There are some moderators of this board who need removing. Word wankers and twisters are liars who are injecting their own agenda into this forum.

The Paxum discussion illustrates this well. The moderator lied and then closed the thread to prevent rebuttal. Since then he has resorted to attacking my character repeatedly. He is just one of those not suitable to moderate our important discussions.

We need to chase these dishonorable clowns back under the rocks they crawled out from under. This forum is too important to the education of the new users to allow these abusers the ability to skew reality to fit their own diseased paradigm.

Bruce, you need to apologize to the community and get out of the way.

He didn't exactly apologize and get out, he made this long speech about how this forum is just full of trolls and children and there's no chance of having any real discussions blah blah, and he's going to go make his own Bitcoin forum with himself as a moderator.

In other words, he's just trying to start a place where he can discuss Bitcoin for his own gain (I smell a mybitcoin replacement coming!) and censor anything that makes him look bad.

I seriously hope his NY court case goes into the crapper and a judge throws him in prison for being a complete sack of shit.

This information makes me sick to my stomach.

Not only is Bruce Wagner guilty of fraud in multiple states, he's also very possibly 'Tom Williams', and even if he isn't, he was aware of the problems with MyBitcoin far before it went offline, and at the very least he accepted money/bitcoin from them to continue advertising what ended up being a total scam.

The entire Bitcoin community needs to cast him out, and expose him as completely as possible. If he's allowed to continue as the face of Bitcoin, there is virtually no chance that Bitcoin will see anything but ultimate death.

Journalists are going to have a field day with this. Awesome.

Bruce, you need to apologize to the community and get out of the way.

An Army of ReTweet-Bots…
Sun 15 Feb 2009

… is better than a band of loyal followers — if you want to get noticed on Twitter.  It looks like someone has built an army of fake Twitter accounts which can re-tweet on command.

Bruce Wagner, a New York City talk-show host and Twitter user, took time out to leave an erudite comment on my previous blog post about TweeterGetter.  Now it is not unexpected that he might have a band of loyal followers.  It is also not unexpected that they might be prompted to re-tweet Bruce’s tweet at the same time or within the same minute as far as anyone can tell.

Pushing these threads into off-topic highlights the fact that at least some of the moderators on this site are complicit in brooce's scam.

If you look at when the most vocal broocy fanbois joined this forum, you can see that they came here together as a group.

They are constantly boosting the brooce or hurling insults and accusations at anyone who questions what they are up to. Twisting other's words, quoting out of context, deleteing posts an otherwise censoring.

Many serious people left this forum last fall because of this. I was forced to come back here recently to defend myself against this allegation that brooce conned into the NY Observer.

But the off topic folder won't stop this discussion and Google will still index it.

Since Brooce was apparently running, state to state, from the victims of his scams, I have to wonder why he left his beloved Thailand? Was he running from there too? I wonder what the Thai police think of bruce? Or perhaps he is Tod Williams when travveling abroad.

And I'm still wondering who paid for those 25K bitcoins that were parked at MBC and what those people were expecting in return.

Stop trying to bury everything Vegetta, you worthless troll.

I'm wondering why someone whose webshop has no contact information at all and whose domain registration was done through a proxy site would want discussion on possible scams to be buried...

True this is off topic. It has nothing to do with Bitcoin.

If Bruce runs the Bitcoin Show, and Bruce is a Scammer and Convicted, yet alone.....this is a good reason to discuss it, vent it, get it behind us and move on. In a few days, this will not be a relevant topic here for discussion, but currently, I see that it is.

Oh hey, someone left a glowing review of the later-to-be-found-scammy business "Bold Funding" years ago. I wonder what the name of this person was...



OM FUCKING GOD!
WOW!!!

Is that a mere coincidence?
Or a REAL Conspiracy?

This can be discussed in the OFF TOPIC section, since it has NOTHING to do with Bitcoins...

The forefront man in Bitcoin PR has nothing to do with Bitcoins? Stop trying to bury everything Vegetta, you worthless troll.
