Why would one need to payout everyone at once (after two weeks where interest has increased the amount owed by ~$1M) in order to stop the bleeding? We is paying 1% per day on the oustanding balance. The way to reduce the bleeding is simple ... pay down some/all of the debt. The quicker and the more he pays the less capitalized interest he accrues.
Hypothetically if Pirate had paid 100K BTC on Friday it would have saved him almost 10K in interest so far.
Hell Pirate claimed to have 30K in personal (non ponzi) BTC. Using that to pay down the debt early would have saved him 3K in BTC.
Even weirder is why he thinks that would that piss people off "Oh man I got my money all at once... grr."
I hope he had some really good dreams; it has and continues to cost him ~$2,000 per hour.

[01:13] <@pirateat40> I'm doing everything in my power within the contracts of the "Real World" to get things moving as fast as possible. If, I end up losing the bets and spending everything I worked for to make things right I will. I will not be giving any additional times or dates until I know exactly when things will happen.
This is good news for the true believers. They will always be able to dream of getting their money back.

[2012/08/26 19:03:35] I'd just like to say, I never expected all this madness when I shutdown BS&T. It's been a lot more work than I could have even thought and I simply messed up. In hindsight, I shouldn't have stopped things so suddenly. Although it was nice to finally get some sleep, things have been spiraling out of control this week and pushing my personal deadlines.
[2012/08/26 19:06:09] At this point and in an attempt to stop the bleeding (interest) I'm going to be forced to payout everyone at once, which I'm sure will piss off enough people to counter the lack of payouts but I don't see any other way of handling this.
[2012/08/26 19:09:47] My concern is not "winning" the bet as much as it is "donating" the winnings. With the events of this week causing delays, 5K worth of coins is a piece of sand compared to the amount of money I'm losing every hour.

[2012/08/26 19:17:40] <@pirateat40> I know you guys want updates and communication, but I'm somewhat muted by the personal attacks and legalities of whats going on. There is a lot more to this story than just "Send me back my coins." If I had all the coins just sitting around I would've has this wrapped up a long time ago.

I'm not sure why paying out everyone at once will piss anyone off (aside from the ponzi trolls). If everyone gets their money, then great

I am not going to do it.
Someone will.
It WILL place heat on this guy whether you think so or not.
So, how much did you invest in pirate?Someone will.
It WILL place heat on this guy whether you think so or not.
Welllll, I had about 80 - 100 BTC invested in Pirate through BTCMAX BEFORE he dropped rates.
Once he did, I cashed out completely.
THEN, I decided to make a few small investments in Bitcoinmax and another derivative security. These total under 10 BTC.
