I am pirateat40 and I approve this message. 
and another dumbass lol
Howdy,
As most of you know the infamous Vandroiy and myself entered into a wager for 5,000 each (10,000 BTC total). If you missed it, you can check it out here https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/putting-your-money-where-pirates-mouth-is-91661.
With the knowledge of what he was up against I must say that I respect Vandroiy’s commitment of following through and placing his money where his mouth is. It’s rarely seen on the Internet and I commend him for it.
With that said, I simply wouldn't have made the wager unless I knew exactly what the outcome would be. So the time has come for Vandroiy to make his final decision.
Vandroiy has the following (2) options to choose from:
Vandroiy has until Thursday at 5:00PM CST to make his decision.
Let the fun begin.

- pirateat40: Will donate the entire wager balance (10,000 BTC) to a charity of the forums choosing.
- Don’t concede the wager and chance the outcome of Aug 14th.
- pirateat40: Nothing changes and pirateat40’s winnings (5,000 BTC) go to the charity of the forums choosing.

lol wat a dumbass...
Not entirely baseless. Read the article, especially the "Red flags" portion. If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and waddles like a duck, it's not a platypus.
Yeah, probably one of these:
Has the outcome of this bet been decided yet? Is the original thread missing, and why?
This thread was a weasly attempt by Pirate to back out knowing what was coming and the realization that he had actually placed 5k in escrow to cover the bet just sinking in.... YARRRRRRRRRR
yes ,it was dirty trick to try and get vandroiy to fold the bet but actually those 5000 coins were BTCST coins until investors get paid in full
did pirate personally lose them ? probably not
so you can see how easy it was for him to gamble 5k outta of the btcst fund
Has the outcome of this bet been decided yet? Is the original thread missing, and why?
long time ago.
Vandroiy of course won.
nope, its there and is linked to in the OP, is it not?

Pirate probably put someone else's money where his mouth is.What a joke of a post. lol
Maybe Vandroiy can put up a 5000btc bounty on pirate's capture 
I think Vandroiy should give me a cut, since I helped him win (I will settle for 2560 BTC)

It's about 10kɃ, which is a significant sum. For all I know Vandroiy is in a tent in the rain somewhere. Personally I'd wait until I was back at home as well.
I would have provided a payment address at the time of the bet, and had it written into the contract. For 10k BTC it's worth someone hacking the forum software to be able to send a PM as Vandroiy but giving their own deposit address.
I don't mind if someone wants to send me 10k BTC while I'm in a tent in the rain. It will be perfectly secure until I get back to civilisation (he writes, from his cabin in the rain in the middle of nowhere...)
smf is common forum that's pretty tested. SR uses same forum, hack them instead if it's so easy

Since Vandroiy is currently traveling, we have agreed via private communication to set up the 10k BTC disbursement of escrowed funds sometime in September, when he is back.
Weird. Vandroiy can't just make an offline wallet, have nanotube send the funds there and verify it via third party tools. His coins not mine but seems strange given the nature of Bitcoin that closing the bet would require waiting.

You should expect your 10,000 BTC payment within 6 hours of this post.
If not, the entire OTC system should be ignored from now on, since it's crap anyway.
Aaand back on ignore.If not, the entire OTC system should be ignored from now on, since it's crap anyway.
