Even if pirateat40 start paying now there is no time for the contisions to be met for matthew to win.
Let's recap a bit from the other thread.

Thank you everyone for showing a huge amount of integrity to bet for your beliefs instead of just arguing, defaming, accusing, aggravating, etc. Many of you truly believe Pirate is a ponzi, many of you are simply utilizing my offer for hedging, and still others are simply happy to take a 50/50 chance bet on anything. Regardless, we are at the 10,000BTC mark and thus I am locking the thread so that no more bets can be received here.
I still believe there is a very high chance that Pirate is just doing a business which we don't understand, and my sinking gut, although questioning his lack of professionalism, lateness, etc, reminds me that no one is perfect and it may all just be a series of bad coincidences. I hope I am right and that I am able to prove to the community once and for all that what we don't understand is not always a scam. If I happen to be wrong, I'm happy to have enjoyed this entertaining time with everyone, and I've actually made quite a lot of new friends (as you can imagine).
The original OP states that the bet ends 3 weeks after August 19, 2012, 04:49:20 PM, so that means it ends on September 9th, 2012, 04:49:20 PM KST (Korean Standard Time, local to me). I think I had mentioned a slightly longer deadline elsewhere on IRC out of confusion (September 12th perhaps?), but this is incorrect as you can clearly see. The bet will also end if Pirate has provided proof of paying back all (not 99.9%) of his obligated debts and interests per agreements, whichever comes first.
Good luck to everyone and thank you for participating in this monumental lesson for all of us.

8 hours, 14 minutes, 12 seconds
I love the part where people are arguing about why something happened that hasn't happened. Keep the comedy coming! (It's 15 hours left on the bet btw, not 8. This is how lazy the fudding has gotten lately. I am disappoint.)
On the timeline you gave (quoted above) it's now exactly 7 hours, 23 minutes, 45 seconds.
This was corrected on IRC and is old news. Check the thread OP and do the math.
First deadline expired. Second timeline after Matthew chickened first, 6 hours 3 minutes to go.
Nope it is over, indeed well and truly over, and it has been for while now, it was over even before it was over 
Nobody will get any money.
It is just denial and all the other stages of grief left.
It wasn't over until we found out just how many of the other investments that claimed to have nothing to do with Pirate had actually put large proportions of their money in BS&T. (Spoiler: quite a lot of them!) Nobody will get any money.It is just denial and all the other stages of grief left.
Huh. Apparently no such thing as nanoBitcoin or picoBitcoin. Ten nanoBTC is the smallest unit we have.
Yeah, you can't send Bitcoins in units smaller than 10^-8 BTC.

Can someone please clarify when it actually ends please?
And Matt, I have only just seen your thread. Is it possible to make a 100 BTC bet?
edit: Reduced bet amount because I have an idea for something else.

So how long do you suppose theymos will give Matthew to pay before he gives him a scammer tag?
Matthew: Where's my money? ...You've got till five o'clock...
You'd think that a guy championing this great of a bet would be on when the clock rolled over.
It seems he confused his timezone(KST) with GMT+1
You need to wait till 16:49:20 GMT+1, so, 8 hours from now.

Ok Matthew, time to pay up.
Huh. Apparently no such thing as nanoBitcoin or picoBitcoin. Ten nanoBTC is the smallest unit we have.
Or 10000 picoBitcoin. Sort of like some hyperinflated fiat currency.
I will bet up to 100000 Satoshis in total that MNW will pay all his betting debts within 48 hours of his assumed loss.
"It's just bets all the way down."

just say 10^-8 BTC.
