As bitcon suggested, Don Shrents can turn into "Trendon Sh" with an "s" left over. However anyone could do this, and I would think Pirate would be a little more sneaky.  Undecided

Psy´s own local ponzi......he rather flirts with the "internet -detectives", promotes the next scam in his signature and moderates away any critics.

Please, go on. Explain yourself, present evidence or go suck on a donkey.

If pirateat40 is located in Texas, I could collect money from him for those owed.

What would be a fair percentage collection fee?
I guess that would depend upon how you propose collecting the debt.

My mental universe has enough room to allow that BST may not have been a ponzi. At least not by design. Yes, it appears it most likely was, but I consider the matter strictly unresolved.

Accordingly, while I want my coins back, I do not at this point want to get involved with any rubber hose cryptography. But I do want an explanation. From neither team pirate nor team ponzi, but from pirate himself. I am way past out of patience with his jackoff can and mouse irc games.

Do you feel capable of extracting an explanation from him? including not only the nature of the business, but also total inflows and disbursements over time? How would you extract this information from a seemingly unwilling party?

Problem is that only juniors and the other latecomers would have an interest in that ! There are more unwilling parties, all those early heroadapters talking here very well know where
those coins are and have no interest in rolling back the transactions of pirates - scheme including all the bitcoinmaxes, mybitcointrades and Psy´s own local ponzi......he rather flirts with the "internet -detectives", promotes the next scam in his signature and moderates away any critics.

Another pirate "dba"  ?

No. My best guess would be a former client of Trendon's who may have abandoned a project for 1 reason or another, leaving Trendon with control of the domain name.

Pure speculation on my part, but I can't see any other connection making any sense, although I have been wrong and still continue to learn new things daily.

I'm going to suggest that it is a ploy for action to be taken against the wrong person. I would say Trenden Shavers is Pirate, and this Don Shrent is meant to take the blame.

Yeah that much deflection will be ineffective given there is only two names.

Maybe both will get hammered.

I would guess it is a lie, and throw another guess at it being Phinnaeus Gage

I saw him, and it's not me. The mods/admins should be able to confirm that via IP addresses, albeit I'm aware that they can be masked. My guess is that he's just a troll doing it for the lolz. Or maybe it's Atlas doing it as his last hurrah before the US comes a knocking, inquiring about that Mitt leak.

Wait a second! That's exactly what I would pen if I wanted to deflect the attention away from me. But seriously, it's not me.

Wait another second! I bet it's Matthew, hoping to deflect attention away from himself.  Grin
