[10/25/2012 4:26:00 PM] BangkokGuy: Like he's stolen millions, I'm pretty sure the only reason he was boasting was because he was drunk
[10/25/2012 4:27:03 PM] BangkokGuy: What do you want to find out? Name of his hotel?
[10/25/2012 4:27:11 PM] BangkokGuy: I could do that without being suspicious

[10/25/2012 4:31:44 PM] BangkokGuy: and he was like "I can top that"
[10/25/2012 4:31:49 PM] BangkokGuy: He had an ego for sure
[10/25/2012 4:31:53 PM] BangkokGuy: And like I say, I thought he was lying
[10/25/2012 4:32:08 PM] BCB: ok he has an ego
[10/25/2012 4:32:11 PM] BCB: that is our in
[10/25/2012 4:32:18 PM] BCB: if he starts talkiing about it again
[10/25/2012 4:32:27 PM] BangkokGuy: I could lead him onto the story
[10/25/2012 4:32:34 PM] BangkokGuy: Unless he's like "Nah I don't wanna talk about that"
[10/25/2012 4:32:39 PM] BCB: yea
[10/25/2012 4:32:43 PM] BCB: you have to be careful
[10/25/2012 4:33:05 PM] BangkokGuy: I think it'll be ok, because I had no fucking idea what Bitcoin was, he could see that, I got him to explain it to me VERY slowly
[10/25/2012 4:33:12 PM] BangkokGuy: To be honest I still don't understand the mining thing
[10/25/2012 4:33:28 PM] BangkokGuy: But that's not important, haha, I don't think I ever will
[10/25/2012 4:33:39 PM] BCB: but that's perfect
[10/25/2012 4:33:44 PM] BangkokGuy: Yeah, exactly. He'll never suspect

[10/25/2012 4:34:51 PM] BangkokGuy: Typical con artist right
[10/25/2012 4:34:54 PM] BCB: right
[10/25/2012 4:35:18 PM] BangkokGuy: I don't think he'll try and con me though. It's pretty clear I have no money, haha
[10/25/2012 4:35:29 PM] BCB: but's that's good
[10/25/2012 4:35:37 PM] BCB: he need a friend right now
[10/25/2012 4:36:04 PM] BangkokGuy: Yeah he was alone, he cut a pretty sad figure I gotta be honest, that's why I thought he made the whole thing up
[10/25/2012 4:36:18 PM] BangkokGuy: I mean he didn't look sad but he seemed very alone y'know
[10/25/2012 4:37:55 PM] BangkokGuy: Yeah he'll love that, I mean I was kinda like that, not sucking up but it was a great story
[10/25/2012 4:38:08 PM] BangkokGuy: Everyone in the bar was pretty transfixed

[10/25/2012 4:42:37 PM] BangkokGuy: No, none of them had any name on them
[10/25/2012 4:42:48 PM] BangkokGuy: That's why I was like "Yea bullshit, Swiss bank" etc.
[10/25/2012 4:43:09 PM] BangkokGuy: He didn't say anything about still having money in Bitcoin though, so I can find that out for you

[10/25/2012 4:43:43 PM] BCB: don't use those words
[10/25/2012 4:44:01 PM] BCB: but you have to ask him how he kept track of it all
[10/25/2012 4:44:12 PM] BangkokGuy: and I should try and find out where his server is?
[10/25/2012 4:44:17 PM] BangkokGuy: Like where it is hosted?
[10/25/2012 4:45:16 PM] BCB: basically is a computerized spread sheet that has the name and address and amount of all the money he stole
[10/25/2012 4:45:27 PM] BangkokGuy: Also there were other people at the bar man, he could have traded numbers with them or made friends in some other way
[10/25/2012 4:45:34 PM] BangkokGuy: So I will check that out

[10/25/2012 4:45:57 PM] BangkokGuy: From the bar
[10/25/2012 4:46:01 PM] BCB: he's very smart and very clever
[10/25/2012 4:46:10 PM] BCB: I'd not let on to ANYONE that you are part of this
[10/25/2012 4:46:14 PM] BangkokGuy: Ok

[10/25/2012 4:47:09 PM] BangkokGuy: Bringing down an international computer criminal, haha
[10/25/2012 4:47:26 PM] BCB: yes
[10/25/2012 4:47:45 PM] BangkokGuy: Dude like I said, earlier on today, I was like, I'll google that guy
[10/25/2012 4:48:07 PM] BangkokGuy: What was his name again, oh yeah, Trendon Shaversa
[10/25/2012 4:48:13 PM] BangkokGuy: and then I find ALL this shit
[10/25/2012 4:48:14 PM] BangkokGuy: and I'm like "Whoa he's legit"
[10/25/2012 4:48:26 PM] BangkokGuy: Well not legit, haha, very not legit
[10/25/2012 4:48:42 PM] BCB: But he wasn't bullshitting you
[10/25/2012 4:48:48 PM] BCB: he loves to brag about it
[10/25/2012 4:48:49 PM] BangkokGuy: But you know what I mean. I was really surprised. $5m big ones
[10/25/2012 4:50:07 PM] BangkokGuy: Well the only criminals here are Thai, haha. Thai or stupid. Because if you are a white guy caught doing a crime here, you are fucked. Other countries they just deport you, here they send you to their fucking worst prison for 7 years for almost anything
[10/25/2012 4:50:08 PM] BangkokGuy: THEN deport you
[10/25/2012 4:50:16 PM] BangkokGuy: So I'm not scared of him
[10/25/2012 4:50:46 PM] BangkokGuy: I gotta say though he didn't seem like the typical computer geek. I guess they come in all sizes. I would have taken him for like an athletic type or something
[10/25/2012 4:51:26 PM] BCB: there are guy that he was friend with
[10/25/2012 4:51:49 PM] BCB: they he fucked over for hundereds of thousands of dollars
[10/25/2012 4:51:56 PM] BangkokGuy: Shiiit.
[10/25/2012 4:52:02 PM] BangkokGuy: Yeah I guess he had to be their friend
[10/25/2012 4:52:09 PM] BangkokGuy: Otherwise, why would they give him all that money
[10/25/2012 4:52:29 PM] BCB: but that is how it works
[10/25/2012 4:52:59 PM] BangkokGuy: Oh one other thing, I dunno if this helps you, but he paid for all our drinks all night. After we got talking to him. He was buying French wine, which is super expensive here
[10/25/2012 4:53:07 PM] BangkokGuy: Bottles of it, and then sharing. Lots
[10/25/2012 4:53:24 PM] BCB: he has millions in stolen funds and he likes spending it
[10/25/2012 4:53:29 PM] BangkokGuy: Yeah clearly
[10/25/2012 4:53:54 PM] BangkokGuy: He had plenty of cash on him as well. 5000 bhat notes. But he was scruffy as hell, he was wearing shorts and trainers
[10/25/2012 4:54:01 PM] BangkokGuy: What you guys call sneakers
[10/25/2012 4:54:05 PM] BangkokGuy: Like, rough old ones
[10/25/2012 4:54:16 PM] BangkokGuy: That's why I was like "A millionaire would have better shoes"
[10/25/2012 4:54:16 PM] BCB: probbably didn't have time to pack!
[10/25/2012 4:54:30 PM] BangkokGuy: Yeah maybe!
[10/25/2012 4:54:47 PM] BangkokGuy: He could pick up way better shoes than that here though, I guess he is trying to keep a low profile, when he's not had too much to drink
[10/25/2012 4:55:24 PM] BangkokGuy: Dude I'm going to have to get to bed, it's almost 5am here. I'm not working until the afternoon, but still
[10/25/2012 4:55:32 PM] BCB: hang on ...
[10/25/2012 4:55:38 PM] BCB: let me get you some name
[10/25/2012 4:55:42 PM] BCB: one sec

[10/25/2012 4:58:32 PM] BangkokGuy: I won't
[10/25/2012 4:58:39 PM] BangkokGuy: Yeah I'll keep myself sober
[10/25/2012 4:58:44 PM] BangkokGuy: Man I hope he is there! I am excited about this shit now, haha
