This whole thing is one seriously sad chapter.
In a super huge open book that doesn't seem to be closing any time soon and some actually consider this Bruce Saga as part of a trilogy, the Goxing, the Brucing, and what is next? 
Topic: Has Bruce talked at all about the accusations of fraud against him? (Read 6355 times)

How DARE any of you fire these accusations at BDUB? Bruce wagner is one of the most genuine people i have ever met! He was always willing to talk to me when OOTV was running, always happy to explain himself, he is all about transparency! I would feel ashamed of myself were I to be in your shoes.
Bruce is just what bit coin needs! A good face with a good heart to help get the good word out about bc! I can only hope to be as great and loveing of a man as he some day.

all i know is that in 5 years I have seen no sign of it, prostitutes, yes Ive seen thousands, child prostitutes, not one so far
No child prostitutes? What about "really short" prostitutes?I don't think anyone is portraying Pattaya as some sort of place where there are big "SEXY PRETEEN BOYS" neon signs or anything. I was also critical of the accusations of pedophilia against Bruce Wagner, until he decided to lie about what he did and didn't write in a thread about seducing virgins for 500 baht.
I understand that there is another side to Pattaya, but the fact remains, incidents of child prostitution are much higher in parts of Asia. Pattaya is known for being a 'prostitution paradise'. And where there's prostitution, there's child prostitution. Hotel staff in Pattaya are specifically trained to warn guests that its illegal, and there are many Pattaya-specific outreach programs for the children that end up there.
And just because you don't personally witness something doesn't mean it isn't rampant. Do you frequent sex clubs, or just the streets? Are you a western tourist, or a local?

Didn't read this entire thread, but I'm a regular at the something awful forums, and it's true they have an irrational hatred of bitcoins. There was a huge thread on them and a ton of people seem almost personally offended by the fact that these things exist. It was so annoying that I had to stop following it because I would make one vague claim about these being cool and 20 people would jump on me for being an idiot.
That said, the forums there are the best on the internet all things considered, and being close minded about some dorky things is just the nature of the beast there.

Prostitution is illegal in Thailand, period. So your claims that it 'doesn't happen' because it's 'illegal' are flawed.
Is that any different from the US. where did I claim that it "doesnt happen" or that legality is the reason it doesn't happen? Quote
estimates of the number of children involved in prostitution living in Thailand ranges from 12,000 to the hundreds of thousands (ECPAT International).
thats a 20 fold difference, I wouldnt call that an estimate, I would call it a wild guessQuote
*Thailand's own* research estimates that 40% of all prostitutes in Thailand are children. You're crazy if you think it's 'no more' than any other city.
they sure hide them well, I wonder what the research involved?so how many child prostitutes are there estimated to be in the US?

as a resident of Pattaya I would like to point out that there is no more underage prostitution here then in any other city in the world. Yes there is a lot of prostitution, the economy is based on it ever since the US military started coming here, but underage prostitution is illegal here, same as most western countries. In 5 years I have never seen children being sold and never been offered any. I have no doubt there is child prostitution here if you look hard enough as it is in every city in the world. I know that wont sell many newspapers in the west but thats the way it is.
What is your nationality?

According to the US-based research institute “Protection Project”, estimates of the number of children involved in prostitution living in Thailand ranges from 12,000 to the hundreds of thousands (ECPAT International). The government, university researchers, and NGOs estimated that there are as many as 30,000 to 40,000 prostitutes under 18 years of age, not including foreign migrants (US Department of State, 2005b). Thailand’s Health System Research Institute estimates that children in prostitution make up 40% of prostitutes in Thailand.

So just to be clear here: No, Bruce has never talked about the accusations of fraud against him?
He has, he explained that his business did collapse and some people lost money but this was not a result of fraud, he did his best but was unable to help them like he intended. Businesses collapse all the time, that doesn't mean they are scams.

I sir, am feeling the praises, through out my body
I'm joinin' together now, right here in bitcointalk, with BitcoinPorn, and we're singin' HALLELUJAH in unison.And then, amen.
There's cake in the social hall after.
September 05, 2011, 09:14:08 AM
Amen, brother, and this applies never more intensely when you're a right bastard who ought to burn in righteous hell fire forever.
CAN I GET AN AMEN?
