this could be quite interesting if PG did actually pay the dues.. all the drama that would ensue if he gets in and starts calling brock out. as a bystander, i would be at least entertained. so PG, how do you intend to bug him? and did you read all the fine print on membership.. as in could they just boot your ass and keep you BTC if you become such a nuisance? and if these guys are just taking the membership money to launder, don't you think that losing your 100k of btc kinda helps them out?

Wow dude you just pay 100k to join there group why?
And if you want to do something to disrupt them why are you posting it for everyone to see?
Can someone explain what the TBF group is and does?

Maybe because with the publicity, they can't ignore him.

For shits and giggles I wanted to see if I could sign up via using a fake name, address, and a zip code that doesn't even match the state I claimed to live in, let alone have a named street in an also made up city not located in said state. (DO NOT TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, AND TRY IT YOURSELF)
Results: No problem whatsoever, whereupon I was greeted with the following:
https://members.bitcoinfoundation.org/membership/individual/payment
The newly created bitcoin wallet address (0 tx) was generated on TBF's end, and not via some service provided, i.e. BitPay.
Surely, The Bitcoin Foundation isn't using their efforts as some sort of money laundering scheme as some have suggested, are they? With Brock Pierce at the helm, I'm sure if such were the case, the practice WILL be put a stop to.

Surely, you're not one of those dudes that orders bitcoin miners from newly created websites sans reading the site or doing due diligence, are you?

I was hoping PG could really stir something up from the inside 
This was a good prank though... got people thinking where did the coins go? Now, can we force a response or something out of TBF? The community needs to see a transaction id of the knc membership fee dated before the vote.
Someone form here must a member of the TBF. Please ask for us on TBF forum.

Not where did the bitcoins go, but why they weren't sent in the first place.
Can't wait to see if TBF produces some other bitcoin wallet address(es).

You are the one. Opening our eyes.
May 23, 2014, 04:08:00 PM
Wow. Congrats! Bring some good ideas to the board! Just curious, did you get all of these bitcoins from donations? Out of pocket? Mining?
May 23, 2014, 03:59:36 PM
PG master troll(on point tho) at it again, and it was the first thing I thought when I saw this thread, but when I was scrolling the transaction I was expecting to see some big recent movement, including KNC and tons of gold members and stroke right away, but I guess there is another adress, again Bruno wins the internet good job, now he needs to share his master plan to drive those pedo bears out of the house

Thanks for the reach-around. 
Reach-around..? Isn't that a sexual act? I don't think that I get what you mean.. I'm quite capable in English, but this surpasses my knowledge. Sorry 
The sexual aspect is exactly what I was implying, albeit in a humorous manner as my special way of thanking your for the kudos, with apologies for spreading any coodies.
May 23, 2014, 03:33:35 PM
kudos to you Bruno for having raised the knc - tfb affair
You really think his name is Bruno?
Yes it is, bud. I even once posted pics of my real IL DL sans masking off the ID #, and can easily do such again. To be clear, none of the pics were photoshopped, et al. in any way.
PG has iron balls. BFL slandered him many times on this forum and published private info. PG embraced this, turned the other cheek and has reclaimed his credibility here. more kudos to PG.

That's me in Las Vegas at the Bitcoin conference, bringing awareness to http://thetutuproject.com/, of which I'm not affiliated in any way, shape or form, sans being a supporter, unlike other notable bitcoiners having charities to further line their own pockets, but can't seem to pony up twenty-five bucks for a TBF membership even though they champion their guy, Brock Pierce, to chair a seat (next to a table with Teen Beat mags atop).
You don't know how much I respect you right now.Thanks for the reach-around.

whether you like PG or not, he sure brings the entertainment and drama to bitcointalk.org 
Sadly, I wish such was based simply on trolling oppose to using such to spread what's, unfortunately, the truth. There is no fuckin' way that all I've connected to date is just from my imagination, sans the jacking-off to Teen Beat part, albeit an argument could be made.

He kinda looks like Santa Claus with a Tutu.

Really? Or are you fucking with me? Bruno, please confirm -snip-
Anyway, it's a nice reuse you did there dude. I doubt KnC can/will answer your question though.
