I came to the same conclusion.  It is possible he may have worked there around the same time. My hunch is that he may have been in some sort of technical position and had access to the merchantile login while in that capacity.

His brother is in IT and has connections to the same person (and may have worked there too).  

I'm not sure what value there'd be to contacting pirate's previous employers.  With the exception of his younger brother, his family seems fairly stable and unlikely to up and disappear even if Trendon does.

It would be hard to just get up and leave as he has a wife with twins.  I assume the twins are not his but from his wife's first husband.

Has anyone called the other place of work in texas. The real estate one?

I dont have those details on me.

Stonebridge is the company him and his wife are renting an apartment from. Unless there was some info leading one to belive he worked there that I missed..??

Interesting.... if he is renting that does not fit with the hot water heater story...

I believe he rents, but not an apartment.  When I was thinking of investing in one of the PPTs I did some background research on the person people claimed pirate to be.

Searching for Trendon Shavers I came across the address:
2304 S. Custer Road Apt 1507 just as it listed here

but I also came across:
2812 Glen Hollow Drive, McKinney, TX 75070.
**EDIT: Nevermind owned by a LAURA LEE REYES.
You can scroll down that page and see that the house was sold in 2010 to Reyes from the Shavers.

What made me curious was that it is only a short distance from the registration address of buscog.com

What leads you to believe he works there?  Him and his wife got a mortgage through that company back in 2007. Other than that, I've seen no validated connection between that company and him.


He co-owns a company with someone who was lead programmer at The Lending Partners years ago but I can't find any direct connections between Trendon and TLP.

Bitlane never did state where that msg came from that was signed as if by Pirate @ that company..  Would really like to know where that msg came from?  If it was emailed, did you check the msg headers?

He gave praise and complements of the guy and said he was "very smart" and in general seemed to be well liked.

Classic ponzi trick. He's nice and appears trustworthy with coworkers so when ponzi victims fall more easily into his scam.
I'm confused. Does this mean you've stopped supporting pirate?

You didn't think I could be serious, did you? Been nice at work, a ponzi trick?

Pretending to be joking about classic ponzi tricks involving being nice at work is a classic ponzi trick.

So, we have confirmation that Trendon Shavers (or whatever the heck his name was) is actually pirateat40 and does actually live in Texas, according to someone who met him in person and identified him via publicly-available photos?

Why hasn't someone just driven to the dude's apartment to see what's up?

Woah.. So GPUMax is part of the ponzi? 2 ponzi' for the price of 1 ?

Which means that the co-owners of the LLC can potentially be pursued in addition to pirate.

do you know how an LLC works and one of the benefits of an LLC?

Do you know that pirate admitted that BS&T and GPUMax co-mingled funds and that co-mingling funds is one of the things which can remove exemption from personal liability?

Everyone understands the Limitation of liability, but a weak understanding of the law on Trendon's behalf and admission of co-mingling of funds does 'for security reasons' not make him exempt....
By his own admission, illicit funds were funneled through a FRONT, to help feed a legitimate company. THIS puts GPUMAX on 'the table' if the BTCST 'Scam' comes to 100% fruition in the end.

I think they're talking about The Lending Partners.  Someone mentioned that he's said he's a director of that company, although there's nothing on the company's website which confirms he has any association with them.

Was the company the Lending Partners in Plano Texas?

Thought, it is probably not a good idea to let anyone else know what is going on with the bitcoin loans.  Better to just tell the person that Mr. Shavers listed this company as a reference or previous work employment.  A detective would not give away what they are trying to detect.

All marriages in the state of Texas is also listed publically.  Pirate also listed that he had a hot check warrent from Midland, Texas.  The same person and his family went from Midland to McKinney Texas and own property in Collins County, Texas.

Someone posted some information about pirate40 the other day:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1135106

I just saw it on my lunch break and figured 'what the hell' and decided to give the numbers a call and ask if anyone knew this "Trendon Shavers" name. It sounded like a BS name but from what I can tell it's actually a real name. The person I spoke to said Trendon used to work there a few months ago as an "IT guy". He gave praise and complements of the guy and said he was "very smart" and in general seemed to be well liked. I asked if he knew anything about this fiasco and he said he did not. I directed him to "google pirate40" to see what it's about.

One thing I want to make extremely clear is I told anyone I called that I'm just asking questions and I'm "just a guy from the Internet" and made sure to let people know that this is NOT a character judgement - it's just business and I'm just curious what has/is happening. I also made it clear I have no investments with him - it's purely my self interest / the detective in me.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, the person I spoke with said he hasn't been there for almost 2 months since he last came in to help them.
