And let me guess--Thomas Van Riper is going to run a similar Craigslist ad in Texas, this one stemming from New York.

Using the timestamp (above) as to when the ad was placed, I'd say Pastor Tom's had a few too many, then after speaking with da Lord in Tongues, he penned the following:

i have been taking bitcoins and paying 7 percent on your investment every week
serious inquires only ive been in business for almost two years
minimum bitcoin investment is 3 bit coins
you can send them to this address15a6BzXmUotQvRabDbDiTgR54zAh2KK63E
sending more than 10 bitcoins will result in a 10 percent return per week and i will give back the initial investment if you are unhappy

Pirate was capable of using capital letters and punctuation.  Interesting to see someone trying to operate a clone through Craigslist, though.

Hi All,

This just came in from google alerts;-

http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/acc/3604579148.html

I have to say, it made me smile with a bit of nostalgia, I hope no one takes him up on his offer though.
