Topic: Lauda back as Ratimov, (alleged) (Read 649 times)

Well as written above, these was just an alleged suspicion but it looks like I have gotten the right one thi time around.
@Ratimov has two alts(one which isn't certain yet)
I'm making proper investigations and I'm gathering valid proofs cus I wouldn't wanna explain much on it when I creat the topic, I'll only drop the proofs and everything making it self explanatory.
So on that note, I'm gonna lock this post for now
Oops.! Came late
Merry Xmas guys

Hm I think that I actually confused Lauda and marlboroza, when it comes to theories who's alt you are. Then again, at one occasion marlboroza told me that he was accused of being Lauda's alt too, so there's that.


I am sure that he is fine. I remember him complaining in local board that he is kinda loosing interest and that he doesn't know what to write anymore, like coming to forum and then spending like half an hour trying to find a post worth a reply, and then in the end just logging off, or something along those lines. After all, nothing wrong in taking a forum break from time to time.

I didn't hear this theory myself, but yeah if you are speaking multiple languages you immediately become a prime suspect in this investigation.
He was not dox'ed at all, but he almost got banned from forum and accused for plagiarism that ruined his dear reputation.
His option was to accept that (probably impossible for Lauda) or to quit and retire on his own terms and become immortal figure.

I don't have any information about him, but I suspect that years of daily smoking famous brand of cigarettes in this forum finally finished him off, in a virtual way.




 

use your system and check what is accusations in Google, check the body composition of your text all about, if their is different between an accusation and what you are deriving at.

that prove is not legit, because that kind of prove is use to tarnish someone's reputation.

So you know all this things, you are still busy pushing him to the wall, when making a reference point, just try to make a cogent points, not like all this your accusations without direction.

that's under assumptions, it is not authentic and concrete, so what will make you to feel so? We are here when lauda resigned from the community, so it's impossible for Ratimov to be lauda.

So, you found potential alt account of Lauda. I already lost count how many alt accounts of Lauda in all these years were found here.
I'm not really sure what's the point of this topic and I don't see any connection between Lauda and Ratimov. Their style of posts, grammar is completely different. And as said, Lauda is from Croatia, Ratimov is Russian.
I wouldn't be surprised if Lauda have alt account here. And I think it's possible to find account which would be more close call than Ratimov.
As you said, Lauda was so private, so, theymos words probably isn't enough proof to say that Lauda is a "he".

Hmm, you don't wanna get involved with these right?
I made these thread and I didn't get anyone pissed off, even Ratimov himself didn't even take it personal then you shouldn't.
I'm not stirring up any drama bud.
I made these thread 3 days ago and have not really concluded some points about these case yet. I'm making investigations on getting more valid proofs then I'll know what to say . You shouldn't be disturbed about the thread because mods are not gonna ban him even if they discovered he is lauda

OP's trollfuckery aside, I don't know why so many users think that Lauda must be using some other account here. He seemed to be wealthy enough and fed up with Bitcointalk's "politics" so that it wouldn't be at all surprising that he found something better to do. Lots of users left over the years. More power to them.

One thing that doesn't quite make sense is the dramatic exit - if you wanna leave just leave - but perhaps Lauda felt that he had a certain reputation to uphold up to and including his last post.

You know that saying "anything is possible when you don't know what you are talking about"? It is perfectly applicable in this situation as you have to be completely clueless about either of those members to think that one is the alt of another. If you spent ~15 minutes comparing  their posting style (while being able to actually comprehend what's being written), you wouldn't even think about them Ratimov being Lauda's alt, let alone creating this absurd thread.


No point really, just throwing shit at the wall, and seeing what sticks.

So what exactly is the point of this thread?
I don't say any point you are trying to make at all. I mean, you haven't even shown us any conclusive evidence showing that the two profiles might be controlled by the same person.

Trying to stir up some drama but in a canning way?

You call it an accusation?
I didn't accuse Ratimov anyways, I only tried to establish an already proven point, don't you get it?
I really like Ratimov alright? He's a cool guy though I haven't dealt with him directly and even on the forum apart from making suggestions for me on my post and meriting quality threads made by me.
 I was just suggesting that they both posses the same xtics and maybe it could be that Ratimov is lauda's alt.
Ratimov shouldn't make this issues very implicating because I heard him said he wanted to send funds to lauda's address so that more suspicions can be made,maybe..!

This is accusations, it's obvious that @ Ratimov and @ launda are two different people, even looking from both work conversations, it's very clear, but I don't really know the benefit of some people attacking people we know very well that can't be the same, launda voluntarily write note of retirement to rest for his dear life, how is it possible that he will use another account to come back to the forum, Ratimov is different person with different characteristics from launda, it's very simple and quite understandable.

I think after a long time over several years spent on the forum, it’s not that easy to just close your browser and turn to something else. as a hobby or as a regular job. if nothing else, at least you get back out of habit to see what's new here.
I also see no reason why anyone would leave a very recognizable account and start all over again. it seems pretty schizophrenic to me.

btw. As you already mentioned marlboroza, do you know is it everything was ok with him, he left quietly.

I think it depends on why Lauda was so secretive about his personal information.

If there was something (he believed) that would put him in danger if his personal information was publically released, Lauda may have decided to leave the forum rather than risk having his personal information leaked. OTOH, Lauda may have decided to burn his Lauda personality to make it more difficult to connect his IRL identity to his online personalities, and to start fresh with a new account.

Another reason to believe they killed 1 account to start another. Whether dox'd or if it was the escrow debacle, I found it convenient for Lauda to disappear.

I am glad that mystery has been solved.
That is a good way of approaching interactions with people. You should treat others as you want to be treated, and you should expect to be treated as you treat others.

The way I read lauda's parting message is that he was dox'ed, or at least partially dox'ed. Given that Lauda left in the middle of the covid-19 pandemic, it is also possible lauda caught covid, had a serious case, and did not want something to happen to his account as happened to Bruno's account.

Prior to leaving the forum, Lauda had been very secretive about his personal information. It is not clear if this was out of necessity, or due to a personal preference. If someone had in fact uncovered some personal information that he wanted to remain private, I would understand why he would retire the Lauda identity.

With that being said, it is unusual for someone to outright leave the forum. IDK if lauda has a new account here, or not. Lauda was very technically inclined, and there are a handful of new users in the Dev and Tech sub with a solid understanding of various technical concepts.

In the Internet, we don't exactly know if anyone tells the truth, in the off chance that you're right then that would be stupid of Lauda to go back to this forum after a tearful (sort of) post about leaving the forum and at the same time Lauda would be betraying the words s/he has said. And why would Lauda try to get in and start all over again when he have a perfectly good forum clout and make another name for himself.

@Ratimov has a liking for trading crypto derivatives and posting about it, Something I never saw Lauda do from the time I join this forum. OP, whatever your goal is. It backfired. Go back to the drawing board. Perhaps you feel bitter about some of your alts getting caught up and tagged, though you keep distancing yourself from it, which makes me think you are guilty conscious.

Lauda left the forum before I came but Ratimov is still around, I don't see any connection between the two accounts.
I don't care if Lauda is still around or not so long as am not guilty and do not promote scam projects why should I worry about who I don't even know, I hard Lauda was notorious is bashing scammers.

While writing in Croatian, Lauda always uses masculine gender. Croatian grammar is way more complex than English and it is quite hard to use gender other than your own, without slipping occasionally.

Some time ago I shared few examples from Lauda's writing in Croatian, and how would it look like if he considered himself female. For me that ends this whole debate about Lauda's gender and I don't bother using that ridiculous "they" or "he/she" when talking about Lauda. He considered himself as "he" when writing in Croatian and for me that's enough.




And that's another reason why OP is completely off, as there is a huge difference in English level between Lauda and Ratimov.

---

That just confirms that old theory that you are one of his alts.

This is most ridiculous thing I heard today.
Yeah, Lauda have the magic ability to have all possible gender identities including regular male and female, he is speaking all world languages including Croatian and Russian, and he owns all bitcointalk profiles.
Lauda can also be in multiple places in the same time, and simple math is showing that Lauda can be Ratimov, because he allegedly owns all other profiles in this forum (if he wants).

Can you guess what his new profile is?
I don't know why that is hard to believe (when people connected him with some old plagiarism), many people left the forum including marlboroza that is not active for months.
nutlidah probably left the forum after moderator temp banned him for one week, and many other before him like Vod for example.

Lauda is not Ratimov and IMO Ratimov is not imitating Lauda although the OP seems to pick up some similarities about the quirks between the two. The OP's conjecture isn't strong enough to be supported by any valid evidence, so I just thought that the OP just wanted to remind us of Lauda who decided to leave the forum a while ago.

The Cats are greatly admired on this forum by most of the users, but he also has a lot of haters who are always willing to remember him forever (tags left) even when he decides to leave this forum.

Is it like this? 

I'm almost certain Lauda is a "he", because Theymos referred to Lauda as such one time, though that's making the assumption that Theymos knew enough about Lauda to know that particular fact.  But since Lauda was so private, even about gender, I usually tiptoed around it when referring to him/her.  Do you happen to have the scoop on that?

You're probably right about Lauda still hanging around bitcointalk, even if that means just lurking.  Then again, I'm not sure he'd be able to refrain from chiming in on certain issues, so who knows?  I also don't think it'd be possible for Lauda to use an alt, because someone would probably pick up on that right away.  OP here obviously tried to do that, but in this case he's wrong.  If Lauda really did have an alt roaming around the forum right now, I doubt he'd be able to mask his style of posting for very long, since it was unique and usually very inflammatory.

Lauda's English was impeccable, by the way.  I always thought he was a native English speaker, though for some reason I also thought he didn't live in the US or UK.

I didn't creat this post to abuse anyone or to become insulting,
@Ratimov is a good man, I only had a kinda objection.
Since very many people have claimed to know him personally and have had dealings with him several times, maybe they're not!
As I said earlier, I was only thinking aloud.
So please,if you're giving your suggestions, it shouldn't be catastrophic!
 I don't know how to be rude so better keep calm, and that's the main reason I love @daveF

Its literally not possible to prove anything by assumptions, if you have anything to connect them then bring the evidence instead of words. If you assume both are same person only because they are tagging low ranked members that's really a stupid assumption and no one is going to to back you for doing this.

I’ve engaged both publicly & privately with both Ratimov & Lauda so no, I don’t think they are controlled by the same entity. Lauda was OK at certain times but far more blunt & less emotive, kind etc.

Basically Ratimov is a much nicer person.

Tell me what's the point you creating this thread? let's assuming Ratimov is Lauda, then what does we or forum need to do? Nothing! Nor one of them is cheating or abusing trust system.

If you worried you'll get red tagged due to his investigations, it won't change anything as your account has been red tagged due to joining scam campaign. The first thing you need to clean your account is stop joining scam campaign and learn how to be better.

Hey mate, I apparently stopped coming around to the local board because I had a little time for myself so I had to make out time to be posting and studying at the same time.
 I don't know why you're still low in perception, I haven't been hunting for merits, they only come when I make quality post or replies.
 About the plagiarism,
 I didn't raise this topic to talk bout plagiarism or what so ever, I did plagiarised unknowingly then I was reported and the mods spared me. I'm promoting a site that I got full details about their scammy activities after I already joined them doesn't mean I'm a scammer; these mentality should be erased.!
Well, I don't know about anyone else but for my self, I didn't join this site on purpose because that's not what I created an account for in the first place but before I could revoke my application, I was already tagged by csmiami
Sometimes, most people seems to make things worst for others,and now @lovesmayfamilis comes to taunt me because I joined a scammy sight? You don't have a clue of how I had cherished my account and wouldn't want to get it negatively tagged but this time, I couldn't help !!
 I know most people will say that the rules have been boldly written on the site but I'll tell you that I receive a red tag before I knew what it was 🙂 and I thought it could be erased( I'm just being very Frank here).
I believe one day; all these reputable members that are against me for a simple mistake will stand for me and my account will be free from red-tags

Real life can always be a reason, and people might not want to talk about it.
Either way Ratimov's & Lauda's posting IMO are totally different in terms of how they are written and IMO there is nothing tying the accounts together.
Not sure why the OP thinks so other then their similar, but not even close to the same attitude, or what the OP is trying to accomplish by saying that they are the same person.

-Dave

People who are constantly aware of DT members or who complain about DT members are always the ones that do wrong or break rules.

I had a conversation with him and advised him to give it his all for the forum as well as the local board. I'm not surprised he turned into the jerk he is now on the forum, and the fact that he also wears 1xbit made him seem less relevant. His only mission on our Iocal, I believe, was to gather merits, but we were quick to discover and he has since left. Regrettably, his second chance was squandered.

I think Lauda is hanging around, but I don't think she is Ratimov. Really hard to believe she left the forum for good without any real good reason IMO.

You are wrong, @Ratimov and @Lauda are close friends, different countries, they are different people, but friends, just like me here, for example: @lovesmayfamilis, @COOLCRYPTOVATOR, @The Pharmacist, @PrimeNumber7, @Poker Player and @Timelord2067 we're friends, just different countries, so Lauda and Ratimov are like that too.

Look the photo below is a different person, isn't it.


Note: There is no guesswork about lauda on this forum anymore, lauda is old and he is currently enjoying the rest of his life, in real life.

IIRC, Ratimov and Lauda speak different non English languages, so perhaps if you could show they do speak the same language(s), or, claim to come from the same region (or Bitcoin TX's etc) then there *may* be some truth.  But, for now, there is no link that I can see.

Lol.

A crappy thread on Meta, based on total speculation, written by someone who was caught plagiarizing, was given a second chance and uses it to advertise a known scam site.

OP, the connection you make between Lauda and Ratimov is so poor that I'm not going to analyze it. If you really believe that they are the same person, I hope that you will provide some weighty arguments and not the speculative garbage that you say.

The only thing I hope is that, as lovesmayfamilis says, you don't last long on this forum.

OP, whenever you see rudeness, as well as tags about fraud, know this all Lauda. And not only on the forum. Lauda is everywhere. So go and look around. Lauda had an irreconcilable feeling for scammers and cheaters, and you seem to suffer a lot that you did not have to wear a tag from Lauda.
In fact, I am very sorry that the moderators gave you a second chance on the forum after your plagiarism.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.58042068

Since it is you who produce on the forum either rudeness or unproven accusations.
But for some reason, I am sure that your ban is a matter of time.
And yes, you can't stand next to either Lauda or Ratimov, so write your posts to support the scammer and rejoice at your few cents.

I can't see Ratimov's tag in your profile by the way. So those who have tagged you are alt of Lauda? Your logic isn't enough to prove Lauda & Ratimov are connected. Lauda doesn't need to be active in the forum with an alt account. Her original account was stronger than Ratimov's account. It doesn't matter really whether you are low rank or high rank, if you are involved with shady activities then DT members would tag you accordingly. Doesn't need to be an alt of DT.

No.  Ratimov might be a bit prickly under certain circumstances, Lauda created a much bigger presence (for better or worse) and seemed incapable of not doing so.  If Lauda and Ratimov were alts, I'd expect a lot more drama coming from Ratimov's account and for all the time he's been here I haven't seen it.

In addition to that, their posting styles are much different from what I can tell, with Lauda's English being much better than Ratimov's.  So no, I think Lauda is gone from the forum and isn't using any alts to "cheat".  There's nothing preventing him/her from coming back, so I don't see why there'd be any need to use an alt in the first place.

I don't know Ratimov, and Lauda was more or less an anonymous person, so it is nearly impossible to disprove your theory, however, I think it is unlikely they are the same.

It appears that Ratimov is active in the Russian local sub. This leads me to believe he likely speaks Russian fluently, and more often than not, means he is Russian. Lauda was active in the Croatian forum.

A lot of people feel negatively about low-ranking accounts.

I have heard and read sequentially on diverse threads,websites and most especially the final post about Lauda', how he was kinda rude but it's was all in a bid to ensure spammers don't have that free hands to troll the forum with garbage informations.
 Lauda' from my observation was a moderator and since I haven't met him/her in person and I haven't conversed with him directly so I don't really know the kinda person he was apart from scraps from his past histories.
 I can vividly remember he said he wasn't returning back again to the forum,not even for any purpose.!
Don't you think @Ratimov is lauda back on the forum again?
Since they both posses the same attitude towards tagging low-ranking accounts (he hasn't tagged mine though).
He was registered in the forum before lauda left but it might have been an already designed plan because I don't know why such a reputable member of high value and hierarchy decided to leave the forum?!
  Let's forget about the fact that everyone is working towards making extra scrutinization on every forum member to spot out scammers but Ratimov is taking it upon himself to do soand this was what lauda did as a point of duty all by himself only that maybe New lauda(Ratimov) has decided to curtail most of his taunting and and still forgot to control his misinterpretation..hmm
 Most times he's helpful but behaves like a robot (he might still turn against you, denying he hasn't met you before)
  I'm not actually saying @Ratimov is a bad dude but he's a thorn to the flesh atimes on issues that are barely illusions; his assumptions and investigation are poor and he sometimes even vindicate the culprit, phew!
Well also,I'm not entirely sure but was just tryna thing aloud.!!
