Notice how, in the original post, pirate said "Contact me for details if you're interested". So unless anyone contacted him for details, they're not going to meet him, and pirate can claim to have fulfilled his part of this trollpromise.

Nor did pirate say that he was attending DefCon, he just said he was going to Vegas. For all we know, he may be putting all the BS&T funds on red at the roulette table in a desperate attempt to keep his scheme afloat.

In that case, pirate may be lucky and can prolong his scheme long enough to win his bet with vandroiy.

Or, if pirate loses at the roulette table, he may default on the coming interest payment. The terms of his bet with vandroiy allow for a two-week delay after a missed payment. So by 14 August, the gig is up. Just like pirate already hinted.

(I'm not invested with pirate; I'm just here to enjoy the show)

Seriously, stop trying to see things that aren't there. You're just making everyone who's concerned about Pirate look foolish.
Yup.

He is level headed. You should stop and think about how all of this appears to people on the outside that aren't blinded by Pirate Greed.

Looks mostly the same as it did when I first invested many months ago.  Now the interest rates are lower, payouts are less often, and it's still a great return.  Nobody expects this to last forever and pirateat40 has demonstrated several times he will adjust his interest rate down as his profit margins are squeezed by competition.  I have had several private conversations with pirate and I am fairly confident of at least two legitimate revenue streams he has, and I suspect two others.  None are illegal as far as I know, and despite weeks of screaming, nobody has been able to provide one scrap of evidence to the contrary.  I will not provide more information about what I believe he is doing other than the obvious (gpumax) because competition will reduce his profits and thus my payouts.

Hey everyone knows I trust the business enough to have invested. However, please stop saying Pirate is reducing interest rates when he clearly isn't (he still offers the same percentages to trust accounts, which means in the end the majority of the market will invest through these, causing Pirate to pay the same rates as he did before) it makes you look like you're covering something up ....

This is getting boring with people posting cryptic messages and continuing with "funny" (maybe it is funny to some people?) posts but not even a single picture or a PGP signed message "I met with pirateat40 face to face in Vegas" yet.

Playing it cool might be nice for some high schoolers, but this is something that not a lot of people can afford (going to Vegas on a certain date and time) and the ones there don't seem to be helpful at all. On one hand very often I read that it's oh-so-important to be serious and take care how your online persona is received, on the other hand I only need to take a look at this thread to see less than a handful of people whom I would trust to give my money. After 9(!) pages!

Seriously, if this is the fabulous "Bitcoin community", I'm happy that I managed so far to convince a lot of people to stay away and wait it out until some real stuff emerges from there.

About pirate's business: At least a very large piece of it should be documented forever in the block chain anyways, so just start writing analysis programs and scrapers instead of again warning everyone that 7% a week is just not sustainable.

Since when? Don't you remember him ranting off and posting he was never going to post here again. I refuse to unignore him to see what he said but it must have been good. LOL

Since long ago, before the pirate FUD storm started.

Just because I'm affiliated with a PPT doesn't mean I know for certain Pirate is or isn't legit.  All it means is I got in before everyone else and have had access to rates that people that got in later didn't have access to.  Your logic skills sux0rz.

LOL did imsaguy just admit he was being paid extra, and had no knowledge of BS&T legitimacy? Do any of you remember just who was extremely intent on defending BS&T in the flamewar?

This thread is becoming priceless.

It's like saying "I am getting money from that unknown guy and I help to promote his ponzi, but I am not guilty on charges of fraud because I do not even know him and not affiliated with him". Nice try.

Get damn legal advise already and I promise you the first thing that will be advised to you is to shut up.

No turd, its because I had enough to qualify for the 7% and many other people don't have any many btc.

Goes to show how badly statements can be misinterpreted once you've made up your mind like Vandroiy has.

Yep, rehearse your little speech for the cops. Guilty or not, I do not know. But in the list of defendants on this, yes, most certainly.
I like how you skipped over the first bit about STFU and verifying what he looks like yourself.  Instead its easier for you to keep talking.

Skipped because it is utter nonsence.

OR how about you get off your lazy ass and do it your damn self!

My lazy ass will stay where it is. I am not the one dropping vague hints here, shill, that I supposedly saw some pirate.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shill
"
A shill, plant, or stooge is a person who publicly helps a person or organization without disclosing that he has a close relationship with that person or organization. Shill typically refers to someone who purposely gives onlookers the impression that he is an enthusiastic independent customer of a seller (or marketer of ideas) for whom he is secretly working.
"

Disclose your affiliation and income derived from this before saying anything on topic or stay ^^^^

Your asses will so flap in the wind eventually, once ponzi implodes. If not on fraud charges then on various securities laws.

Do not play "idiots" with us. Say that you have met that guy with moniker pirateat40 and are satisfied that he was present here and that that you are satisfied that he is indeed the same person who runs this ponzi and that as supposedly "respected community member with a good reputation" vouch for him etc... Or say that you have not.

Lets make a list with who is on the payroll of pirate or has any personal interest in any of his operations:
- Chaang Noi (Goat) ช้างน้อย (runs PiratePassThrough Bond or is affiliated with one)
- BurtW (runs PiratePassThrough Bond or is affiliated with one)
- PatrickHarnett (runs PiratePassThrough Bond or is affiliated with one)
- dollartrader (runs PiratePassThrough Bond or is affiliated with one)
- hashking (runs PiratePassThrough Bond or is affiliated with one)
- imsaguy (runs PiratePassThrough Bond or is affiliated with one)
- ineededausername (runs PiratePassThrough Bond or is affiliated with one)
- bitfoo (runs PiratePassThrough Bond or is affiliated with one)
- pay.btc (runs PiratePassThrough Bond or is affiliated with one)
- gigavps (runs PiratePassThrough Bond or is affiliated with one)
- ...
who else??

Good start. It seems like automatic scammer tag list the moment the ponzi implodes as well as list of scammers for all the criminal reports that will be lodged eventually when this indeed blows over as many think it will.

Now a little exercise for all the readers. See the posting history of individuals mentioned above. See their mission  here for yourself.
