To summarize:
Brock Pierce and a group of pedophiles were busted in 2012 and cut a deal with FBI to be informants; on whatever projects the FBI required them for.
They have now been called into action by the FBI as the face of the Mt Gox takeover. Which is actually the FBI attempting to gain access to past and future Gox records under the guise of a private section acquisition.

Was there another bust?
The lawsuits against Brock Pierce were regarding parties over 12 years ago (close to 14 years)
He left the country with both partners. I'm not sure what year the older guy was arrested in Europe, but 2012 sounds too recent.
....Or did I miss something?
The implication is that an undisclosed bust occurred, not the much earlier one on record.

holly shit someone put a lot of work into this
In case anyone doesn't know, the North American class-action Gox lawsuit was "settled"/dropped (with nothing yet available for the victims), so a "company" involving Brock Rector/Pierce could try to buy and run the newer Gox.

I may have just figured it out, having once been arrested myself after being serviced by a hooker and her emptying the crack from her pocket onto the seat of my truck, thus knowing first-hand how one could get their charges reduced (think wire), is it possible/probable that Brock Pierce cut a deal, thus allowing his status (sans the paedo- part, of course) to aid law enforcement entities worldwide to amass names/faces of bitcoiners? Could this be the reason that Autumn Radtke was snuffed?

Looks like September 11, 2012 was a practice like-my-Facebook-pic-while-we're-all-here-in-bed-together for their larger meat-up on March 27, 2013 shown above.
Finally, Brock's forth pic:
My bad! November 19, 2012 instead of March 27, 2013, of which was probably a reunion meat-up with with underage Spanish boys, may be priest rejects, to boot. Note, Jhon Junior comments after learning there was a meat-up sans his invite.

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/bryan-singer-sex-abuse-case-699828
According to my research, they all can be found in one giant bed. If they hurry (actually, probably no need to hurry, for I'm sure they're happy where they're at), they could meat-up with them, for I'm sure fresh young meat is always welcome as it continues to be on the menu.
Do you recall my theory at the beginning of this post? If not, I suggest you revisit it.

Collins-Rector, Shackley and Pierce launched another company called World Wide Technology & Internet Ventures Ltd., incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. Still living at the Encino mansion, they were joined by new housemate and partner Alex Burton, an 18-year-old actor who was a friend of Pierce.
But more and more boys came forward, alleging abuse.
But more and more boys came forward, alleging abuse.
Quote
After a New Jersey grand jury indicted Collins-Rector in 2000, he fled the country, along with Shackley and Pierce. The trio surfaced in May 2002 in a villa in the south Spanish beach city of Marbella. Police found guns, machetes and child pornography in the house.
Quote
Collins-Rector relocated to London, where in October 2007 the British paper The Sun ran a photograph of him in a tan blazer, leaning on a cane, accompanied by a young man. "A millionaire pedophile from America is swanning around Britain in a chauffeur-driven limo and surrounding himself with young boys," the article reported.
Quote
His last known whereabouts are from 2008, when Florida authorities had him residing in the Dominican Republic. THR's efforts to locate him were unsuccessful, as were efforts to reach Pierce and Shackley.
According to my research, they all can be found in one giant bed. If they hurry (actually, probably no need to hurry, for I'm sure they're happy where they're at), they could meat-up with them, for I'm sure fresh young meat is always welcome as it continues to be on the menu.
Quote
Pierce's most recent bio says he is co-founder of GoCoin, ExpressCoin, KnCMiner.cn and Robocoin Asia. He is described as "a sought-after commentator on the Bitcoin economy" and "a prolific angel investor" who has raised more than $200 million on behalf of his companies and led more than 30 acquisitions during his career.
Quote
What seems remarkable, in retrospect, is that all of the charges against Pierce's former partner, Collins-Rector, were filed by federal authorities; despite many allegations regarding activities at the Encino house, officials in L.A. never pursued criminal charges against Collins-Rector or his associates. Egan's mother, Bonnie Mound, alleged during an April 21 news conference that her attempts to report her son's abuse to the FBI had fallen on deaf ears. In fact, a 2003 affidavit filed by Special Agent Joseph Brine and obtained by TMZ stated that Egan had brought allegations against Collins-Rector to Brine's attention.
During the April 21 news conference, Egan's sobbing mother called out several FBI officials by name: "I'd like to say to Special Agent Joseph Brine: You came to our house once. You interviewed Mike once. You called me a couple times after. I continued to call you. I continued to write certified, return-receipt letters to you. Everything went silent. What did you do then, Mr. Brine? I'd also like to say to Mr. J. Stephen Tidwell, FBI Los Angeles: Why'd you ignore my certified, return-receipt letters? Mr. David Johnson, FBI, J. Edgar Hoover Building, Washington, D.C.: Why did you ignore my certified, return-receipt letters? And Mr. Robert Mueller III, Director of FBI, J. Edgar Hoover Building, Washington, D.C.: Why did you ignore my certified, return-receipt letters?"

There is a convergence between WeHo pedos; some might recall the 1998 web series Chad's World which was essentially a bunch of 30-something pedos creating a project to lure boys to Hollywood with promises of becoming stars in exchange for "work" they would do while living with various members of this group of 30-something pedos. Singer is said to be connected to this project which was done under a company called DEN, the Digital Entertainment Network run by Marc Collins-Rector (who has since been convicted of child sex crimes) and Brock Pierce (former child actor known for starring in First Kid and the Mighty Ducks) who has not been convicted of child sex crimes but he probably should be. The website BoingBoing called Chad's World "a pedophile fantasy based on the founders' own lives."

Quote
Marc John Collins-Rector (born October 16, 1959) is an American businessman best known for founding Digital Entertainment Network, an online streaming video broadcaster and notable dot-com failure.
He changed his name from Mark Rector to Marc Collins-Rector in 1998.[2]
In the early 1980s Rector founded Telequest, a Florida-based telecommunications company. In 1984, Rector founded World TravelNet, a company that electronically coordinated cruises and tours; its affiliate, World ComNet, was floated on the Vancouver Stock Exchange in 1987. Its valuation briefly peaked at $100 million before increasing competition led to bankruptcy.[2] Rector later founded an early ISP, Concentric Network,[3] in 1991[4] along with colleague and lover Chad Shackley.[5]
DEN
Main article: Digital Entertainment Network
Rector and Shackley sold Concentric in 1995 and, using money raised here and close to $100m of investor and venture capital, formed an early Internet video pioneer, Digital Entertainment Network. Collins-Rector was the co-founder and Chairman of DEN, which exhausted its funding following a failed IPO bid and collapsed amid allegations that Collins-Rector had sexually abused children, coercing them with drugs and guns.[6]
Later career
Media reports claim that Collins-Rector was a silent partner in the MMORPG service company IGE, which was founded by ex-DEN VP Brock Pierce.[6] IGE initially used an address in the city of Marbella, Spain, where Collins-Rector, Shackley, and Pierce shared a villa until it was raided by Interpol in 2002.[7][8]
Child enticement conviction
Collins-Rector fled to Europe, ending up in Spain. He fought extradition proceedings for two years before returning to the United States, where he pleaded guilty to eight charges of child enticement and registered as a sex offender.[9] Collins-Rector admitted luring five minors across state lines for sexual purposes.[10] He received credit for time that he had served in a Spanish jail.[10][11] Some of his underage victims sued in civil court, winning a $4.5 million under a summary judgement.[12]

The young woman in question was actually the head of the Singapore-based startup First Meta. According to its website, First Meta was founded in 2007, and its claim to fame was creating the first virtual credit card for the then-popular online game Second Life. Today it functions as one of many online marketplaces for bitcoin and a slew of other virtual currencies.

Around Hollywood, rumors flew that Collins-Rector, Shackley, and Pierce were about to be arrested on embezzlement and sexual offenses. Before any charges were filed, though, the three men disappeared.

Many workers at the company said they had suspicions about then-Chairman Collins-Rector and discussed them internally before the New Jersey lawsuit. "There was something not right," a former executive said Friday. "There were too many little boys. People were willing to look the other way."
Matt Welch, a Los Angeles writer who briefly consulted for the company, said its collapse "would have been one of the textbook classic dot-com flameouts even without this. It was a bad idea, at a bad time, done by bad people.... I wouldn't say there was an atmosphere of criminal behavior, you just felt the decadence."
Collins-Rector, who is in his early 40s, shared a palatial Encino estate with longtime partner Chad Shackley, 24, and with Brock Pierce, a child Disney movie star who moved in when he was 17 and was paid a $250,000 salary by the company. Shackley and Pierce were executive vice presidents of the company.
The three were described as co-founders of the company, which filmed short episodes on a number of teenage themes for playback over the Internet and at one time boasted more than 300 employees.
The company secured big advertisers but failed to generate a significant audience or keep its expenses in check. The company's audience remained limited, in part because of the lack of high-speed Internet connections needed to stream entertainment videos.
Although the company was at the forefront of developing entertainment for the Internet, its competitors were soon drawing greater traffic while paying little or nothing for video content.
It spent freely on its productions and facilities and paid salaries that exceeded $1 million, unusually high figures for a start-up. In June 1999, the company was burning up $3 million a month when it had no revenue.
Among those who have filed lawsuits are four former employees, including one hired and allegedly abused before the age of 16 and another hired at 15 and abused at 16.
A suit by one of the teenagers was settled, but its terms were not disclosed. A suit filed by three of the teenagers resulted in a default judgment of $4.5 million.
The suits accused Collins-Rector, Shackley and Pierce of rape, assault and death threats. Shackley and Pierce have not been charged criminally.
