theymos... but what would you take as an evidence? I mean what do you think the police wold take as evidence when the police would care about bitcoins. They would use the exact same info. So i dont fully get why you did this.

Would you give out the details when #bitcoin-police checked the traces in database and ask you for evidence? Otherwise bitcoinuser would be in disadvantage to real world user again. Because btc isnt real money for the real police yet.

My current policy is to release IPs only in these cases:
- Police send me convincing evidence that someone is guilty. I then release IPs to the police only. (This has happened.)
- A court with jurisdiction over the forum sends me a subpoena that isn't obviously unjust. (This has not happened.)
- A scammer is absolutely proven to be guilty and stops reasonably negotiating with his victims.
- Someone is repeatedly evading bans.

The accused person in the GLBSE case wasn't absolutely proven to be guilty, and wasn't even given a chance to respond to the allegations. Nefario never went to the police as far as I know.

I'm not sure whether I should release IPs at all, really. I'd like to see a discussion about the morality of this. Releasing IPs enables people to act violently toward the accused person, either in person or through police. Is it really right to commit violence against someone just because he did something non-violently over the Internet? I'm not sure. Services should ideally be set up so that scamming is impossible and as a result no one is ever tempted toward violence.

Nice to hear over your ip release policy, now can you come back to Earth?
People are scamming here right and left. Life is bad and the inflation isn't helping, they scam harder.

Edit: Youre the accountant nef speaks of right. Or CHM? So what is the thing regarding his ceo-money? I mean last month glbse was still live which means he did his work isnt it?

GLBSE could also be defined as your site.

Not really. I own only 3.3% of BitcoinGlobal and I never dealt with the GLBSE code/server/etc.

The chances that the hacker had modified the logs to accuse someone else visiting the forum instead of deleteing the log are extremely slim and anyway what is the worst case scenario to someone on the forum being falsely accused  ?

I'll keep that in mind if someone asks me for your IP addresses based on inconclusive evidence...

I saw many times, you saying about funds you hold.
You never so far told exactly how much you hold or how much you sent.
Always ~~~ approximate only, never exact.
It was you, who exposed in this forum, about the GLBSE bitcoin you hold.

As far as I can tell, I held 956.49814586 user BTC. This is the amount I sent to the accountant. I now hold 455.99669284 BTC in operating funds for BitcoinGlobal.

JoelKatz... in case of the house of course it can be valued another way. But, like you stated, that is the owners decision. Its worth less for him. That doesnt say a word about how is it worth to others.

Of course you as the owner can decide that its safer to have the money instead the house. But i think most persons buy a house to live in it or save the money for renting a flat.

And these persons wont sell the house for less. So in the same time, when you have a share of glbse whose issuer is still paying dividends its not needed to sell it fast. If you sell it fast for less then its your decision. But the value isnt automatically less only because the exchange closed.

For example i have 1255 (i believe) shares of asicminer. I bought them with luck for 0.1 BTC. I never would sell them for under 0.1BTC. And i only would sell them for more when im sure i could buy them from another one for less back.

So what i want to say is that when you say its safer for you to drop your shares and you get less because of that then this is because you want it so. Not because the value dropped automatically.

You have no good way to establish how much value it adds to the house. It takes a healthy, functioning market to reliably establish value in a way you can expect others to be willing to rely on. There is no substitute.

You imply that you always need an exchange for selling a house. Otherwise you cant get an exact number of what the house is valued. In fact you only need 2 persons. You and a buyer. To be sure you should ask more than that, maybe 10 or 100 persons. Then you have an average of what others would pay for it. But that doesnt mean that you cant sell it without asking 100 persons. You simply ask for the price you think the house is worth. Maybe a bit more if you have time and can wait. And judging from the reaction of possible buyers you know how far away youre from their price. Nothing others happens on flea market.

The one exploit that accepted negative share values to be traded was interesting.

Nope, still nothing.

Fascinating to see you how duplicitous and dishonest the entire cabal behind GLBSE really is... what a den of thieves!

Got email:

Your GLBSE account has been partially processed. 90% of your funds have been returned to you with this payment. Once we recieve the remaining funds from our treasurer and secretary the final payment will be made and you will be informed. We will also inform you when we process your assets, allowing you to continue your relationship with your issuer.

That was one hour and 20 minutes ago.
But I haven't seen the (very little) sum showing up in the wallet address I provided.
Not that it matters much to me, if not for the principle.
But I had a fair amount of now-worthless shares.

Btw.
some stocks started to plummet about 1-2 weeks before GLBSE closure.
"as if" some of the asset holders were in a big hurry to sell?
"as if" some of the asset holders had seen this coming?
It's mere speculation, I know. Couldn't help keeping my mouth shut 'tho.

Quote from interview:
Quote
Vitalik: OK, you have a form up now, asking for email and BTC address. So, if you’re fine with giving your contact details to the issuers, the issuers can contact you by email from there. What happens if you don’t want that?

James: Then you’re choosing not to continue your relationship with your issuer. I’m sure your shares will still exist, but your issuer won’t know who you are, so you won’t be able to collect them.

... and on top of going away with it, he is also taking the piss of us all.

EDIT: I got my tiny bitcoin deposit back.

while the dude gives interviews i have not revieved a single satoshi. Anyone else still waiting?

I haven't received anything yet either. GLBSE owes me about 10 BTC if I remember correctly, plus I'd like to start receiving dividends from the shares in companies I own. What a mess...

I didn't release the IPs because I can't trust evidence like, "This person stole from my site. Look at these records that my (hacked) site collected. Give me their IPs." If I accepted that kind of evidence, anyone could fabricate "records" and get forum user IPs from me.

Look at what hapenned to Zhou Thong, with ~5 information linking him to the 5000btc hack.  ,,, Got away with it ! (didn't return a good part of it)

I am no longer holding any user funds. The GLBSE accountant now has what I was previously holding (~900 BTC).

theymos... you didnt reveal the data about a thieve that stole nearly 25,000BTC? Why is that?

2500 BTC. The shareholders wanted this info to be private. The money was eventually recovered.

I feel sorry for him, he's confused and missing allot of information.

After the pirate joke I was about to close the page, then I continued to leave it for good at "They were now unsure as to what they would consider bitcoin..."

He has allot to learn about life and other fellow humans, but I would leave him with his new agenda for now.

I thought the pirate joke was pretty funny.  His descriptions of things aligned generally with how I had guessed that things likely went down in many ways.

pity he does not offer all users "claim codes" so that they can present them with asset holders without the need to pass on the email to them.
some asset issuers might not be comfortable with holding lists of email addresses. list of codes with asset counts would be enough.

The user had gotten away with about 2500BTC. This was a big hit to GLBSE’s profits, but we had enough to handle this. After investigation I’d learned the user had a bitcointalk account, naturally with Theymos being the admin (and a BitcoinGlobal shareholder, as well as treasurer) I went to Theymos, provided him with the proof both in the block chain and from our records, to get the guy’s personal details. He flat out refused, under no circumstances would he release that information.

Quote
I’m not sure exactly how much Theymos holds, but it’s not what he publicly stated In July/September I had sent Theymos 3K BTC to be able to top up the hot wallet when I was on the road (I was going to be traveling for a few days). Last I remember he had about 1500BTC. Those were users’ deposits.

Regarding nefarios plans... he destroyed this future plans successfully the way he handled the shutdown. I mean he seriously lost trust now. And then he speaks about crowdfunding in million $ height? Thats not even near the reality.
I think that proves that he didnt think this through.

I have only got 0.067104 not 0.1 BTC.. I would be happy if he rounded it up and I got a bit more.

Sounds like you two should swap

Seems like he is rounding?
I had a very tiny amount 0.06 or so and received 0.1 (but could be that there was a divident payment inbetween I have no idea)
