Theymos can you ban this guy for nick squatting.

Judging by his posts I think he's just a wannabe troll kid.
His disguise made me laugh in a sad way. Don't think he should be banned? My $ .02.

pirateat40 had a zero, not a capital "O" at the end.  Troll harder. Cheesy

edit:  I'm surprised the forum software doesn't treat lookalike characters as identical for usernames, would cut down on frogging.

We are going after him, he will go to jail.  I have no idea what his brother was involve with but he and his family are not who we are after.  Everyone is pissed at him but we do not condone violence or veiled threats in this effort.  Please delete your post.

Thank you.  

Agreed. I don't really even care about restitution at this point. It would be nice but the main thing is to get Trendon in jail for the longest possible amount of time.

If this doesn't happen, he *will* move on to hurt more people. He's already blowing the money from what I hear and so IMO will broke again in a few years.

Since there is no transparency, we can assume his inner circle received their loans back, leaving everyone else empty handed.
His inner circle? Who would that be?
Like in every ponzi those who invested early had the chance to make a profit, but probably didn't since pretty much everyone "reinvested", as far as I can see.
Re: pirate payments list -- accounts paid: 23/459

I have no idea who they are.
Since there were no confirmations of those payouts I'd say it's entirely likely that there actually were no payouts whatsoever. And in case they were, as far as I can see those were (supposedly) all very small accounts, most likely paid out as a stalling tactic. I wouldn't call those people "his inner circle".
Sure, you may be right.  But if you think that he lied about paying anybody, why do you believe that the paid out accounts were very small accounts?
Because it makes the most sense at this point. Grab the money, pay a few small accounts to keep people off your back for a while longer, disappear.

A member came on here and claimed he got paid out his small account.

Sorry girls, I had no intention to frighten any you and make you wet your undies.
Best way to find a scumbag, who still has connections to his/her family, is to find ("go after") the family member and go on from there - unless they are all crooks.
You can hope that there is at least one person with properly functioning brain and you can get some hints to find the loser you are after.
Happy hunting and keep us posted.
