Here's where we should start: http://www.police.govt.nz/service/financial

Now we need to collect evidence and just pass it to them.

Can we get all the posts and Ip addresses??

Indeed. We're also working on this, feel free to drop an email / join #bitcoin-assets on Freenode.

Did MP ever receive a response to the email he sent to SRG informing them about Patrick's activities?

Also, I've mentioned this before but Patrick belongs to two professional bodies (he's a Chartered Secretary and a member of the Institute of Directors) which almost certainly have ethical standards for their members so that might be another road to go down.  Sometimes the threat of loss professional status can be more effective, faster and less costly than the threat of legal action for getting people to the negotiating table.

perfect, I work in the financial sector and have many contacts.

We should get as much info on this guy as we can and pass it onto to the corresponding authorities, they're pretty tough on this in New Zealand.

If he doesn't pay back what he stole I think he should face his local fraud authorities.

Has Asic and other corresponding authorities been alerted? Maybe if the community were to get together and get as much evidence in order to give to his local frauds and consumer protection task forces.

Was he from New Zealand or Australia???

thanks

He's in New Zealand.  ASIC is the Australian Securities and Investments Commission.

Has anybody tried to contact him?

 I hope he enjoys the godlike ass reaming hes about to receive from ASIC.

If I were him, I'd rather face ASIC than SEC, which is ALSO going to give him an asslike god reaming, I'm sure. Oh. The joy of living in some OTHER part of the British EmpireEarth than the US. You get to deal with local laws, UN laws, AND US laws.

And...really...used Kraken to cover his own losses?

That deserves a straight "Fucking Thief" tag if true. Scammer would be an understatement.

What's the total amount that he owes?  Any estimates?

Estimate is 20k. Roughly.

Basically, came down to his promise that deposit could be withdrawn anytime for Starfish or that any losses for Kraken would be covered personally.

It was pretty much a promise to take responsibility for any occurring loss.
Also, there was strong evidence that, at least with respect to Kraken, at the time he made that promise he knew he wasn't going to keep it. The evidence suggested that Kraken was a way to bail out his personal Pirate losses and screw over his investors.

I'd like to know what was the evidence or the specific issue that resulted in the SCAMMER tag.  There was way too much debating and defining terms and splitting hairs for me to keep track.

Hopefully this could be applied in other lending/investment cases (ie Usnagi) - if there are any similarities - that will certainly keep popping up.

Thanks.
