Topic: Statement about the suspect of recent Bitcoinica hack - page 10. (Read 136187 times)

I'll accept that.

Countries with jurisdiction over this matter includes New Zealand, USA, and any country whose citizens or resident is missing funds that were deposited on Bitcoinica.

A PI can't "bring him to justice".  At best, they can uncover information which may assist police with an investigation, which may help lawyers prepare a civil action, or which may be useful for liquidators or others investigating the Bitcoinica collapse (and possible information which would be relevant to the AurumXchange AML investigation).

It is ridiculous to assert that Zhou will "spend years in prison".  Even if sufficient evidence was found to warrant criminal charges being pursued, it's utterly unclear right now which country would have jurisdiction and what specific charges would be applicable - and those things greatly influence the type of sentence which would be imposed if prosecution resulted in conviction.

I sure hope so, dealing with tantrums like that can take it out of me.  Still looking forward to having kids someday though.

OK. We got it. Can we get back on topic now?

And what contribution exactly did he make to the MAGAZINE? He donated money in 2011 to BitTalk TV which was used in part for the Christmas special. The magazine had yet to have been announced at this point and the money was long gone before any work was started on it. ZERO funds from Zhou have gone into the magazine and he has ZERO stake in the company. That is a fact.

Both of you, stop your private war here. It gets annoying. People who repeatedly write on public message boards are usually not the ones you have to be afraid about. If I was one of the Intersango people, or Zhou Tong, I'd be very worried about the angry people out there who are still trying to get back what belongs to them. Mobs are prejudiced and tend to do stupid things. Whoever is in control should have done anything in their might to prevent that from happening. Someone warned here about the first Bitcoin related violence/worse and I hope it never happens, but seriously, Bitcoin is money and money is Bitcoin. It wouldn't be different from any other crime related to money. Bitcoin has never been innocent by the way, or did you guys forget about silk road already?

I am owed 44.21 BTC from Amir, Donald, Patrick, Tihan, and Zhou. I don't think I will ever get it back, even or precisely because legal proceedings are going forward. Please make a donation here and I will post your name on the board. Thank you! My former bitcoinica deposit address for donations: 1ET2ps7BRrZnDeq7bVNc8bS9ZmgN8DxUXy

I will boycott the London Bitcoin conference. Too many dicks on the dancefloor.

You can say "It's been quoted" again a few times, that doesnt make it true somehow.
I read the whole frickin' story and never saw mlawrence threatening to injure/kill anyone anywhere.

You might have interpreted it that way, but thats not the fault of the poster.

Sorry to say, but it was the mods who acted on BS-reasons here, which makes the whole forum start smelling fishy.


And to make that clear:
I don't give a shit if Zhou was the hacker, or a mysterious relic collector, or Obama himself,
i just blame the Bitcoin(ica) Consultancy/Intersango guys instead,
they were in charge, they told us "he didn't steal your money, but ours, we'll pay you back", yet they didn't,
they don't react at all anymore to anyone, they just ran away with our money.

They treated their customers like shit and probably still do.

I hate to break it to you but I work for Bitcoin Magazine. The magazine is in no way supported, bought or even affiliated with Zhou Tong. I'm sure if you will follow my posts you can see that I have been in favor of getting to the bottom of this without prejudice. I find the notion that you or someone else would consider us as bought by Zhou, insulting on many levels. You are insinuating that we do not have journalistic integrity, which if you read the article on our website about this incident you will see just how wrong you are.

Matthew is Matthew and his statements are in no way to be considered as representing the magazine unless he explicitly says so.

I'm not sure why how "the forum" regards information is relevant if the purpose of retaining a private investigator is to obtain location information so that those who wish to file criminal or civil complaints are able to set those complaints in motion.  The validity of those complaints isn't going to be investigated by "the forum" (which is divided on the issues anyway), so whether the forum dismisses the information is largely irrelevant anyway.

It is so ironic that nameterrific ads are appearing on this thread.

 

I am trying to imagine how Obama would "free" Tibet without drone striking the entire region.

ZT, don't tell me you are an Obama fan, seriously? 

Once we get an consensus that Kevin Lim = Zhou Tong, we can move on to who's in cahoots with him.

Great image, Kevin!



According to this http://soundcloud.com/brainopera/following, you're in NY. Have you tried out Meze Grill? And, would you be so kind as to go over the OnlyOne studios and give an interview on how you're going to return all the stolen Bitcoinica funds? While there, don't forget to exchange BlowBobs.

Quick aside, yet related: You got a really... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yj4LnfkdJDM&feature=player_detailpage#t=238s

I and the user dishwara already figured this out at page 22 and 23, post #427 and #452.

You, the "we", are more than late.

I think that at this point we can safely move away from the idea that Zhou Tong is some 17-year-old kid. I believe that the only reason funds are trickling back is because Kevin Lim has a lot at stake, and it's his reputation that is at risk, not a made-up avatar named Zhou Tong.

Now, who is going to be the first to disprove that Zhou Tong = Kevin Lim?

How much is sugardaddy paying you for posting all this bs?

If the fiat should have been returned first, why did you send 15k BTC? As you say, you did it to show "good faith" and "co-operation". However it just seems like you are buying time and delaying yet again. If you were able to recover 20k BTC, what possible reason have you (or "Chen") for keeping 5k of it for any length of time?

Are these money laundering transactions income for "Chen" or income for AurumXchange? If they are income for AurumXchange, are you suggesting that they refund "Chen" for the cost of his money laundering?!

"Just a proposal" in which you intend to hold 140,000 of recovered fund ransom so that AurumXchange will release your "friends" funds?

Because some people believe that you are only "trying to do good" after being found out. Whether true or not, that is the fact of the matter.

Unless you have exclusive access to these email accounts, you cannot possibly be sure of this.

AurumXchange have publicly asked Zhou to send them his contact/business information and state that he is yet to do so.

And what tangible evidence is there of this?

This is something that will not be provably known for some time, maybe never.

Trying to shut down the discussion with the threat of legal eagles getting involved is irrelevant at best.
