Topic: The identity of theymos revealed? (Read 2854 times)
They've found you theymos, CODE MAGENTA, I REPEAT, CODE MAGENTA!
i am not anonymous. do not expect me. 
His identity has been known for a long time...
That's what he probably did.
@OP, nothing has been "revealed". Theymos' identity was never a secret + he posted that himself:

Can you lock this pointless thread?
Thanks for that link. I haven't read it before and it's quite interesting if you ask me. @OP, nothing has been "revealed". Theymos' identity was never a secret + he posted that himself:

I think Theymos is a group of people.
Wait , wait.. wait . Satoshi *is* a group of people ....
I think Theymos is a group of people.
The "news" site got their information from a post by theymos, who posted the subpoena. Theymos obviously did not care about his identity being "revealed" in this case.
Also both his identity and his address are public information, although he seems to delete posts that contain his address (at least from what I have read). Either way this is nothing new

@OP,
Theymos' real name and identity was huge breaking news for the 100th time back in mid 2011.
You're a tad bit late with this "killer" info.

This is BS! Why the fuck are they making Theymos
take time out of his schedule to appear in court
when he can simply email them the records?

He doesn't have to appear, see this part:

Time for a decentralized forum perhaps ?
It's possibly from some legal BS about not being able to cross examine a piece of paper.
Court: Is this a true and accurate copy of defendants posts on bitcointalk.org
Theymos: Yes
Court: Thank you, that will be all.

I seriously don't understand, why do people care to reveal identities if people have done nothing wrong.
THe bitcoin world tends to stay anonymous for no reason.

People have different levels of comfort with themselves in different contexts. Some people want privacy for their success and failures. The "system" wants you all to think disclosure for all behavior at all times is correct and moral just because it makes us easier to farm.

You don't know people have the right to stay anonymous,not everyone likes to stay under spotlight. THe bitcoin world tends to stay anonymous for no reason.

kind of funny that they need to waste time and money in communications and dragging a third party into court simply to hand over documents that anyone can print out.
i think theymos should simply reply to emails with these links

Yah, it's utter BS. I can't even see that they've explicitly requested PMs, just "posts". I would be tempted to go "Alrighty then, 5 point comic sans it is.."
Uh, that's no secret. One of many examples:
...
As many of you know Michael Marquardt AKA Theymos originally wrote Bitcoin Block Explorer, the first web based blockchain exploration tool.

You seriously don't think people have a fundamental right to anonymity?
Although I am not anonymous here I certainly support anyone and everyone's right to be anonymous here or whether else they like.
If you think that people only want to be anonymous because they "have something to hide" then I suggest you need to "think harder".
I support everything said in this post.

what is wrong and what is right?
does he really need to submit anything if the server is outside of the US
I don't think , but maybe the reply is : yes.

theymos should submit the altcoin section first. They will never trouble him again.
And to think that he even did it himself.

I won't post my response because it contains deleted posts which should remain private if at all possible. Probably my response will end up as part of public record, but I'm not going to speed up the process or make it easier for people to find. I already PMed the users affected by this.
This is the first government request/inquiry I've received related to Ulbricht's case. I have received a few other inquiries for other cases.

Maybe this is the first time Theymos experienced a formal subpoena, but I have trouble believing that this is the first time he experienced a law enforcement inquiry.

Damn I was hoping for some shocking revelation.

He has been very open about his identity, he didn't even try black it out on the subpena and he showed us this when he received it.
