Theymos might get a paper to turn over all logs, even if he is in another country, they do help each other out. 5 million in loss is a great reason to do so.

I think we need to stop perpetuating the $5 million urban legend. Blockchain analysis in the 1DkyBEKt5S2GDtv7aQw6rQepAvnsRyHoYM thread points to it being a SilkRoad address, so it's doubtful pirate ever had that many funds under control. with 459 accounts (23 of which are probably sock puppets), that would be an average holding of $11,467. Yes some accounts have been stated to be higher than that, but I find it hard to believe that there would be as many people as gullible as a barnyard animal to get an actual balance that high (maybe a virtual balance, but not coins transferred).

There was a guy here selling pirate debt last week which totally amounted to somewhere in the lower six figures (US).

I can verify this.....as I bought it!

To date, I haven't received one of these emails.

I wouldn't wonder if they visit you in person.

Why would they. You list it on your webpage that your profile links to.

No I think it came from my PGP Signature in Bitcoin OTC http://bitcoin-otc.com/viewgpg.php?nick=sebicas
Could it be because I have a trade with Pirateat40 a few months I guess... http://bitcoin-otc.com/viewratingdetail.php?nick=sebicas&sign=ANY&type=RECV

Or did everybody on the Bitcoin OTC received the same email?

Forum accounts can't always be directly tied to BTCST accounts though.

No, but they probably can be frequently enough to provide useful information.

The theory is they were monitoring IP addresses that accessed various Pirate associated entities.  

But can they get my email address from my ip address?

Why would they. You list it on your webpage that your profile links to.

I have not received an email.

I have visited BS&T, GPUMAX and Bitcoinmax websites but never used any of them.  I signed up for beta access to GPUMAX but never got it.

I rated him -10 on OTC after his default.

Someone should verify this with the actual SEC so we know it isn't just more of pirate's scare tactics.

I got exactly the same email an hour ago...
Here is the full copy: http://pastie.org/4791945

- Anyone know what is this about?
- How did they got my email address?

I didn't invest with Pirate, so I honestly don't know why I am receiving this anyways.

Did you give him a rating on OTC?  It seems that everyone getting it so far has rated Pirate on OTC.

Where did the SEC get the emails from? From pirate?
Anyway, I hope PPT operators will begin sweating.
