Matthew seems to have gone quiet. Maybe he's realized how much money he's losing on Pirate.
BTW, the forum has lots of good IP addresses logged for pirateat40 (he never used Tor) and 4077 PMs to/from him. This should help the investigation. I'd prefer to release this stuff privately to police, though I may release it publicly in a few months if no police officers contact me about it.
You will get the same run around so many others have been getting, Bitcoins arent under their jurisdiction.

I did expect that you were keeping a curious eye on how he was connecting to the forum. I thought about whether you would alert the forum if he were connecting through Tor; I guess I still don't know if you would have!
Hopefully
There are still some very reasonable people who think he'll pay back most/all of the BTC. If he loses both Matthew's bet and Vandroiy's bet and he hasn't at least started a reasonable repayment plan, I'll give him the scammer tag. (It's only symbolic at this point, anyway -- no one's going to be tricked into trading with someone involved in such a high-profile controversy.)
Passthrough operators will not get scammer tags unless they broke explicit contracts.
happens and then
won't be needed.
and yet they still haven't given him the scammer tag. 
WTF !!!

Pirate's recent announcement doesn't add any new information to what was already known before he made the announcement. His declaration that he is in default is more than a week late. It was already an indisputable fact that he was in default.

The key word of your statment.... they "THINK" he will pay back, so far thinking hasn't done much all that good. We all thought pirate was a truthworthy fellow, and we all see how that went.
Thinking doesnt pay the bills (unless your using your ideas for movies like porno), hell it doesnt even mine bitcoin.... Thinking only makes 7% possible for a short period of time
Then in comes the 100% pirate bankers fee....

True, they can always fall back on something. Still though, those poor greedy bastards... (Come on, you got to admit it, 7% weekly?!?! are you shitting me)
Need to make a new label, instead of scammer or member, put "T3h Greed 0wnz Me"
Not just for the passthrough users, but for all bs&t investors.

The bitch is, i can see it now, all the pass through owners will point out the section of the "contract" that leaves them 100% non-liable for the losses.
Nobody disputes that the pass through owners are blameless. They all made it very clear up front that whatever happens happens..
Seriously...
If anybody else would have pulled this crap, they would have been stopped after a few days by either admins or the community as a whole, but the greed just took you bastards for a ride...... welcome to hell.

Well, time to break out the bubbly, its official.
You guys got ripped off... Same with you pass-throughers, gotta have some real balls to build a pt over a ponzi scheme.
