I almost feel bad about having principles and not taking advantage of all these idiots. This guy is playing the Ponzi scam book line by line. This is so easy it's insane.
You'd have to wait for some time though. Right now the community is in the phase of moral hangover. When the pirate thing finally fades out, they'll be all bullish for ponzi schemes (and other scams) again.

I don't feel bad. I am disgusted, disappointed and ashamed of other people's idiocy. Even NOW there are still people who still trust pirate at least to some extent. I mean... how is that even possible? They must be completely, utterly retarded, for christ's sake! Only the fact that they've lost large sums of money provides me a little satisfaction. Anyway, I'm enraged. I'm trying to laugh it off, but I guess this is just too much for me.

I guess the quote in my sig pretty much sums it up. Fucking greed is in all of you. And you don't know how to control it yet.

What contract?  Does anyone actually have a signed contract?  A loan document?  Even a promissory note? 

I'm pretty sure accepting consideration is considered a contract.

Only some people have contracts with pirate, many others have contracts with the PPT operators.  While people can probably prove the elements of offer, acceptance and consideration, there could still be problems with enforcing.  Courts will not enforce contracts for things which are illegal in their jurisdiction, so some (or even all) aspects of the contracts people have with pirate or the PPT operators may be unenforceable.  It is up to the plaintiffs to prove their claims and that means proving that pirate controlled the addresses to which they sent their BTC.

<@pirateat40> Those looking to file a suit against me or BTCST will not be eligible for repayment.


I would be fascinated to know on what legal ground, he believes this statement is enforceable. 

Let's use a little common sense.  He is essentially taking the position of "I know I breached this contract with you. But if you sue me for breach of contract I will never pay you!" 

Good luck with that. 




I see it logic from the point of view that if you file a suit against me for unpaid, I can't pay you until the legal process is over.So you're excluded from any payments starting from that date.

Possibly, but that's not how I took it from the context of his statement.  Plus, even if that were the case, if I filed a lawsuit against him I'm free to dismiss it at anytime I want.  So if he started paying people I could always drop the suit. 

He's basically just trying to use a scare tactic to try to keep people from filing suits against him. 


(Obviously I'm a believer  Grin)

If he's trying to pay, do not blame him for try don't have problems with authority.

In addition is possible that there things of questionable legality that a lawsuit ( even if removed ) could uncover, that would be bad for everyone.

Well I think it's a positive that he hasn't completely disappeared off the face of the Earth yet, never to be heard from again.  So hopefully he does follow through.

What contract?  Does anyone actually have a signed contract?  A loan document?  Even a promissory note?  

I was just using the contract statement as an analogy.  I could of used a tort reference.  "I know I hit you with my car.  But if you sue me I won't pay your medical bills!"

But since you brought up the contract thing, a contract doesn't have to be in writing.  There are only a few exceptions to this rule, and this is referred to as the Statute of Frauds.  Namely, contracts for the sale of goods in excess of $500, contracts that cannot be performed within 1 year, and contracts for the sale/purchase of real estate.

So there might be a breach of contract claim based on conduct.

If he is a scammer, would have already gone and all he has done until now was not necessary.
If he lost all bitcoins in a bad business, we will not recover it with a lawsuit.
If money is frozen for a bad decision, we will not recover faster with a lawsuit.

I would expect the 12, to see what happens.
It's called denial.
Don't worry, you'll get over it eventually. I think.

I have no hurry. Wink

I am starting to think he does have a lawyer but not to protect him but to help figure out how to run.

If he is a scammer, he would have to be extremely stupid to not have already run off before he announced that he was closing up shop.

I also do not believe that he has a lawyer.
I am starting to think he does have a lawyer but not to protect him but to help figure out how to run.  Lawyers are a dime a dozen and I am sure he can toss a few dimes to get one.  
All I can say is this is one long con so maybe it is not a con in a way.  Maybe what has happened is he lost all the coins in a ponzi but was not a ponzi but a cry for help and or attention.  He enjoyed the attention and then when the money ran out he is enjoying all the attention he is getting from us asking where the coins are.  Basically it sounds like he needs a hug Sad.  Anyone want to go and hug him, I am sure some do but not in a way you would expect for someone who is emotionally scarred.
The good news is he is getting the attention he needs from this and that is why the date just keeps going and going further and further out.  Feel good your helping someone with issues.
Popcorn anyone and by the way I did pay for this entertainment so I can chime in.
