How is it a scam to try and help people save their homes?  This is a great libertarian alternative to big government welfare solutions to the problem.  It's sad that their business didn't work out, but that isn't criminal.

Yeah, but, there are more things in heaven and earth, ... oh ... UP UP UP!

Yeah, but 'virgin' is still 'hasn't gotten loose enough to take a flashlight without lube' no matter what age you're talking.

I dunno... 38 when you're 48 is like 10 when you're 20, right?

That doc should probably link to this post as well. It's the only one Bruce could delete because the other two were guest posts.

It's nice to contrast "Bitcoin Bruce" claiming that child sex doesn't happen in Pattaya to "Thailand Sex Bruce" talking about karma coming back to bite the asshole foreigners that painfully rape virgin customers for $12. I find it interesting that Bruce differs himself by offering 'love' and 'higher tips'. Nothing about not going after virgins. How old can these virgins be?

Man, you guys kill it with the memegenerator.

It fucking blows my mind that people think that civil court isn't a big deal. I run a business in the service industry. I could stop going to my clients today and never show up again and never call them back, even after taking their money. I would be scamming them, but I would not end up in jail for it, I would end up in civil court. White collar crime rarely carries cuffs.

More likely he just wanted to test if people here will fall for even the most obvious trolling.

I think PinkyPie is just trying to see how fast he can prove he's one of Bruce's shills.

Do you know anything about the Madoff scandal? He wasn't duping poor people, he was stealing from pension funds and university endowments. Poor people invest in big screen TVs and bigger truck tires, not mutual funds.

Absolutely, most scammers go after poor, old people instead of successful businessmen and the rich.  Just look at Bernie Madoff.  If we had a true free, unregulated market that kind of thing would not have happened since poor people would have to smarten up about their business and would not be so careless with their money.

What I find particularly amusing (and sad) is that so many people are falling all over themselves to defend this guy. He's a known liar and fraudster, and that's not just internet speculation - it's all in the court documents! That anyone would believe a word of his parade of indefensible lies (which basically melt down to shouting "LIES! NOT TRUE!" when faced with these documents) is just just insanity. If I were a new Bitcoin investor and I happened onto this situation, I'd leave this forum and not come back. It's just insantiiy.

So, you at least admit you are an "Informant", correct?

I stated that if you turn over your money, to a person who claims to have a mortgage related company, and you did not even bother to check to see if they were licensed, you are as much at fault for your losses, because if it were not for your part in the stupidity, the con artist could not have your cash.
That's all I stated. These kinds of crimes take two people to work. A willing con artist and a willing or stupid victim.

If it was a moderator I am sure your post in self-defense was removed because of the hateful speech it was forced to reference. I personally thought you handled the attack quite reasonably.

Unfortunately, this is often how things are when an ugly truth comes out. The person who wanted his shameful secrets to stay secret is always going to try to get it back into the shadows, and a criminal's allies are always going to resort to thug tactics to try and keep anyone looking for answers intimidated and silent. :/
