This one was a bit more creative than the usual Theymos thread
But interesting enough there sure are a lot of people with this name in the world.
Topic: theymos is a government agent | do not use this forum it is honeypot (Read 9261 times)

With Bitcoin world being a decentralized market, this forum IS pretty centralized. If someone like theymos was to screw with us he could do it pretty easily but he hasnt so far. Its like someone said, trust the person behind the name.
However if theymos did have a govt JOB; it wouldnt concern me, but if he was a political leader, then that would concern me or if his job involved tracking people's conversations / monetary transactions etc etc.

If the OP is telling the truth, I do hope that he has no political views or uses those views to affect the bitcoin market. Hopefully, he's on the inside helping btc as I think he would with the position he has. I'm gonna research this more and post at a later date.

Is this thread brought to us by Homero Garza to try to drive people to his new sham forum?
"The Regulars are coming out." - Paul Revere.
Garza's latest project already crashed and burned: http://bitcoinist.net/press-release-btc-com/
Homero stopped payments on BTC.com and lost it today after making a sizable down payment and $25,000/month payments for 8 months. It had sat idle for 7 months until a couple weeks ago when he conned Bitcoinist into "leasing" it from him (it is likely they were not actually paying anything, just offering pimp service for Homero's scams), and that was a complete and total failure. Quite the shrewd businessman.
Don't worry Garza would end up in Jail... based on my dream..

If i agree the theymos is the government agent ., then actually what will be the problem ?
that would mean a government agent has the ability to read or modify any bitcointalk data. They could be donig very bad things with this, especially since government hate things like bitcoin which give u back the personal freedoms they try to take from u. maybe you post a bitcoin address here to receive 10,000BTC for pizza and theymos just changes it and steals money to illegal fund war in Iraq.

Retarded Kid would be an appropriate name for Garza though... time to search my tinfoil hat

Its not like could, it is. Everyone knows it, i guess? Of course government has access to certain personal data when needed, why wouldnt they? If you didnt do anything wrong why would you care? Its not like they are watching every single person all the time, it seems that thats what some people think...

Name these "big companies" with websites constantly going offline (for days on end) because their service providers were "social engineered" to hand over root password to their servers.
Bitcointalk is not constantly going offline. The last time Bitcointalk went down was over a year ago.lawl, it goes offline all the time. i am getting errors right now. probably a ddos.
I knew it! Theymos lied via Twitter that bitcointalk was offline: https://twitter.com/bitcointalk

Here is PM theymos once send me:
open ur eyes ppl, theymos not to be trusted.
Hello. I'm writing to let you know that due to a subpoena that I received related to a case against BFL, I was forced to release some of your PMs.
In particular, I released all PMs that you sent to or received from the following people, possibly even if you deleted the PM:
Inaba
BFL-Engineer
BFL_Josh
SLok
BFL_Sonny
BFL AM Dave
bcp19
nibbknot
I marked this information as confidential per this protective order, but this does not completely prevent the PMs from being made public. In particular, I believe that BFL has full access to the PMs and could choose to release them.
If you want to know exactly which PMs were released, respond to this PM and I'll look it up.
I regret that this was necessary. Hopefully it does not cause you any trouble.

Actually, that is really nice of him. I'm surprise there wasn't a gag on the subpoena.
It all pertained to the Wood Law class action suit against BFL.
Interesting list of user names, eh? I say that that nibbknot dude, whomever he is
, is the one that has the most to offer up for the investigation. May 26, 2015, 10:01:02 AM
Yes, you guessed it right. If you are a donator - as a result you will gain an ability to change your nickname. Normal users can not change their names.
The only problem here is I didn't know that you can change it to be exactly the same as someone else's name. As you could see there were two account named 'satoshi' at some point.
I am not sure how it is possible. Maybe he used some blank spaces in this name, I am not sure. But you can tell by forum ID when you check profile: real Satoshi ID is just user no3 and this fake is some higher number.

The username and display name are different but I don't know how they changed it. I just tried to change mine to satoshi and satoshi ' and it said the username is reserved.
Edit: it was most likely that one of the characters was special. TF was using "satoshi" and a Google search with that term only comes back with a bunch of forum posts from TF, while a Google search of me manually typing "satoshi" comes back with more results.

What I really want to know is this
How was the op of this forum able to change their name from MR anonymous vip , to satoshi to TradeFortress ??
Does being a donator to the forum allow you to change your user name ?
If not how was this person able to change their name.
Also another poster in this thread changed their name from what it is now to Satoshi.
I posted my second post pointing to the true satoshi.
Then shortly after they change it back and i think other people on the thread modified thier posts also but i cannot be sure on that.

He changed 'display' name not username.
