Welcome to the SaltySpitoon, how Tough are ya?
[...]
There are plenty of big companies that have been hacked in the past, doesnt matter their budget or how big they are, that doesnt prove anything.
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.

As why do they "promote" ponzies wich they not, it was already mentioned plenty of times that is better to have them all in 1 place, i dont agree with it but its what it is.
Having a section dedicated to promotion of ponzis is promoting ponzis, no lie.
And how is it that a forum started to discuss and promote Bitcoin suddenly has not just gambling & warez selling sections, but a section dedicated to ponzis? Which friend of Bitcoin thought this is a good idea?
Wake up, bro!

Target, HomeDepot, ChickFileta, Anthem, Blue Cross, Sony, USPS, Staples, KMart, Dairy Queen, SuperValu, Jimmy John's, JP Morgan, PFChangs, Epsilon, Zappos, Adobe Systems, Yahoo, Marriot, Hilton, etc. Those are what come up for large businesses hacked in 2014. Facebook was hacked in 2013, with 1.016 Billion dollars in security spendings, and an additional 39.9 million per year in maintenance costs.
 
Bitcointalk doesn't promote ponzis, they just aren't against the rules. People complained about them being mixed in with other gambling games, so they were given their own section. Keep in mind, dice sites are just as illegal in the US as ponzi schemes. Its up to the operators to block the IPs of users from countries where their services are illegal.

This is not him. I have seen his mugshot. For one, he is much younger.
theymos was arrested? What for?
I don't remember. If you really wanted to know, criminal records are public domain. Shouldn't be too hard to find out if you really care. IMO the OP is mistaken, and he is referencing another M. Marquardt. As my posting history indicates I am not the biggest Theymos fan either, so I have no reason to cover for him. His documents are out there if you bother to look. I will not be providing them though, so don't ask.

He's also a professor:

Picture of Theymos aka Michael Marquardt ?

Dr. Michael Marquardt is Professor of Human Resource Development and International Affairs as well as Program Director of Overseas Programs at George Washington University. Mike also serves as President of the World Institute for Action Learning.

Not sure where he gets the time to run this forum...

I can give you an example, the psn network that was hacked a few years ago, for a LONG time actually affecting tens of millions of people. See, even the biggest companies get hacked, its what it is. Having a section to gather all ponzies on it is not promoting ponzies, search the definition of promoting first.

Another useless thread, this forum is more better and awesome (every day) and the soc. engir. attack was really impressive.

How is it useless?all you need to know is in OP, theymos works for state legislatures.

What is the problem if he is working for the gov. or he is not working for them ? Everyone is free do use or not use this forum, and no one is forcing you to post here Wink.

Have a great day.

It got a little off-topic.

Not sure I understand.
You're saying that discussion of bitcoin is impossible without subfora dedicated to promoting gambling, ponzis & warez?
Are these things somehow intrinsic to bitcoin?
No, I'm not saying that. But, with the subforums dedicated to gambling, ponzis, and warez, the newbies and people who don't know what they are doing are less likely to be drawn into scams since it is made abundantly clear that things in these forums could be scams and that you could lose your money. If these weren't there, then threads promoting scams would be everywhere and it would be difficult to know what a scam is, what could be a scam, or what is legit.

Seriously? This is getting a bit ridiculous, if Theymos was a government agency I bet that a lot more illegal activity would have been shut down a lot quicker. This site was made by Satoshi, is he a government agent as well?

maybe he was and all planned for him to 'dissapear' to make things more mysteriousssss and instead another agent took things over.

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.

Many companies do not have their websites going offline for days at a time because a) they have their own servers and b) they have teams of people fixing the problem instead of only one guy.

The section dedicated to ponzis and investment games is there to protect people. If these scams were not moved into the section where the top of each thread has a massive warning about gambling and potential loss, then many people would be scammed and Bitcoin would be further brought down by the number of scams. Having these in their own subsection hidden inside the gambling section prevents people from being scammed and keeps all of the ponzis in one place.

OP, agree with you 100%. It all makes perfect sense now. Bitcointalk's not just a honeypot, it  continuously does its best to devalue Bitcoin by making bitcoiners appear to be greedy, brainless scumbags to the rest of the world.

inb4 NO!!!11!:

-Why continuous, hilarious security breaches? "MY SERVICE PROVIDER GAVE ANON ROOT"Huh How is it that forums without $1.5 million in the till manage to not have this shit happen, again and again?

-Who but an enemy saboteur would create a special ponzi section on a forum dedicated to discussing and promoting Bitcoin?

-Who but a government plant would encourage buying & selling of bitcointalk user accounts, so that those accounts could, in turn, spam this forum with meaningless drivel at best & more likely scam other bitcoiners?

-Why do you suppose a forum, operated by a US person from US soil, is allowed to continue promoting ponzis & illegal, unregistered "bitcoin securities" (which inevitably turn out to be 100% fraud & run away)?

Think about it.

There are plenty of big companies that have been hacked in the past, doesnt matter their budget or how big they are, that doesnt prove anything. As why do they "promote" ponzies wich they not, it was already mentioned plenty of times that is better to have them all in 1 place, i dont agree with it but its what it is.

Nothing is certain. We still have no clue about identity of Satoshi but seeing how everything is connected in the bitcoin world. Government conspiracy is not out of the question here.
But what knowing this information change for normal bitcoin users? Probably nothing. So move on, nothing to see here.

Here is PM theymos once send me:

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.

open ur eyes ppl, theymos not to be trusted.


Actually, that is really nice of him. I'm surprise there wasn't a gag on the subpoena.

gag order on subpoena is not legally binding. only NSL can have legally binding gags.

So he was requested to give the information due to BFL being known scammers and having a case against the government, what did you expect him to do?

translation: theymos has fully complied with requests for information from government in the past. i am an innocent person, i commited no crime, government has no warrants for me or anything, yet my privacy was violated due to this, the government collected private information from innocent peoples who were not under investigation like me thanks to theymos.
The person/people you were communicating with are/were under investigation. Theymos was served with a legal order demanding the information that would most likely hold up in most courts around the world.

It should be noted that there are rumors that your account was hacked and if this is the case then you very much would be committing a crime
