Bitcoin: An Idea Worth Spending
Marcel!

You dirty stinking son of a whore freak!

I have read some of your blog with deep deep disgust. You really are a singularly selfish and misguided, sad and lost little individual. And an ugly one too. Did I tell you about my gf and the pic of you on a horse?!

Now as you know you Romanians are now welcome in England but please if you think  pseudo-progressive Liberal Democracy is strange you shouldn't come. I'm sure Romania has it all!

Now fuck off out of my thread you dirty soiled little creature.



I found this thread via some odd avenue, and opt to reply to its last post, hoping it's taking with a grain of salt.

Is your post written in the spirit of the sentiment expressed at the onset of this thread or are you genuinely ticked off?

That's not how it works.
Lawyers cannot compel anyone, only courts can.

Even my dog knows that's not the case. There are a whole host of public authorities (who also employ lawyers) that can issue orders that must be abided by. One example, the Health and Safety regulator can close any unsafe building site, shop, public space in an instant and they don't need to ask a court. The local Council noise/nuisance department can close down a loud party at the drop of a hat etc etc. Lawyers acting on behalf or regulatory authorities have wide-ranging powers (acting on behalf of the body) to demand compliance.

You are clearly very ill-informed for a 29 year old.

nubbins you may be asked or told to hand over this info by dotcoins lawyer, I would suggest you do that sooner rather than later.
That's not how it works.
Lawyers cannot compel anyone, only courts can. And much simpler, they will subpoena the registrar of headfucking.net, a domain I actually own, as it's the only thing you got right so far.

Of course, dotcoin will have to explain that he's upset I linked to https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/problem-with-bourse-forced-buyback-on-cryptostocks-361852 which he really don't want te police to see. Nor the PMs where he threatens me physically.

You are wrong actually, you have a very limited view of the law, regulators and the courts if you think only a court can compel. There is a whole world of regulatory authority out there that maybe you should be aware of as you seem to think you are above the law it seems:



'Investigation

The Commission's investigative powers to enforce Article 101 are detailed in the Antitrust Regulation. The Commission is empowered, for example, to:

Send information requests to companies;
In the context of an inspection:
enter the premises of companies;
examine the records related to the business;
take copies of those records;
seal the business premises and records during an inspection;
ask members of staff or company representatives questions relating to the subject-matter and purpose of the inspection and record the answers.'

http://ec.europa.eu/competition/antitrust/procedures_101_en.html


And here is the body that will no doubt be in contact with you soon Pankkake:
http://www.autoritedelaconcurrence.fr/user/standard.php?id_rub=167&id_article=1078

Here is their view on their own authority, perhaps you should read up a bit on your own country's laws and the powers of your national institutions and bodies that are responsible for ensuring EU Treaties are abided by?

The Competition Authority has the power to issue injunctions, to impose financial sanctions, to accept undertakings and grant leniency to some companies who cooperate in helping to detect or determine the existence agreements. It punishes cartels, abuse of dominance and predatory pricing. Moreover, it may have to make, even on its own initiative, opinions on various competition issues. Its composition, organization and procedure of referral to ensure its effectiveness and independence.

I have no problem with police i am not a scammer or do anything wrong nor my PMs threat you physically! Just ask you several times about your correct address to file the complaint right!

it's all stored and saved here in forum and on my pc.

And yes European Antitrust Laws protect companies before things happen like that here, it is not only a scandal it shows me how unprofessional and jealous you people works, there is a lot of incompetence in the room now but not on my site.

I know very well anti-competitive business practices and the law about, as i told you already you do that with the wrong guy, i want to show you how law protect us from people ( trolls ) like you!

A french antitrust lawyer in Paris cost you front up 10k € so make your wallet open right now this will be expensive case for all of participating partys!

I copy the whole IRC chat of you guys since 26.4.2013 i am sure there are so many interesting things inside.

Dotcoin is right, this is a scandal and is a breach of EU anti-competitive business laws and those carrying out this unfair competition will be seriously fined (up to 30% of their annual sales - potentially devastating for the company) by the courts or the EC for their law breaking. All the money Dotcoin pays out in legal fees for this case will be paid back to him in full and on top of that he can successfully claim compensation for damages and that will be paid by the actors in this case be they part of a company or acting as individuals.

We know 100% that if Romain Bignon is not pankkake himself that he knows him personally and has been to meets with him:

http://people.symlink.me/~rom1/events/weboob/2011-06-02-weboob.txt?view=raw


'pankkake (Da Pin Gouine)' - so pankkake is known as 'The Penguin'. And Roger Floupard owns a website about Penguins - www.engu.in

So we have the right people here, be it Romain or Roger, there is enough evidence to take this to the French Police or the EC.

I've sold goods to many high-profile members of the Bitcoin community over the past few years, one of whom you know as pankkake.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

I sent registered mail to pankkake last fall. His name is not Romain Bignon, nor is it Roger Floupard, nor does he live in Bordeaux, nor Sceaux.

Maybe you've dug up one of his friends, maybe you've dug up some random schmo who's never met pankkake, I have no idea. Either way, you're on the wrong track. Neither pankkake's real name nor his address have appeared in this thread so far.

Keep up the detective work, guys. Great job so far.

We not stalk a stranger Romain!

The finding game: http://people.symlink.me/~rom1/blog/
romain has found pankkake

He is CTO of BUDGET INSIGHT
French Company located near Paris

I'm happy for you to clear this up! Don't get so defensive!

So let's start at the begining, Romain uses your personal blog for his contact details. Why is that?


Unless you prove otherwise I think it is fair and right that me and dotcoin both see that quite a bit of evidence points to you being Romain Bignon.

A post about being allergic to cats from 10 years ago doesn't cut it. It could have been a lie and you can grow out of such allergies. Please give us concrete evidence you are not Bignon. Legal options are being investigated against you as we speak so you should consider that very very carefully.


Edit - you offered to meet me (by myself) with your friend (two of you) in an unknown Bar in Paris. I wouldn't be so stupid as to fall for that set-up so it was not a genuine offer and sounded like you wanted to threaten me.

It seems pankkake has complained and reported these latest posts:

No action will be taken for the three reports you sent in. Moderators will not remove a post just because one user deems it to be false.




So I just wonder why 'pankkake' would complain about this if he wasn't Romain Bignon? Why would he be bothered about a stranger being accused???

Good find, that is more evidence that Pankkake is Romain Bignon.

-likes same genre of music music as pankkake
-has same Python dev skill set as pankkake

Is this person not Mircea Popescu?

No. pankkake is French. Popescu is a Romanian sociopath and he and his MPEx exchange is being investigated by the SEC. Smiley


As he owns headfucking.net I think Romain Bignon is pankakke. He has photos up on symlink of a Scorpions gig he went to - just the sort of music pankkake likes on last.fm.

Interesting, Romain Bignon is a Python dev. Pankkake had some python work done for MP (he received a WoT rating which is now missing).

Anyone that thinks getting the SEC involved is a good idea also thinks getting 1 satoshi per share in return is a good idea.
The only way out I can see is forcing kslaughter to come clean on his lies, release financial statements, especially what was paid to eASIC and UMC - with proof. You'll also be able to judge how much he paid for his expenses.
Then you'll know how much bitcoins are left per share, and he could start a buyback program for those who want out.

There are other ways, which probably will result in jail time, but the victims might care more about their money than punishing the scammer.

Beware though, what made Labcoin disappear were talks about refunds.

And now that he admitted some of his own lies, there's no doubt left.

I don't know if it's the SEC's job, but it's just a textbook investment fraud. Collect money, fail by doing nothing.

HERE PANKKAKE ADMITS HE IS OFFERING A COMMERCIAL SERVICE TO TROLL ON COMPANY THREADS AND TO DAMAGE THE COMMERCIAL INTERESTS OF THE COMPANIES THAT HE IS PAID TO TARGET.

Yes and the sheer number of fairly obvious shills in press comments is scary, it's almost like it's become a primary market for PR companies.
Yes, there have been many revelations supporting this fact. Even the European Union has been hiring trolls. A few times I have caught very specific waves of users praising a particular product.
It can even come to this: http://tech.slashdot.org/story/13/11/20/2218252/bp-hired-company-to-troll-users-who-left-critical-comments

I believe I offer a slightly better and less evil product. Cheesy

To be fair most companies he troll eventually seem to reveal that they deserve all of the criticism he directs their way. LabCoin makes a prime example of that.

He called Labcoin a scam on the very first page of a 1000 page thread.  Even you can achieve this mighty feat.  All you need to do is call EVERYTHING a scam like he does.

Just met our mutual friend for the first time on this thread I started, pitching for investors for our A round: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/next-generation-14nm-mining-grid-358242

Wasn't a proper trolling, but he was getting there. Wouldn't say he harmed our business (had eight responses from potential investors), but certainly went on the attack.

My second ever 'ignore' after Mr Crumbs.  Smiley

EDIT: full disclosure - the ornery bugger was actually half-right about us. Our plan was indeed flawed, and we ended up retracting the pitch. But we're a genuine 4 year-old company and I personally couldn't be bothered dealing with a neo-nazi teenage troll screaming accusations.

Yes, what actually happened was last night another well known troll Volcanic Eruptor (the one who issued a death threat to Ken), posted that he would not post again in the thread and wished us luck with the business.

Because of what he said, and not believing he'd keep his word, I posted this response;


Thankyou. What's your public address?  This means a lot.

As you can see, my response is loaded with sarcasm.

Having read my post, pankkake said words to the effect, "That reminds me I'm going to post in my (Hire A Troll) thread because there's something I've been meaning to say for a while."

And that's when he went off to post;

NEW BUSINESS MODEL:

Any bitcoins sent to 1EpdhQNyr2H288XXaiT7ho7vg1qHHLg8hq will count towards the Make pankkake stop posting Fund.

This entails all Bitcointalk posting, IRC on any channel having bitcoin in its name, same with subreddits (though I have no reddit account, thank god), etc. Since most of this activity is public, it is very easy to check.

Current price is 0.1337 BTC per day. For example, if 0.1337 BTC is sent, I will have to shut up for at least 24 hours - any slippage is considered void and I have to redo it.


Ken then informed us of the existence of this extortion attempt.

Are you saying that as well as making this extortion post in his own thread he also put it directly into the official thread of the company Active Mining (ACtM)?

Here's a post he made yesterday on the Active Mining thread.  It's dated today and not 22nd Nov because the original post was deleted by Ken and I copied this from one of Ken's posts where he had quoted this person.

+1     It's about time this forum and community started taking responsibility and stood up to illegal activities taking place. 

Bitcoin might be compared to the Wild West, but no-one should be allowed to conduct themselves outside the law.

I hope bitcointalk.org have records of all posts made as Ken Slaughter CEO of Active Mining tends to delete posts made by this pankkake character.

I've had run ins with him before and have known for some time about the 'services' he offers.

This is Bitcoin 2013, not 1931 Chicago.

Please feel free to post examples of the user Pankkake trolling and damaging the reputation of any company on Bitcointalk.

THIS IS THE CENTRAL THREAT TO EXTORT AND BLACKMAIL COMPANIES ON THIS FORUM.


HERE PANKKAKE CONFIRMS HIS WALLET ADDRESS WHERE EXTORTED FUNDS ARE TO BE SENT.
HE CONFIRMS THE AMOUNT OF MONEY HE WANTS DAILY (IN BTC) - APPROX 100USD AT TODAYS EXCHANGE RATE.

If less is sent, nothing happens until the next 0.1337 tranche happens. For example, I get 0.1, nothing happens, after a while someone else sends 0.04, then it happens. That way, you can pool your desire to shut me up.

HERE PANKKAKE ADMITS HE IS OFFERING A COMMERCIAL SERVICE TO TROLL ON COMPANY THREADS AND TO DAMAGE THE COMMERCIAL INTERESTS OF THE COMPANIES THAT HE IS PAID TO TARGET.

Yes and the sheer number of fairly obvious shills in press comments is scary, it's almost like it's become a primary market for PR companies.
Yes, there have been many revelations supporting this fact. Even the European Union has been hiring trolls. A few times I have caught very specific waves of users praising a particular product.
It can even come to this: http://tech.slashdot.org/story/13/11/20/2218252/bp-hired-company-to-troll-users-who-left-critical-comments

I believe I offer a slightly better and less evil product. Cheesy

HERE PANKKAKE CONFIRMS HE HAS BEEN KNOWN BY THE SAME NAME FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS.

Part of me wonders if this is an elaborate trolling scheme and he'll take the buyer's money and run Shocked
Yeah right I'll do that and get myself a bad reputation on a nickname I have been using for more than ten years.

Also if it isn't clear, you pay after because pricing depends on the ending and number of posts.

THIS IS THE OPENING POST OF THE THREAD 'HIRE A TROLL' (DATED SEP 07TH 2013) WHERE THE USER PANKKAKE OFFERS TO 'TROLL' THIS FORUM IN REWARD FOR MONEY FROM INTERESTED PARTIES.

I offer my trolling services.

Do you want to make some users rage? Reveal their dark/hideous side? Have some fun? Do you have no time to reply, yet have a hard time resisting duty calls?

What I am selling is not just dumb sockpuppet messages, it is carefuly crafted rage-inducing posts. Or simply proving a point. In can make people rage or simply make them look wrong while staying classy. You choose.

It's not a way to get your scam approved on Bitcointalk. It's not limited to forums or even this forum. It's everywhere users can write stuff and it gets read. It's not a way to make lies make sense, I won't do it and can't do it anyway.

It's a way of responding to stuff when you don't have the time.

What I would like the most is doing stuff like responding to idiotic comments or articles, for examples about Bitcoin. There are many in the French press, and I have responded to some rather well.

Price: 0.005 BTC per post, i.e. 1 BTC gives you 200 posts.

This price is indicative; some people will have a "pay what you feel it's worth" deal.
I also give free trials to people with enough reputation provided they give public feedback (positive or negative).

Skills:
I have 10+ years experience trolling forums and have eventually been banned in most. I know how moderators think (and have been part of moderator teams, though I really dislike the job), so I can play with the rules if I want to. I'm used to threats.
I have an extensively tweaked browser which allows me to be faster than most.
I have hurt a lot of feelings just on this forum.
Languages: English, French

Terms:
  • If I get banned before some interesting results you'll get a reduced price
  • I am not selling my identity, I am selling content, you are not buying sockpuppets
  • I reserve the right to refuse offers though I have little interest for political correctness
