Buying up pirate debt is probably a pretty good idea still. Someone who is motivated could probably make a lot of money.

Building a legal case? Cheesy One day somebody will probably predict his date of death in a prediction market.

But what I find amazing is despite the massive amount of money involved not ONE person took matters in their own hands. I mean at this point we're talking maybe 50 million dollars.
That was the genius behind the whole thing: because he threatened not to pay back anyone who started legal action against him, no two people lost hope at the same time and joined together. By the time one more person lost hope and wanted to go after him, the person who wanted to go after him hours earlier gave up.

The guy just made the perfect scam.

Millions of $ in anonymous and irreversible cash of the interwebz, good luck building a case with that.

What amazes me is that the guy did not even conceal his identity, he is in broad light and nobody paid him a friendly visit.

As a newbie to the scene I've just read up on this guy. I'm astounded that no one has ever taken the law into their own hands in this matter  Shocked (not that i'm advocating it)

You lead and I'll watch you walk away.

A person who is seriously considering taking matters into his/her own hands would probably not announce it on the forum.   Wink

True enough, we don't really know that there will NEVER be any repercussions.

Laughing all the way from the tumbler to the bank. Did you see the truck photo? Sweet truck worth about $60k fully loaded.

I did see that. Amazing how he just got away with it all.

No, he was a true entrepreneur. He saw a window of opportunity and took it. How many people do you suppose Gates stepped over and stole from to get to the top (remember Netscape Navigator).

Many people were pissed because they fell for the bullshit. I spotted what he was and who he was long ago. I wrote a post against Clipse, Pirate and Goat (as CornedBeefHash) calling them out and debated with all if them. In my view they proved themselves to be disreputable in that thread so I never trusted them and never lost a dime to any of them. I can't feel sorry for anyone that can't make good decisions, disregard advice and lose money because of it. gmaxwell also spoke out against them constantly on irc (in that thread too) and no one listened. You reap what you sew. Trying to get rich too quick might just make you poor quick instead.

Well yeah, sure. It was pretty clearly bs from the start.

No different from central bankers or dictators really in the real world so I don't dwell much on it, they all act exactly the same.

pirateat40 decides to make light of the situation by dressing up as a pirate:

Millions of dollars and 9 months later it's just a joke to him.
