Whoops. It only takes one mistake...lol.
I'm glad you have the balls to release that information instead of giving the lame excuse of "privacy"
I value privacy. My sharing of this was with much reluctance.
This is appropriate disclosure for an LEO, not a forum with already unstable characters. All we need are gold dealers confirming where mobs can get some
of that fine Judengeld "Internet justice".
If you felt the need to disclose this, you should have sent this info to the officer or agent investigating this for possible criminal prosecution, or possibly the attorney involved in the civil action DS mentions as being in progress.
I now know the price at which you value privacy. It is far too low.
As a long time supporter of Casascius and his coins and someone who wants to track down pirate I'm disappointed this was just put out on the forum.
I think asking the forum what police officer is investigating would have been the best way to go here. Anyway we all make mistakes (I fully understand why you did it) and I hope that you make a new privacy policy and post it on your website Casascius.
Thanks
Not that it is lost in the show wrestling of strong words , Sir Goat
Me too , I value privacy but,
as you, I value standing up to my word and as I know, that you haven´t me on ignore yet, you are not allöwed to ignore me :
1.5-3% per day isn't unusual for an online ponzi scheme (zeek managed to get to ~$600m and last over a year offering rates like that).
What interests me though is you saying he paid out more than he got in - what details do you have for that?
Block chain evidence, and no at times it seems he dipped into negative value however at the end it is clear he was up. Many people seemed to give him a lot of money once everyone started telling ponzi.
I agree we do not need to know what happened before we file a complain and we might not ever know. However collect evidence just seemed like the right first step. Part of this step is who is owed what and to see if the want to file a complaint as well. Sadly many large PPT operators at this time seem to not want to join us. Some slowly are talking with us however.
Thanks.
Also some smart people still think pirate had nothing to do with a ponzi. You really can at times make more than 1% a day just doing arb. Honestly pirate could have been something else.
Anyway we want to get evidence for the parts we are missing to get a better picture. Also it would help if pirate would just open up and talk.
Thanks.
The first thing we would like to do is find out exactly what pirate was doing.
Thats easy. He took your coins and ran.
Whatever Pirate did with your coins, "invest", sell, gamble, coke or hookers doesnt matter one yota.
Why dont you focus on verifying his ID and filing a formal complaint?There are powerful people on this forum, who nor want pirate@40 to be located, neither to see his uncooked accounting made public -- thats why---and thats why it takes 6 weeks
for Goat to open this thread (going after Trendon Shavers) and now to put even that 3 steps back to the closed one (aggregating data) and IRC and thats why now, even as a
Trendon Shavers will be identified, nor proper accounting, neither the operator of BCST will be found.
It is good to hear that people are making "arrangments" to go after Pirate. But all in all. I'm not sure much will come from it.
By all means put Good money into chasing after bad money. Perhaps you might turn a profit in all of this. Well some PPTs obviously have (i think).
Bitcoin has moved into the strong hands. Get over it. Stop trusting scumbags on the internet to hold your damn bitcoins.
Read my posts in bitcoinmax before they are all becoming censored like in here and you can again see in the rear - view mirror :
"Caution - Objects might be nearer than they appear"
the first step should be to file a complaint imo. The sooner the better. Let them do their job.
We are doing this as a group and this is the way they wanted to do it.
Cheers Zyk
I'm pretty sure 99% of the coin will come from people with large BTCST accounts and will be managed by some one trusted outside of this mess.
Also a few trolls will not stop us. We are going to take legal action if we can even if a few of you call us names. I understand that some in the community want Pirate to get away with it but the best action can and should be taken by people with BTCST accounts. It will be difficult for people with out BTCST accounts to sue or file legal charges. This to argue otherwise is silly.
Thanks for your support.
Are those anonymous "trusted people outside of this mess" to be found on IRC only ? Who chips in those 99% coins please?
Thanks Zyk
