Why is your name on VJ steam account?

I have already posted here, and on MPG what I think of PoM. He knows I think it was him on SR, and always PM'd me to to deny it. I'm well aware I could be being manipulated by him.

However:

Demanding the FBI arrest him, accusing him of being on SR, being publicly sceptical about his prison sentence, and tipping off the FBI to websites purporting to be by him seems like a strange way of being manipulated/being him. Does it not?

nbrk are you POM? you are trying real hard

Jesus, bitcointalk is a reptile house...

The fact varietyjones.com and all the other blockoperator profiles are still up and running suggests FBI. Doesn't look good for you twats does it? It's servers are in the US. Tips have been sent.

Wow. This guy "Variety Jones" seems like a cool guy. I wish I could maybe meet him on this site soon. The way you described him makes me really interested in who he really his. He seems like a really smart guy with great ideas for this site.

I finally got me some time liberated by myself to check this varietyjones.com homepage and its trails.
All of his art is linking to Society6.com, which is clearly controled by the same person.
Both registered in California.
Archive.org gives me many different versions of the site Society6.com
https://web.archive.org/web/*/society6.com

First version of the site: https://web.archive.org/web/20080828044143/http://www.society6.com/
Its sourcecode has another site linked: http://sogma.com/
Only interesting fact that I see is, that Society6 is shown as "Partners" among some unusual big players (Sony, WB, Sega). Looking like they wanted to push Society6 as a "serious"partner. Looks pretty much connected to me.

Archive.org also brings up the names of the founders:

I would say that Mr. Lucas Tirigall knows exactly where this Atlantis wolf and the other paintings on varietyjones.com are coming from.
I would even say, that one of this 3 guys is the owner of varietyjones.com and they all have nothing to do whatsoever with the SR VJ we are talking about.

They all are in California and the VJ.com pictures (incl. that famous wolf) where most likely made in the artist district of Downtown L.A.

He goes by Mother now...



Psych.

It's amazing that people can keep their anonymity so well. It's just so hard to do these days...

Here is the Jared+ShaBang or PoM+Shabang, or ShaBang+Gypsy+Old Pink part of the madness.

http://www.myplanetganja.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=11022&sid=495b98c02ff798abc2f7ae65bcffed9b&start=375#p144622

All this stuff is raw, and I was editing posts as I was finding stuff. At this point I am genuinely starting to become worried that this is all actually real. I'm fairly OK with my personal safety, and my identity, but Jared has a habit of monitoring exit nodes, and I'm afraid he'll find some thread. Or ShaBang, or PoM, or ... If the Feds take an interest (and find) me IRL, I'll be nice and offer you a cuppa and a bikkie (*snaps out of it* Naw, man - FUCK THE PO-- *trails off* --lice? *begins shaking*), but I will not respond to any form of contact by email/pm. I will not talk to journalists because I've published everything I've found. I am probably not going to write anything formal, because I don't want to expose myself any more than I already have. Jesus. I'm either aiding a criminal with his cover story/excuse, or poking the biggest fucking wasps nest I've ever come across. The mania is passing. The reality is setting in. *puke*

Wouldn't put it past him. Still can't shake the feeling I've been manipulated in some obvious way (the double triplle about turn bluff theory that this is all self-generated pathos for his victim story -- still think it through. All the points don't add up. It's too messy. Who knows). But that comment looks like it was made by GN's #1 fanboy (himself).

"He's dreaming now," said Tweedledee: "and what do you think he's dreaming about?"
Alice said "Nobody can guess that."
"Why, about you!" Tweedledee exclaimed, clapping his hands triumphantly. "And if he left off dreaming about you, where do you suppose you'd be?"
"Where I am now, of course," said Alice.
"Not you!" Tweedledee retorted contemptuously. "You'd be nowhere. Why, you're only a sort of thing in his dream!"
"If that there King was to wake," added Tweedledum, "you'd go out — bang! — just like a candle!"
"I shouldn't!" Alice exclaimed indignantly. "Besides, if I'm only a sort of thing in his dream, what are you, I should like to know?"
"Ditto" said Tweedledum.
"Ditto, ditto!" cried Tweedledee.

only registered to post, as i haven't seen it mentioned anywhere else yet.

likely 5 year old meaningless speculation, but a nice reminder that this could literally all be one old dude talking to himself.

IIRC, the link between DPR and satoshi was that some of Hal's coins that he mined in Bitcoin's early days were sold on Mt Gox and that some coins that were linked to Silk Road were also sold on Mt Gox around the same time.

I don't remember reading anything about the evidence presented about the claim that only 22% of DPR's coins were seized, however if credible evidence was presented (or if there is credible evidence) then there may be more credibility to the diamond story

Just that someone was trying to get people to look. *Seems* to have started out in a subtle way, but then escalated into all out provocation and "journalism". OK, this could all be a figment of my mania, but you would rather I didn't go into all these details? You ask me what I'm trying to prove -- only that I think this is a deliberate drama. Why? Yes. Why? You have the possibility of Atlantis people ( ‘Loera’ and ‘Vladimir’ or the facebook mod cicero) wanting to shift the blame, or some FBI folks not letting what they got on Atlantis go to waste, or maybe it's all just a weird game someone is playing. The 3noka stuff proves this stuff was being posted way back in 2012 (the original accounts and pictures), but a year ago, long after the atlantis skuttle, someone started re-posting links and images and created a character at the end of it all with the handle Variety Jones on one end,  and a website called varietyjones.com at the other. Someone with access to these original old accounts. What do you think they're trying to say?

again: "Aaanyway, tl;dr: if you want someone who is in to following trails, to find your imigur account, you name it CE5. "

Failing that you set up a website called varietyjones.com and put some poorly hidden incriminating shit in the images directory.

Failing that ... etc.

It's speculation with facts in-between. Maybe this was the plan... I guess mud sticks. Someone was going to find this stuff anyway. An earnest journalist, or an 'investigation'. Take your pick.

This is not the first time the fuzz have tried to muddy the name jones to cover their shit (a long bow?):

Very interesting stuff, I will look into this stuff deeper myself

I really don't understand your point. All this kiddy stuff about cicada and gaming. What are you trying to prove? That the FBI agent alias "Diamond" is the owner of the website varietyjones.com and registered an account at a gaming site with the nick "Variety Jones"?
Really, I don't get it...

The claw video is the gypsy nirvana video.

I feel I should explain about cicada. The thing that first twigged it for me (that this could be a bait trail) was the CE5 reference. The varietyjones images *seem* like they could be a secret cache, but this CE5 thing...

Unbeknownst to us, there is/was a horde of high-functioning code crackers following an online crypto game called cicada 3301 (now stalled). What does 3301 mean? That's part of the puzzle. (hex)CE5=3301(dec). I only stumbled on this when the yahoo search engine helpfully suggested 3301 when I was searching for CE5 (google didn't give me squat, although I was probably typing it in backwards like a prat. ). I then found the CE5 reddit account which blatantly was giving 3301 style clues (cicada mixes crypto with high art).

When cicada began, people were confused as to who was running it. Due to the high art references it seemed odd for the run-of-mill DOD sponsored hacking challenges/cons/recruitment drives (see:defcon,hackaday,zebulun (I'm sure I remember that was funded by the navy?)? et. al.).

Turns out cicada was run by a bunch of lefties, and I think this is what contributed to it's loss of popularity. That and ironically enough, players laying false trails to gain an advantage.

These challenges attract high functioning types that are ideologically/ethically pretty vacant -- just more into the fantasy than the consequences side of things (and we all fall victim to that... oh dear(see:me(low-functioning idiot))). Funnily enough the winners of the first cicada were pretty miffed when they found no job offers from the NSA. I'm guessing Julian Assange, or whomever set it up didn't take that into account -- although he of all people should have known; having grown up in mathematics/engineering academia. Most engineers have a mechanical view of the world more suited to fundamentalism and making things fit into systems. The CIA wrote a paper actually pointing this fact out regarding the mystery as to why so many terrorists were also engineers.

Aaanyway, tl;dr: if you want someone who is in to following trails, to find your imigur account, you name it CE5. This trail was set over a year ago.

What's up with all the Cicada 3301 references ? I see no immediate reasons why the two should be linked together ?

need more to bite...

I saw no bites on the CE5 imigur account, but I've not read all the comments. I wouldn't be surprised.

There is an entire section in the 3301 wiki I posted about false trails. I didn't find this one listed. Also didn't find it in the legit trails, so I'm guessing a new entry needs to be made.

Never heard of that.
