So, how much further does this really need to go ?

Unfortunately your avoidance tactics will only work for so long. Please do not force my hand in this matter.

I am not going to beg, plead or even ask nicely at this point.

WHERE IS THE PAYMENT I WAS PROMISED ?

Are you sure this is the stand you want to take ?

Would you like to reconsider THAT statement and tally up who has more at stake and who stands to lose more ?

The Admins have seen and CONFIRMED my communication with you, so care to take a step back and see WHO IS THREATENING WHO ?

You obviously have more at stake than I ever would for you to send me messages like this.

My "stand" is the same.  If you wanna play this game, let's play.

Good luck,

Well, you've had enough time to respond, so I will begin laying things out.

Since you have officially STOLEN my Bitcoin Savings & Trust Account as well as balance by closing it, being 4 days ago now, I think it's high time to get this party started.

Tomorrow, I will have the opportunity the meet with a Notary to have an affidavit signed.

McKinney Police Department require this done, as I am out of country and presented to them on behalf of myself, by my own local Police Department before anything can proceed.

As I see that you could care less to communicate in regards to this further, would it be fair to say that I instead make **** the primary contact on the paperwork ?

As I have said previously, you COULD HAVE AVOIDED THIS.
You are the man, you have the power...right ?

I look forward to hearing back from you at your earliest convenience, as to how I should proceed.
Allan

Is this the reply you want to see in public ? or would you perhaps like to add anything else ?

Well, you obviously care, otherwise you wouldn't have thrown a hissy fit, closed down my account and stole my balance in the process ?

DID I SCREW YOU OVER ? or does it seem that you are just not a man of your word ?

Come to think of it (since you probably won't reply to this anyways) why are you being such a coward and taking cheep shots at me, like YOU ARE THE MAN WITH ALL THE

POWER on IRC ? ....... yet you don't seem to be capable of saying SHIT, even if your mouth was full of it, when you come onto the forum.

How about you justify why you are a compulsive liar, from what I can tell...... ?

Am I really causing you THAT much external pressure for you ?

Pay me what is owed and this all goes away, just like it would have IF YOU KEPT YOUR WORD IN THE FIRST PLACE.

Dead Man's Switch ? PM BOTS/Not really me online ? You will get it Monday ? Trendon Shavers is a DBA ?

How much more crap do you honestly expect me to listen to ?

You might want to go ahead and inform me if this is going to actually get taken care of or not.
At this point, you have nothing left to lose, right ?
Allan

First off, let's be clear, in case your memory is a bit FUZZY...as mine is not.

1) YOU banned me from GPUMAX for a week for telling gigavps that his nose was too far up your ass. I told you I wanted to mine, you said not to start shit, I agreed. I still don't like him.

2) YOU wrote a PM to me telling me WHEN I WOULD BE PAID BEFORE YOU CLOSED UP YOUR ENTIRE OPERATION. You have also denied me access to the site. 4 days past and this is nothing more than THEFT.

3) I am not threatening you. I am simply stating what I must do to protect my interests. If seeing you charged in a Criminal Offense happens, by all means - I DID NOT STEAL FROM YOU.

4) I repeatedly asked you NOT to bring it to this, but for some reason, your 29 year old testosterone told you otherwise.

I expect 100% including INTEREST OF THE BITCOINS you are holding hostage of mine, for simply speaking THE TRUTH.

If I am not satisfied, I will see you prosecuted to the FULLEST EXTENT OF THE LAW for more offences than you don't even realize you are committing.

SEND MY FUCKING BITCOINS.

Like I told you when you first threatened to "go after me".

Make my day. Good Luck and enjoy the ride.

-pirate

Whiny bitch.

Wait, so he's been active as late as just a few minutes ago... but yet he hasn't made any public updates on the status of the funds disbursement?

Yup. He is shitting himself because he doesn't have the bitcoins he owes investors.

 ;D ;D ;D

I'm getting my popcorn ready for this.

So tell us bitlane how many bitcoins did you "invest" into Pirate?

Obviously less than everyone who is keeping quiet and shitting themselves.......

Here's the problem:

I am a bit Old School' when it comes to stuff like this.
When you say you are going to do something, you DO IT.

People at times are far too satisfied to eat a mouth full of shit and even ask for seconds, when they are at the mercy of another party.
I am simply NOT one of those people.

Feed me shit once...I might taste it.
Feed me shit again and I will throw it back in your face.

I agree...Pirateat40 is a whiny bitch lol  :D

Good job reading into my statement the opposite of what I said. The facts of the matter are that Pirate has started exactly one thread in relation to the closing the business, and bitlane possibly as many as five or even more.

In other words, fuck you.

Also, could you possibly be "mem" or related to her/him? You have a similar posting style (e.g., "I REPEAT EVERYTHING LOUDLY MANY TIMES BECAUSE THAT MAKES IT COME TRUE! LOL)

rjk did someone hack your account?  Usually you are so cool and logical.

bitlane withdrew funds PRIOR to the shutdown.  He wasn't paid, he ranted about it, Pirate closed his account and promised to pay him on Monday (which is already fail because he should have been paid promptly).  Pirate then shuts down the entire operation and promises to start repayment on Monday.  72 hours go by and he has no only not repaid bitlane (a normal account closure prior to the shutdown) but hasn't repaid anyone a single cent. 

Pirate who is supposedly this great business man threatens his lender saying he will pay him last.  I mean WTF?  Is that honestly acceptable to you?  I don't care what bitlane did.  He lent money and it is ok for pirate to repay him last? He then says he is going to make an example out of him?  Remember the only person who violated the terms of his own contract is Pirate and because bitlane calls him out on that Pirate can just choose to make an example out of him and not pay him back?  Really?  I mean even if there is no ponzi that is kinda stuff that gets someone a scammer tag.

Your response to that entire unprofessional behavior from pirate is to call his lender a whiny bitch?  Really?

Given how out of charecter that is I am going to take a guess that have more invested gambled than you can afford to lose and the reality is you probably have already lost it all.  Bitlane (annoying as has can be at times) isn't the person you should be angry at.  

I mean your mad at him for Pirate not paying him on time?
I think when you calm down you will realize how insane that is.

I get that you got screwed by Pirate, but every knew/should have known that this was a very good possibility. The reason why people are calling you whiny is that we know you haven't been paid back. No one has. We don't need two or three new threads a day on it. Just post in one of your existing threads.

Agreed.  I have him on ignore and I can STILL sense the whining shite eminating from this thread.

Such a douche.

^This is why I said that. I am not invested at all. I am considering taking my leave of this place for a good long while.

Not hacked. I just cannot stand assholes that start 5-10 new threads about the SAME DAMN THING just because something didn't happen.

^ and also I'm not sure it's a great idea to be calling out names in a thread title.  I mean sure there is the connection to GPUMAX and whatever other evidence you think or don't think you have.  But it was already discussed how easy it is to register a business in TX without ID.   Hell, I registered mine in another state online without the need of any form of ID.    It is quite possible that they just picked some random shmoe out of the phone book.   It's also quite possible it really is pirate, but from the evidence I have seen you can't know that.  My point is that is a bit premature (and immature) to be pointing fingers in such a public manner with the amount of money and pissed off people that are invovled with a lack of concrete evidence.

just to clear something up: it maybe easy to register a business without ID, but no bank will open a business account if you don't present them ID for the same name to which business was registered.

Who needs banks when you deal in cash?

Thought you were leaving the forum... :D

See what I mean about you misinterpreting what I say?


I'm sorry you suck so bad at reading comprehension, it must be horrible to live like that.

Ooh I must have struck another nerve lol

Well done, bitlane.  

You really know how to make your payment the lowest priority.

How could you possibly think making so many agressive threads would help?

You know that it was because of bitlane that the default "closing down" occurred in the first place?  ;D

While I doubt that he had that much of an impact individually, the climate of the forum may have done so and he certainly contributes to that.

All he had to do was be a MAN and stick to his word.

This is getting good...... :o

I'll repeat it again : those who invested with pirate are incredibly stupid and deserve to lose all their investments.
The only thing I regret is that the rest of the community suffers from a price crash because of this.

Getting my popcorn ready. This pirate thing is amusing as fuck.

Why don't you bend over and walk backwards into a wall of dicks, k?  And by "k" I mean eat a bowl of dicks.

Stupid indeed, eventually greedy and naive but nobody deserves to get robbed.
In the end it would be nice if the community works together to unstealth suspicious service and investments.

Maybe he hasn't made it very clear, but it is my understanding that this is all cash-in-person type stuff. I recall a description of a transaction that basically consisted of someone bringing him a suitcase full of cash at a meeting point, and then he would go home and send the coins. I can't find it in my IRC logs or anywhere though, so maybe I imagined it, or maybe my search skills suck.

You don't cease to amuse me  :D :D :D

A few hundred

Well if you got some left you can always bet 250 in Matthews thread to cut your losses. Still pretty bad though  :o

Did you think it is a genuine operation or did you just hope to have started early enough?

Since when did matthew have 10,000 btc to toss around with betting? To get involved with that shows extra bad judgment on top of messin with pirate.

To set up a bet of that nature is tacky...

yep bitlane, suck up, it will speed up your payment.

.....LOL
and if I don't suck it up, it will only serve to increase the amount owed and/or at least get Vandroiy paid.

Vandroiy paid by who? You do not mean pirate right? Hm must be an escrow then.. If pirate.

Vandroiy paid by who? You do not mean pirate right? Hm must be an escrow then.. If pirate.

As I mentioned in another thread, there is quite a conundrum.

Pirate is supposedly punishing bitlane by delaying payment and supposedly will pay bitlane last. Now consider how interest is supposed to be running up to the hour/minute/second of the payment. By delaying bitlane's payment by 2 weeks pirate would punish bitlane by paying him extra 14% (or whatever it is) more than those who suck pirates dick and supposedly get paid first. Makes sense?

I see only one logical solution for that conundrum: Nobody will get any of their "capital" or at least "interest" back. If so, the conundrum becomes irrelevant.

Do tell if I am wrong here (try to avoid logical fallacies though, I'll throw em in your face).

How did I do ?  ;D

bitlane,

Your account has been closed.  Your funds will be sent to the withdraw address on file on Monday with the regularly scheduled interest payment.

-pirate

Well done, I suppose. The argument is that bitlane's account is an exception and follow up statements of Pirate refer only to active accounts. But, only if those statements were made after account closure on Friday. Is it the case?



However, in this case, the above is a contract offered by Pirate and apparently accepted by bitlane and the contract which was breached by pirate.

The interest part admittedly is unclear and can be argued both ways. But the emphasized part of the contract was indeed breached.

But bro, he never said which Monday.

Contract is drafted by Pirate, any vagueness will be considered in the most favourable way possible for the other party. Moreover, bitlane in most jurisdiction would be considered as a consumer and pirate as party that has disproportional bargaining powers and again vague clauses would be taken in the most favourable for bitlane way possible.

Next!


Edit: However, a little delay with payment, I would argue, is not good enough reason for scammer tags.

His account wouldn't be closed untill he actually receives the money. However pirate breached the contract to pay him on Monday so for that he is probably liable for a scammer tag. People have gotten the for much less.

First you need to prove who made the contract before you can issue them with legal papers.

Actually, my BTCST.com credentials were invalidated on Friday (4 days ago), so although I am being denied access to my BTCST account, I have NOT been paid out what is owed.

You can call it breach of contract for now, but at what point does it become an all-out THEFT ?

You are right to start an investigation after he never paid on Monday.

LOL
I started my investigation MONTHS ago......

Up to this point, greed may have kept me quiet, but vengeance will keep me fueled for the journey forward.

sometimes cash just means money in whatever form, e.g. bills, checks, wires

supposedly person Z has business registered to a fake name; this person then gets suitcase of bills in exchange of bitcoins, now this person needs to get bitcoins with cash. question how do you do it online on exchanges/otc without proper banking account for that fake business name? how would he turn paper bills into digital form without banking? WU/moneypacks/etc isn't an option moving $100k's a week

Get people to send it to you in return for a % BTC return every [unit of time]? If you can get people to send you BTC then you don't need to convert from other currencies.


And regarding "Your funds will be sent to the withdraw address on file on Monday with the regularly scheduled interest payment." certainly implies Monday 8/20/12, since now that he is winding down there is nothing "regularly scheduled".

Well, you've had enough time to respond, so I will begin laying things out.

Since you have officially STOLEN my Bitcoin Savings & Trust Account as well as balance by closing it, being 4 days ago now, I think it's high time to get this party started.

Tomorrow, I will have the opportunity the meet with a Notary to have an affidavit signed.

McKinney Police Department require this done, as I am out of country and presented to them on behalf of myself, by my own local Police Department before anything can proceed.

As I see that you could care less to communicate in regards to this further, would it be fair to say that I instead make **** the primary contact on the paperwork ?

As I have said previously, you COULD HAVE AVOIDED THIS.
You are the man, you have the power...right ?

I look forward to hearing back from you at your earliest convenience, as to how I should proceed.

Pay me what is owed and this all goes away, just like it would have IF YOU KEPT YOUR WORD IN THE FIRST PLACE.

Dead Man's Switch ? PM BOTS/Not really me online ? You will get it Monday ? Trendon Shavers is a DBA ?

First off, let's be clear, in case your memory is a bit FUZZY...as mine is not.

1) YOU banned me from GPUMAX for a week for telling gigavps that his nose was too far up your ass. I told you I wanted to mine, you said not to start shit, I agreed. I still don't like him.

2) YOU wrote a PM to me telling me WHEN I WOULD BE PAID BEFORE YOU CLOSED UP YOUR ENTIRE OPERATION. You have also denied me access to the site. 4 days past and this is nothing more than THEFT.

3) I am not threatening you. I am simply stating what I must do to protect my interests. If seeing you charged in a Criminal Offense happens, by all means - I DID NOT STEAL FROM YOU.

4) I repeatedly asked you NOT to bring it to this, but for some reason, your 29 year old testosterone told you otherwise.

I expect 100% including INTEREST OF THE BITCOINS you are holding hostage of mine, for simply speaking THE TRUTH.

If I am not satisfied, I will see you prosecuted to the FULLEST EXTENT OF THE LAW for more offences than you don't even realize you are committing.

SEND MY FUCKING BITCOINS.

Like I told you when you first threatened to "go after me".

Make my day. Good Luck and enjoy the ride.

The only thing I am afraid of at this point is chasing him away for good and being 'that guy' that caused everyone else to get fucked over, if I truly CAN secure a Criminal investigation once the complaint is filed and the paperwork is done.

Right now, he has 1 lunatic to worry about: ME.

If I hurt anyone else throughout this, do I really want the wrath of the investors on me ?

Yes, he feels safe with only me looking into things now, but do I want 500 people doing the same to me ?

You really think you're  going to be alone in some crusade, don't you? You think people better connected than you would let him get away with doing something illegal?  ::)

No, but if my 'tantrums' end up getting the best of me and he splits..... the target pretty much gets transferred to my back immediately and NO JOKE this time.

Why not just quietly investigate him, contact proper authorities (now) and alert them of potential illegal activity, hire a private detective, but do it quietly as to not spoke the person who could be paying you back your money? Furthermore, why are you trying to do this alone? Do you know how many Bitcoiners and bitcoin businesses have made lawsuits against people in Bitcoin? It's more than 2. Why aren't you talking to them instead of talking on a thread to yourself about how angry you are that nothing has happened to you yet?

It seems that NOW Trendon is trying to throw people OFF his scent and claim that 'Trendon Shavers' is a DBA ? (Doing Business As).

Been making threads left and right and now you are scared you might get heat from other Pirateat40 investors? If Pirateat40 doesn't pay it's completely on him, it's his debt.

Wow you people are really impatient. He told you it's gonna take a week to make all payments. Now who is the whiny bitch?

Seems to be your usual tactic though, troll a thread and accuse everyone of being a sock puppet when they have no need for them (unlike pirate, bfl, inaba, etc).

Monday February 29, 2013.

No, but if my 'tantrums' end up getting the best of me and he splits..... the target pretty much gets transferred to my back immediately and NO JOKE this time.

He planned it as a Ponzi from the beginning.  The decision was made a long time ago, he's only having fun with you. 

He planned it as a Ponzi from the beginning.  The decision was made a long time ago, he's only having fun with you.  BTW his bet with nanotube defines a default as 14 days late on payout.  The longest he can go without paying is September 3rd.

Late last week and early this week, it sure seemed like a ponzi, didn't it?  But the farther out we go, the more I think that if he were going to just bail with the coins, he would have done it a long time ago.

How sure are you he's a ponzi?

party is over after 44 weeks with 500k btc and 7% interest per week:

1. week 500,000  35,000 interest
...
45. week 9,814,229.794 btc

+1

This is my logic as well...I'm sure he's such a great investor that he can afford to buy some twice in a market with no sellers.
Edit: Sarcasm

If you really think that 500k BTC was invested in the first week...Then there's a hole in your logic.

How many times does it need to be said that not all Pirate customers reinvest the interest?

A man named Trendon Shavers exists and claims to be Pirateat40. This much is true beyond a reasonable doubt. 30 min. on google, facebook, and this forum will convince you.

Pirate himself said in IRC that Trendon Shavers was DBA.

Anyway a name and social networks doesn't mean anything.

The only way it would be proof of anything is if someone had the ability to run his ID though NCIC or social + ID through a credit check. Even then that stuff can be faked but much more difficult.

You mean "A man that uses the name Trendon Shavers on the Internet exists and claims to be Pirateat40."

Court records exist for his marriage, his brother's marriage, and a warrant for his arrest.

Yes, but is it the same guy?

Smaller accounts is apparently getting paid already according to Pirate himself on IRC. Proof posted by another guy on IRC:

Anyway, let me remind you all that the stalling tactics were predictable and have been predicted. Another prediction, by the way, is that he may pay out a few small accounts to stall for even longer.

How sure are you he's a ponzi?

So basically we're still waiting because bitlane won't leave pirate alone long enough to get anything done?

As predicted:


If he represented a serious business, he would, of course, pay his biggest, best customers first. But then he would not shut down a smoothly running business in the first place.

it bothers me that someone would use an uncle scrooge avatar and in anyway support pirate and his business practices/model.

the real uncle scrooge would laugh at the thought of parting with his money in such a haphazardly way.

Could you elaborate on what bitlane could possibly do to delay payment?

Lovely treatment to a creditor.

Isn't this, together with bitlane's PMs, grounds for a scammer tag? What a cunt.

Easily. Not that it will matter though.

The bitlane PMs alone should be sufficient. Mods? Theymos?

Wouldn't someone have to break a contract and have no intention to pay to be considered a scammer? Has there been a contract broken? Is there implied intention to pay?

Yes. I know you have a lax understanding of what a deadline is, but Pirate failed to repay bitlane on time and then again on his second self-given deadline. That's a broken contract already, regardless of possible future mitigation.

Fair enough. I suppose he does deserve a scammer tag at least until he pays.

Could we maybe instead have "naive and greedy" tag for all the pirate's "investors". This way all the new (and old) scammers could concetrate on working those marks and leave the rest of this forum alone maybe? Just a thought...  ;)

Yup... I'm so greedy I paid out my pass through customers from my personal funds even though my terms say I only owed them 25% until pirate paid up.  All together, I paid out 189% of what was paid in to me.  But sure throw us all together and make blanket statements.

So basically we're still waiting because bitlane won't leave pirate alone long enough to get anything done?

This is what the purpose of the bet is, to allow them the right to make blanket accusations. If they're right, they win big. If they're wrong, they'll make less blanket accusations in the future cause I got their rent moneyz herp derp

Yes. I know you have a lax understanding of what a deadline is, but Pirate failed to repay bitlane on time and then again on his second self-given deadline. That's a broken contract already, regardless of possible future mitigation.

Then he proceeded to add insult to injury with his messages.

Just me spreading FUD but: Im going to call it, at least one of the admins are involved with pirate and want to give him as much time as possible to wind up his scam.

...cause I got their rent moneyz herp derp

Dear Pirate,

Can you please at least pay Bitlane his coins so he'd quit making terrible threads? 

Sincerely,
Everybody

Bitlame's threads are terrible.  Terribly entertaining that is.  I love reading his impotent ALLCAPS laced rants of Internet Tough Guy hilarity.

Smoothie is right, it's time to get the popcorn ready for our latest Bitcoin misadventure.

Bitlame must have broken Rule #1 of investing and sent pirate more than he can afford to lose.  Much more, judging by how high the pitch of his screeching and how loud his blustering baffoonery have become.

Hell, I'll pay pirate BTC100 to not ever give Bitlame one satoshi just to keep watching the meltdown go totally China Syndrome.   :D

Bitlane is the hero bitcointalk.org deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll hunt him. Because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. A dark knight.

or possibly just an idiot. or maybe even a sockpuppet for pirate to drive the prices up or down.

But then I'd owe almost 5,000BTC so I'd have to offer him more. lol

Maybe we can convince (ie bribe) nanotube to create an exception to The Bet, just for Bitlame.   :D

The stalling tactic makes only sense if you're still accepting deposit and "operating" the ponzi.

Pirate said he was closing and not accepting new deposit. Now tell why the fuck would he stay around and pretend to be working at paying us back?

it bothers me that someone would use an uncle scrooge avatar and in anyway support pirate and his business practices/model.

Pirate is a first Rate douche..

So are all his shills...

Pirate has a legitimate business. Wanna bet?

it would be very good for bitcoin if scammers and fraudsters would be caught and punished.

Time for serious providers of vengeance on the free black market.

anyone who trusted pirate with their coins, is certainly not capable of doing the DD necessary to anonymously contract such services. Without getting scammed, *again*.

There'll sure be some serious laugh coming.

So arrogant. So full of assumptions.

No wonder someone took a 10 000 btc bet against guys like you.

There'll sure be some serious laugh coming.

Still jealous for not having been contacted by Pirate in Vegas? That's ... well...

I bet most of the laughter has already taken place. Maybe left one more week of laughs. Then it will just get quieter.

*crickets.wav*

I'll take that bet!  I'm very optimistic that the best laughs are still to come, especially when The Bets are decided.

He who laughs last, laughs best.  Besides, when has Bitcoin ever failed to provide fresh drama and new sources of lulzy hilarity?

*bwahahahaha.wav*

BTW, MY REAL NAME IS CHEN>

Wonder who Matthew N. Wright is then. I have a number of hypotheses about why you made these crazy bets, half of them indicating that you would never pay.

I'll take that bet!  I'm very optimistic that the best laughs are still to come, especially when The Bets are decided.

+1

A distinct lack of character and maturity.  The kind of disgusting display you would expect from a bunch of drunken frat boys. 
Doesn't reflect too well on the Bitcoin community imo... 

I think there may be a generation gap kinda thing here. I respect Matthew's move. I think he is wrong and perhaps not too good with math, but I respect that he had a belief and is putting his money where his mouth is.

It's unclear if pirate is named in the thread title and unclear if he has shafted anybody...but midland Texas has something to say about trendon shavers use of checks:


SHAVERS, TRENDON   101078   09/21/1982   THEFT O/20 U/500 BY CHECK

Obviously less than everyone who is keeping quiet and shitting themselves.......

Here's the problem:

I am a bit Old School' when it comes to stuff like this.
When you say you are going to do something, you DO IT.

People at times are far too satisfied to eat a mouth full of shit and even ask for seconds, when they are at the mercy of another party.
I am simply NOT one of those people.

Feed me shit once...I might taste it.
Feed me shit again and I will throw it back in your face.

Woah that dudes passing bad cheques..... And he's a little older than I am....Looks about right if he's the dude in the pic and looks about 30 :)

So,  you too went the "shitting themselves" way?

Nope. Not me.

Ask yourself something...... What is more dangerous than a man that has nothing to lose ?

Holy shit do you cross post like a fudster.  Why does every thread need a link to it?  If its really that important, people will find it regardless.

The fuck do you care?

This asshole is a thief and I am helping people see it, dumbass.

Yeah but facts are FUD to team ponzi.  I think a lot of people are going to be implicated in his scheme personally.  There is a shit storm that is about to blow here.

I predict anyone in that photo in vegas with pirate will have some explaining to do if it blows.

going to be quite a few deleted posts soon if we do not capture them now... people saying such and such if they knew something
others do not.

How does meeting someone in person make them responsible for their business?

Pirate has a legitimate business. Wanna bet?

The thing I'm the most curious about, is all those peeps who said they had figured out what Pirate was doing..  He's closing up and appears to be unable to pay.  Why aren't they explaining what it was that pirate was doing since they already had figured it out????

So why didn't he pay me out as he informed me he would ?

Because I hurt his feelings by saying his communication is/was/and has been up to this point, SHIT ?

Ya, he sure has a great future ahead of him. Service is definitely his strong suit, wouldn't you say ?

The fuck do you care?

This asshole is a thief and I am helping people see it, dumbass.

New to this. Will be putting 20-25% of my initial BTCs into one of the best PPTs as my high risk portion.

Aah, so you didn't quite understand what 'high risk' means in bitcoinland?
 ???

Yes it's him, I even remember he acknowledged that once.

Already scamming people at this time. What more red flags did we need? :D

When I was young, I, too, wrote bad checks, some of which were by accident, and most of which I resolved.

If he was 18 back then, then he's only 4 years younger than me. When I was young, I, too, wrote bad checks, some of which were by accident, and most of which I resolved.

Just a little full disclosure post.

FYI: I sold ALL of my Pirate holdings out when he lowered rates. …
