Title: Questions that may or may not be related to each other.
Post by: Phinnaeus Gage on August 24, 2012, 02:42:12 AM
Feel free to reply to any or all.



How does a Bitcoiner from Spain get The Pirate Bay https://twitter.com/tpb to be their very first follower on Twitter when tpb follows only approximately 25% of their followers?

I took a screenshot, and the only way to have it removed from his list is to either ignore tpb or tpb opts to unfollow him. Either way, that would be an interesting development if that did occur, hence taking a screenshot.

I'm still researching, but the same guy is a fan of Tesla.

How does a mundane real estate broker in California team up with a tax company/entity and have their website redirect to http://cs.thomsonreuters.com/web-builder/  ??? BTW, I found this R.E. guy via the Pizza Guy. I take that back. Not the guy who ate the pizza, but the guy who paid for it.

I stopped looking at this point for fear of what I may find next.

It would be a real loss if you found your sanity by accident :P

Now I need help understanding the correlation between these two separate entities. (separate with an HR tag)

Google shows 105 Braunlich to be the physical home of many businesses, most of them professional services.

My guess is that eGenesis uses their lawyers address as their registered office (the phone numbers of the two entities don't match and they don't appear to have common principals).  That's an extremely common thing for businesses to do (sometimes they use the address of their accountants rather than their lawyers).

Andrew Tepper's personal phone number is given for emergency technical support for the game, so he has access to the server and the server is located in the US (even though the domain is registered through a Paris entity).

Nothing particularly flaky is standing out for me about this.
