Bitcoin Forum

Is there interest in this community to have a physical agent travel to the alleged location of pirateat40?

I would be willing to drive there and stay for up to a week, performing any legal service on behalf of those who might finance this. This could include knocking on doors of known business associates, friends, and family of Mr. Shavers; communication with local law enforcement; live status updates of my findings on a public and/or private site per the terms of my client(s); etc.

Again, any legal service - I know my rights and their limits. I don't mind being an ass to someone for pay, but I'm not willing to break any kneecaps.

Cost for this would be 100 BTC to travel there and back, plus 75 BTC per day. Each day would include 14 hours of tracked time working proportionally on behalf of my client(s), inclusive of travel time, dining, etc.

I believe I could do this as early as next week, but would need to move quickly to make the necessary arrangements.

Finally, respective of the nature of the events that may have made such a service necessary, I am willing to make myself personally known and accountable to anyone willing to contribute 50 BTC or more. Further, should a single client or a combination of several clients fund my visit in advance for 5 days, I will post a bond payable to them through a recognized insurance company in the state of Arkansas.



At this point, I'm just curious if there is interest. This sort of thing would involve not only substantial disruption of my life, but also a non-zero risk of retribution. 475 BTC for a week of work (minus expenses) seems like a bargain for that, to me - but it would also provide capital for some other projects I would like to be able to get off my plate.

And to think I've been doing this shit for free.

I'm sorry, did I post this in the wrong area?

I didn't invest in it at all; I recognized it for what it was: unsustainable. I'm just curious now if there is interest in the community in this specific service.

I've seen your posts, and there are quite a lot of people investigating him.

Are you physically present in the DFW area?

Ah, im sorry then, thought you are the victim.

Anyway, most of the threads nowadays are about pirate, which is annoying especially that (almost) everybody knew long ago that this wont end well. Thats why i quoted Gavin.

this ^^

Nah, I'm just looking for novel ways to make some coin. This seemed like something that someone might pay for, but that I've not seen anyone offer.

I think it would be pretty awesome to become the "Dog the Bounty Hunter of Bitcoin". I don't have a mullet, though.

for 75 btc a day you can get a mid-high end hooker and and 8ball of coke each night, I like the way you "investigate"  ;)

The hooker might be fun, but it won't get some poor sap's 5k BTC back from pirate. It might make him not care for a while, but it won't recover it.

/me noticed you didn't mention the blow....

Let's get physical, physical.

The 8ball is what hes trying to get off the his plate lol jk sorry for the hijack

What are the rates for locally based, licensed private investigators?

Also, would you be willing to appear in court in the event that criminal or civil proceedings eventuate in respect of pirate's activities?

Can you give a proof of your reputation on this forum/otc ?

If pirate decides to run away and not pay anything at all, I think you'd easily get momentum for your idea..

...and we all know how accurate even OTC can be, for reputation  ::)

I don't know why there's a dogpile against OP. He's offering a service at a price. Buy/Don't Buy. But why the negativity?

"Hay guyz, just wondering if you would like me to go stalk that guy who's most likely connected to organized crime wielding fuck-off money and hurty things."


This is going to end well.

That is what happens here..... "Oh look at this dumbass... let's tell him how big a dumbass he is!"

I rarely comment but I really hate this forum because of how many responses from people like above that have nothing more to do than run around poking everyone in the eye with nothing to add. My threads get a similar amount of noise added to them.

EDIT: Screw it I'm just going to start adding fuel to the fire. I'll comment on every thread I see with some attempt to cut down the OP or dismiss their ideas.

EDIT 2: Forgot to arm myself with image macros and vague statements instead of real claims and rationale

I don't know about the rates of others.

Yes, I would be willing to appear in court and testify, subject to payment of actual expenses incurred.

I have a couple of minor transactions on #bitcoin-otc, which aren't really worth mentioning for this purpose.

I would also point out that prior to a couple of days ago, pirateat40 was quite highly rated. Perhap the WoT is not the only measure one should rely upon :)

From my POV, I'd rather it end with my making some money out of the deal and knowing that I wouldn't be "stalking". I'm a lay person, but like many libertarian-minded people, I'm quite familiar with the extent of privacy laws and how they apply to both the government and to private individuals.

I have the ability and means to execute something like this in a professional way.

Compared to firearms forums and 4chan, this is nothing.

I would hope if it would come down to this (if not already) people would hire a professional....... A real private Investigator with a history of being a KICK ASS P.I (magnum p.i)
