Bitcoin Forum

I really love your name .. MR.

We need new safe form run by people not affiliated with organizations trying to destroy personal freedoms.

It looks like he might be a Staff member of a state Senator. Maybe he is trying to get his local government to be more pro-bitcoin.

theymos dox can be found in the blockchain btw.

anytime someone posts them on bitcointalk they get banned. suspicious behaviour from a so-called transparent admin.

If i agree the theymos is the government agent ., then actually what will be the problem ?

First and foremost, how come do you even come up with a complete conclusion that theymos is an agent of the government?

So, what if he is?

 Can't government agents use Bitcoin too? Are you doing something illegal? Government Agents are people too... (see what I did there?)

So government agents are criminals too... Like the one on DPR's case that stole the bitcoin.

Point being, don't trust the title, trust the person.

that would mean a government agent has the ability to read or modify any bitcointalk data. They could be donig very bad things with this, especially since government hate things like bitcoin which give u back the personal freedoms they try to take from u. maybe you post a bitcoin address here to receive 10,000BTC for pizza and theymos just changes it and steals money to illegal fund war in Iraq.

LMAO why would anyone care?

everyone is making money, or btc from this forum.....

he is working for state legislatures, proof is in link above u can check the blockchain for theymos real identity u see it matches link above.

I don't think agent is the most appropriate term here. I would think a more appropriate word to use would be employee, and one that is not acting in their official capacity when they made forum related decisions.

Theymos doesn't appear to receive any meaningful amounts of money from his work on the forum so he obviously needs a job in order to pay his bills.

He's also a professor:


and a football player:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Marquardt

Not sure where he gets the time to run this forum...

those are not theymos. theymos lives in wisconsin and is college student, full dox in blockchain. i promise you this is him, i research this many times because my eyes do not bleve it.

haha just like the gestapo were 'just doing there job'. u really think there isn't more to this?

Can you show us the full dox? Perhaps a link to where it is?

Well, he is a government agent then... LOL

No, I think theymos is trying to pay his bills, just like everyone else that isn't on welfare.

He works for the clerk of the State Senate. The job description of the person he works for is as follows:
http://legis.wisconsin.gov/senate/scc/scc_Staff.htm
Plus it is pretty well known that theymos does have political views

Full dox would probably help us see who he is, but how can we be sure if the dox pertains to theymos himself? Also, why would we care in the first place? Altering information within the forum could be noticed by the users themselves, if that is your problem.

This is really hilarious .
Consider even if he works for govt. , what is he trying to do ?
Stealing bitcoins? Running a good forum?
Oh let me correct that best forum
And yeah making 1 million forum ?
Govt. sure has hidden ways now :P

theymos will always be a puppet of the state for me, he has gone to the dark side. We all know bitcointalk is most important site in bitcoin community, it would be very advantageous for state to be able to exert some control over it and now theymos and government are BFF. What would happen if theymos' boss(es) ask him to insert brower exploits into bitcointalk to rape all important peoples in bitcoin computers with spytools. theymos might do it out of fear of losing his job because 'he is just trying to pay his bills'.

Well if he really was what you say he is, yeah i guess he could be doing that but i still didnt see any conclusive proof of him being what you claim him to be

Here is PM theymos once send me:


open ur eyes ppl, theymos not to be trusted.

Would be a pretty long run honeypot, even if Theymos wasn't behind it, Satoshi and Sirius made the forum, who is to say Satoshi didn't set up a honeypot? Do not use this forum in any way that would negatively effect you if Bitcointalk was a honeypot. I don't think "The Government" cares if you want to discuss Bitcoin. Think twice about doing something that could get you in trouble though.

you can please google and research yourself. It is well known that theymos' name is machael marquardt and he lives in wisconsin. he work this job, yes it isn't "spy" job, but is highly suspicious.

There are other jobs available where theymos lives. If that was a possibility then he probably would not have ever taken the job in the first place.

Most people on here know the importance of using GPG when discussing sensitive information, they mostly know how to detect changes to javascript. Plus the forum allows connections from tor exit nodes and works just fine without javascript enabled so the number of exploits he could use is rather small.

I think you are being overly paranoid

im not saying it was honeypot from the start, maybe idk, but i am saying overtime theymos has turned against the community, it is obvious and now that i know he works fro government that says it all as bitcointalk is #1 bitcoin target for government and of course government has interest in killing bitcoin.

translation: theymos has fully complied with requests for information from government in the past. i am an innocent person, i commited no crime, government has no warrants for me or anything, yet my privacy was violated due to this, the government collected private information from innocent peoples who were not under investigation like me and it was with the help of theymos that they did it. how many other times has thing like this happen? how many times in future?

Actually, that is really nice of him. I'm surprise there wasn't a gag on the subpoena.

The person/people you were communicating with are/were under investigation. Theymos was served with a legal order demanding the information that would most likely hold up in most courts around the world.

It should be noted that there are rumors that your account was hacked and if this is the case then you very much would be committing a crime

gag order on subpoena is not legally binding. only NSL can have legally binding gags.

Nothing is certain. We still have no clue about identity of Satoshi but seeing how everything is connected in the bitcoin world. Government conspiracy is not out of the question here.
But what knowing this information change for normal bitcoin users? Probably nothing. So move on, nothing to see here.

There are plenty of big companies that have been hacked in the past, doesnt matter their budget or how big they are, that doesnt prove anything. As why do they "promote" ponzies wich they not, it was already mentioned plenty of times that is better to have them all in 1 place, i dont agree with it but its what it is. The other points you are using are just theories and conspiracies with no real evidence behind them

Bitcointalk is not constantly going offline. The last time Bitcointalk went down was over a year ago.

Many companies do not have their websites going offline for days at a time because a) they have their own servers and b) they have teams of people fixing the problem instead of only one guy.

The section dedicated to ponzis and investment games is there to protect people. If these scams were not moved into the section where the top of each thread has a massive warning about gambling and potential loss, then many people would be scammed and Bitcoin would be further brought down by the number of scams. Having these in their own subsection hidden inside the gambling section prevents people from being scammed and keeps all of the ponzis in one place.

lawl, it goes offline all the time. i am getting errors right now. probably a ddos.

Another useless thread, this forum is more better and awesome (every day) and the soc. engir. attack was really impressive.

maybe he was and all planned for him to 'dissapear' to make things more mysteriousssss and instead another agent took things over.

How is it useless?all you need to know is in OP, theymos works for state legislatures.

No, I'm not saying that. But, with the subforums dedicated to gambling, ponzis, and warez, the newbies and people who don't know what they are doing are less likely to be drawn into scams since it is made abundantly clear that things in these forums could be scams and that you could lose your money. If these weren't there, then threads promoting scams would be everywhere and it would be difficult to know what a scam is, what could be a scam, or what is legit.

It got a little off-topic.

What is the problem if he is working for the gov. or he is not working for them ? Everyone is free do use or not use this forum, and no one is forcing you to post here ;).

Have a great day.



Exactly....

I can give you an example, the psn network that was hacked a few years ago, for a LONG time actually affecting tens of millions of people. See, even the biggest companies get hacked, its what it is. Having a section to gather all ponzies on it is not promoting ponzies, search the definition of promoting first.

This is not him. I have seen his mugshot. For one, he is much younger.

theymos was arrested? What for?

I don't remember. If you really wanted to know, criminal records are public domain. Shouldn't be too hard to find out if you really care. IMO the OP is mistaken, and he is referencing another M. Marquardt. As my posting history indicates I am not the biggest Theymos fan either, so I have no reason to cover for him. His documents are out there if you bother to look. I will not be providing them though, so don't ask.

Target, HomeDepot, ChickFileta, Anthem, Blue Cross, Sony, USPS, Staples, KMart, Dairy Queen, SuperValu, Jimmy John's, JP Morgan, PFChangs, Epsilon, Zappos, Adobe Systems, Yahoo, Marriot, Hilton, etc. Those are what come up for large businesses hacked in 2014. Facebook was hacked in 2013, with 1.016 Billion dollars in security spendings, and an additional 39.9 million per year in maintenance costs.
 
Bitcointalk doesn't promote ponzis, they just aren't against the rules. People complained about them being mixed in with other gambling games, so they were given their own section. Keep in mind, dice sites are just as illegal in the US as ponzi schemes. Its up to the operators to block the IPs of users from countries where their services are illegal.

Wait.. no one is forcing you to put your bitcoin in the ponzi schemes.... this is the thing that a lot of users don't understand. He created that second trash section (yes it is only a trash...) to collect all the useless thread and I suggest always the users "don't take part to those ponzi schemes".

The Michael MArquardt on that page is theymos, without any doubt. Same name, same age same city. I fucking hate this shit, re you fuckers really this blind that you cannot research for yourself and see the 100% unadulterated truth.

How come you don't have a name anyway :o
Anyway , Theymos name is public on different forums and websites . So If he was really an agent for the governement that would be revealed long time ago when he took over the forum and not till now . even if he is , so what ? It dosen't matter . All we care about is that Bitcoin is annonymus and they can't control that so we are cool .

I'm 100% certain Theymos is in his 20s. He isn't in the senate or congress. Could he be some other sort of government official, yeah I don't know for sure that he isn't. But I do know for certain that he isn't old enough to be a Wisconsin representative. A family member perhaps? I've seen his picture, its floating around in the original Theymos dox thread somewhere in Meta. He isn't the person others have posted pictures of.

I think theymos is ~26 years old (most probable) under the 30s... but it is only a supposition.

PS: However, why the OP doesn't 'have' a nickname but a space http://techforum.it/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/asd.gif?

I have done my research, long ago. That is how I know you are mistaken.

Now you are just talking trash, what is the proof and evidence for all your claims? Just because those websites that got hacked didnt get hacked many times that still doesnt mean anything, this forum hasnt been hacked so many times either.

The forum is not necessarily hosted in the US for one (not sure where it is). Second US law has provisions protecting service providers for the illegal activities of their users as long as they are not directly involved in the activities of course, beyond being a service provider like hosting a forum. Otherwise, how could any international corporation operate ever? There will always be conflicts of national law between an individuals country of residence and the country they operate within. Jurisdiction is a very important legal foundation of criminal law.

Second, if 2 people on Pluto want to plan a ponzi on the forum, and ponzis are legal on Pluto, then it really doesn't matter what the law is anywhere else, because as residents of Pluto, no US laws were violated, meaning there is no legal liability. There may be some newer exceptions to this as the UN and Interpol wrestle jurisdiction away from national governments and begin imposing the laws of every other nation upon individuals in their own home countries.

Hello Mr. Anonymous;
I think theymos should take care of you because you're probably the guy who compromised servers.
According to google cache the account you use belongs to "Mybitcointrade.com" and it was not active since 2012. to be precise; Last Active:   September 25, 2012, 10:17:21 AM (according to google cache: 21 Apr 2015 01:05:26 GMT)
https://www.google.com/search?q=cache:https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=25340

Ps: check the avatar ;)

hey mybitcointrade.com aka mr.anonymous,

by the way, you/they have my bitcoin and i want them back !

:o Good detective job mate .
But probably Theymos knew already who did that . like the hack of 2013 he knew who was it but he decided to not do anything about it and simply forgive the hacker .

I don't see how Bitcointalk fits your red bolded text either. It has been hacked two times in five years to my knowledge.

About the bolded above, there is a sliding scale of legal involvement. Fully involved, partially involved, and minimally involved. Fully involved would be a site designed to cater for such behavior that is in question. If I make an online drug market, my role is fully involved in an action illegal in my jurisdiction. Partially involved would be a site that doesn't condone actions done, but has a certain expected level of care owed to those involved. For example, if you were scammed in the marketplace section and the forums was paid to provide a safe marketplace, we wouldn't be legally responsible for the scammer, but we would be obligated to make the situation right. Bitcointalk is minimally involved in everything you have mentioned. Our primary motivation is Bitcoin discussion, and we make no statements explicit or implied that we are here to protect users from anything. Just the opposite, it is common knowledge that people are on their own, and the only thing moderators or administrators of the site are expected to do, is to reduce spam. We moderate discussion that is disruptive, not necessarily illegal. There are plenty of warnings stating that viewed content is the individual's responsibility.

Sorry but your "understanding" of law leaves something to be desired. You are mistaken.

Perhaps,

 The forum is a subversive Political Action Committee for a party to fund its candidates and the hacks are the result of 'Opposition Research' trying to get some dirt...

Nope. Your scenario would mean actual illegal images were hosted or displayed on the forum, which would remove the question of jurisdiction.  Furthermore child pornography is illegal in most of the world, not just the US. If there is a legitimate use for the section ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, then it is legal by default. If staff are notified of any activity that is criminal in any of the participating users jurisdictions, they do take efforts to stop or remove the offending posts, satisfying the requirement of due dilligence. Furthermore as it exists the ponzis are just discussed and coordinated on the forum without the direct assistance of BCT, the actual ponzis operate in the individual's home country, not on the BCT host. If BCT actually hosted the ponzis you might have a point, but your example fails when examined closely.

This hack and the last was in October of 2013 to my knowledge. I think there was one other hack back in 2010ish, but I don't recall the details of that. That isn't really the point, my point was that hacks happen, Bitcointalk doesn't have that bad of a track record, even big companies have been hacked repeatedly. What would you like seen done? There is new forum software in production, which should help. This attack wasn't a forum vulnerability, it was an attack on the hosting company.

Discussion sections don't increase the forum's legal involvement. We do not collect any money from ponzi operators, we do not endorse any ponzis, we do not run a ponzi ourself, we warn users that they could be scams, we warn users to check their local jurisdictions before participating. Google ponzi schemes, and you will find names and information about active ponzi schemes. Google isn't responsible if you decide to put your money in them. Discuss this with a lawyer if you wish, you don't understand what constitutes involvement beyond what you are rationalizing. That isn't how the law defines it.

I'm not sure who said the ponzi section was created to protect noobs, as I said, people didn't want ponzis grouped together with other gambling, so a new section was added to reduce clutter.  Frankly, the ponzi section is one of the least controversial sections. As I said, Gambling online in general is illegal in the US.

We are starting to see hacked accounts from the leak appear and begin to troll these forums. Theymos needs to force a password reset on all unchanged passwords ASAP.

Who is 'we'? And how do you know?

What will that do? it'll only make it slightly easier for the hacker, he won't have to go through as many mouse clicks to reset a password after he logs in.

GTFO if you dont like the forum

this should be done on all accounts even before forum was started again earlier today. now really recommend to all closely check section where are account trades.

if theymos is some agent? honestly, I don't give a flying fuck. I'm enjoying this forum, usually thinking before post/PM and learned lot of stuff here..

We have been discussing this. - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1068422.0

We are starting to find long inactive accounts come back online and troll this forum in a different voice than the original user.

This. (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=25340)
That. (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=42942)

It is impossible to know for sure which ones are and aren't as  some of these inactive users may be coming back because they are prompted to change their password by Theymos by the email that was sent and than they came back and posted a bit.


No, Theymos needs to change all passwords and force users to reset passwords through the email account on file. The hacker will only be able to exploit accounts that have used the same passwords or security questions between bitcointalk and their email if this is done.

This has already been suggested to Theymos in Twitter 2 days ago ...
https://twitter.com/bitcointalk/status/602017247788343296

Why this isn't being done is shocking to say the least. Perhaps Theymos is trying to gather a bit of information about the hacker by delaying this security measure.... lets hope so.

mt. gox support just came to visit us after 3 years without single post?:) coincidence for sure!

Precisely, odds are the attacker will log on and go directly to change the passwords of compromised accounts. I however am more curious to see if my account gets hacked (doubtful) but it would interest me considering the strength of the hash.

You should change your password. I'm guessing a lot of people have the dump by now. Password crackers are really smart, almost any password a human can think of can be cracked within a few hours with under $10,000 worth of GPU's.

Well he, like me, probably received an email from the forum about a hack. And logged on to see what is happening. Since, today is a holiday, I'm wasting time chilling out on the forum poking my nose into threads here and there...

The difference is the files themselves are contraband, making it a crime within the US for them to exist there. Discussing and coordinating ponzis within a country that it is legal IS NOT A CRIME, even if the server is hosted in the US. One simple question for you. If you really believe the forum is itself operating illegally, why hasn't it been shut down? Do you think no one has tried to report the forum before to authorities or regulatory agencies? You are very naive.

One more time, for reference: https://ilt.eff.org/index.php/Copyright:_Digital_Millennium_Copyright_Act#DMCA.E2.80.99s_Safe_Harbors_for_Online_Service_Providers

^ mostly refers to civil liability

http://scholarship.law.berkeley.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1838&context=btlj

^ Applies to criminal liability

what are they going to get apart from your email address?

So you have bought $10,000 worth of GPU to dedicate to cracking my pw hash (which is very long and hard) to gain access to my bitcointalk.org account which is the only place that hash is used?  We need to talk about risk rewards. Time would be better spent mining with those GPU's.

where is the info in the blockchain so i can look at it,

Never looked for that one, but the Strings command can find it for you. Actually the Strings command can find a lot of weird, funny, and whimsical stuff in the block chain.

I am disappointed in theymos. I have stepped away from the forum, but I believe it is time to find a more competent administrator.

satoshi

Yes, see what is happening? Satoshi's password obviously wasn't changed when his email was compromised or it was changed and not given enough entropy.

All passwords should immediately be changed by Theymos to 128bit or higher entropy and all users should be forced to reset through their email on file.

WTF ... looks like a blend of Satoshi's account and Tradefortesses old account ... check out his trust -
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=67058

Real Satoshi - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3
Fake Satoshi - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=67058

I like ur name.

You are such a fucking idiot, it's so entertaining how ridiculously stupid some people on the internet are. That there is Tradefortress using a sneaky trick to change his name to satoshis'. I should be able to do that too, watch

double satoshi! WHAT IS GOING ON??!!

Alright TF, real funny. I am not sure if your account is hacked, or if you were behind the hack as someone has advised me (without evidence), however I think it is pretty bad taste to pretend to be satoshi like this.

That is not satoshi. It is TF who has the ability to change his display name and his custom title. Satoshi does not have negative trust nor does it have negative trust. Satoshi's account is locked and probably banned in order to prevent anyone malicious from accessing it

It's in homage, not disrespect. Drama is what powers Bitcoin.

I noticed that 10 seconds after my post and updated. Looks like I was right about which accounts have been hijacked thus far.

i believe the orig satoshi account is here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3)

This is hilarious, I've been saying since last year that Theymos has to be a fed.  Haha, I hope he doesn't get fired over this.

You shouldn't have shadow banned me on Reddit Theymos.  See what happens?  lol

Watching this place burn is kind of sweet.

Some of you really have an unhealthy obsession with theymos and this forum.

Another hacked / modified account... was the DB even checked?

OP: That's not me.


Cøbra's account was not hacked/modified. As far as I can tell, there were no modifications to the database.

Thank you for replying but color me suspicious.

i said that in another post theymos, the smf is nice but has a lot of loopholes, they practically added new ranks and new modification they do not need to do that only in the database, they can just use the admin credentials and give a lot of accounts new names or new ranks and it will go through without any problem.

i ran an smf few months ago i know the stuffs about it. and its very easy to do.

the only thing you can do is find the modified accounts one by one or give incentives to people to make them look for them and report that to you so that you can make the necessary arrangements to default it.

what they also could have done is change the date of last log in, doesnt need to have the database for that. simple modification in the clock will do.

Uh, you are the one that began this, so I don't know where you get off accusing me of being off topic when you began this line of discussion. I am sure you know Better than Berkeley. Anyone else with a functional brain stem got the point, just please refrain from pretending like you know things, it confuses people who actually want to educate themselves. Also, way to avoid my question btw :)

Clearly you are ignorant and willfully wish to remain so in order to defend your failure of an argument. You have now had this explained to you by a forum member of 4 years and a moderator, but clearly you know best. In a battle of wits, I refuse to fight an unarmed man... so have fun arguing with yourself.

We should down grade to the Intranet then.

Again, pretty sure Theymos isn't a government agent. If he is, its not at the scary level that sets up honeypots. He very well could be a city comptroller or something like that, I just don't know, but positions in the US Federal government usually require someone to be older than Theymos is. I actually don't disagree with some of the meaning behind what you are saying, although I'm 99.9% sure Bitcointalk isn't a deliberate honeypot setup by Theymos, it very well could be used as such by a 3rd party if not Theymos himself.


Yep. While I'd advise not doing anything illegal in the first place, if you are going to, posting evidence about it online is probably the worst thing you can do. Treat every site as if its a honeypot, and you will be fine. Encrypt your sensitive pms, don't say stupid things that could come back to haunt you, etc.

All good advice but you have idiots filming their crimes and posting them on YouTube. So, it'll fall on deaf ears and/or blind eyes.

I've found that most posters here fail to even think. DeathAndTaxes and GM are an exception to the rule tho...

My eyes are bleeding when I read your atrocious writing. Learn to spell first Mr.Retarded

Who cares, we do not do anything illegal.
                                                   

tl;dr -- theymos released PMs related to BFL and that's why, OP created this thread.


Not you again. I am tired of with your trolling. Weren't you already banned for a few times for trolling? -x_x-

Did you read OP? Or are you just talking randomly. He never said WE are doing illegal things, he said theymos is doing bad thinga since he "is a government agent" i dont agree with it but thats what op point is. Incredibly enough theymos didnt delete this post and it doesnt seem he will wich really makes him look innocent to me.

Eh, he can't do anything regarding that matter because the authorities mandated him to do so. The BFL is involved in an activity involving a ton of money, and the feds love chasing those people who made the atrocities.

More likely... he has been caught up / implicated in a government investigation and is required under an agreement for no jail time to turn everything over without subpoena to some three letter agency when asked. Not that I think that but it is much more plausible. Something akin to the Silkroad where agents assumed identities is also more probable than this would be some sort of gov't honey pot and he is some sort of agent.

Facts:

I think there is more than one man named Michael Marquardt in the United States.

If you say something is in the blockchain and don't show where I don't believe you.

There is quite a difference if an individual is an employee of a state representative (a state employee) , a federal agent or a federal informant. 

---------

What I really want to know is this

How was the op of this forum able to change their name from MR anonymous vip , to satoshi to TradeFortress ?? 

Does being a donator to the forum allow you to change your user name ?

If not how was this person able to change their name.


Also another poster in this thread changed their name from what it is now to Satoshi.

I posted my second post pointing to the true satoshi.

Then shortly after they change it back and i think other people on the thread modified thier posts also but i cannot be sure on that.

Yes, you guessed it right. If you are a donator - as a result you will gain an ability to change your nickname. Normal users can not change their names.
The only problem here is I didn't know that you can change it to be exactly the same as someone else's name. As you could see there were two account named 'satoshi' at some point.
I am not sure how it is possible. Maybe he used some blank spaces in this name, I am not sure. But you can tell by forum ID when you check profile: real Satoshi ID is just user no3 and this fake is some higher number.

He changed 'display' name not username.

The username and display name are different but I don't know how they changed it. I just tried to change mine to satoshi and satoshi ' and it said the username is reserved.

they were probably either using a special characters or used invisible characters at the end of their name or theymos made adjustments so VIPs cannot change their username to something similar to satoshi

Edit: it was most likely that one of the characters was special. TF was using "satoshi" and a Google search with that term only comes back with a bunch of forum posts from TF, while a Google search of me manually typing "satoshi" comes back with more results.

It all pertained to the Wood Law class action suit against BFL.

Interesting list of user names, eh? I say that that nibbknot dude, whomever he is  ::), is the one that has the most to offer up for the investigation.

I knew it! Theymos lied via Twitter that bitcointalk was offline: https://twitter.com/bitcointalk

oh brother. ::)
News flash, Your life is not interesting enough to be spied on.

:facepalm:

We are all involved in a technology which, being decentralised, can offer a future free of government interference.

In the meantime, however, ANY centralised service you use on the internet could expose your personal information to nefarious types, either black-hat hackers or government agents.

How about you just behave yourself as far as you are able in the meantime and assume that anything you do online is being watched.

Because, otherwise, you are declaring the sky to be falling here at BCT, while ignoring the fact that every other facet of the WWW is equally prone to exposing your personal data.

The matriarch in theymos's household is not named Jeannie.

Its not like could, it is. Everyone knows it, i guess? Of course government has access to certain personal data when needed, why wouldnt they? If you didnt do anything wrong why would you care? Its not like they are watching every single person all the time, it seems that thats what some people think...

Reminds me of someone else..

I don't know how anyone would get that idea...

Is this thread brought to us by Homero Garza to try to drive people to his new sham forum?

"The Regulars are coming out." - Paul Revere.

Garza's latest project already crashed and burned: http://bitcoinist.net/press-release-btc-com/

Homero stopped payments on BTC.com and lost it today after making a sizable down payment and $25,000/month payments for 8 months. It had sat idle for 7 months until a couple weeks ago when he conned Bitcoinist into "leasing" it from him (it is likely they were not actually paying anything, just offering pimp service for Homero's scams), and that was a complete and total failure. Quite the shrewd businessman.  ::)

Retarded Kid would be an appropriate name for Garza though... time to search my tinfoil hat

Whoa, calm down man theymos is just a goverment staff not CIA or NSA agent

Don't worry Garza would end up in Jail... based on my dream..

If the OP is telling the truth, I do hope that he has no political views or uses those views to affect the bitcoin market. Hopefully, he's on the inside helping btc as I think he would with the position he has. I'm gonna research this more and post at a later date.

With Bitcoin world being a decentralized market, this forum IS pretty centralized. If someone like theymos was to screw with us he could do it pretty easily but he hasnt so far. Its like someone said, trust the person behind the name.

However if theymos did have a govt JOB; it wouldnt concern me, but if he was a political leader, then that would concern me or if his job involved tracking people's conversations / monetary transactions etc etc.

This one was a bit more creative than the usual Theymos thread
But interesting enough there sure are a lot of people with this name in the world.
