Title: Trendon Shavers - Family Contact made Post by: DonShrents on September 12, 2012, 11:49:07 PM I just had the pleasure of having a 10min or so telephone conversation with none other than Theodore (Ted) Shavers, the father of Trendon Shavers and had the opportunity to bring him up to speed on the happenings as of late. After leaving a mesasge or 2 previously, I was finally able to get through to him today.
I informed the elder Shavers that it would be in Trendon's best interests to get back in contact with the community that he has defrauded for the estimated amount of $5 million USD and for Theodore (Ted) to feel free to familiarize himself further on the topic, by searching his son's name on Google, for further reading. I will be keeping in contact with Ted Shavers (the father), as I explaned to him, it would be senseless for us to file Criminal proceedings if there was a chance to recoup some of the lost funds at this point. although Civil proceedings have been set in motion, which may be cancelled if the participants are left satisfied. He has made it clear to me that Trendon will be getting a call from him immediately and instructed to get back in touch with this community. The contact that I left with his father was donshrents@hotmail.com , although we will be continuing a telephone relationship until this situation comes to an end, regardless of what that end may be. ~DonShrents Title: Re: Trendon Shavers - Family Contact made Post by: jwzguy on September 12, 2012, 11:53:09 PM That's interesting. Did you get any information from him that confirms that TS is pirate@40? Did he know anything about Bitcoin?
Title: Re: Trendon Shavers - Family Contact made Post by: zyk on September 13, 2012, 12:02:25 AM Standing ovations !
Nobody called him before about the matter? Thanks for the hope not for coins but that the community is not a bunch of only completly braindead, lazy, paralyzed, greedy, criminal, trolling suckers ;) Cheers Zyk Title: Re: Trendon Shavers - Family Contact made Post by: DonShrents on September 13, 2012, 12:08:17 AM I also want to add that I just received a followup email from Theodore Shavers, confirming both the telephone conversation and the email contact.
While I am not putting all of my eggs into this basket, I feel confident that his father at least decided to answer the telephone after the messages left over the course of the last while. ~DonShrents Title: Re: Trendon Shavers - Family Contact made Post by: zyk on September 13, 2012, 12:26:50 AM I also want to add that I just received a followup email from Theodore Shavers, confirming both the telephone conversation and the email contact.

Thanks Zyk Title: Re: Trendon Shavers - Family Contact made Post by: DonShrents on September 13, 2012, 12:28:50 AM Yes, I did have a BTCST account.
~DonShrents Title: Re: Trendon Shavers - Family Contact made Post by: zyk on September 13, 2012, 01:07:40 AM Yes, I did have a BTCST account. ~DonShrents So you got the impression that his father is been instructed the very first time by you? Will you level to principal, when it turns out as a ponzi? or did you sell it? mine is just at bitcoinmax. Zyk Title: Re: Trendon Shavers - Family Contact made Post by: DonShrents on September 13, 2012, 01:09:15 AM Sorry. I am not sure what you are asking.
~DonShrents Title: Re: Trendon Shavers - Family Contact made Post by: Phinnaeus Gage on September 13, 2012, 01:20:30 AM I have a special request. I was only the impression that Don Shrents is Atlas. To be clear, I truly don't care if that's the case. Does somebody here have Atlas' phone number? Reason I'm asking is that I, or anybody, should make sure, 100%, that we are not being pulled/pushed down the wrong path by possibly Pirate himself. A simple phone call to Atlas, if he is Don Shrents, confirming the identity is all that is needed. This is not a trick by be to reveal Atlas behind this avatar. Don/Atlas if you trust me to keep a secret please PM me or email me. Perhaps you rather email me, but please PM letting me know that an email has been sent. Use the email on my profile page.
I would trust Atlas that a call had been placed, but at this point I'm not 100% sure. Sorry, Don. I know you'll understand. Peace, bro. ~Bruno~ Title: Re: Trendon Shavers - Family Contact made Post by: max in montreal on September 13, 2012, 01:33:29 AM ummm...not to bust anyones bubble, but someone just recently posted pirate chatting and someone asked about his home address and who these people were. he said that address was from 20 years ago and mentioned the names were his parents, then he said something like god bless their souls...sounding like they are dead...

They are alive and well.
The telephone number that I used to contact Trendon's father had nothing to do with the number posted in that chat log. I have confirmed him using email conversations as well as telephone and will continue to keep in touch. I have also confirmed my identity with Phinnaeus Gage. The fact that this (DonShrents) is a sock puppet account will prevent me from joining IRC with my findings without finding myself in the crosshairs, but here is what I can report here for all to confirm at their own leisure: Theodore (Ted) Shavers - tedshavers.com - ted@tedshavers.com - 214-587-6062 thank you, ~DonShrents Title: Re: Trendon Shavers - Family Contact made Post by: DonShrents on September 13, 2012, 01:42:47 AM Fell free to crosscheck it if you like. I have left voice mails on 2 seperate telephone numbers for this man and he knew who I was when I contacted him again today. He also replied to emails sent to him, using the same info.
The person I spoke with was in fact Trendon Shaver's father. Title: Re: Trendon Shavers - Family Contact made Post by: max in montreal on September 13, 2012, 01:45:52 AM http://www.oldride.com/late_model_vehicles/781972.html
Title: Re: Trendon Shavers - Family Contact made Post by: DonShrents on September 13, 2012, 01:49:27 AM http://www.oldride.com/late_model_vehicles/781972.html Exactly and if you pay close enough attention to the nose shot of the car, you will notice it contains a background shot of what is 608 Broad Leaf Lane, the Shaver's residence in McKinney Texas. This can be confirmed using Google Street view. http://www.oldride.com/imgitem/94729017551900_tmp_org.jpg Title: Re: Trendon Shavers - Family Contact made Post by: max in montreal on September 13, 2012, 01:55:56 AM what makes me laugh is everybody is helping out to play detective, so you want to help too, so you call up his dad...or someone you think is his dad...but if your serious about this, why would you post under a different account? seems like a big joke to me...

Title: Re: Trendon Shavers - Family Contact made Post by: DonShrents on September 13, 2012, 02:35:44 AM As I don't believe that Trendon's twin boys are actually his after doing the math and attempting to judge their current age in pictures, I will be in touch with his wife's first husband tomorrow to bring him up to speed on the situation as well, because if this ends up going to Criminal proceedings, the chances of getting money back will be next to nill, so at that point, a Child Wellfare case can be filed as well, being that a crime of this stature would not be a safe living environment for 2 children to be a part of.
In summation, if money can not be repaid, it will be up to the masses to cause as much personal collateral damage as is possible within the constraints of the law. ~DonShrents Title: Re: Trendon Shavers - Family Contact made Post by: smoothie on September 13, 2012, 02:42:05 AM Has anyone else called this number listed above?
Title: Re: Trendon Shavers - Family Contact made Post by: DonShrents on September 13, 2012, 02:45:32 AM I would suggest that level headed people feel free to contact Ted. Be aware that he is a decent sounding person and is represented as being a 'God fearing' man and church going. He can be found online as part of his congregation, so please do not simply call him and swear and freak out.
Be clear and respectful and he will certainly talk to you.

Let's hope he doesn't currently have an outstanding bill with the ex-wife. Title: Re: Trendon Shavers - Family Contact made Post by: DonShrents on September 13, 2012, 05:38:19 AM Now that we have a 100% VERIFIED shipping/living address for Trendon, if he chooses to keep silent and refuse to make an appearance by tomorrow by 5:00PM CST (his time zone), I will be back in contact with his father to explain the next step of our process and to expect Police or at minimum, a process server to visit all of the family members, in search of Trendon.
Even though we have his address, I think that we should drag as many family members into this as possible to make them all aware of the scale of this fraud in order to add as much social pressure as possible, as it doesn't cost anything. ~DonShrents Title: Re: Trendon Shavers - Family Contact made Post by: thebaron on September 13, 2012, 06:28:40 AM Even though we have his address, I think that we should drag as many family members into this as possible to make them all aware of the scale of this fraud in order to add as much social pressure as possible, as it doesn't cost anything.

But do you know (this) Trendon Shavers is Pirate? I agree with the above poster, confront the father with a picture of pirate and have him confirm that is indeed his son. If that was already done, please post it.

Title: Re: Trendon Shavers - Family Contact made Post by: Puppet on September 13, 2012, 07:53:01 AM I read "The family ties and identities have been confirmed". I would just like to know how they were verified before everyone goes after the wrong family.
Title: Re: Trendon Shavers - Family Contact made Post by: Luno on September 13, 2012, 08:08:31 AM Cadeau to people acting on the info and contacting the family. If the point is to reach a settlement or take this to court, doing anything more than proofing identity and explaining the situation and the case so far, to his father, is not doing any good. It sounds like his father was cooperative. If a number of people intent to call him and other in his family and post their answers to get some kind of confession, you are not helping your case. Benefit of doubt applies especially to old fathers, spouses and twin sons! when you get a lawyer, he will tell you the same thing.
Title: Re: Trendon Shavers - Family Contact made Post by: crazy_rabbit on September 13, 2012, 08:20:53 AM Now that it 'appears' that his identity has been confirmed, the most productive thing to do would be to contact a lawyer and let them handle it. No good can come out of harassing his family or trying to embarrass him further. The chance of someone taking it too far is too great. There are established legal measure to deal with fraud, so use them.
Title: Re: Trendon Shavers - Family Contact made Post by: rebuilder on September 13, 2012, 08:37:34 AM Please consider taking the father's contact info down. I'm sure it can be easily found, but doxing bystanders like that seems a bit indecent.
Also is there a summary of the proof for the link between pirate, the baseball-capped guy in the photos and Trendon Shavers? That'll be needed if he says he's not pirate.

Title: Re: Trendon Shavers - Family Contact made Post by: OneEyed on September 13, 2012, 09:18:44 AM Please let the father know the FBI has already been contacted. In this case, you should send the OP an evidence of this FBI contact, so that he does not unknowingly lie to the father on your behalf if it appears that this contact never took place or was done in a way that nothing will happen (you didn't just drop an anonymous mail to postmaster@fbi.gov, right?).

And now you shove your police - officers, FBI and the renewed IRC - theater - deception in your front or behind goat, as the next step for you is to fund a bitcoin.org wallet for private investigations to have Don - Shrents talk to prirate personally and report in his thread, as he is the most trustworthy, level headed, advance thinking and competent contributor in this story. And that should be accomplished before Trendon appears in court in November, all else and mark my words, the different brotherhoods will take care , that the loot is not given back to the rightful owners of those coins.........

Also is there a summary of the proof for the link between pirate, the baseball-capped guy in the photos and Trendon Shavers? That'll be needed if he says he's not pirate. The photo of the Vegas meet up at which Goat was present shows the same guy who is Trendon Shavers in social media. His family has that person friended on their social media accounts, so it's not just someone using the name. Trendon is definitely associated with GPUMax and his brother also has connections to Zack going back years. Another person on the forum also met pirate face to face for a hardware transaction and confirmed that he's the guy in the Trendon Shavers photos. It would be more appropriate to contact Trendon's known business associates at GPUMax than to harass extended family members - after all, GPUMax shared a wallet with BS&T and it's reasonable to expect that they either know something about where the funds have gone or that they're also pursuing Trendon for missing funds.

Title: Re: Trendon Shavers - Family Contact made Post by: LoupGaroux on September 13, 2012, 02:05:41 PM In a recent default, a precedent was established that it is perfectly reasonable to contact family members to civilly discuss the fraud committed by their relation. In that case, the father was able to intervene and show his son the light, and the creditors in that issue have recently been made whole.
Why would this issue be any different? It's exponentially more money, but the principles are the same. At this level it is a courtesy at the very least to let someone know that their child has committed massive fraud at a felony/crazy people going after him with wicked intent level hatred. If either of my 20-something sons had just stolen $5 million from a community that includes serious anarchists, right wing gun owners, passionately government hating doomsday preppers, and technical wizards, I think I would want to know, if only to prepare myself for one of several inevitable conclusions. And I think that I might be inspired to go straight to their homes, give them a sound smack up side the head and drag them by the ear to where ever they had stashed the loot and have them start making restitution. But that's my style of parenting adult children. Perhaps Puppet doesn't feel that way, and it is the village's responsibility to raise children the right way.

take care of your thread.......the public needs infos......if bored just phantasize what you got up your sleeves.....if its not cocks please ;) may you think of a way to block all efforts of the IRC cartel.....which surely is not in everybody´s or the communitys interest....be careful! Do you need funds to let somebody do some leg- work to snuff out where Trendon actually is located? Can you ask the father, where you could contact him to resolve everything in bitlanes interests? ---sorry that was a really a bad joke-- Just eating a pitzza together or getting hold of some accounting of him would be nice----ask him if he really want to fuck up his life for all future time....as bitcointalk.org is the future goverment of the world ;) or if he just can think of telling the true story and might be helped by us in court in November? Come on lets have some action, news and popcorn ! See ya all tomorrow Cheers Zyk Title: Re: Trendon Shavers - Family Contact made Post by: sadpandatech on September 14, 2012, 01:20:38 PM As I don't believe that Trendon's twin boys are actually his after doing the math and attempting to judge their current age in pictures, I will be in touch with his wife's first husband tomorrow to bring him up to speed on the situation as well, because if this ends up going to Criminal proceedings, the chances of getting money back will be next to nill, so at that point, a Child Wellfare case can be filed as well, being that a crime of this stature would not be a safe living environment for 2 children to be a part of. In summation, if money can not be repaid, it will be up to the masses to cause as much personal collateral damage as is possible within the constraints of the law. ~DonShrents Have not read through the thread after this point.... I can confirm the twins are not his. They are his current wife's and her ex husbands. She has recent filings on record to request child support. Not new requests, just normal filings from what I can tell, due to her address change, etc, or whatever reason. They do however of course lead to her ex huband's name and place of employment. And birth certificates verifying her and ex husband having said twins exist with the clerks office.

Thanks Zyk Title: Re: Trendon Shavers - Family Contact made Post by: DonShrents on September 14, 2012, 08:41:52 PM This is what I sent yesterday, as I said I would continue to keep in touch each day for progress reports:
Quote Hello Ted, I just wanted to let you know that no one has heard from Trendon as of yet, so would it be safe to assume that we should be persuing Criminal Charges at this point ? I was fairly certain after speaking with you about the situation, that you might see it in your heart to contact Trendon and let him know the serious nature of what has transpired. With the amount of money involved, we are being left with less and less choices as each day passes and eventually will be forced to alert the proper authorities about the clear cut case of fraud that has transpired. I would appreciate you getting back to me and letting me know if there has in fact been any progress on your end of things, as there is a good chance that once the ball is set in motion, that this will not turn out to be a very favorable decision of Trendon's to ignore the community that he has blatantly stole all of this money from. As I said, I welcome you to familiarize yourself further by simply going to www.google.com and searching TRENDON SHAVERS . I can bet that you will be pleasantly surprised to find out the scale of this as well as the number of people that are currently looking for compensation. I look forward to your reply. Thank you. I received this reply from Mr. Shavers this morning: Quote Good morning, You give him 2 weeks, and give me 24 hours… Spoke with him yesterday and this morning, my belief is calm should prevail, continue your communication efforts with him, he is getting your emails. Ted Shavers (214) 587-6062 This is the latest update. Title: Re: Trendon Shavers - Family Contact made Post by: AndrewBUD on September 14, 2012, 08:45:54 PM What does that last reply mean?

The telephone number has already been made public record previously, so if someone feels the need to contact Ted and hassle him, they are more than welcome.

The telephone number is there for all to use and verify. I would just remind people that Ted has been very decent to talk to and to show the same amount of kindness and respect in return, if choosing to contact him. I should have been more clear, as when I read it now, it reads like I advised people against contacting him. Sorry. Not what I meant. ~DonShrents Title: Re: Trendon Shavers - Family Contact made Post by: Phinnaeus Gage on September 15, 2012, 03:35:01 AM I just had the pleasure of having a 10min or so telephone conversation with none other than Theodore (Ted) Shavers, the father of Trendon Shavers and had the opportunity to bring him up to speed on the happenings as of late. After leaving a mesasge or 2 previously, I was finally able to get through to him today. I informed the elder Shavers that it would be in Trendon's best interests to get back in contact with the community that he has defrauded for the estimated amount of $5 million USD and for Theodore (Ted) to feel free to familiarize himself further on the topic, by searching his son's name on Google, for further reading. I will be keeping in contact with Ted Shavers (the father), as I explaned to him, it would be senseless for us to file Criminal proceedings if there was a chance to recoup some of the lost funds at this point. although Civil proceedings have been set in motion, which may be cancelled if the participants are left satisfied. He has made it clear to me that Trendon will be getting a call from him immediately and instructed to get back in touch with this community. The contact that I left with his father was donshrents@hotmail.com , although we will be continuing a telephone relationship until this situation comes to an end, regardless of what that end may be. ~DonShrents I find it ironic because you are the domain registrar of Pirate's sites. The user Don Shrents is not the (long e) Don Shrents. He's a trusted member of this forum opting to use that moniker for this investigation. (and it's not me, either) A handful of other members on this forum may be able to verify that fact, but I don't know who or how many. ~Bruno~ Title: Re: Trendon Shavers - Family Contact made Post by: Haplo on September 15, 2012, 04:33:27 AM There's a few things that have come to my attention recently, that I think are important to this whole issue.
Patrick, can you please expose what you previously thought to be pirate's business model? If not, why not? Given he's not surfacing or communicating, I don't see why not. This may not be the actual model used but is is one way to do it - it exploits an inefficiency between two markets and indulges in market manipulation along the way. I would think a year at 3%/week would be easier, but it would become unweildy to do it for much longer than that (again, it's an opinion). Mr X wants a 10% return on a USD investment, but banks pay near zero. Mr Z can provide him that return and gets a $500k deposit. Mr Z buys bitcoins at $5 each. Because bitcoins is small, Mr Z can corner and squeeze the market - preventing big price swings, selling high and buying low. Mr Z does this with bitcoins that he has obtained from bitcoin users - he pays them interest. Over six months, Mr Z has moved the price to $11, sells 50k to return $550k to Mr X Mr Z has happy customers, and made some money along the way. The plus of this is that the price of bitcoins generally increases. The down side is that the market is controlled and there is much less free-will or competitive force at work. The phrase "you've been played" springs to mind. Interestingly, this process also allows (within reason) a forecast future trading range (increasing). The bubble over $13 probably hurt BS&T along with the reduced liquidity from the August withdrawal spree. Having watched this over the past year, it was clear a lot of trading was not occurring through Gox and there are lots of good reasons for that. Why can't he unwind it all quickly/smoothly? Not sure, but then I would have run it differently. And on a competitive note, since BS&T closed shop, I have processed around 8000 BTC of withdrawals for Starfish customers. Apparently the secret "business plan" that a few people mentioned they knew from close dealings with pirate was a total load of shit. There really never was a legitimate business, we've been flat out had. What is probably most likely is that he used the profits he shaved from pool hopping with gpumax to keep his ponzi floating long enough to make it believable, before re-opening the business to the general public. If the info I've seen on gpumax is accurate, then he and his silent business partners have known about this from the beginning, and have never intended to pay anything significant back. If this is true, then giving them the benefit of the doubt by pushing for a civil settlement is playing to their favor and not ours. Not only do we have basically no chance of getting anything back, but we would have to pay a significant sum just to see him in court (assuming he doesn't run to Brazil or somewhere we can't touch him, then we'd pay for absolutely nothing). In short, messing with Trendon's family is probably the least useful option. He and his business partners should be our direct targets, and chances are we're better off going immediately for criminal charges in order that things proceed as quickly as possible, and to minimize any further losses on our part. Consider every day that we wait to throw him in jail to be hookers and blow. Title: Re: Trendon Shavers - Family Contact made Post by: SysRun on September 15, 2012, 04:54:08 AM When is Trendon's upcoming court date? It just occurred to me that Trendon's father asking for "a couple weeks" could coincide with something (like him leaving the country, this court date that's coming up...). Has it occurred to anyone to contact the prosecution with information about what Trendon has been up to? It may be information that is useful to someone.
Just a random Friday Night Thought. Title: Re: Trendon Shavers - Family Contact made Post by: BorderBits on September 15, 2012, 05:05:35 AM It's hard to figure out which is more idiotic: Investing in an obvious Ponzi, or getting all internet-detective when obvious Ponzi takes your money.

I used to live in Houston in the early 90's, and have made several friends, one of which is an (American) Indian, now living only 34 miles from Trendon Shaver's known address.

I don't think he'll mind at all driving the distance to see you and both have a beer or two on my dime to discuss the matter at hand face-to-face. Jake and I once had a bet to see who could carry the most drywall into a commercial building, doing so at four 4' X 12' sheets at a time. He won, and I had to pay for dinner.

Title: Re: Trendon Shavers - Family Contact made Post by: Phinnaeus Gage on September 15, 2012, 10:03:42 PM If the point of this thread was for Pirate to "show himself" at Defcon so that investors would have more confidence, I don't think this has been fulfilled. What we have is a picture of a bunch of people, with people saying "This is me with pirate" or "I think I know who Pirate is here". Why is everybody else so afraid to pinpoint who Pirate is? What is the point of the picture if not to show who Pirate is? PS! I have money in some PPTs so I'm no detractor, just a bit tired of the games that seem to be played here.. Pirate is 3rd from the right. His real name is Trendon Shavers and he lives in McKinney, TX. He will be turning 30 in September. Of course, nobody will believe me because if they do it takes all the fun out of it. All this information is available via google, and if you're investor you should already know all of it or you didn't do you due diligence and one day you will be scammed by a real scam artist. Pirate, on the other hand is just a smart guy trying to get rich by helping bitcoin reach it's full potential. I know exactly where pirate lives thanks to a return address on a package :) YOU HERE THAT, I KNOW WHERE YOU SLEEP! Or slept: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egqZspgz-hw Just wanted to make sure that this is out there by bluefirecorp.

Huh? Title: Re: Trendon Shavers - Family Contact made Post by: neotrix on September 29, 2012, 08:07:35 PM I guess a bad saturday night thought lol... Anyway I'm on the side of the ones who like to fix problem by themself... as said its usually much efficient...
Anyway was just a thought...forgot it if you prefer ;) Title: Re: Trendon Shavers - Family Contact made Post by: CJGoodings on September 29, 2012, 08:20:51 PM Looks like his translator is on the fritz.
Title: Re: Trendon Shavers - Family Contact made Post by: neotrix on September 29, 2012, 08:26:00 PM I could reply by telling what I'm thinking of such remarks ( yes sorry my English isn't perfect as not all countries over the world have 'English" for native language...) but it's better I don't. I could write in French but I guess you even don't know there are other languages in the world...and I wouldn't make you think that you discovered the new antique language...
I let you in your shit with pirate guys ;) Peace... Title: Re: Trendon Shavers - Family Contact made Post by: repentance on September 29, 2012, 09:06:52 PM Does nobody simply give him a visit as now all his infos are public ( name, adress...) For such amount in many place over the world you will get some shootg.. front your face and you ( pirate) will be more available for a talk... I know radical way are not the best blabla... but sometime for big money its the best way anyway... Pirate could just pay some fucking good lawers ( he will do ) and make you waiting for years before to be out of usa... What you're suggesting has been suggested many times before in pirate threads (and in Bitcoinica threads, too, for that matter). What on earth makes you think that confronting pirate face to face would lead to any payments? Sure, you could threaten him but he lives in Texas which happens to have stand your ground laws and he could easily claim that he was fearful enough of whoever turned up to threaten him to justify shooting them. In fact, the stuff which has been posted in this board regarding doing things to his family could even be used to back up any claim on his part that he felt someone turning up on his doorstep posed a legitimate threat to his family. You're naive if you think that everyone just rolls over in the face of intimidation.

We have a new Get Trendon Thread here. If you have any verified information please post here. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=120119.new#new Trendon is clearly thriving on all this FUD and confusion by all this speculation and infighting. The other thread will be a repository of verified information so his creditors and the SEC will know who to pursue. Even his partners and anyone who he does business with in he future with is not liable. He's a toxic asset. Title: Re: Trendon Shavers - Family Contact made Post by: repentance on October 24, 2012, 07:55:20 PM He has 5 Million and will just buy a better lawyer and your BTC is and cash is gone.. There's also never been any evidence provided of him being given 500k BTC. As far as I can tell, when people trot out the USD 5 million figure they're talking about what they believe he "owes" including compounded interest, not the principal they "invested" with him less any payments they received. Title: Re: Trendon Shavers - Family Contact made Post by: BCB on November 03, 2012, 04:21:59 PM We know that many people outside the bitcoin commuinty are following these Trendon Shaver threads.

Any assets Trendon Shavors has or controls could only have been purchased with fraudulent income from his Bitcoin Securities Ponzi scheme.

Title: Re: Trendon Shavers - Family Contact made Post by: MPOE-PR on November 20, 2012, 08:23:46 AM IIRC the 500k figure is based off of some BS he threw out on IRC. I never saw any additional evidence. If there wasn't any, then it does seem pretty ridiculous to take this one thing at face value, out of the thousands of lines of bullshit this guy spewed. You are correct: it is an estimated figure of his total liabilities. It does not mean that he received that much in cash, nor that he has that much on balance. Simply adding the (estimate) of what all people could claim against him comes to about that. This "about" is by no means a precise figure, more like "The actual figure is closer to 500k than 100k." The best way to use that number would be "no more than 500k." unverified anecdotal evidence suggests Trendon Shavers has secured and is in control of $1M USD in hard assets and is slowing cashing out and additional $500,000 worth of BTC. I believe the $5M USD figure was based on interest income due on the actual principal investments which we now know never existed. As best I can tell all that evidence has a single source, which is you. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
