Board Election Results Announcement

By Brian Goss, Chairman, Elections Committee • May 9, 2014

Today the Bitcoin Foundation elected two new board members:

Bobby Lee is the CEO and co-founder of BTC China, the first Bitcoin exchange in China and one of the leading Bitcoin exchanges worldwide. Bobby started his career in Silicon Valley as a software engineer at Yahoo! pioneering some of the earliest online communities on the Internet.  He has spent the last seven years in Shanghai, China where he was Director of Software Engineering at EMC in China and CTO of SMG BesTV, the leading IPTV company in China. Most recently, he was Vice President of Technology for Walmart’s China E-Commerce business. Bobby graduated from Stanford University with B.S. and M.S. degrees in Computer Science. He has his E-MBA from CEIBS.

Brock Pierce is Co-Founder of GoCoin, ExpressCoin, KnCMiner.cn, and Robocoin Asia. A prolific angel investor, he is city leader of BitAngels Los Angeles and runs the first Bitcoin syndicate to achieve top 10 status on AngelList. Pierce has raised more than $200 million on behalf of his companies and led more than 30 acquisitions in his career. Pierce’s entrepreneurial activities focus around digital currencies like Bitcoin, games, ad tech and payments.

Voting for our two open industry board seats closed last night at 11:59pm EDT, and the results were decrypted and published at 9:00am EDT this morning. In this second round of voting, the top two candidates had to receive at least 50% approval in order to qualify as a winner. 71 voters participated, 31 abstained, and as a result, Bobby received 79% approval, Brock 65% and Vinny 63%.

Bobby and Brock will join the five existing board members for a new total of seven board seats starting June 1, 2014.

Thank you to all industry members for participating in the voting process. Congratulations Bobby and Brock!

Since I trust Bitcoin and The Bitcoin Foundation, and the latter deems it A-OK to have an accused pedophile on its board, I will now try to convince my sister that she should drop the charges against the pedophile that tried to make contact with my nephew via the X-Box he received last Christmas.

I'm sure it was all just a misunderstanding when the Paedo-, a registered sex offender in an adjoining state, made contact with my 11-year-old nephew and his friends. I'm pretty sure he'll grow outta the way he's been speaking and carrying himself sinse the latter part of January with his counselor's help. In fact, I now firmly believe that the counselor is no longer needed, and a ton of money could be saved on my sister's part since this is obviously the new norm.

Furthermore, I want to invite the Paedo- over for dinner once a week, with Wednesday - Hump Day - being the most logically choice, whereupon after dinner he'll be allowed to fuck my 11-year-old nephew up his thight ass in my company while I observe the BTC exchange rate go up-and-down, up-and-down,... while I jack-off to the latest issue of Goat Quarterly.

Strike that! Why should I have to jack-off when I, too, can fuck my nephew up his ass along with the Paedo-, a la a three-pronged attack. What's good enough for a board member of The Bitcoin Foundation is definitely good enough for its members.

Now, that The Bitcoin Foundation has officially lost its fuckin' mind, I'm going to re-watch my favorite Brock Pierce video and jack-off all over myself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmaRTZpJgPA

To give you an idea as to how far removed I am from the Paedo- scene, I had to Google the above image to see how the bear pic above is relevant. Now I know.

Look Phinnaeus asshole - you are also an accused pedo!  I allege you are a child rapist.  Now, you too can't get on boards and participate in anything ever again.  

You can't hang a guy just because someone accused him of being a pedo.  He isn't convicted.  There wasn't even a trial.  You are dumbass to punish him as if it is a certainty.

That Swiss guy who sued him put loads, and loads of shit in the complaint.  You can't pretend it is all true and hold the guy out as if he was convicted.  That guy who sued overstated many things to support his case.  Now, you run around like the guy just got out of jail for raping little boys.  

Time to give it a rest.  The voters voted.  It is settled.  More people believe in him than believe in you.  You pedophile.

The same could be said of Bruce Wagner, yet an 8 page thread (among several others) nailed his balls to the wall, starting with this post:

Just to set the record straight....

I am not a pedophile.    I am a homosexual.   But those are two completely different things.   In fact, the vast majority of pedophiles are heterosexual.

I have never had any sort of sexual relations with anyone under age --- ever in my life --- even when I was underage myself, and I certainly have no interest in doing so.    It is a horrific and despicable thing.    ( Even when I was under 18, my first boyfriend was 19, and I was 17.   We were together for 6 years. )

I do not condone rape.   It is equally despicable.   I never condone any acts of violence, unless in direct self defense.    I have never raped anyone.

Absolutely everyone familiar with Thai culture in the least knows that ALL males are referred to as "boys" --- even if they are 38 years old.    And ALL females are referred to as "girls", similarly.   It is just the terminology they use.    It is a bit disconcerting at first.... to hear them constantly refer to someone older than you as a "boy" or a "girl"....   but you get used to it.    It is a part of their culture and customs.

I happen to know that Thailand's laws against child-sex are extremely strict.    IDs are checked everywhere, and multiple times, to insure that everyone is over 18 years old.    Thailand's laws are much stricter, in this regard, than the laws of New York, New Jersey, or Connecticut --- where the legal age of consent is only 17, in fact.

However, again, I have never had any such interest in anyone who is not an adult.... ever in my life.

What has happened is....

I have spoken out against the MyBitcoin posse.....   Madhatter, his close familial relationship with NanaimoGold, etc., etc.

I've also spoken out against the vandalism --- to the point of the destruction of --- this Forum.....  by kid hackers who absolutely HATE libertarian values, and bitcoin, and what those concepts stand for.

The Result is Clear.

This Forum has become their obvious target.   They want to destroy it.    And they've done a good job of that.

And I have become a target --- and they want to destroy me --- because I promote Bitcoin, and I am enthusiastic about Bitcoin....  and, the fact is, people listen to me.    So they are trying oh so desperately to discredit me.

Then, add to that, the MyBitcoin heist by all the names associated with each other on the #bitcoin-police wiki....   and you get the complete picture.

These are Bitcoin Haters.....   and MyBitcoin Thieves who are now Fugitives.

Many of the statements made about me by these people are clearly libelous.   I am retaining legal counsel to pursue all legal avenues with regard to such libelous statements made about me.

As you can see in these two emails I just received today....    The MyBitcoin thieves are scared.    They are only hoping that I do, in fact, have something to hide.   Sorry to disappoint...   But I do not.

Sorry about your luck someone... or whatever other obvious pseudonym you're using today.    :)

I have absolutely nothing to hide.    And I have broken no laws.      ( other than a big fat ticket for not wearing a seat belt recently.  :)   )

Two interesting emails I received today...

Don't you wish you could delete and change things faster? Well, the
internet doesn't really work that way does it? We had that stuff
archived over a year ago -- it's old news to us.

Look, I always knew you were a pervert. Ever since you first appeared on
the forums. I kept your secrets for a long time.

Your reputation is toast. Now, I don't even have to lift a finger. The
rest will run its course organically.

You got sloppy and you put people I know in harms way. That was
irresponsible and unforgivable.

I have more information about the things your group is involved in, but
it is so fucking sick I'm afraid to even think it. If the police ever do
find me and show up on my doorstep they'll be the first to get a copy.

We want you to leave Bitcoin now. You've served your purpose. We can
take it from here. Pack your bags and fuck off now. Go back to whoring
or something else instead, pretty please?

Cheers!

As you can see, someone is desperate and scared.   He hopes against all odds that I have something to hide... and that he ( they ) can intimidate me into stopping.... telling the truth.

This is such a shame, and embarrassing.

I can't help but feel bad for Bruce. I recently had dinner with Jered of TradeHill and Bruce in NY where BitInstant is based, and I could only say good things.

Bruce is one of Bitcoins largest allies and advocators, it would be a big blow to the community of these allegations are true.

Let's try and remain objective until the facts come to light

Can you at least explain these?

Men and Boys: Ever pee in a bottle in public? take my anonymous poll http://ping.fm/Y6xyQ

I'm dying to go back to Pattaya, Thailand... Paradise on Earth.
1 year, 7 months ago.

so sometimes men = boys, and sometime it refers to two different groups?


For those who don't know, punlman is Bruce (you can check his blog, or this screenie:

https://i.imgur.com/SrOwt.jpg

I will take a survey of the ACTUAL REAL adults who attended this past Conference.... ( not the endless personas here belonging to 13-year-old bitcoin and libertarian haters )  and I will ask them if they would prefer Pattaya, or some other destination.   It makes little difference to me.


So, if I get it right, it all makes little difference to you. If it makes so little difference, then the only reason you are so stubbornly sticking to Pattaya is to spite the people on these forums and/or to rub it in their face that they could not attend your meeting in NY?

Come on Bruce. We know it DOES make a difference to you. We know you have some hidden agenda to stick to Pattaya, and that agenda is actually not so hidden anymore. And you know what, I bet that if you had just said it out straight at the first questions you got, 90% of all people would have understood it. They would still disagree with the location, but at least they'd have understood.

"Why Pattaya? Because I think it is a very nice place, I have been there before and had some holiday trips and I would love to go there again."

I even bet that you could have added: "I had some great times there in the gay sex scene, so I will combine my conference there with some more of that". There's probably like 5% homophobes who would drop the understanding-rate to 85%, but at least it would have been honest.
No one believed your whole "Fancy hotel / financial center / well established conference location crap" from the first time you came up with it.

Also, most of the people here who are arguing that Pattaya is *bad* for bitcoins do not do it to annoy you, or anything like that. They do it because... they think Pattaya is bad for bitcoin. Calling them 13-year olds and whatever names you want to come up with is a very childish way of trying to get your way.

Now, we're saying that having an accused pedophile on board of The Bitcoin Foundation is a good for Bitcoin.

Fuckin' genius!

The following post is where Bruce Wagner is called out as a liar:

By the way, for a little more clarification...

In that excerpt from 2006, in that forum... which is being attributed to me...    The FACT is....   My post was the one at the top.     The message I was REPLYING TO was the one at the bottom...

In other words, my words were at the top --- before the word "QUOTE(tdperhs..." etc.

The words after  "QUOTE(tdperhs..."   ....is the other guy's post.....   the post to which I was replying.

Those words about a "virgins and newbies" and "a three pronged attack"....   were NOT my words.    

You can see clearly that I was quoting that other guy.

In my reply, I was defending the guys who work there in that business....  Saying that it's great that people tip them well, but the problem is one of economics.   They are so poor, they cannot refuse even the scumbags who mistreat them.... and then underpay them.    It's a very sad thing.    THAT is what I was saying.

If you re-read it in that light, it will make sense to you.

I have never been to any place called "Atom Bomb" and none of those words are in character for me.

Also, Pattaya is very well know for its Four Seasons and Ritz Carleton and Marriott Resort Hotels on the beaches.... and which are used for conventions, as well as it's Pattaya Exhibition and Convention Hall.     Just look at some of these pictures:   http://www.peachthailand.com/exhibition-convention/ (http://www.peachthailand.com/exhibition-convention/)

Millions of people, and families, go there from all over the world for conventions and expos every year.   But if you don't like Pattaya or Thailand, please just don't go.     It's just that simple.

By the way, in case anyone is curious....   PUNLman stands for what I believe in.   PUNL.    Pure Unconditional Non-judgmental Love.   .....which is what I am all about.   .....and which always wins in the end.    :)



Bullshit: you were quoting this post

https://i.imgur.com/PcEMI.png


Also, the second creepy post looks like your classic, elipsis and period filled diatribes

True or not, everything in this entire thread is disgusting (MyBitcoin, Pattaya and the other allegations).
Is there no moderation at all on this forum?

Regardless, this is a major scar to this forum if anything. If the media pick up on all of this shit it's going to be yet another huge blow to the PR effort of bitcoin and we'll be yet another huge leap away from bitcoin being viewed as a successful currency.
I think whether it's true or not, Bruce should probably put a halt to the bitcoin show as it's only going to harm the community further, which is sad that it's came down to this as the bitcoin show was one of a kind really, even if some people did dislike it. And also the MyBitcoin suspects should be persued however possible and not forgotton.

Hopefully this doesn't hurt bitcoin as badly as I'm expecting.

Is the following how we should view Brock Pierce?

This is sickening me.  I am issuing a challenge to non-trolls in this forum to step up and put some support behind Bruce.  He's not perfect, but he's our de facto spokesperson, and having his name dragged through the mud makes us all look bad.  For the sake of Bitcoins, stand behind Bruce Wagner.


Bruce hasn't done anything wrong.  He's not a scammer, a rapist, a pedophile, or any of that stuff people are accusing him of.  He's doing his best for the community and we should be thanking him.


You have to admit where does the line stop with "bs" and the truth -  as you say and what kind of credibility can a forum like that have when you start blasting someone with really bad accusations with basically no evidence or the person can't even defend themselves? And your ok with associating with people who do this and do this on another forum around a great technology as bitcoin?  and who does this for fun?

If "mobilizing" is against the rules if I were to ask let me see a raise of hands how many people on this thread are from SA I bet a good portion would be from there  and this isn't "breaking the rules"?

I don't know about the rest of you but there is no creditably from ANYONE from SA  member and who is also a member of this forum to go around accusing others for the "fun of it". Just my humble opinion.

Are you suggesting that we're going back in time and creating articles 5 years ago to discredit someone?  Whether or not any one of us is trustworthy is kind of besides the point.  The information is available for anyone willing to look for it.

Also, Bruce has an account here and is CEO of a worldwide television network.  That's pretty much the definition of 'public figure' and he has multiple avenues to defend himself.

Not suggesting that at all. But then you are suggesting you ( SA ) has never been wrong either. I don't have a beef with SA I just want more transparency so the other forum members who don't know who SA is  can know who is associated with whom so they can make a well thought out opinion . I'm not taking a side either - who knows maybe Bruce has done what you all are accusing him of doing but it doesn't do you all any good to hide behind any "motives" either.

He does have many venue's but up against hundreds of SA members there is no way he'll be able to get his facts our to the story against a "machine" like this. Thanks for a civil discussion btw.

:)

I'm not so sure. I think he can get his side out, which he still has not done so with regards to the Pattaya controversy (NOT the pedo stuff, just the destination and conflict of interest). I think this new revelation about mortgage fraud is really interesting and it needs to be discussed amongst the community if this is someone that we want being the face of Bitcoin (which to this point, he has been). As I said before, the media will love mentioning that the face behind bitcoin is a convicted fraudster (if it is the same Bruce, which at this point looks likely) and that's not something we need.

I'm not from SA, but I found it linked on here and I have to say I've enjoyed the site. Those guys haven't invented or fabricated anything really, they've just posted things that Bruce himself has put out there. Sure, the jump to pedo status was a bit unwarranted, but the rest of the stuff is plainly information that's publicly available.

This is a PR nightmare, anyway it is handled - distancing from Bruce seems to be the safe bet though


Didn't any of you wonder how Bruce and Ed were able to afford their Manhattan penthouse and 10k/month office despite not having jobs?

I surely do.

I also wonder who paid for those 25K bitcoins he complains of losing. I know some people, including Adrianne Jeffries and her office staff bought a few on a lark, but that doesn't begin to account for who owns the bulk of that load.

Who are these friends? Do they like to travel to Bruce's bitcoin conferences? Perhaps employ a few boys (boys means men) for some stinky fun?

I'm not going to beat around the bush.

I submit that Bruce was selling sex tourism and laundering the proceeds though MBC. Something went wrong with his plan and it became easier to just steal the bitcoin rather than follow through. Or maybe his partner Tom/d Williams double crossed him.

Either way, there is still some malignant tumor that needs excising from this "community".

Somebody please bring some air freshener.

So far, no witnesses have come forward to corroborate Egan's accusations regarding any of the four. But the idea that underage boys were drugged and raped at the Encino estate, and sometimes threatened with guns by Collins-Rector, is hardly new. Egan was one of several young men to make such allegations in lawsuits filed against Collins-Rector, Shackley and Pierce 14 years ago -- court cases in which the plaintiffs won $4.5 million from Collins-Rector and Shackley by default because the trio had fled the country (Pierce reached a settlement). Egan and other plaintiffs also named several John Does but did not include Singer or the others he now is accusing. His attorney has declined to explain why.

"Brock, Chad and I are leaving the country to Spain because the heat is on. Now, we both know that you're not gay and didn't have sex with any of the hundreds of underage boys at Camp DEN (wink, wink), but you're happy to come along with us and..."

"Already packed and ready to go, guys. I heard there's beautiful girls (wink, wink) in Spain, and I can't think of anybody else to live with besides you two cool dudes. My only regret is that I wish I had more money, having to had to settle outta court a case I could have easily won, but I'm sure between our three heads... why you guys laughing? Outta our three heads, a bigger venture is just around the corner. Who knows? Perhaps, I'll be the lead spokesperson for some virtual currency some day."

"He's right, Marc. There's tons of gold to be had on the internet. We just gotta figure out how to tap into it. Is that your hand or Brock's? Whose ever it is, slow down, for it's long way to Spain."

I had a friend who worked for his last company, Playsino. They worked for months on casino games on the Facebook platform.

Things weren't going well (they failed to ship a product), and Brock kept promising them that investment was coming. Most of them were working for reduced or no salary for weeks, with the promise that they'd be paid when investment finally came in. It didn't, Brock moved on and left a lot of his employees financially screwed.

This guy's just a greedy opportunist. If he senses he can make money from it, he'll drop everything and use his resume/child actor status/PR firm to push his way in. This is why he's trying to lobby the japanese courts to steal people's Bitcoins - he doesn't give a shit about the original owners or the community, he's just in it to make as much money as possible for himself.

There is no way on earth this guy is good for Bitcoin. Please don't vote him into the foundation.

Under its new moniker, Playsino will look to leverage its traction in the tournaments and virtual rewards space and double down on another emerging vertical: social casino games. Ambitiously, Playsino is setting out to build “the world’s largest social gaming casino platform,” and is naming a new CEO to help lead the way. Brock Pierce, who will be the startup’s CEO, is the managing Director of the Clearstone Global Gaming Fund, and a serial entrepreneur, having founded eight companies and acquired 30 more in various capacities.

Pierce played an early role in the development of virtual goods, founding Internet Gaming Entertainment (IGE) in 2001 and Zam in 2003. In addition to new leadership, Playsino is also announcing today that it has raised $1.5 million in venture capital as part of an ongoing round. The investment was led by IDM Venture Capital, a Singapore-based venture capital firm, Pacific Capital Group, Siemer Ventures, and a number of angel investors, including Jordan Simons of GCP and Wicks Walker of W4 Ventures. Existing investor Tomorrow Ventures also participated in the round.

I think we should pick our fights and the Bitcoin Foundation's fight is Bitcoin. Maybe Brock's name is being unjustly dragged in the mud but unfortunately, it won't matter to journalists who want to damage Bitcoin's image or to Joe Sixpack watching Fox News. Similar to law firms, PR organisations should not be concerned about what's morally "right" or "wrong". The only thing that should matter to them is defending their client (i.e. Bitcoin) in the court of public opinion. Charlie Shrem understood that which is why he resigned shortly after his arrest. It doesn't matter whether the foundation is "right" to support Brock if in the end it fails at its goal of promoting Bitcoin. Therefore, I disagree that the foundation should "stand by Brock's side" like some people here have suggested... let's make a Brock Foundation for that.

Posts constantly in what can only be an attempt to stir up trouble and arguments

Meanwhile, staff by the name of davout of InstaWallet/Bitcoin-Central/Paymium has yet to return my 1,132 BTC of which now resides in one of his bitcoin wallets.

I assume the trouble and arguments I've been attempting to stir up relates to Brock Pierce due to my postings over the course of the past week. Now that he's on The Bitcoin Foundation board, he can push his weight around and dictate what happens on this forum. I'm not versed in how such is accomplished, but I can assume that that assessment is not too far off the mark.

So, one can now get a negative trust rating for the entire world to see on BitcoinTalk for simply expressing opinions and facts.

I demand to know exactly what troubles and arguments I have attempted to spread that warrants me, a trustworthy individual, to receive negative trust from staff.

Mention DEN, the Digital Entertainment Network, and dot-com historians will know you're talking about the ugliest of the bubble implosions. A forerunner to YouTube, it was brought down by the pedophile appetites of founder Marc Collins-Rector, who had promised to build "the last network," burying TV forever. Its three founders lived in a VC-funded mansion in L.A. where boys -- promised stardom in Web clips -- [filed lawsuits claiming to have been] raped after decadent parties.

What happened after the three founders -- including Disney child star Brock Pierce -- fled the FBI by heading for Spain? An investigative report by Radar Magazine catches up with Marc Collins-Rector, who is walking rakishly free in London...and his protege Brock Pierce, whose giant company IGE -- which buys and sells cash in "World Of Warcraft" and other games -- is winning rave write-ups in Fortune and other magazines. In our long investigation, we discovered strong evidence that Collins-Rector -- who is hiding his money from child abuse victims -- may have helped fund IGE.

Plus you can now watch their hilarious/twisted flagship Web show, "Chad's World," a pedophile fantasy based on the founders' own lives.

Quote
As the lawsuits against the company mounted in early 2000, DEN–in which Pierce held nearly one million shares and Collins-Rector still owned a majority stake–began to hemorrhage money. The planned IPO, which was postponed after the first abuse allegations surfaced, was permanently shelved. A crumbling Nasdaq didn't help the situation. By May 2000, the start-up was bankrupt. Before long, its headquarters were gutted, the expensive computer equipment and office chairs sold off for a fraction of their original cost. Around Hollywood, rumors flew that Collins-Rector, Shackley, and Pierce were about to be arrested on embezzlement and sexual offenses. Before any charges were filed, though, the three men disappeared.
They didn't turn up again until May 2002, when a tip to Interpol led authorities to raid their luxury villa in Marbella, on the Spanish Riviera–an area British tabloids have dubbed the Costa del Crime due to its high population of English-speaking fugitives. Among the items recovered from the residence were guns, machetes, a trove of jewels, and child pornography. Pierce and Shackley were held for about a month by Spanish police and then released.

The prosecution of Collins-Rector also proved difficult. He remained in a Spanish jail for almost two years, fighting extradition, before finally being brought to the United States, where he pled guilty to eight charges of child enticement, a comparably minor offense. He was soon out of prison–receiving credit for the time he'd served in Spain. Since most of his alleged crimes took place at the mansion in Encino, it was up to L.A. County prosecutors to make any further charges stick, but the DA never took steps to do so. (The L.A. County district attorney's office refused to comment about the status of any DEN investigation.) The victims sought justice in the civil courts, however, winning a total of $4.5 million in summary judgments. Except for a small side agreement with Pierce, the award has yet to be paid, lawyers say.

I don't recall a single person getting chastised for sticking it up Bitcoiner's favorite son, Bruce Wagner, ass during the infamous three-pronged attack thread. Is it because Brock Pierce brings more to the Bitcoin table than what Bruce Wagner would have brought, i.e. $$$ (note, fiat notes, not BTC)?

Brock Pierce now sits on the board of The Bitcoin Foundation, and I get my first negative trust rating, all on the same day.

Motherfuckin' madness!

Meet the newly elected board member of The Bitcoin Foundation, direct from the guy who now has a negative trust rating due to starting trouble and arguments.

Quote
Such brazen behavior wouldn't surprise anyone who knew Collins-Rector back when DEN was riding high. In those heady days before the Internet bust, a Who's Who of gay Hollywood flocked to notorious all-night bashes at the "M&C estate," so named for Marc and his twentysomething cohort Chad Shackley. The pair, who met on an online bulletin board (remember those?) when Shackley was just 15, collaborated on a number of tech start-ups, including an early Internet service provider, Concentric Network Services.

Flush with cash from their successful ventures, Collins-Rector (who had changed his name from the more pedestrian Rector) and his young colleague landed in Encino, California, where they took a special liking to a $4.2 million Spanish colonial McMansion that had previously belonged to Death Row Records rap impresario Suge Knight. Streams and waterfalls traced the carefully manicured 1.5-acre grounds, which housed a tennis court, an enormous gazebo, a swimming pool, aquariums, a home theater, and a hot tub built for 12.

Among their new acquaintances in Los Angeles were such industry heavies as David Geffen, uber-manager Sandy Gallin, then–NBC Entertainment president Garth Ancier, and Usual Suspects director Bryan Singer. It's also where they hatched an audacious plan for a Web-based television venture that was to consign the networks to the dustbin of history. They called it DEN, and staked its business model on "narrowcasting," or marketing to thin demographic segments. An early attempt to capture the online video zeitgeist that eventually blossomed with YouTube, den.net was instead rooted in original programming.

The plan attracted major investments from key players in Hollywood, the tech industry, and Wall Street, ranging from Geffen and Singer to Intel, NBC, and Microsoft. Representative Michael Huffington wrote a check for $5 million after a lavish dinner party at M&C, boasting to a friend that he expected to reap at least a tenfold gain from his investment.

Another regular at the mansion was DEN executive VP Brock Pierce. He was aggressive and self-assured, with blond hair and an insouciant pout. He was also still a teenager—17 years old and coming off a successful career as a child actor, with The Mighty Ducks and First Kid among his credits. According to a DEN board member, Pierce was hired as "the guy who could tell us what Gen Y-ers were likely to think." This talent came in handy not only in targeting the youth demographic, but also in bringing a supply of beautiful young men to the estate, lured with vague promises of fame as the Internet's first TV stars.

BTW, all the above was big news back in the day, and only recently has resurfaced in the mainstream media, sans the Bitcoin connection, notwithstanding the comments therewithin. Brock Pierce was put on my radar via a prominent Bitcoiner who didn't want his name attach to my findings, ergo I now have the pleasure of being an untrustworthy bitcoiner, in spite of never taking one satoshi from a soul, exposing scams, et al. and saving fellow bitcoiners untold amount of money sans any payment for my efforts, nor seeking any, along with personally being ripped off 1,132 BTC by a staff member of BitcoinTalk, namely davout. But, if I had access to tens of millions of dollars to further Bitcoin and fucked underage boys in the ass, I would be the champion.

Utter motherfuckin' madness!

Eventually, a number of these acolytes would file lawsuits alleging they were raped and/or sexually abused at M&C by the three cofounders. Their charges are remarkably consistent—all claim they were bullied and drugged to coerce sexual compliance, and in some cases, threatened with loaded guns. When the plaintiffs filed civil suits against Collins-Rector, Shackley, and Pierce, the three suddenly disappeared with what remained of their fortune—turning up two years later living in a villa in Spain. They were arrested by local authorities, who uncovered "an enormous collection of child porn," according to Spanish police reports. In their absence, the plaintiffs were awarded default judgments in the amount of $4.5 million, but have collected only a small fraction of that. And while Collins-Rector is living it up in London—taking his young friends to lunch at Gordon Ramsay's restaurant in Claridge's hotel, according to the Sun—Pierce has recently been lauded yet again as a New Economy genius for his role in a fast-growing Internet venture that's drawn praise from the likes of Fortune and CNN.

The company built a space-age headquarters in Santa Monica, furnished with $1,800 chairs and a state-of-the-art newsroom that was put to little use. Instead, DEN's founders devoted most of their attention to the network's flagship show, Chad's World, which targeted gay and questioning teen boys. Filmed at the M&C estate, Chad's World was the founders' most personal creative effort. Co-written by Collins-Rector, produced by Pierce, and loosely based on Shackley's life, it featured one of the boys who would later accuse the DEN founders of molestation.

Imagine visiting Mount Coxs and no longer having to sit on blue balls (no pun intended), but comfortably on $1,800 chairs next to the hot tub that seats 20, albeit only 19 if the occupants are clothed.

My little sister moved from Lake Holiday because of the going ons of a registered sex offender neighbor to protect her then 7-year-old son, my nephew. Now, he's being counseled due to communications he had via an X-Box 360 he received for Christmas from a pervert.

My middle sister's 5-year-old grandson was molested by one of his little friend's father last year. Imagine hearing stories of how some strange man put his hand down a 5-year-old's pants from said lad. My sister was crying and shaking as she related the stories to me.

A police officer in Earlville, IL, has a habit of having sexual conversations with underage girls while making his rounds during his early evening shift. I learnt of this last fall from my niece, of which was relaid to her by her friends. The next day I went and spoke with the Chief of Police, making him aware of the going ons. The remedy? The officer in question now works days.

Now, in spite of my best efforts, I get to espouse Bitcoin with an accused pedophile on the board of The Bitcoin Foundation. I'm sure Bitcoin 100 would have no problem whatsoever getting the non-profit http://www.terredeshommes.org/ to start accepting bitcoin donation now that TBF has a person having a background which they despise on its board.

For my reward for bringing the above to everyone's attention, staff of BitcoinTalk awards me a negative trust thingie for echoing a major concern, let alone what's best for Bitcoin. Hell, it wouldn't surprise me the least that talks are underway as to how to ban that crazy fuck - me.

Not really keeping up with this, but in what way does a past accusation of paedophilia detract from a person's ability to help foster Bitcoin?  What is it about a supposed sexual attraction to young children or infants that causes people to abandon logic?

I have never had any sort of sexual relations with anyone under age --- ever in my life --- even when I was underage myself, and I certainly have no interest in doing so.    It is a horrific and despicable thing.    ( Even when I was under 18, my first boyfriend was 19, and I was 17.   We were together for 6 years. )

So, your first boyfriend was horrific and despicable?  I've not met this boyfriend but I highly doubt he is deserving of such a description.

Beginning of the end for the Bitcoin Foundation.

I was reading Brock Pierce's profile on Coindesk, and he's pretty much got no experience or significant standing in the Bitcoin industry at all. Founding a payment processor that doesn't seem to do any business does not count. Remind me how he got a candidacy nomination again? Wouldn't the Bitcoin Foundation corroborate that he is part of a viable Bitcoin business that, y'know, actually does some business?

The people at Bitcoin Foundation who made that decision have highly questionable motives for letting this non-entity onto the ballot list. Do we know who at the foundation is responsible?

Phinnaeus Gage,

My respect for you dropped 50% after reading this thread. Page 2 actually had some substance though.

While I don't condone rape, you were implying the mere accusation is enough to disqualify someone from board membership.

The Four Horsemen of the Infocalypse (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Horsemen_of_the_Infocalypse) are approximately "drug-dealers, money-launderers, terrorists, and pedophiles."

When terrorist financing became illegal after 2001, the reporting thresholds banks need to comply with KYC laws were largely dropped. Terrorism is scary precisely because it is so cheap. I think we can expect to see Bitcoin funded terrorism within 5 years. Note: I am excluding "economic terrorism", which as far as I can tell, includes any successful boycott

Did they silence a troll.... or a whistleblower ?

Old members shouldn't get preferential treatment if they break the rules. No one would be complaining if a new member got banned for swearing at a moderator. Sometimes people need to be made an example of in order to keep others in check.

You don't get banned for swearing at a moderator. MPOE-PR was asked to stop spamming/trolling by Maged, and rather than stopping, she swore at him. The act of insulting Maged itself didn't get her banned, it was the warning, and then lack of acknowledgement of the warning that got the ban.

If it is true, then will hurt the confidence of BTC in the short-term, and the price of course.

This was posted below that the flaw has been discussed elsewhere recently:

...but, in the same vein, we're talking about perception.

Would you let your children play in your neighbor's yard if he just got outta jail for ONLY being accused of pedophilia, or would let them play, defending your actions to your other neighbors via, "He was only accused!

The laws around pedophilia are messed up.

Quote from: Matt
However, it is not the case, at least in Canada, that child porn is illegal because its production is thought to harm children. Maybe that would be a sensible reason for it to be illegal, but the law isn't always sensible. R. v. Sharpe made it very clear that in Canada, child porn is illegal because people think that looking at it harms the person looking (by reinforcing "cognitive distortions") - whether anyone was harmed to produce it or not. Maybe you don't "buy" that justification - I don't, myself - but it is the reason for the current law whether you and I buy it or not.

If you read R. v. Sharpe carefully, you may notice something else interesting: the Court didn't even write that they think looking at child porn stimulates people to commit crimes. They wrote that Canadian society thinks that looking at child porn stimulates people to commit crimes, and just because Canadian society thinks so - and despite the evidence the Court heard that it isn't actually true - it becomes the basis for the law.
- In comments of "What Colour are your bits?" (http://ansuz.sooke.bc.ca/entry/23)
In reference to: R. v. Sharpe (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R._v._Sharpe)

Pedophilia in itself does not directly harm children. Acting on those feelings may harm children.
Quote from: Wikipedia
In popular usage, the word pedophilia is often incorrectly used to mean any sexual interest in children or the act of child sexual abuse.[3][6][7][8] For example, The American Heritage Stedman's Medical Dictionary states, "Pedophilia is the act or fantasy on the part of an adult of engaging in sexual activity with a child or children."[9] This common use sometimes conflates the sexual interest in and sexual contact with pubescent or post-pubescent minors.[10][11] Researchers recommend that these imprecise uses be avoided because although people who commit child sexual abuse sometimes exhibit the disorder,[6][12][13] many child sexual abuse offenders do not meet the clinical diagnosis standards for pedophilia and these standards pertain to prepubescents.[10][14][15]
- Wikipedia article on Pedophilia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedophilia)

I don't have any children myself, but to answer your question, I think I would consider allowing my children to play in the yard of an accused pedophile. However, I would take precautions such as making sure that the neighbor in question is never alone with the children. Children should also be informed that they should tell an adult if they are forced to do something that makes them uncomfortable. This is important because abusers are likely to be someone the child knows; rather than the "strangers" children are taught to be so wary of.

You're in rare form today. This thread is some funny shit.

I would keep my kid out of the yard of anyone even accused of butt buggering a kid. If he's innocent keeping the kid away will do no harm. If he's guilty keeping him away will ensure the kids asshole stays the same size and his mind isn't fucked for life. How can any of you want even an accused pedo in any position at the foundation? If you're innocent get an attorney, counter sue and clear your name but don't run to Spain with your perv friends.

I do agree with you, exploitation and sex-slavery are inevitable, but so is catching pedophiles and hitting them with a rubber dildo on the head or perhaps even killing them for entertainment.

I don't see what would stop you from offering pedophilia society cleansing services while making plenty of money from donations, sponsors etc in an anarcho-capitalistic society.

The whole beauty of anarcho-capitalism is that you can either advance or degenerate at your own will.

"Anarcho-capitalism" is an oxymoron (http://www.infoshop.org/AnarchistFAQSectionF). Even in a stateless society, markets imply coercion, deception, and violence. Real anarchists don't like these things.

A real anarcho-capitalistic society would look a lot like modern Somalia. Goddamn libertarians and their utopian capitalist pipedream myths.

Right, I would learn from infoshop.org about anarchism, not from Atlas Shrugged, Anatomy Of The State etc.

Somalia is far from anarcho-capitalism, all of the damage to society occurs when a state is acting with absolute power while still under the influence of coercion, deception and violence.

Bruno,


I have to say that I enjoy your posts and threads. You certainly do comprehensive work in finding out information. While I agree on the concept of "innocent until proven guilty", there are numerous signs in this whole scandal that can sway someone to think they did something wrong, such as the court settlements and fleeing to Spain. And for the masses that state they dont care, they should. Because it is now a situation of guilty by association.


I reposted this on Litecointalk. While I am very excited to see Bobby on the board, I was personally disappointed to see Brock on there.



Also as a side note I am disappointed in the BTC foundation as a whole. I do quite a bit of work for the Litecoin Association between education and charities and such (more of grassroots activities), but I honestly don't see the level of effort from the Bitcoin foundation. The sad part is that these are the folks that represent not only Bitcoin, but the crypto-currencies ecosystem as a whole.


Good luck to you, and know that you have my personal support in this. We need to weed out the scammers, cheaters, and criminals from our communities, and this is (allegedly  ::)) one of those situations.

Umm.. the state collapsed in Somalia. The coercion you see there is the result of a power vacuum.

The Somali Pirates got their start stopping what would have been illegal dumping if Somalia was still a functioning state.

Thanks, bud.

To be clear, I have no problem with BP's sexual preference, whether he is or is not... Furthermore, I had no issues with him having his hands in a myriad of Bitcoin-based ventures, small or large, especially with his gift of gab to further the cause. He could have done well financially, et al. but opted to go über-big too fast, thus putting himself, along with his concerns under the microscope. Sadly, for him, because in change of events, it'll get harder and harder for him to garner VC in the future due to the baggage he carries unless he discovers some creative way to rid it, for true VCs don't want to be connected with a pædo- since they have to answer to their investor base.

Brock was given an opportunity to pull from the race at TBF, but opted to stay in, only thinking about himself even though his past became forefront, not considering how his decision would effect Bitcoin. Since that relevancy wasn't taken into consideration of the further awareness of Bitcoin, it's damn safe to say that his other actions, of which we may or may not be privileged to, could be just as damning, if not worst, hence the pulling out the microscopes (plural, for trust me, I'm not the only one conducting a colonoscopy here).

We're already seeing the backlash of his decision to stay in the race, then win a TBF board seat - people are resigning from The Bitcoin Foundation. If you listen closely, you may hear $ & BTC being shuffled away from TBF and BP due to his inaction. But, if the sound isn't loud enough, perhaps zooming in with my colonoscope will better the din as I present info on one of DEN's principals' darling Bitcoin concerns.

Interview with Steve Beauregard CEO of GoCoin, on Bitcoin and Starting Up in Singapore: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElKEGGOcFbU#t=713

https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7354/14157148364_46a02e9741_b.jpg

Comments of the video above, below:

https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2923/14157021775_3b7d6e0f4e_b.jpg

The interview between Steve Beauregard of GoCoin and David Moskowitz of Coin Republic took place in front of a restaurant. The restaurant is located on Everton Road in Singapore, shown here via Google Maps:

https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5072/13970399038_8f0ce735b5_z.jpg

The same building is seen here in the following news article: http://www.newsterm.com/tag/singapore-police-probe-unnatural-death-of-american-ceo-of-bitcoin-trader/

http://media.jrn.com/images/660*415/b99219682z.1_20140306205528_000_gl055kr5.1-1.jpg

During the interview, Steven apologizes to David for not being able to order and pay for lunch via Bitcoin because the owner, the only person able to conduct the transaction with his smartphone, was outta pocket.

One would think that Steven, being a pretty smart guy and all. would have made prior arrangements with the restaurant owner so that such wouldn't have been the case. How could he have done that, you ask? Well, normally, that would be a fair question, but when you take into consideration that Steven lives directly above the restaurant since he first arrived in Singapore, I say the task would have been fairly simple, especially since it's all a dog-and-pony show to begin with. Steven knew that. David knew that. I knew it when I first viewed the video. Most others did as well. And, if you didn't, you know now.

But, no real harm, for that's how the game is played, so let's move on, but not too far, for we're not quite done with this Eventon Road address that has a nice restaurant, a nice pad on the second floor, and an office or two. In fact, it has two, for both First Meta and GoCoin share the same office. He had to live there, for GoCoin was still on a tight budget, just then obtaining its first round of VC funding as mentioned in the video.

If you're wondering who owns that First Meta entity, wonder no more, for I'm about to inform you - again: Autum Radtke (RIP).

Ms Autumn Radtke shared her work troubles during lunch with a business partner on Feb 25.

Early the next day, the 28-year-old chief executive of Singapore virtual currency exchange First Meta was found dead on the roof of a ground-floor rubbish collection point at a Cantonment Close Housing Board block.

"She was clearly stressed," said Mr Steve Beauregard, who had lunch with her. "She talked about... challenges with the business and I was trying to help her address some of her issues."

He had rented a room in her office-home at nearby Everton Road.

News of her death was reported in The Wall Street Journal on February 27 but went global on Wednesday after several overseas publications suggested that her death, which they called an apparent suicide, was linked to troubles with the digital currency bitcoin.

Last November, its value first crossed the US$1,000 (S$1,270) mark. But one of the world's largest bitcoin exchanges, Mt.Gox, collapsed late last month, causing bitcoin values to fall by 20 per cent.

But Mr Beauregard and friends told The Straits Times they did not think this was linked to Ms Radtke's death. Police have classified it as an unnatural death.

Ms Radtke, an American, had told The Straits Times in January that First Meta was not a bitcoin exchange, although it accepted bitcoins as payment for virtual currencies like those used in some games.

Mr Beauregard founded Singapore bitcoin payment platform GoCoin, which helps First Meta.

Mr Wayne Soh, business development manager at Plug and Play Singapore, a technology incubator that invested $500,000 with the National Research Foundation in First Meta in 2012, said Ms Radtke seemed increasingly stressed about the firm's business.

"We've always told her business is business and she shouldn't take it personally," he said. First Meta's revenue grew 20 to 30 per cent from 2012 to last year, he added. "She was saying she missed home. She's been in Singapore for the past two years."

He said she returned to the United States at least two to three times a year.

Ms Radtke joined First Meta in January 2012 as chief executive. Friends said she was a helpful and smart woman who had a positive impact on them.

Police said on Thursday that initial investigations suggested no suspected foul play. Toxicology tests are being carried out to determine her cause of death. (http://news.asiaone.com/news/singapore/ceo%E2%80%99s-death-%E2%80%98not-linked-bitcoin-plunge%E2%80%99)

So, where was her body found, you ask?

http://www.jsonline.com/business/singapore-police-investigate-death-of-bitcoin-mogul-from-milwaukee-area-b99219682z1-248744511.html

Quote
Radtke was found lying motionless outside an apartment tower, the spokesman said. The building is not far from her home and office in a historic district of Singapore.

Quote
Friends and colleagues said Radtke was wrestling with professional and personal pressures, including running a start-up that was struggling to gain traction.

"She had a phenomenal network of highly successful people around her, and here she is running this little exchange and it just isn't taking off in the way anybody had hoped," Steve Beauregard, CEO and founder of GoCoin, a start-up that provided bitcoin-related services to First Meta, told Reuters.

Beauregard rented a room in Radtke's large Singapore home/office and was among the last people to see her alive.

Steven and Autumn lived together. Come morning of Feb. 26, 2014, Autumn woke up, walked two blocks, went up to the 25th floor of a high-rise building, looked down and said to herself, "Landing on that garbage dump is a great idea!" Then she jumped, with her body discovered around 7 AM local time. It was a Wednesday.

Quote
Douglas Abrams, director of First Meta, denied the company was struggling or up for sale, and said Radtke "did a great job as CEO." But he said selling the company always remained an option and there had been plans to save money by moving out of its current office space.

That last quote is extremely odd, considering how much cheaper rent would be saved when it was housing two people and two entities, both and both flush with VC capital of various degrees.

Quote
Last month she linked to an article on entrepreneurs suffering depression, commenting above the link: "everything has its price."

That's a good segue to touch upon the VC GoCoin received in January, 2014.

GoCoin received $500,000 USD, and what did they get and do with the money? First, they got 1,000+ views on one YouTube video uploaded last September, along with its 5 comments shown above. I suggest you review those comments to see what they consist of, along with the sources. BTW, that's the highest view count of any GoCoin video on YouTube.

Second, $25,000 USD was doled out to...wait for it...The Bitcoin Foundation for its Gold Membership account. (for those jacking-off, apologies for having it now go limp)

Third, they get 1,551 followers on their Twitter account: https://twitter.com/GoCoin.

Fourth, they get 419 Likes on their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/GoCoiner.

Fifth, they get 7 followers and 2,188 views on their Google+ account: https://plus.google.com/101441622651405485569/about

<I see you're getting nice and hard, or wet, if such is the case, but sadly if you don't bust a nut soon, you're about to lose it again.>

If you viewed the video GoCoin interview I linked above, you may recall Steven mentioning about a dozen customers they had during Beta with their first round of VC. The following are eight of those customers:

Since Brock Pierce help founded KnC Miner, I'm curious as to how much of GoCoin's VC they got to pay the $100,000 USD for...

In five short years, Bitcoin mining has inspired cutting edge innovation and breathed new life into the silicon industry. Leading the pack is our newest Platinum member, KnCMiner.

Currently, it's TBF's only Platinum Member

I believe it's safe to say that Brock Pierce got at least two votes, one from KnC, above, and GoCoin, below.

12 Likes in the course of a week is what you, too, can get with a $500,000 USD VC. My bad! I just noticed that they'll earn that back and then some with their 18-24 year old customer base, being that they're probably mostly white males living in their parent's...

KnC Miner, saving GoCoin's money maker for last. They're setting pretty mining away with their 7,000+ bitcoin mining rig pharm in some helicopter hanger next door to Facebook's data center in northern Sweden. If only they had an exchange to unload all them bitcoins they mine. Any suggestions?

In general this is just boring stuff mostly about sour grapes from somebody who procured a fake ID to get into one of those parties and afterwards feels dirty and abused when their career wasn't boosted.

I was just adding a little humor at JG's expense, with the latter part included to make you guys think.

I've read and seen more that my share of the going-ons in the gay-pedo (nothing against the normal gay community) communities around Hollywood and elsewhere, to know that somehow Brock Pierce was not front-and-center during the DEN parties is beyond disbelief. No heterosexual hangs around paedos for any length of time, let alone years after leaving the States to reside in a country (Spain) having laxer age laws for consensual sex, boys or girls.

Now, they're in the Bitcoin community seeing a money-grab opportunity, under the auspices of embracing the general-consensus political belief - Libertarian, et al.

We wouldn't want paedos as neighbors, but having them as spokespersons for Bitcoin and directing its path is utter madness.

Would you let your children play in your neighbor's yard if he just got outta jail for ONLY being accused of pedophilia, or would let them play, defending your actions to your other neighbors via, "He was only accused! Until he's convicted, STFU and let my children play inside and outside his home!"
What the fuck ever happened to "innocent until proven guilty"?

If you spread all this bullshit before anyone is convicted of anything, you're just as bad as the mainstream media who attacked Dorian.

Also, where the hell have you been? Demonizing threats to the status quo by calling them sexual deviants is an age old trick of the power elite. See Julian Assange.

Let that sink in for a little while.

I mean c'mon.

Innocent until proven guilty would apply if the guy wasn't a homosexual, with a shady record of talking about renting abused "boys" on forums and he didn't move to Spain with a convicted pedophile after being accused.

I have been to Pattaya 10+ times in the last 2 years...with my wife and 2 kids. We usually stay here: http://www.centarahotelsresorts.com/centaragrand/cmbr/ (http://www.centarahotelsresorts.com/centaragrand/cmbr/)

We have friends who work in Pattaya, both gay and straight friends... What people who have never spent time there do not understand is this....

- All working females (escorts) are referred to as girls, whether they are 21 or 41
- All working males (escorts) are referred to as boys, whether they be 21 or 41


There is 'walking street' for the straight men and couples to drink/dance and 'boys town' for gay people.

Most people commenting about the reference to 'boys' have probably never been to Thailand. Pattaya is not what it was 20 years ago. Its actually a pleasant resort to visit, if you don't want to see the sex side of it, you just have to avoid a few streets.

The internet can spread allegations like wildfire. Its pretty sad when innocent until proven guilty doesn't apply. Also pretty shocking are some of the comments online regarding him being homosexual.

The comments about gays is appalling in this thread. Some people I guess like to live in the 1800's and dont understand nature at all.


As far as your other comment someone else said it best in another thread I recently read. TBF is a bonfire and they just threw more gas on it. Brock has a very shady past and it does no good what so ever to have him as a "face" for Cryptos. I think (at least thats how I feel) that this is the main concern.


Just like Charlie S and Mark K. Mark is just a big bag of cluster F with empty gox and charlie tried to help someone avoid fincen laws and regulations like a dumbass. We as a crypto community as a whole dont need this type of baggage.

Just a little reminder - a faggot is just as bad as pedophile. Sexual perversion is diversion from norm, no matter is it homosexualism, pedophilia, necrophilia or sado-masochism. It is fine for me to use software that is associated with pedophile as long as the source and all other things are double checked. Becase faggots are also quirky in all other aspects of life, including software writing. For example Mozilla Firefox 29.0 Australis interface is made by faggots.

I think it is normal for 22 year old boy to want to have sex with 15 year old girl. But it is absolutely bad for 22 year old man to want to assfuck another man. The first case is pedophilia and second is a faggotry. Why it is norm to accept gayfags as a norm and demonize a pedophile? And why both 22yo and 15yo is the same as 45yo man doing babyfuck to toddler?

I think someone is hiding in the closet, why so scared of gay people - something you cant admit:)

Or he's just an asshole  ::)

Spam, as in email/newsletter? If that's the case, I wonder why I wasn't contacted prior to the election.

Anybody have the tx showing KnC paying for their $100K USD Platinum Membership. While you're at it, hunt down the $25K USD that GoCoin paid for their Gold Membership. (Ironic: Brock Pierce once earn $25K X times over to sell Gold, now pays to buy Gold)

Hey guys. First, there's a difference between pedophile and ephebophile. Almost no one is a pedophile. Probably a majority is ephebophiles, even if they don't admit it. And second, I'm going to let you in on a little secret that apparently most of the world doesn't know about: teenagers are horny and like having sex.

“It’s weird, like everyone knows there’s this weird thing going on between this 40-year-old guy and this 24-year-old guy, and this 16-year-old boy,” a former DEN executive told ZDNet in 2000. The former executive also thought there “was something wrong” with the show Chad’s World. “I could see a show about college men for a gay audience, but these were boys.”
The suits that Egan filed this month state the parties included drugs, alcohol, and sex, and there was a rule visitors couldn’t wear clothing or swimsuits in the pool area.

I for one appreciate the information being put on the table from go.  Don't want to claim this guy is guilty obviously if the evidence is not there.  I will say I had no clue who he was until I'd seen a video of him and was very impressed with his knowledge of cryptography.  Then I seen the new video of him addressing this topic and was blown away to find out it was him.

Don't forget, Brock Pierce was the executive producer for Chad's World, based on a true story known to everybody intelligent enough to see it except the EP. True or not, some people claim that Reagan got away with what he did (whatever that what is) because he was an actor.

Take a good look at the image above (link provided), published on Sep 7, 2013 on YouTube. It's an interview, conducted by M Jude Belanger, of Steve Beauregard of GoCoin.

Notice, that in over 8 long months how many views GoCoin has to date - 41 - with my view making it 42 (the answer to...), of which was not tallied yet due to the way YT does things.

You telling me that with the $550K USD VC they received last November, GoCoin couldn't even get people to search YouTube for their venerable brand, let alone juice links from various social media/websites. Owen Van Natta and the other merry investors probably viewed it once, leaving about a half dozen potential customers jacking-off while waiting to sign up on GoCoin once they go beta from their future (speaking past tense) 7,000 square foot/3-year-lease office in the historic district of some high-cost-of-living city in California.

I mean, think about it, all. Steve Beauregard took time outta his busy schedule of VC hunting to conduct this video with a Serial YouTuber (thought you'd like that), given the reach (no pun intended) Jude has, as seen here: https://www.youtube.com/user/mjudebelanger/videos. I mean, look at those numbers, all! This guy is a YouTube Guru to have so many videos published, so many views, and so many subscribers, it's no wonder Steve "I-can't-believe-she-killed-herself" Beauregard plucked him straight outta the rainbow to get GoCoin's message out to potential bitcoiners.

My guess is that the main reason Jude has sooooooooo many followers on his YouTube channel is because he's happily ensconced with a former child actor, Glenn Scarpelli (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mz3cSwEA-A), rank 95 points below Brock "I'm-not-gay" Pierce, here: http://top-topics.thefullwiki.org/LGBT_people_from_the_United_States

Chad's World to hit the Internet this month

By Jeff Walsh, Oasis Editor

Former teen actor Brock Pierce, whom you might remember from his starring role in First Kid (which also starred Sinbad as the security guard protecting the President's son), is moving from in front of the camera to behind the scenes as the producer for Chad's World.

Chad's World can potentially change the cultural landscape for queer teens online, moving us beyond the printed pages (not that we at Oasis think there's a problem with that medium, mind you) to target marketed television shows. Episodes of the show, which come out every two weeks, will be available as large downloads or streaming video. They will also be available for purchase on DVD, CD-ROM and video tape [on the shelves of your church's library].

So, what exactly is Chad's World? Here's how Pierce, 17, and living on his own [not living alone] in Los Angeles, Calif., who produces the show for the Digital Entertainment Network, describes it.

"Chad's World is a show on the Internet targeted for gay teenagers. I would say it's the first and only show created for gay teenagers," he said. "A boy named Chad starts out living in Michigan. His best friend, Paul, is trying to decide if he should come out or not to his parents. He decides he's going to come out to his parents, and his parents are right-wing type [fuckin' Reagan lovers], Midwest-type parents, and they don't take it very well."

Paul decides to take his life after his parents say they'd rather have a dead son than a gay son.

"The reason we put him there is to basically say that there are other options, because it is a big deal that people face," Pierce said. "The parents of Paul blame it on Chad. They say 'it's all you fault. He's like this because of you.' So, he decides he's going to move out with his older brother, and his older brother's partner, Jim, that live in California, in a mansion-type setting." [filmed in the house where a real Chad, Brock and Marc live, and sit in the hot tub naked with their invited guess, namely...wait for it...queer underage boys]

Chad's new life in California is the setting for the series. [and the writers work hundreds of hours to write the pilot, but tossed it because it sucked, opting to pen a true account - SERIOUSLY!]

"He's out here, and it's him dealing with the coming-of-age, sexuality, everything," he said. "Anything all teenagers will face and trying to decide whether he's gay, straight, bi, he doesn't know, but whatever it is, it's OK to be whoever you are." [or we pull the trigger, now drink the wine, snort the coke, and trust us]

Pierce's own sexuality is also rather fluid.

"I'm not, at the moment, seeing anyone, so whether it's a girl or a guy... I don't want to eliminate myself from seeing anyone, because I like all people," he said.

As a point of clarification, despite not wanting to give any more detail, he said that the issues in Chad's World are not foreign to him.

"I can say I'm very familiar with the issues gay teenagers face, very familiar," Pierce said.


Pierce is willing to come out regarding the direction of his acting career, however.

"As an actor, I'm retired. I think I gave it up. Producing was the next step in the evolution of my career," he said. "I wouldn't say I was ever a great actor, it was just the drive I had. I wanted to do it. And it worked."

Chad's World will initially have eight shows, which will launch sometime in the middle of this month. An actor named Brian Stark plays Chad (pictured at right). The show will be available from the Digital Entertainment Network's site, but the plan is to expand the show and grant other Web sites "affiliate licenses" to rebroadcast the show. Each episode will include commercials as part of the transmission. [rebroadcasting rights, episodes, commercials - fuckin' so genius, they should copyright the idea so that the network television doesn't steal it from underneath them]

Pierce said he's the right age and at the right time to launch such a show. [too bad the rocket was facing downward, or up some guess' ass in the hot tub]

"The Internet is my era. It's my generation that does it better than any generation," he said. "When I grew up is when it started." [once completed, I want to go to Disney, then Spain, then mine and sell gold, then fuck something else up]

---

The Web site for the Digital Entertainment Network is at http://www.den.net/. The site will also do other programming for gay men and other target markets. [heterosexual] Pierce can be reached at darren@den.net

Darren? Now, where have I seen that name before? Ahhhhhh! I remember. Here: http://www.crunchbase.com/organization/gocoin

To quote Tom Mabe:

"Look, look, if gay is your way, that is OK.  I still know there are a lot of you gay people in that closet.  Not saying I haven't thought about it myself, you know?  Go out to Las Vegas or something, buy a couple of drinks.  Cute little Mexican midget."

I'll be Goddamn if I'm going to sit here and take it up the ass from some motherfuckin' accused pedophile lying about his sexuality. If he willfully lies about that, prey tell what the fuck else is he holding back from the Bitcoin community? The general consensus is a motherfuckin' shitload of info.

I do find your posts to be intriguing but the amount of speculation can be a little off putting and makes me want to spend more time diving deeper into the facts to determine what is what, from my perspective.  Keep bringing the food for thought to the table.   ;)

Everybody who has posted in this thread is a pedophile.

Now look at all those accused pedophiles.

You should all leave Bitcoin right now to prevent any further besmirching of its otherwise excellent and untarnished reputation.

Otherwise I'll be hereby submitting my resignation to these forums. That'll teach you guys.

Good move. We should have a website make an article about this.
What about coindesk?

You no like Newsweek?
I haven't really used Newsweek. Is it good?
While I mentioned coindesk, the article came up here today: http://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-foundation-members-resign-following-controversial-appointment/

People shouldn't have to post their private lives to try to defend their innocence.
If people think someone has broken the Law.
Report it to the police,    anything else is heresay and malicious speculation.
If and Until they are convicted in a court of Law, they are Innocent.

Because the court always has a fair ruling and not rotten to the core and houses the very same corrupt pedophiles and criminals.

Providing the evidence here so every single person can draw his own conclusions is the free market.

Innocent until proven Guilty in Court by a Jury of your Peers 
with the option for an appeal(s)

Or trial by media, internet and Mob rule.

Take your choice people.

We aren't punishing him though, just speculating on the fact and making decisions on whether to make use of his services or have business relations with him.

Before you kill my forum access (or take me up on my offer), here is something I want to point out to those who thought this was a democratic process:

- I have been made aware that Brock Pierce  / KNC (essentially the same thing), bought platinum access 1 day before the cutoff date for the elections.  In my understanding this has been the sole reason he was able to get elected.  Basically he bought his membership.  For the sake of transparency, I urge you to post the voting results by member group (platinum, gold, silver), and how much effect that had.  To be honest I think we should at a minimum be entitled to those.  Especially cause in the past (not sure about today), platinum members were able to select a board seat just between themselves.  And there is just 1 platinum member today (KNC).

Also, it is extremely disappointing to see no reaction from the foundation so far to such a serious matter, and the first thing on the agenda is to kill our voice (forum access).

Charlie Shrem, simply charged, steps down for the betterment of Bitcoin.

Brock Pierce, known of his home by his peers in Hollywood at the time as a great place to have sex with underage boys naked in the hot tub, sees no issues with taking Charlie's board seat for the betterment of Bitcoin.

Now that he has the seat, TBF members are resigning so that they don't mistakenly sit where Brock just sat.

People have already proposed to pay the $100k platinum fee on the Bitcoin Foundation under the circumstance that Brock Pierce is removed and in addition to add rules to ensure something like this doesn't happen again.

An "accused"

Any one can accuse anyone of anything.

There is a vast difference between accused and found guilty in a court of law.

It's called proof beyond reasonable doubt.

Even then a justice system sits within the frame work of an election system that can set the laws subject to a constitution that usually bares a higher standard of difficulty to change.

Such hyperbole and sensationalism evaporates in the light of reasoned thinking.

This just in: http://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=%2Fm%2F0f0vkm%2C%20Marc%20Collins-Rector%2C%20Chad%20Shackley%2C%20Bitcoin%20Foundation&date=1%2F2014%2012m&cmpt=q
That spike in the interest about Marc Collins-Rector was generated by Gawker Media sites with the story about similar lawsuit against Bryan Singer.

I'll drop some links for the interested people:

This "pedophile" in the title of this thread is more like "statutory rapist" story from the real Hollywood "casting couch" tales (or in this case more like "casting pool"): exchange of sex favors in the hope of furthering ones career in Hollywood (or nearby Santa Monica). In general this is just boring stuff mostly about sour grapes from somebody who procured a fake ID to get into one of those parties and afterwards feels dirty and abused when their career wasn't boosted.
