Phin - your posts always seem detailed and interesting, but I can almost never just quickly read your posts once and figure out what the heck you're trying to say. You need a "WTF does this mean?" sentence or two at the end of your posts.

Apologies, bud. Would you accept, "My dog ate it!"?

What I was eluding to is that the same group backing OKCoin had major hand in the production of the documentary The Rise and Rise of Bitcoin, especially if you consider...

...and the philosophy of the Mross family.

Damn, Google's off by a mile! I'm looking at just a tad over an hour, 3 posts, sans the one above (#4), and 3 authors, confirmed via the cache: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:XEK2HC-B2lcJ:https://bitcointalk.org/index.php%3Ftopic%3D626554.0+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us

I'm goin' need the following explained to me.

Here's an interesting quote from Gatekeeper, who usually posts in the Speculation section, but this was in one of FinShaggy's threads, ironically, Fin being the last channel that Autumn Radtke subscribed to on YouTube:

Hey Phinnaeus, your posts are usually better than this. This one is full of holes ;)


Are you suggesting they are related? From what I see, they are not
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tribeca_Film_Festival
http://tribecavp.com/


Same question. Are you suggesting they are related? Nicholas Mross was born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA and this Micheal Mross is a german writer. Do you have a source showing their relationship, cos I couldn't find one.


So are 3 other companies I found:
http://careyco.com/contact-us/
http://www.2cv.com/where-and-who.aspx
http://www.nodepression.com/page/contact-1
Do you think these companies are also in on the conspiracy? ;D

From the material posted, don't see what the connection between seed & spark and the film Rise and Rise of Bitcoin is.

Phinnaeus, check:

Is this a pedophile nazi club trying to take control over bitcoin domains and source?

We really should start an official voting against BF as a representation for the bitcoin community and for a new team of known and respected bitcoin core devs.

Phinn...if you don't mind me asking, what do you do as a career or day job?  You are a serious True Detective!

I buy and sell barn wood. Seriously! Josh, of BFL, even claimed once that I don't buy it, but steal it - at night.  ::) I also deal in relics antiques, albeit not as much as I used to when I used to set up next to Mike Wolfe at the Nashville Flea Market back in the day. Hell, I used to pick from Frank Fritz, who sat up behind Mike under the same pavilion next to the office on antique alley.

Wow really? That's not what I expected at all, thats really cool. I was expecting something to do with computer science or finance...

I'm probably one of the few here that got a perfect 800 on their SAT math section (732/English/comprehensive). I've became a better writer to express myself via Google and this forum.

BTW, the ROI on one board feet of reclaimed lumber is 200-500% -  profit!

Is this what Mark Karpeles was trying to relay with his coded(?) Batman logo link in that Pastebin interview?

Dark Knight Rises: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1345836/


For sake of argument, let's say that Mark Karpeles is a joker that likes to speak in riddles. We have Dark, as in Let There be Dark; Catwoman, as in Mark has a cat; Bane, as in Tibane, his cat's name; Satoshi Nakamoto is an enigma; Brink, as in a money transporter, and starts with the letter B; Gotham City, as in http://www.gothamgs.com. Add, whatever else I left out. (odd, that Bane was capitalized) <perhaps, this assessment is too tinfoilly>

How do you like the NSA and NIST connection?

I'd love to know what this is about as it seems interesting but I can't work out what is going on.

Just posting links and addresses and stuff doesn't really work if you don't know what connections are being made. How about an introduction, middle and conclusion in your posts PG?

Phinn, I think you have the making of one serious book.  Although you might have to change the flow somewhat.

I used to do very complex investigations for an unnamed agency.  When I was first starting out I learned some valuable lessons.  The first lesson was to write my investigations in as plain English as possible.  In other words, don't write it like you're trying to explain it to your colleagues, write it like you are trying to explain it to the common person and (jury, prosecutor).  People and lawyers get lost in the technical jargon, innuendos, and implications.  You have to spell each point out and in chronological order, state specifically how they relate to the case, and what these facts have to do with the investigation itself.  I mastered this simple concept and the agency still uses some of these principles today to teach their young Agents how to 'splain things in a report.

I like reading your posts and I think you're on to something interesting, but I'll admit, my SAT scores weren't as good as yours.  I do have some trouble connecting the dots.  I hope you're archiving all of this information somewhere, too.  Seems you've connected not just a few actors, but an entire underground culture of some sick stuff. 

With this said I have to question your motivation behind this exposure.  And I pray it is not what I think it is.  Keep up the good work.

A clear summary would be a great idea, and you could edit in updates when they are important.

[EDITED]

Alright, I've tried to get the ball rolling here for all you JA-come-latelies.

Take a stroll over here, and you'll find most of PG's evidence nicely gathered:

Thank you so kindly, jc01480, for the welcoming advice. I'll try to heed it.

I didn't really meant to brag about my SAT scores but, unfortunately, that's all the former educational cred I have, and if it wasn't for the shingle being lost due to Katina, I would've had it framed. Fuckin' HAARP!  ::) ::) ::)

I usually do include more details when I pen an OP, but since it seemed so clear to this rod-in-head mind of mine, I thought it would also be clear to the reader, but I now do see some holes as I look in the mirror while removing the rod.

Tribeca Film Festival, where the premier of The Rise and Rise of Bitcoin was first shown, aside, the rest of the connections were made via one investor of OKCoin.

One has to admit that the following does seem a little creepy: http://www.bidnessetc.com/21947-news-intercontinentalexchange-group-nyse-ice-plans-to-spin-off-euronext-before-summer/

Great! A buffalo in a china shop. Try not to break anything.  ;D

BTW, I FTFY. You're slippin'!  ;)

Thanks, bud, for your efforts.

Since I sold my Alu hat 4 years ago during the scrap metal boom I can't really relate to the conspiratory (is that a word?) aspects of your daily ramblings. Something that has become clear to me however is the following: where ever the main actors in this opera set foot lots of people lose lots of money. Keep it up.

Speaking of losing money, how does a fairly new entity - Tribeca Venture Partners - invest in 41 other entities, Coinsetter among them, sans no known source of revenue of their own, and just happens to be on the DOJ's RADAR, hence the subpoena.

Color me confused, but did, or did not, Andreessen Horowitz receive a subpoena?

If it were a gov't agency behind it all, would they have received the subpoena?

I penned DOJ, when I meant http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_State_Department_of_Financial_Services, supervising approximately 4400 entities, with assets of about $6.2 trillion.

How the hell were they able to subpoena entities outside their jurisdiction? The DFS subpoenaed investors of Bitcoin entities, which means that anytime in the future they could subpoena any person holding bitcoins for the same reason, solely on a whim to briefly disrupt ones lives.

Surely, they had just cause to subpoena Tribeca Venture Partners, didn't they, otherwise they wouldn't have been on the list consisting of ONLY 22 entities.

BTW, the DFS was newly formed in Q3, 2011, just in time for the stocking of shelves with Batman costumes for Halloween.

Damn, Benjamin Lawsky looks like a cross between Odo and a Hollywood director.

Quick aside, possibly...


In the same vain, it could be quasi-theorized that one can't conduct bitcoin transactions sans the NSA, regardless of the traction.

I duly hope you're not part of the Paul Snow clan, bud.

this is a bit embarrassing. but i read the OP and skimmed through the thread. and i can't quite figure out -- what is the connection/conspiracy you are trying to point out here? apparently it is going right over my head!!  ???

Apologies for the confusion, hence seeing if I can add further to it.

Just a cancer located in your home state, one that any proud Texan knows how to take of - sans violence. I've live in Houston, thus knowing first-hand how such can be takin' care of. I'm also probably the only person on this forum that's been to President George Herbert Walker Bush's Houston home.

Create a currency less regulated. {dog shit} Here come the flies - Add = Bug spray scenario comes to mind.

The "Eye in the sky" is watching all the transactions.

Soon the bubble will burst for all criminal activity on crypto currencies. {How do you kill the flies, if you do not know where they are}

Now how is that for conspiracy theory  :D

Keep it above board guys... We are being watched. {Now I have you paranoid}

Hope they do not get to my wallet. {Cannot afford to loose my $2 worth of Bitcoins}

Interresting info, and good reading thanks.

This thread has spun off pretty far already, and I'm still struggling to get what the connections were supposed to be in the first place.

How are Tribeca Venture Partners, "The Rise and Rise of Bitcoin", Seed and Spark and Michael Mross connected at all? I'm not seeing the links in the material posted.

Edit: And I certainly don't see what the mmnews.de article has to do with any of this, apart from being an article on Mtgox and Bitcoin.
