Title: Re: Bitfinex Is This The Owner? Post by: QuestionAuthority on January 19, 2015, 01:48:49 PM I kinda thought most Bitcoin online business owners would look like this

Title: Re: Bitfinex Is This The Owner? Post by: OmegaStarScream on January 19, 2015, 06:22:25 PM We musn't judge on people on how they looks like ::)
Title: Re: Bitfinex Is This The Owner? Post by: Crypto9er on January 19, 2015, 06:33:14 PM Who cares how he looks like as long as his platform is running without issues..? Title: Re: Bitfinex Is This The Owner? Post by: kolloh on January 19, 2015, 06:34:56 PM I say judge the business on how it runs rather than who runs it.

Title: Re: Bitfinex Is This The Owner? Post by: Eric Mu on August 06, 2016, 12:54:14 PM Has this been confirmed?
Title: Re: Bitfinex Is This The Owner? Post by: gentlemand on August 06, 2016, 01:25:34 PM It has always been confirmed as far as I know.
And he's the type of guy who thought pirateat40 was a wonderful human being - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=101167.msg1108019#msg1108019 Title: Re: Bitfinex Is This The Owner?

He looks like Mark Zuckerberg but on a hunting trip for bears ;) Title: Re: Bitfinex Is This The Owner? Post by: macedoniantable on August 06, 2016, 01:34:43 PM Is he on the forum?
Maybe he will tell you to take down his profile pic and linkdin profile for security reasons. ::) Title: Re: Bitfinex Is This The Owner?

He hasn't been on here for a few months. If I were him I probably wouldn't be too into interacting with other users on here right now. Title: Re: Bitfinex Is This The Owner? Post by: QuestionAuthority on August 06, 2016, 02:36:13 PM Why is it that all Bitcoin business owners look like their stoned?
Title: Re: Bitfinex Is This The Owner? Post by: onlinedragon on August 06, 2016, 02:59:59 PM If that is really the person behind Bitfinex then it's strange you represent yourself that way. With such picture how could people ever think he is really serious with his company. Not really a way how you attract other people on LinkedIn.
Title: Re: Bitfinex Is This The Owner? Post by: Sir Alpha_goy on August 06, 2016, 03:02:42 PM You would all be wise to look up the symbolic symbolism of the raccoon.
Very fitting explanation for the unfortunate events that just took place. Title: Re: Bitfinex Is This The Owner? Post by: owlcatz on August 07, 2016, 08:09:29 PM https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/bitfinexs-ceo-seemingly-tried-start-ponzi-scheme/

Also defended Pirat40's scheme in its heyday. Still, I think he has an ownership interest in Bitfinex and was one of its founders, but I don't think he is a C-level executive. My recollection is that he used to be CEO in the very early days. Past that, I don't know anything. Title: Re: Bitfinex Is This The Owner?

Mircea Popescu outed him on Trilema. All the same scumbags keep coming back to fleece the Bitcoin community over and over again. Bitcoin is becoming the longest running con in human history.
