What do you do ?
I laugh and regret not being part of the long con.

Also in this future BFL's ASICs were everything they claimed and BFL is a model of efficiency when it comes to delivering customers orders.

I will have dumped most of my profits from pirate into asics and will be a happy camper.  I've already taken more out than I put in.  Also, I will probably delete this post soon since I don't want to be trapped in another FUDStorm.

And yes, I've copyrighted that term.  If you use it, please send 0.001 BTC to my signature address.

I think FUDStorm has prior usage but good luck with that ;)

My prediction is we see a 2nd wave of cons, crowd sourcing funds for bounty hunters lawyers etc etc to bring in pirate (pirate will be organizing the funds under a new identify).

Can we say late 2013 please?  Just so we can also laugh at Vandroiy some more? :)

Sure, we are just speculating / pissing in the wind with open mouths here :)

Yum!

At least by then his rates will have gone down or he'd have liabilities in excess of all the bitcoins that will ever be in circulation, and from where I'm sitting from that wouldn't be very sustainable  :P

Bet people would still "invest" in pass-throughs though  :D

Me personally? I just regret not starting something like this myself - right now he's totally free to cut and run with over a million dollars  :D

In the big picture, that really isn't much money. If I were entrusted with others' money, it would require much more than several millions to make me cut and run.

Well the amount owed to bitcoinmax alone is >$1 million.
So total pirate exposure on the forums, including people's personal accounts, all the GLBSE instruments etc must be at least a few million dollars.

What if you knew that you could just start this up again year after year, thus making one million tax-free dollars per year?

I would have to take my end of the bargain and publish a fake paper on the Riemann Hypothesis. Other than that I would probably buy the devices up for pennies on the dollar after BTC prices crashed to sub USD.

What if we knew what he looked like and where he lives?  What if we knew about a minor run-in with a specific police department?  He would have to go on the run, and if he tried again he wouldn't be able to provide anywhere near the level of information that he has currently.

With a million dollars, it costs practically nothing to buy a new identity with a full background. The only problem is getting that first million, and he has.

Is there some clues on whatever he cashed out enough BTC for USD? Or how else did he obtain it?

end 2013? Then we have still a long time to party at 3300%. Bring back the punch bowl!

BTW I would bet that the euro will cess to exist as it is before that date.
What a world of pyramids of ponzis we are in.

So you mean to tell me that all this patriot act bullshit is just creating a hassle for innocent people and not doing a damn thing against criminals?  Damn you George Bush.

You're right, but I'm not sure pirate's so unattached that he can just drop his current life.

Damn it... I forgot to delete my first post and got sucked in :(.

You have to pretend BFLs claim work out.

Yep.  If there is a rule laid out in the OP, you have to follow it or risk being moderated.

I apologize, I never saw any guideline for such. I just figured in off-topic anything goes.

By mid 2013, I will be very rich even if he runs.

Threads on off-topic still have topics. Just not a topic suitable for any other sub-forum ;)
Now I'll be banned for posting an off-topic reply  :'(

I doubt he'll try a fake "crowd source for lawyer funds"

to do that you need a lawyer, a real one. That's something that can be verified and real lawyers have some skin in the game so without a guarantee of at least tens of millions there is no way a real lawyer would be the front for a con.
The pay off, to risk ratio is too low.


There are plenty of other scams he/they could run though.
