Goat, I apologize for being a douche to you..... I only NOW realize that you are getting fucked just like everyone else, or perhaps worse from the requests of Trendon.

Thanks, it really does suck getting fucked up the ass from someone you trusted...

..and assholes such as myself don't add to the 'discomfort' I am sure.

I HONESTLY thought his game was Realestate/Loans etc in the REAL world and I fell for it hook, line and sinker.

Where are you located Bitlane?  out of sheer curiousity......

goat, thanks for posting that.

and now i realize why certain people kissed so much ass to pirate and will continue to do so
in hopes of getting a few btc back.

i have no idea why pirate thinks he can "be safe" and "sound" after all this. it is like he has no
conception what people are willing to do to get pay back one way or another. I have seen some
messed up things over so little let alone this.

3-5 million is untraceable funds makes for a pretty easy disappearance. 

He could go live in Jamaica the rest of his life and none of his lenders could ever find him. 

um. you really think someone who does not give a fuck will just let that go? will not terrorize
anything related to pirate in any shape or form? i guess if pirate does not give a crap about his
family and friends.. sure that is possible.

this idiot is still on irc spouting off nonsense like it is a game. almost like he is oblivious to repercussions
and consequences. to be so dumb to think this will "just go away" and showing up in vegas was just
an exciting adventure.

this ain't a movie. his parents are not past away, no grand parents, no siblings, no friends for the last decade.
this is more then likely an IT nerd with a shady background (drugs) who has no idea how this will play out.

A lot of people talk big on the interwebs.  Very, very few have the balls or the ability to follow through on threats.  

I will believe it when it happens.  Most (and I will bet all) will shirk off to the corner, nurse their wounds, and hope legal remedies will get something back.  I doubt even Bitlane will go break his legs in exchange for 20 years in prison.

Truly "Disappearing" is a lot harder than it seems.  Very few people manage to pull it off when there are lot of people looking for them.  People who have family have a VERY difficult time truly disappearing.

I'm pretty sure he will not be disappearing, I'm pretty sure he wants to play lawyer games.

You broke bread with this man (used loosely) less than 2 months ago, yes? 

And here he is bending you over for all to see.  Takes a real fuck-head to pull that off.

That number is the amount people claim to have lost, I doubt that is what he got out of it.  He probably got less then 2 million as I am sure he paid out a ton of interest.  Of course I believe bitcoin will rise in value, so if he lives off $5,000 a month he may not eat into the principle in a USD basis for a long time.   

I bet the vast majority of deposits were more recent.....the greedy people that could not stand watching others get "rich.  It is a powerful emotion and probably dwarfed the initial depositors.

Pirate actions are totally dubious here.
Technically Goat's bond is a derivative of Pirates investment.  Goat is the only investor.  That doesn't mean Goat can keep any money from Pirate but the bondholders are creditors of Goat not Pirate.  Pirate should pay Goat and then Goat disburses payments to bondholders.  My guess is Pirate is using this as a totally lame ass method to reduce his liabilities.  He thinks he can negate any debtor who's information he doesn't get before his arbitrary deadline.  It also puts Goat between a rock and a hard places.  Many of the bondholders will be demanding Goat do what Pirate asks (even if wrong) so they can at least get pennies on the dollar.  If Goat resists then he will get blamed.

TL/DR:
Pirate isn't just a scammer he is a fucking sociopath. Even in the very end he is willfully fucking over everyone,  even the bond issuers.

Crappy situation to be in Goat.  It is going to be lose-lose.

yea, thats about the lines I'm thinking as well, D&T..

The only thing I demand Goat do is to seriously contact his lawyer and find out what he needs to file to stop any further shinanegans.

Also, if you need help tracking down any real world info on Trendon, the location or routes of BTC funds, etc etc, hit me up. I've got records inbound now from TX on some things and am available to do further 'research'..

cheers

Time to get that crazy statistical software that was used months back by University researchers to prove BTC is not so anonymous.  

Suddenly the need for something like GPUmax becomes much clearer.

This bit is interesting to me, but as has been said, smoke and mirrors abound.

It makes me laugh.  It is almost identical to the way Bitcoinica handled there shit.  We all know how well that went. 

Simply gave them weeks of extra time to get the hell out of Dodge. 
Almost like Pirate was paying attention, isn't it?

It's almost like this could have been predicted.....

Yes.

We'll see if he pays though.

I wish there was an emoticon for laughing hysterically.  

Thanks for the assist!

Clearly this is some very odd and some bad news. (less than 1 hour old)

This only brings up more questions than answers. I don't know what is going to happen but it looks to me not great.

Just letting you know...



Hes basically saying "Come at me bro"

Yeah, looks like he wants to play with lawyers...

Step 1)  offer illogical rates of return
Step 2)  collect 500,000 BTC from complete morons
Step 3)  Profit!



But seriously.....what a brilliant end game.  Brilliance in simplicity and execution.  Play on the greed of a group of individuals prone to suspend reality, get them to literally SHOVEL Bitcoin at you, wait until the late comers really amp up your deposits, then make your move.  That move being lawyer up, obsfucate, and demand info from the private accounts of your pass through operators.  How insidiously ingenius!  

He has you guys by the balls.  He holds all the cards, and will probably force a settlement of 20% or less of the owed amount.  And honestly, what is your alternative?  Get your own lawyer and sue him for stealing your BITCOINS?  Do Bitcoins even constitute a tangible item?!  99% of lawyers and prosecutors will laugh you out of their office, yelling after you "good luck finding your magic internet monies!"  

The real beauty is that even iaf you fools can get a lawyer to take the case, Pirate can simply claim business went bad, he got in too deep, and now must close up shop.  Happens every day across America.....and the creditors (you guys) are left holding the bag.  Except in those cases, it was probably not so blatantly easy to see the scam.  


Game.  Set.  Match.  Pirate.

Yup Here it is

Direct from IRC

[19:54] <@pirateat40> As much as I've tried to meet the deadlines within the community, there're conditions beyond my control which have escalated the process to the point it is today.

Damn I know I should have bet Matthew

I am shocked by this.  Seriously.

It is very hard to make me uncomfortable.....
