wtf? There is now bitcoinvilla.club, in addition to bitcoinvilla.com? I had to read it back to myself a few times to figure out the difference between the two... Simply click on http://web.archive.org/web/*/jrt.com and read some of the past sites to get up to speed.

Thanks for your message, I've just tried to be frank and polite. I am sorry if my one of my posts somehow offends you. My first post was clearly meant in jest and was in the days with the 5 posts to get out of newbie-land. If I come across as a newbie trying to find my footing, then I'm sorry. If I can help you with something, please give me a call - the number is on the http://jrt.com/contact/ page, or you can use the Skype link from the same page to reach me. What pique my interest is that you started this thread with... A new web site for villa owners & people who want to rent villa for bitcoin. Join now for updates, or to list your villa, it's free http://BitcoinVilla.club...offering up a lame website to garner support when, in reality, you already have a couple/three sites up that are fully developed hawking the same wares. Then, after a little research, come to find out that you're well-versed in the going-ons of the internet world including, but not limited to, the dating market, even have said attached to the San Francisco scene. The only thing missing is Eban Pagan/David DeAngelo... Oh, wait...

No, no relation, sadly, much as I wish I owned a villa in Bali ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) It's truly paradise, although I'd look at some of the other islands now Bali is quite well developed. I apologize then, seeing that you're fairly new to the bitcoin scene and all. I had you mixed up with somebody else. You've only been aware of Bitcoin for about a year, is that correct (according to your first post)? No problems, no need for apologies. Actually I looked at it back in 2010 I think if not then 2011 and got involved in 2012 -- I lurked here a while before registering, following the old forum adage of read before posting ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Ahh. So, that'll make you John Thompson, and I see you once redirected jrt.com to a dating site registered in Russia.

Oh, like the homeandaway website where you can rent property? That would be cool.
It would've only taken a couple minutes - at most - to move files from their .com to their .club site.

massive fraud
clearly there's some hidden element here involving mostly China and partly Russia. The Chinese are obviously tripping up some kind of back-room dealings, and they're blaming the corruption on them when clearly it's not coming from China. -bm This is a scandal of great proportion, no doubt about it. Wait until the Mainstream News Agencies get hold of this story. Good Times. just look at a small portion of the sheer corruption and madness emanating from the Bitcoin Foundation! not sure about this Phineas guy, he seems a bit ragged - but you can't deny that there is some fishy stuff happening here. -bm And, will probably become more ragged the longer I wait for davout, staff on this forum, to return my 1,132 BTC that's currently residing in one of his fat-ass bitcoin wallets thanks to InstaWallet "hack". Odd, how he and his two partners became bitcoin-rich, in spite of having no returns on their failed enterprises, and with Bitcoin-Central - back by a bank name Lemon Way known for its ONLY ONE app - performing lacklusterly, at best. BTW, David Francois and Mark Karpeles have been friends for years, possibly French Fuck Fuddies.

Whether it's good or bad the Chinese are doing the WILLIE right now and have been doing it since last year. Will all the sanctions and bank bans, how can they still have over 60% of BTC trading volume? BTC Pie ChartWow!

Just finished reading, still sitting here with an amazed expression on my face. BTC price was manipulated for months! Right under everyone's noses. BTC not so "volatile" after all, the price we have seen for the past little while is the real thing.
As for whether this means it was an insider-job...there isn't really a smoking gun in the article, but all the evidence the author mentions makes it highly unlikely that it was a hacker. Why? Well besides everything he points out... Gox would've noticed something fishy long before. And all of the things these bots did and the privileges they had seem much more likely for Gox owners (like buying BTC at their own price, lol) to be able to do.
At this point, I just want someone to find a direct link to Karpeles / whoever else was in charge of Gox and had this kind of power to manipulate accounts, bots, prices, etc. Awaiting sweet sweet justice to set precedent for Bitcoin!
edit: I'm surprised this thread has so little posts/ views. This is huge news...
Sure is huge, thus surprised to see so many posts. ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) Imaging if the word cat what in its title, hell, we'd be at 42 pages already. But, luckily, we have Brock Pierce, an accused pedophile, and Bobby Lee, CEO of BTC China, an exchange, on the board at The Bitcoin Foundation to straighten this shit out.

So, what did the mods do? Deleted the entire thread depicting fraud in the Bitcoin universe.

(re-post from another thread)
His final conclusion is probably wrong. The BTC economy is growing very fast in many parts of the world. Therefore, it is possible to have huge price gains again, and this time they will be "real".
at what level is it "real"? most of the last bull run was inspired by speculation... at what level is speculation healthy, and and what level is utility healthy? doesn't seem like there's enough infrastructure to push bitcoin up right now.. it's still speculation i think. http://coinmap.org shows what is "real". The Bitcoin ecosystem and infrastructure is booming throughout much of the world. This isn't 2012 anymore...Welcome to the Brave New World. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Lots of mom and pop businesses, hipster cafes and tech specialists, but in reality bitcoin transaction numbers are only up 2x compared to 2 years ago And, how many of those sites are gambling or tumbler entities?

Phinn, you're losing it.
Ever since the accident on the railway he just hasn't been the same. Here we go again! Playin' the railroad card I see. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fencrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com%2Fimages%3Fq%3Dtbn%3AANd9GcQVDm9vFebaCrxKPRQm8bUCZMsYaklOFLwfy2EABIrjUaKA9F8mAw&t=664&c=G-L_ZYrCVZt-Mg)

There are laws against this kind of activity so Overstock's competitors will never do it. End of story.
No, not the competitors themselves, but via cleverly embedding the idea in their minions heads. I'm only inches away from doing it myself, for I do know how to use social media, i.e. Facebook. I'd say some hacked together campaign can go viral in about a week. These fuckers wanna play via using the money they stole from us, fine! Now that we see how the game is truly played, it's time to even the score. To be clear, I'm one pissed off motherfucker right about now! These fucks, some of which our Poles, pushed this Lugan a tad too far.
