If this email were PGP signed, it would have made front page news on most mainstream newspapers.
As it is, it will die a quiet death after some discussion.  Smiley

I think it will certainly deter some people from thinking about starting a darknet market, but for most it wont stop them and there will always be people willing to take the risk.

It will deter some people from starting a darknet market and publishing their personal gmail account in relation to it.

No matter how careful you have been it is very very difficult to become an untraceable ghost on the internet or even the darknet. It only takes one tiny slip up and you're done and your life is over. I couldn't even imagine the stress or paranoia it would cause being in charge of one of these markets. Hopefully decentralized ones will get rid of the issue of their owner fucking up and taking your coins with it.

I don't think so. Best example: Blake Benthall made the same error on Silkroad 2 and got busted.

He said some. There will always be fools and people who fuck up. I think satoshi is probably one of the only people who is qualified to set up one of these sites and remain anon. Maybe the powers that be could track him down if he did something like this, though.

You are right. Some people will avoid to use their real name email address when commiting crime, but people can make a lot of other errors. What about the legion of Tor users? They feel safe, but some of them - depending on their configuration - are still showing their real IP through a DNS leak.
Even Satoshi can't be aware about every 0-day around.

Amir Taaki talking about the multiple personas DPR moniker:

http://www.miningpool.co.uk/amir-taaki-backs-up-ross-ulbrichts-claim-of-leaving-silk-road-after-creating-it/

Quote
“Years ago, when I messaged the Silk Road, I had a conversation with the Dread Pirate Roberts – a very personal conversation where he was [talking] about how one day he hopes to be on the outside struggling for freedom together. You know, not having to hide his identity. One year [or] two years later when I messaged the guy — I’m pretty certain it was not the same guy. The tone was completely different. He had no recollection of the events that happened before, and his attitude to me was in stark contrast to the exuberant and wordy Dread Pirate Roberts of the early days. So, free Ross Ulbricht.”

I have no reason to believe this and at the end of the day it's just his opinion. Ross was caught red handed both in setting the site up and running it when he was caught do I don't really buy the different person excuse.

See what you wrote here?  He was caught red handed "setting the site up" and "running it".

A website.  Voluntary participation for willing participants, none of whom are even in the court with complaints.  

For this: we are to pay his hotel bill for decades.  

The most shocking part about it is how primed you people are to just accept this idiocy.  

You really want to pay 100 BTC a year to correctional facility managers because "he published his email" ?  

I never said that. Learn reading quotes.

Its so strange that a few days after the news broke over Dorian, satoshi made his first statement in years. Which means hes still is closely watching bitcoins and could explain why his stash is un moved. Hes lives a very frugal life.

Not true. His account was hacked and the message was NOT signed.

Is really releasable to think some one who is a master cryptologist that created the worlds safest digital currency based around being (uncrackable) got hacked, let a lone hacked the around the same time Dorian was discovered? Why not hacked previously? And if he was hack, how come there has not been more posts from the hackers?

The hacker is reality. It doesn't matter how hard it is for you to believe that: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=775174.0

Don't trust any email sent from satoshin@gmx.com unless it is signed by Satoshi. (Everyone should have done this even without my warning, of course.)

I heard from a trusted source (Rosalyn), that Satoshi Nakamotos twin brother was killed by the CIA with help from Gavin "Anderson", who was hypnotized at that CIA meeting. They wanted to take control over Bitcoin and empty Satoshis wallets, but they failed, because Satoshis wallet was encrypted and his twin had no pass, so they tortured him to death. After that, Satoshi had enough reason to hide himself forever and never ever touch that wallets. Now Gavin and the CIA have taken control over the Bitcoin source and they brought the blocksize discussion up to introduce some 0-days, that will give them total control over Bitcoin and every wallet. The plan is to destroy Bitcoin and the crypto community and to ban encryption for civilians.

I think its a cool story, Bros.  Grin

Possible that this page is indeed from the original VJ, because its content could make one think it is, but I doubt it as long as he don't sign it with his pgp key from 2010.

That particular pgp key is basically radioactive. Had Ross' trial gone differently (with those corrupt agents a part of it), maybe, someone would sign. Life in prison without the possibility of parole? This whole case is messed up...

This guy is giving away his address and telephone number. He doesn't look too scared to me.

That phone number is part of pop culture. Mike Jones... a rapper who used to include his number in songs and whatnot. That address is fake as well. 330 1st Avenue ... 330 1... 3301. Probably poking fun at Cicada 3301?

You are right, I didn't pay attention on that. So the address/no is fake then. I still think, that someone is using the fame of the nick "Variety Jones", rather than VJ beeing the mother of all attention whores (which IS still possible btw, knowing the backstory of PoM). He is doing a good job in imitating the style of VJ and his art on vj.com is respectable good, but only signing with his old key or answering my encrypted message would convince me.

tux using the stolen btc to bribe the judge?

That could be a possibility, if he is truly the one who stole it.
Has anyone seen any of those coins move?
I haven't been following the case much.

Imagine what happens when he makes this offer to the judge and he doesn't like it ....

Then he just says he didn't offer him anything since it's intangible.

What counts in this case is the japanese judge who could feel beeing disrespected and not how Marc could defend himself afterwards. In reality Marc can only bow and shut the fuck up. Trying to bribe a japanese judge in his situation is the dumbest thing he could try.

I wish some people could bring links from respected sources to back up their claims about how awful the Japanese prisons are. It's certainly true that they're different, but well, everything's just so different in Japan. I believe nothing happens if you let the soap fell down in the shower in a Japanese prison.

The info isn't really hard to find.

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Japanese+prison+conditions+

I did as thy sayeth:

If convicted of murdering Nicola Furlong, Richard Hinds could face up to 10 years in an adult prison, where he may be forced to sleep on tatami mat floors without heating in winter, bath communally, and be required to undertake educational programmes aimed at understanding the grief of his victim’s family.

Police: Karpeles, tell us why, how and what you did with them bitcoins on Mt Gox or you will be forced to take communal baths.
Mark: Communal baths? Now you tell me, otherwise I would've have spewed as much as I had to date. From now on, mums the word. About the no heat threat, you did noticed that I'm a blubbering whale, didn't you?

He is going to FUCHU, which is best described as "hell on earth". If Marc goes there, he will be changing a lot.

Quote
It is likely that, after undergoing an evaluation to determine his physical and mental condition, Mr Hinds would be imprisoned at Fuchu prison in western Tokyo, which is one of Japan’s largest prisons whose staff are well-versed in handling non-Japanese inmates.

"Well versed" doesn't mean, that the prison staff is trained to be nice to foreigners, but that they slap them in the face everytime they didn't understand. Just like the "protection cell" ("hogobo") is not there to protect you, but to torture.

The bubble was NOT fake, because I made real money with it...
My thinking is inclined this way.

It was indeed fake for some, but extremely real to us whose profits were real.


What a time for bitcoin, some of the most dramatic price and volume movement I've ever seen in any market. Tulip Mania must have felt similar.

I suspect the neophyte speculators that got goxxed out of their pipedream fortunes are using The Great Karpeles Bubble of 2013 to justify their losses. They shouldn't feel too bad, however, as it can happen to even the most seasoned traders. And for the record: good riddance, MtGox. You were a blight upon cryptos from day one and only got worse.

Yeah, it was also real money, that was lost. Sure, the bubble started artificially, but hey .. doesn't every bubble start with a decent pump anyway?
