Nothing to see.  I got stuff mixed up.

I can see it being attractive to certain kinds of lenders.  A lot of people are pretty cynical about mining bonds at the moment given their track record.  I think to a large extent this is the kind of proposal that only certain forum members can make - people who trust Nolo wouldn't necessarily trust someone else making the same proposal.

Ummm.  I think your sarcasm detector is broken.

Never mind.  I mis-read the last couple of posts.

You can if you're clever about how you set the company up and organise things so that you're a secured or preferential creditor.  Of course this is not a "company" in any meaningful sense of the word so there's really not much to stop usagi "liquidating" his ventures any way he wishes.

I can confirm the matter was listed for hearing on 1 November.  I checked the NZ High Court list the day before.  It's probably worth remembering that it was Patrick who first announced that Bitcoinica had been put into liquidation that day and who the liquidators were, whereas it was Wendon named in the court listing as making the liquidation application.  There is literally no reason for Patrick to mislead people about this.

The firm is legitimate but people should absolutely be open about any concerns they have.  Many users aren't going to be familiar with insolvency processes, let alone foreign ones so some things about it might just plain not make sense until they seek clarification.

Serial number dank.  By the way, you haven't addressed the question of whether the receipt for the original purchase of the watch is available.

"Hey guys, I told my parents that I was going to give up eating on Thanksgiving and survive on god's love alone and they told me that if I didn't snap the fuck out of it they were going to have me committed."

Otherwise, why the sudden talk of gaining "normality" in "reality" when objective reality (and "normality") was previously irrelevant and unimportant?  Of course dank's "soul mate" may have decided that he's batshit insane and that could be driving his new-found, sudden desire for gaining "normality".

Or at the very least a restraining order.

He's pulled the old bretharian excuse about eating.  He "could" survive on love, starlight, whatever alone but he needs to eat "to regain normality in reality" (that's a direct quote).

Any person who is moderately healthy should be able to walk more than 10 miles without food.  It has nothing to do with the stars, the sun, the wind or the Universe providing you with energy.

Then why aren't you already "on good terms" with them?

Let me guess.  They're on the West Coast.

What's the speed limit for 18 year old bike riders in the various states through which dank would need to pass going from the east coast to the west coast?

But there's no point in attention-whoring in the Spanish forum because hardly anyone reads it.

The Rolex belongs to a "friend".  I wonder if the friend lives in China and collects relics.

The only way you could really do this is to send the watch to the recipient and let them take it to a Rolex dealer for authentication before the funds were released.  Of course then you have to trust that the recipient will be truthful about the authentication and either release the funds if the watch is genuine or return it if they don't wish to complete the transaction because it's fake.

When you post the pics, you might want to post the original receipt (showing the serial number) for the watch dank.  If it's not from an actual Rolex dealer, forget it.

Let's not worry about things like bike licences and insurance, because there's obviously no chance whatsoever that dank would be picked up for any motor vehicle offence much less have an accident.

 

I thought dank had a car, anyway. 

The law is not similar, though - that's the point you're missing (and domesticating the orders of foreign courts isn't as easy as you think even when the laws are similar).   Information which is protected by privacy laws elsewhere is not protected in the US.  If - for example - one of the Australian posters here wanted to harass me using this forum I could take action against them in an Australian court and an Australian court could issue a restraining order (and they'd be in violation of that order if they continued to harass me) or I could file a complaint under privacy laws and they could be sanctioned by the Privacy Commissioner here, but I could not get an order served on theymos to remove their posts or to stop them from posting because they would not have committed any offence under US law.  

Under US law, very few types of personal information are inherently protected.  In order to over-ride free speech laws, you pretty much need to establish that another offence under US law is occurring (and even then, your remedies are going to be somewhat limited and expensive to pursue).  The reason why organisations like FaceBook will take action against users and remove certain types of content are often found in local law, not US law.  FaceBook operates in Australia and has a corporate office here - that makes them subject to Australian privacy and anti-harassment laws so they are generally responsive to complaints filed by Australian users about breaches of local laws because they're potentially liable if they take no action to prevent those breaches.

If an actual offence has occurred, you remedy lies in the jurisdiction where it occurred, not under US law.

Y'all are assuming it's even a real Rolex, something even dank can't be sure of unless he bought it himself from a legitimate Rolex dealer.
