Well now Matt, when will you pay?
If I lose. What are the conditions?
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=101751I think its pretty clear that pirate has defaulted.
Pirate defaulted before I even made the bet. I couldn't agree with you more. The bet is not about defaulting. When will you pay?
Well now Matt, when will you pay?

Matthew is a lot of things but I do think he's honest.
No idea why he made this bet though.
18 pages of chatter about something none of the posters are involved in. You don't understand why I made this bet?  EDIT: Okay now someone involved posts  |

Sorry for giving you so much shit about stealing all those peoples money, and thank you for the forum war it brung.
Also, driving Matthew Wright off the deep end was kinda funny.
There's an entire civilization down here. You should come on down. |

so everyone has a right to call it what it is, until proven otherwise. If they're wrong, then no harm done You're a faggot child raping tax evading meth smoking pedophile. Prove me wrong. If I was wrong, no harm done. I mean, it's not like people listen to what others say, that what they say can affect business, and that we have defamation laws for that exact reason. |

Mathew I'm curious how you made any money to bet in the first place, this bet and the "statement" you are trying to make about pirate makes you come accross like a border line retard imo
Sigh. "come accross like a border line retard". Ignoring for the moment your spelling difficulty, please do not use such childish and bigoted language. The following would be acceptable: "I'm not a developmental paediatrician and you should know that I have no idea what I'm talking about when I say this, but you are borderline developmentally delayed". Or you can just call someone foolish, or lacking in appropriate decision making skills. Note that these options do not require you to make a comparison to a group of people who already have enough problems to deal with. Unless of course you are childish and bigoted and developmentally delayed, in which case go ahead with your original statement. Edited original post to foolish however it has been socially acceptable to call someone a retard in the UK for over a year now (so long as they do not suffer from retardation). Hatty in Eastenders made the statement "stop acting like such a retard" in January 2011 prior to the 9pm watershed, in a poll of Sun readers 86% of readers found this acceptable. Retard 1. A person with a mental deficiency 2. An offensive term used to refer to someone acting in an irritating or generally stupid way. 3. Someone trying to either con $200+k in bets out of a community of people or worse still lose it defending a nonsensical statement about god only knows what! 4. Creating sockpuppets to hide your true identity but forgetting that people can recognize you by the way you talk. |

This thread is weird. Not because of the topic, but in the topic, Atlas actually argues with himself across two different sock puppets.

Guys, investments and bets are not the same thing. You're both confusing a "gamble" with "risk". Gambling is risky, but risk is not a gamble. Gambling involves blind luck. When you walk across a tight rope, you're risking your life, but it's hardly blind luck. Anyone making this bet is basically blindly gambling. If you invested in pirate without even bothering to research his business model, find out his info, etc, you're also basically gambling, but only -you-. Others who invested in him may not be gambling, they may be just taking risk. I am taking a risk with this bet. I believe I know what he's doing and I believe it is not a ponzi. I am taking a risk of being wrong, but to me it is hardly "dumb luck". That said, since I have absolutely no control or even influence on payment, I admit that I could succumb to dumb bad luck and lose on a shit technicality (couldn't make it to the bank on time, lost his password, electricity cuts out, tornadoes takes out his house, any number of things).

Aye. And shortly after that Mattew changed his avatar slogan from "Editor-in-Chief" to "Crusader of the Internet".
I thought Phin was the self-appointed Crusader of the Internet (or Bitcoin, at least). He's been a bit off-the-mark lately. |

imsaguy, please explain.
This. Pirate's agreement with Goat only includes themselves. Nobody else. Its basically 3rd party beneficiary. The bond never limited this liability. The whole reason goat setup the bond was so others could use it as a PPT. It was setup to benefit someone else. Fuck it this is all silliness and FUD... I highly suspect pirate is just fucking around and playing games... Ditto. You better do good on your bet, you fucker. I will not pay if you pull this shit. Atlas? Are you threatened? |

Fuck you for getting my hopes up that you were actually selling this.  |

I think PPT operators should bear in mind that if they choose to negotiate with pirate on behalf of their investors, they'll probably be leaving themselves wide open to liability if the investors are not happy with the outcome or if they do not vigorously pursue any and all means possible to recover their investors' money, up to and including taking legal action against pirate. I'd strongly suggest that the PPT operators seek legal advice regarding their own position should they advise their clients not to deal with pirate directly.
I don't think PPT operators are even considering such a thing. What we're seeing though is outright -blockage- of client information. Chaang Noi is refusing to allow his own clients to contact Pirate even if they -want- to. That's going to make calling my bet a bit difficult to say the least, if everyone got paid except Chaang Noi's clients due to his stubborness.  |

It would be easy to show a jury that pirate told his pass-throughs to supply sub-account information, therefore he could not use that as (legal) justification to claim his contract terms were broken.
Give it up. BTCST will never be in front of a jury. I will book odds on it if you think that scenario is realistic. Off the top of my head, I'd offer 8:1 or more. Let me know if you want to give me action & how much you'd want to risk. This might be a good way to pay for court costs. Are you willing to go as high as $100,000 ? (That is if by jury you mean a Judge in court) Cuz the flood please PM me if serious. LOL...no, I'm not good for $100,000 of action. For that kind of scratch, you could get anything in front of a jury. I will offer 8:1 and put a maximum of 90 BTC at risk that BTCST/Trenton never stands in front of a jury before 12/31/2013. If I win my bet, you'd win yours too. |
