I believe Maria the least on this forum... It act's like a douche ...
dank and Atlas are more credible than Maria, and that's saying something.

Can someone ban this guy until he learns how to behave.
Or should I say "she learns"? So are you Serena or Oliver? I wonder who is the liar around here.
Hell, half the time I wonder whether it's Maria given the crap it spews.

If he's actually a Lightning Ridge local, you're not going to get anywhere. It's the kind of place where locals close ranks against outsiders and someone going there to "have a talk" with him is likely to be leaving very quickly. "Close by" would be Walgett, but it might as well be Mars - like most mining towns, it's a world unto itself.
And yeah, a police report is unlikely to achieve anything as it's a consumer matter.

Would you believe I've spent all afternoon trying to match Josh Wepman with Kansas City?
I can quite believe that.

Fuck, I hope GLBSE can handle this one if shit hits the fan.
Its going to get ugly. We've always known that sooner or later Bitcoin ventures would come under the scrutiny of US regulators. If service operators didn't prepare for that inevitability, then they are fools.

Our call was on Saturday, Sept 22, 2012 5:26PM Pacific and lasted 2 hours 19 minutes. Satisfied? Probably not. Let the conspiracy theories continue. You being a time-traveller would have been much more interesting.

All I can say is that this is Bitcoin. I don't believe it until I see six confirmations.
Now that's sig-worthy.

Can you link to where Josh said that enmaku's 3 hour Skype call with Sonny took place today? The interview based on that Skype call was published two days ago - apparently enmaku has developed the ability to time travel into the future.

SA is going to EAT THIS ALL UP!! Not really. Goons are pretty pissed off at anyone who is trying to politicise the Benghazi deaths. While Vilerat would likely have found the accusation that Goonswarm is a CIA front amusing and encouraged people to exploit it, the circumstances surrounding his death are still too raw for people to find humour in such accusations.

If you looked like your avatar and have a millionaire husband like you claim..... What in the fucking hell are you doing here?
The avatar is Shilpa Shetty, indian actress. Actually, the avatar is Aishwarya Rai, Indian actress and former Miss World. "Maria" is not Aishwarya Rai.

There's a Josh Wepman on Linked In who's an AVP at SAIC. SAIC is an anagram of ASIC. BFL produces ASICs. Let the conspiracy theories begin.
Yes, I'm bored.

"How can you prove it's a ponzi?" He kept asking. Well, prove it isn't. Because until proven otherwise, anyone with their hand out is suspicious.
This needs to be repeated over and over. The onus is on those seeking your funds to prove their legitimacy. It's also on potential investors to verify the accuracy of any information they're given. Just because something sounds plausible doesn't mean it's legitimate. Scammers know that you want to believe. Most scammers would rather give up on you and go for easier targets. In some sense, the only reason why my advice works is because not everyone is following it. This isn't necessarily true. Many successful, long term scams involve cultivating the appearance of a personal relationship with the target, leading the target to believe that they're in some way special - that's one reason why some people don't cut and run when they first lose money in a scam but continue to invest more. Accepting that they're being scammed would call their personal judgement of people into question, not just their financial judgement. Scammers know how to exploit that "personal" relationship for their own benefit.

This SEC guy is sneaky
Maybe I should go down and meet him. Not sure if its a good idea.
What do you think ?
I don't think he's "sneaky". Trying to work out who's connected to what is pretty much standard for any investigation. pirate pass-throughs were listed on GBLSE, so the role of both the PPT operators and GBLSE itself in pirate's operation is bound to come under scrutiny. Even seemingly unconnected things could be connected, so no investigation is going to dismiss information about other apparent ponzis or enterprises in which the operators have "cut and run" out of hand just because they're not connected at first glance. They're going to look for any common points and common people. I think that anyone who looks like they can provide key information which may be vital to a future prosecution needs to realise that they may find themselves on the receiving end of a subpoena at some point, though, and that those who facilitated the flow of funds to pirate probably have the most to worry about in that regard. pirate's venture was being openly promoted here when it was thought that he was laundering funds for Silk Road or other illegal enterprises, so there are larger issues involved than him simply operating a possible ponzi. To an investigator, this place must look like a haven not just for scammers, but also for those looking to attract funds for and from other illegal ventures. Any investigation into pirate's activities is going to raise questions about other people and other ventures which promote themselves here - that's a given.

The other senses it perceives are also energy, feelings, emotions, love, power are spiritual energies we cannot measure, but know exist. They are not energies. They're not spiritual energies, as dank claims. It's kind of hard to argue that the biochemical reactions which underpin much human emotion aren't a form of microscopic energy in the scientific sense, though. Neurotransmitters are kind of fascinating.

Two I think your too far from the source to be accused of money laundering cause only exchanges have to comply with those codes. You accept bitcoins and pay out bitcoins, there is no transfer of bitcoins to cash or cash to bitcoins. So I think your ok.
How the hell are you concluding that? By Nefario's own statements, it's FSA regulations he needs to worry about in the UK and the FSA is very much in the business of both preventing and prosecuting the use of financial services for money-laundering and other financial crimes. They regulate financial services markets, exchanges and companies. That GLBSE doesn't deal in cash is irrelevant to whether or not it is deficient in respect of AML/CTF legislation. It's absolutely possible to launder money or finance terrorism without ever involving cash - you just keep trading things of value for different things of value. Pretty much all FATF member countries require that financial service providers be AML/CTF compliant, and that means verifying the identity of their customers at the very minimum. In the case of stock exchanges, it requires collecting large amounts of information about the stocks being offered and who is behind them.

You might as well close this thread now, dank. It's irrecoverable.
And "tone" has a specific meaning in Scientology, so don't even go there with Rarity.

I have no doubt that by the end of today, Philip Moustakis will have received emails describing every Bitcoin hack, theft and scam to date in great detail.

Most people don't consider lawyers to be policemen.
The US Attorneys are the chief federal law enforcement officers in their jurisdictions. http://www.justice.gov/usao/

GLBSE is based in the UK and is subject to regulation by the Financial Services Authority (FSA), we are in the process of becoming a registered company that meets all conditions to carry on business.
We have not been contacted by the SEC and are not subject to SEC regulation.
Nefario.
With due respect, they'll almost certainly pass any information they gather about GLSBE on to their UK counterparts. And there's a very good chance that they'll look at whether GLSBE has broken any US laws (you don't have to be based in the US in order to break US laws). Never take the attitude of "she'll be right mate" once you're on the radar of a financial regulator or financial intelligence service of any nation because there are so many mutual aid agreements between nations that your head would spin. If there's any chance that US citizens are laundering money or evading taxes through your service, you're a potential target of both US investigators and those in the UK.
