I'd create a schedule for a month and try to stick to it. It'd be a little tempting to do it in one buy. Right now you could buy $1m worth of bitcoins without breaking $13.
The problem is transferring enough funds to exchanges or private dealers in order to buy them before people become wise that the supply of BTC are drying up. |

I think it's important to point out that we don't really know how many depositors he had. Lots of them could have been fluff to promote confidence.

IMHO, either Pirate is Mr. Shavers or nobody is ever going to find him.

you're asking about $5.5 for 1 oz. of copper when it is $3.xx for a pound of the stuff. Not the most worthwhile investment for the price and a simple design
I once saw a guy at the flea market trying to sell 1 troy pound bars of the stuff for $30. lol |

Sadly at this time we have reason to believe fraud occurred.
If Pirate provides evidence that he was actually operating a passthrough to Zeek, will you still hold him responsible for returning your coins? ... |

You know, I gotta say, I really tried to read the OP as if it were someone trying to weasel their way out with a technicality. And it doesn't come across that way at all. Sorry, gonna have to say that Matt owes those BTC addresses some BTC.

I'm very confused as to why people in this thread think paying for goods before you receive them is an odd concept.

I don't think I have ever seen a 7.62 M1? As far as I know they have always been 30.06, the M-14 was the first rifle to go to standardized NATO 7.62, right?
I've seen an aftermarket conversion. |

AK-47 is reliable, but has shitty accuracy and fucking hurts to shoot after awhile.
Love the FN-FAL, but it's goddamned heavy.
Probably would pick the M-14.

Bitcoins are, after all, perfect for ransom money.
100k would be a lot to launder, though. Talk about the most tainted BTC address in existence... Do you mean a Million? I forgot the demand was stated in USD, not BTC. Still, it's a lot to try and get rid of without getting caught. |

1) Discover Ponzi scheme.
2) Come up with scheme to steal people's BTC to use the eventual failure of the Ponzi scheme as an excuse to not pay people back.
3) ...
4) Profit.

Strange things happening at mtgox lately. My account is verified with different withdrawal limits http://imgur.com/a/FhfF9I don't think they tell you this, but you have to e-mail them for a limit increase - specifying what you want your limits to be. |

Nope.
Just bubble wrap.
LOL. BFL is a clown company. It wouldn't surprise me if all engineering and board assembly is done in China (it would explain a lot). Maybe even whole units are being air-freighted. But even China knows to use lock washers. Most of the time. |

One thing I noticed - BFL did not ship the replacement module in an antistatic bag. What? I would hope they know better than that. Was your first replacement module in one? Nope. Just bubble wrap. I would hope it's the pink anti-static bubble wrap. |

This is so exasperating. It's no wonder Bitcoin is becoming a laughing stock. It's simply not enough to claim the blockchain is safe when every service that people use ends up getting hacked and large sums being lost.
I guess it's sort of like the Pirate fiasco, people turned a blind eye to due diligence. Make sure the bank has a vault before you deposit money in it. If they have nothing to show, your mattress may be a better storage medium. Someone brought up a great point the other day: since lots of people here never really *earned* the money that their BTC is now worth, they tend to be very careless with where they put them. |

In b4 pirateat40 ran bitfloor.

Almost looks like it was designed for BTC mining.

I wonder how much profit has been gained by keeping your BTC in an online wallet for day trading vs. the amount stolen to hacks for keeping them on insecure online systems.
