Aren't there more than a few TOR output nodes located on military networks?

It would be even better if bitcoins would be the only method of payment. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) I don't see any other practical payment method he could take, TBH. Unless he plans to compete with BTC with his own cryptocurrency.

I'd buy some to try whenever you get around to it.
You could make a small fortune selling "illegal" dishwasher detergent with phosphates in it.

It's a small fraction of the energy that governments around the world use to keep track of it's citizens with monitoring systems. Now, which is a more pointless waste?

In general, insolvency requires people to actively file claims in the appropriate manner by a specific date. Those claims are then checked against the records of the insolvent entity. I suspect pirate doesn't have such records and needs to create them. But yeah, if you fail to file a proper claim against a bankrupt estate you miss out on any distribution (and I suspect a lot of people won't file because doing so would require tying their real world identities to their BS&T transactions).
Hmm. That makes me wonder about the history of the pass-throughs, and if they could possibly be essential to the structure of the whole scheme.

In order to claim bankruptcy, he needs a list of his debtors so in the very near future when he is sued by you poor people he has addressed this and he will be scott free due to bankruptcy......
I'm not sure why he needs specific information then, because obviously at least some portion will not respond with their contact info and would just be listed by the originating BTC addresses.

Has anyone started a pirate wiki yet to track all this stuff ?
My only concern is that whoever would run the site could be exposing themselves to possible legal threats from libel claims. I would either make it available via TOR only, or with all page edits moderated to make sure everything has citations and isn't speculation.

I found my deposit address for BTCST 7 times on the FIRST page ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) What I also find AWESOME.... is that some of the BTCST Deposits CLEARLY saw their way to being used for GPUMAX Payouts. Nail ? Coffin ? LIMITED LIABILITY ?...........hahahahaha I knew when I got that tingly feeling that I had stumbled onto something big.

Unless you're implying that he's laundering money for the PPT clients and if turning over that info?
I'm saying that the Feds could try and claim they are and make them prove they aren't to get their money back. You are guilty until you are proven innocent with forfeiture laws. How many depositors/creditors/whateverthefucktheywanttocallthemselves are willing to give up their anonymity to fight it? Not to mention if they want to try the whole tax evasion thing too. Maybe this was his plan all along: to get caught. Meanwhile he's been loading Zero Halliburton cases up with bullion bought with a percentage of the BTC and putting them in storage units across the country...

So, let's say that Pirate is really this guy and is currently in Texas.
Now, there's the legal way out of it with declaring corporate bankruptcy and fucking everyone over.
Or has he been caught by the Feds for money laundering? And in an agreement to turn states evidence against everyone else involved, he gets to go under the witness protection program.
Oh, the possibilities...

I doubt it. He probably left the country after that Vegas meetup. He seems to be purposefully leaving a gaping security hole in his identity when he connects to IRC, that of an IP address located in Texas. If he's smart, all anyone will ever find of him in there is that he's leased an apartment or office to use as a decoy through a dummy corporation or fake ID, and in there is a modem connected to a VPN routing device.
If he's truly smart he appropriated the identity of someone else and leaving his IP exposed when connecting to IRC is just a means of convincing people that he's the person whose identity he's appropriated. If he's not actually Trendon Shavers (who does seem to exist), people don't know who to start looking for or where. The first thing I would do if I had just lost a shitload of money through this person is see if this Trendon guy existed at all before 2 years ago. With that amount of time, it's completely possible to build up an identity searchable through Google, people search type services, and credit bureaus.

It should be noted that identities are not verified when filing incorporation documents. Be mindful that y'all are possibly being led on a wild goose chase.

Edited to add... I did not lend him a thin dime. I am just thinking how i would feel in his place. And that is shitting my pants.
