Any chance you've been convicted of prostitution?  Insurance fraud?  Ever been evicted?

All the pieces are starting to fall together- scammers upon scammers upon scammers.  Is this really the person we want as the public face of bitcoin?

How is it a scam to try and help people save their homes?  This is a great libertarian alternative to big government welfare solutions to the problem.  It's sad that their business didn't work out, but that isn't criminal.

There was a saying in ancient Greece, "E pluribus unum", which means, "Let the buyer beware".  Not every business arrangement is going to work out in your favor, if they truly wanted to save their homes they should have made their mortgage payments.



I personally am more of a fan of the saying "ceterum censeo carthaginem esse delendam". It means "do not let your shopping cart be emptied by censors", which I think aptly explains the evils of Capitalism.

@BlockHash

Are you suggesting that a person with a proven history of mortgage scamming, preying upon the people that could afford it the least being the unemployed, poor and elderly, also with a history of assault on women, credit card cbuse convictions and involved in prostitution would scam the decent folk of the Bitcoin community?

Are you insane ?



I know, please help me see the error of my ways!

That's easy. These things are prohibited, so they can't possibly have happened. The government checks this stuff, you know?

You will need to have 4 ACTIVE hours logged. Check to the top left to see your logged in time. It is not enough to just let the site sit in the background. You need to actively surf on the site for 4 hours.

EDIT: And as I'm writing it seems you just reached "Jr. Member". You should be able to post elsewhere now.

You only subsidize their behavior.

Actually, according to someone else on here, the troll subsidies come from the government. Stolen straight from taxpayers like yousomebody who's actually had a job before.

I wonder if they are being paid in Bitcoin.

Strange. The Cook County State Attorney sees things somehow different.

http://web.archive.org/web/20070814043123/http://www.statesattorney.org/pressbold01.htm

Quote
The lawsuit also alleges that the defendants did not arrange or provide any funding, but kept homeowners' fees. Neither Bold Funding nor Bruce Wagner possessed an Illinois residential mortgage broker's or lender's license.

The defendants are charged with violating the Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act.

I bet most of the people who think Bruce is Guilty are SA members ...I asked for raise of hands earlier and about the whole thread was all paid SA hitmen ...goal to destroy individuals and this forum.

[...]

So, my question to you is what have you got to lose by Bruce being exposed for the scammer and fraudster that he is? Are you complicit in his crimes?

You know, this is actually an excellent question and.... https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=20325.msg254396#msg254396

Spam and trolling will continue to be removed, but it is not a crime to come here from SA. Maybe these newcomers will bring with them some interesting and useful ideas.

create a sub-forum for them they BRING no value to this forum I would say a lot of forum members here would agree!

A sub forum is a great idea. We could call it the Great SA Concentration Camp.

Stop trying to bury everything Vegetta, you worthless troll.

I'm wondering why someone whose webshop has no contact information at all and whose domain registration was done through a proxy site would want discussion on possible scams to be buried...

His enthusiasm for Bitcoin is true and contageous, and as such good for the community.


Enthusiam for Bitcoin. Or Enthusiam for my Bitcoins?

So, let's just pretend that insisting on Pattaya as a conference location isn't really suspicious.

What about this article claiming that you were involved in mortgage fraud in Illinois?
http://mortgagefraudblog.com/perp-walk/item/10674-illinois_foreclosure_rescue_company_fined_and_shut_down


This is bullshit. It's nothing but a common first and last name.


And the same writing style. And the use of a Bred mail adress, you know, like in Bruce + Ed's former show BRED tv, or like in his diverse former forums handles.

Nah, that can't possibly have happened. There are laws against morgage fraud after all.

Agree.

I agree, we should take a page out of the Catholic Church's book and sweep this scandal under the rug, while aloowing the continued planning of Bitcoin trips and conferences to a city known for the very crime the scandal is about.

Ignoring potential crimes is the best way to avoid fallout from them.

Don't worry, it is already way past the point where it can be ignored by the community.
But so far, it is still not at the point where it will be picked by the press.

Now it might be:
