Mark Karpeles. Before being a victim of his own success, Mark Karpeles was an ugly fat kid with no prospects.
But but but, he's still an ugly fat kid  Apparently they take anyone on the "victim of their own success" bus these days. And not on any ole bus: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ob9w9F12SZM |

Wait, so this entire business revolves around you placing an order, them converting the btc, buying the stuff, waiting for shipment, and then re-mailing to you? Why the heck wouldn't you just do this yourself? Who wants to wait months, pay a premium, and possibly face total loss, over what amounts to just being lazy? Some of you are really stupid when it comes to your money.
Because I want to buy my shovels from ShovelaBull using bitcoins, that's why. All the other shovel dealers want paid the old fashion way, thus they can't be trusted. Jeez! Do I have to explain everything? |

As you all know, I've been in contact with Larry David of Seinfeld fame. He is showing much interest in the idea of coming outta of retirement and heading up a new show. The following is the letter he sent me: Bruno
Thank you for getting me outta retirement. I am so excited about pursuing this project. My only regret is that the episodes would more or less write themselves, albeit I'll still get paid handsomely.
You, seemingly being Bitcoin Moses, would be the perfect candidate to help get this a rollin'.
Would you be so kind as to start a thread gleaning all the sob stories?
Sincerely,
Larry David
ld Thus requesting submissions. Okay, Go! https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=172106.msg1790644#msg1790644My uncle gave me an insurance job by summer 2010. Soon I am 22 years old:)
I worked autumn 2010 spring 2011 summer 2011. I read in a coumputer forum spring 2011 about bitcoin. I can earn money with my powerfull computers cool:)
Summer rally I watched was sporring and fun. I didn't have so many but it was ok. I wanted a respectfull stash and was working for it. My job buddy was talking about a mortgage. Hmm It just happend my house was sold to them who lived there. So I could buy my apartment 50% below market value. With good job I could easy get a mortgage for my apartment.
Summer 2011 was fun and one like you feel. My life have never been something special so everything is not so normal it seemed.
Autumn 2011. My best friend from later school years is beginning to work in same group on my job. Very special just like in school:) SO now we can go on important meetings tougher.
My mortgage loan is sign and my fiat money just happen to hit 3$ per bitcoin median price for all 15000 bitcoin. BITCOIN IS DEAD!!! CRASH!!! BURRN!! MANIPULATOR! in forum. Myself of cours knows bitcoin will go somewhere...
And I have very fun. Traveling to London Autumn 2011. Smokes silkroad weed and other secret drugs:) Winter 2011-2012 I become sick but I am not "sick" because I have always been I just know how to find and fix it after something special happend. I am working with health insurance so with my knowledge every kind of doctor, health fixer is a liar and is hurting people. I know how every people needs to be cured but know one will understand me. It seems no one can identify its sickness to understand want really is wrong. But I understand that all need to feel yourself what is right for them. Only talkning with my good friends and one more who is our common friend. I am trying to do my job so good I can. Now we all three take drugs one our job. Perhaps not so good...
I was very respected on my job. January 2012 rally I had pretty much money in bitcoin and I was talking with many on job and I heard many compliments. I worked late hours and heard many compliments. Many friends came home to me after job to perhaps smoke some weed and hang out? It was hard with time. Much on job, my "health issues", many friends, and bitcoin to watch etc.
February 2012 it's weekend. I have taken my "first" free of day, monday after weekend. I am back on tuesday and I am perhaps "high". What is more, I have not sleeped that night. I came in to job at 9 am as I tried to do usual. I am sitting one hour by my work table and is silent and almost not moving anything. I am not feeling bad perhaps realxing? After that hour I am rising up and I'm saing a weird sentence so people around me can hear. Yy Polizia di Stato is coming to get me. I then think I am in a mental hospital and my parents is crying when I saw them when I first there arrived.
First doctor is saing I will be in menal hospital forever. But I get out after two days very happy. I was a very normal and calm boy in that hospital so I guess they could not hold me that long.
14 months later it seems I lost all my money to. But that began 12-8 months ago. I was just trying to grow my bitcoin. Yes bitcoin/$ is going up but I perhaps wantet 21000, 1/1000 when all is mined. Because bitcoin is growing in BTC/$ it seemed after I lost it all nothing could keep phase with bitcoin to give a net gain in bitcoins. I was taking extrem risks to earn some more bitcoin. I was thinking 15000 bitcoin is always 15000 bitcoin even with a dollar price at 1, 100, 1000 or what. I wanted that 1/1000 of the bitcoin economy. And I was trying to support bitcoin with new fiat to help all:). That mortgage who bougth me 15000 bitcoin is nothing with this price per bitcoin. I was just trying to be kind. LOL
Perhaps some will help me now when I soon don't can buy food anymore. Seems all think I got what I deserved. But I have won my health. And my calm life I am happy with. I have hard to work. No one will employ an old drug addict caught on job. I don't take any drugs anymore. Not after I lost my job ok 2-3 times after but it was long time ago now and I don't want it more and is not planning to use it.
christmas 2011 I gave 103 bitcoins to my younger brother and my older sister. And 27 bitcoin each to my parents. Well they all have more than me now. My mam and dad have asked me if I want 27 back but it was a gift and I can't take those. I was trying to do a good job even if I took drugs. I regret it now but I thougt back then people around me was feeling better to see me "happy" I thougt I could perform better. I would not do it now but I can't change past.
One good friend have 465,77 bitcoin perhaps:) He bought those of me with btc/$ at 2,5. I was very proud he also wanted to invest in bitcoin. Two more friends have 250 and 100 btc. Ones girlfriend bougt in januari 2012 rally. I feeled bad It was beacuse of me she bought for the high price of 6,8:( She have pehaps 500 bitcoin:)
I am not really writning this to ask for help. Pehaps share a story. If you want to help a poor old member in the proud bitcoin community you can only if you want send what you want to this adress.

Thank you for reading. Sometime I feel I have something important to share even if I am bad on most besides computers, bitcoin and some more.
I am not english so please forgive my writing. It is a bit hard for me with speeling and grammar but I have tried to write me understandable. |

See what the fuck you started, organofcorti? We could have split the bounty between us, but nooooooooooooooo! You had to keep posting bringing all the other submitters outta the woodwork.
Now, the best we can hope for is a SCAMMER TAG by theymos.
All in favor, say aye!

Get out of home and do some work, and I am sure you would not need to ask for "donation". Why would anyone donate for your fun/hobby, instead of feeding hungry children ?
Give it a rest.
Wow how easy you think its is to get a job here in Pakistan. I m not a fool here asking for donation I don't have a job that is why I m doing it. By the help of this donation or you can call it a loan as well I will be able to study more by earning LTC from the PC. Do you happen to have relatives named Atlas and Dank here in the states that can vouch for your character? Does any body know how the pricing system of cryptocurrencies work so that I can see the forecast of the prices in coming weeks. Does anybody know how this thing is suppose to work?  |

Rumack: The life of everyone on board depends upon just one thing: finding someone back there who can not only fly this plane, but who didn't have fish for dinner. Am I the only one here that doesn't have any funds at Mt Gox, opting to store every satoshi I used to own in InstaWallet? What idiots! |

Dear ShadowOfHarbringer,
Usually I don't respond to unfriendly posts, but maybe this one needs a bit of addressing. We've had the honor of having Sonny in our corporation
for the past year. He is a bright and honorable person who had come face to face with strong forces behind the scenes without knowing. Many movies
have been made to try and demonstrate how governments and lobbying powers operate. They can kill, sabotage, prosecute or pretty much do anything
they desire without consequences as they have the power, money and weapons to make their point.
The United States Government does not recognize international bounderies when it comes to its interests and demands. The attack on the PirateBay
servers in Sweden is a good instance. Should the owners of PirateBay been Americans, I'm sure they'd already been serving for life in some prison in USA,
under charges of money-laundry, tax evasion (ads on the site), child pornography and so on and so forth. It's easy to hurt people who are powerless.
Even in France this may happen, eventhough on a much smaller scale ( I can't recall any at this point ).
Regarding whether we are a scam or not, the several thousand shipped units can speak for itself. We've used the experience gained in mass production
of our singles in our SC production cycle (we've got a MyData Pick-And-Place and an Oven for high-speed and high-volume inhouse assembly). Someone
mentioned the backlog is already 5,000. On a production speed of 500 units a day for instance, 5,000 will only take 10 days. We've already prepared the
infratructue for very high volume production, since the great portion of the orders will come in after the SC is released to the public. 5,000 units is not much
compared to orders we expect to receive after SC release, so we're very ready for it.
I hope this message has addressed some of your questions.
Regards,
Nasser
This does help, thanks you Nasser, for helping calm the FUD. Very good to hear.... everything is in place....except for a working product  I guess I was mistaken all along. Nasser, while in France working for some financial concern, one day opted to get into the Bitcoin mining business, thus leasing an unused photography studio in Kansas City of which a Chris Vleisides (Sonny's step dad) owned. He got lucky when he learnt that Andrew Vleisides was already a Bitcoiner (see Mt Gox email leak) and his cousin Sonny was already versed in the concept of virtual currency (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Orlin_Grabbe#Digital_Monetary_Trust). After bringing them two on board, more of the KC Greek Orthodox clan followed suit, then naming Josh Zerlan (who had visited Greece) as their PR guy, getting lucky again, for he was a Bitcoiner who ran a mining pool and operated a data center, and just so happened to work in an office across the street from one of BFL's early business address, enabling them cred to their overall operation when Josh grabbed his camera and walked five hundred feet to snap pics. I always thought that Nasser was brought on board at BFL because of his CV splashed all over the internet, yet no takers, even though his claim-to-fame was creating a PCB that played elevator music (really, Larry David). My bad! |

Based on the convo, it sounds like their trying to solder every chip by hand... Ouch. Temps with soldering irons affixing chips. Larry David, are you reading this? |
|

Boussac, i think an explanation aas to what this means should be forthcoming. You're not doing it right! Alle, alle auch sind frei! |

Did anyone actually get their money back?
BB.
Not yet! Luckily, it's sitting in Mt. Gox safe and sound till the liquidators get it back so that they ... or something like that. |

I quit reading that press release here: ...victim of our own success! Looks like Bruce Wagner is working for Mt. Gox. |

A little history (as I understand it):
...
As I recall, ~jav open-sourced it and ~davout just took his work so perhaps some of these conjectures about at least the original ~jav vintage implementation could be verified. A good task to run down at a later date since it is late tonight and I'm tied up most of tomorrow.
...
I did a little hitorical reading and captured a few things of interest. Does not look like Jan ever open-sourced things. https://sites.google.com/a/tcilgl.com/paymium/home/unorganized-info/instwallet_historyUnless he is more full of shit than I would expect, it looks like ~davout should have and could have noticed if the database held sensitive data in plain-text. Whether he told ~ballsac so he could, if he chose, answer the question asked is unknown. Reminder to self: If someone claims a 'military grade server', run, don't walk away from the bozo. Read link. Looks to me somebody finally wanted to get paid for all the free services they been providing. What better way to do that then to yell HACKED! My only beef now is that they didn't even bother to use vaseline, albeit I enjoyed the sex. Now, for the umpteenth time--POLICE REPORT NUMBER. Let me give you hint as to what we're asking for: When you contacted the police about the hack, they filled out a form. That form has a number on it. You received a copy. Just give us the number and we will no the rest. If you can't do that, don't bother coming here and posting bullshit like it-was-a-free-service-so-it-doesn't-count. |

Ok let me clarify the following: "We have a site called www.hitta.se you will find us both on there," There is a Swedish site called hitta.se (we don’t own it), but you can search for our company name. Best regards Andreas I'm not trying to be an ass here, but do you now see how important it is for an English speaking person like yourself to pen as clearly as possible? I swear I read that text no less than six times believing you own said site. I now clearly see how I could have been mistaken. Do you also see how easily you can put a stop to this madness by simply supplying proof? How hard is it to have a picture taken of you and your partner standing next to each other? I see that I quoted Andreas, whereas a little earlier it was Sam Cole replying with that account. |

I will try to clear up some things and confirm others. and no I don't expect this will stop the digging  I think there is no longer any doubt that Me (Sam Cole) and (Andreas Kennemar) are not a fake company. The company details (for free) and even our financial reports are available from the Swedish government (contact them don't accept our word for it) http://bolagsverket.se/I would like to say thank you for helping me identify the spelling mistake on my page. (I have now corrected it) Yes it was me who used to live in Switzerland. We did contact the Russian based software development company, here is their English software page http://www.advantshop.com/Its good software and we like it. Yes the question still remains about what we will actually offer and I understand that. So there you are in Switzerland in 2007, yet you and Kennemar owned www.hitta.se, of which started in 2006. Mine is Sam Cole and my college is Andreas Kennemar the company we hold together is called Kennemar & Cole Hense the KNC in the name of KNCminer our other business is an IT consultancy in Sweden we have a site called www.hitta.se you will find us both on there, state: active

better something concrete come out of all these .. this thread is already 13 pages long. gxmining was shot down in 3 page, dragonasic only last 3 pages, CedarTec Topic discussions same only 3 pages, primeasic only 1 page of investigation... Well, Kncminer is 13 pages long and going on strong the investigation continues... but off course butterflies ASIC has many threads and pages with no conclusion, does these butterflies really have the wings to fly?? or still on incubation ..

is best someone could meet him up in person... that may clear some of our doubts
Don't worry, they will. My money's on them accepting the request by the Newbie who's only walking distant from them. The last time something like this occurred, the person who was located literally across the street from another ASIC developer became their PR guy. I'm still jacking off over that decision. (quick aside: why the fuck does my spellchecker suggest jerking over jacking?) |
