Still, according to my definition to be a scammer one needs to have an intent to scam - and IMHO pirateat40 had no such intent. He was just an idiot and a total tool.

I disagree with the "no such intent" part; he already was a con man before getting involved with Bitcoin:

Now, I'm curious as to what's on his DL that was submitted to Mt Gox and Coinbase.

That's not that difficult.

1. Find someone with alcohol or drug issues.
2. Offer them some money in exchange for their ID and their bank account.
3. Profit!
2965  Other / Meta / Re: Bitcoin Forums should eliminate 'Scammer' ratings and 'Trust' ratings on: October 27, 2013, 09:32:41 PM
Trust ratings are important, but I'm not convinced the ones on BCT are worth anything.  The "scammer" tag seems reserved only for people who rip off the people who run the site.  You can rip off anyone else with impunity, as I've found, and no matter how blatant the scam (basically a MoneyPak trader who NEVER delivered and was a pure ripoff), they don't get a scammer tag.

Scammer tags are no longer "awarded" since the introduction of the trust ratings which serves as a replacement for the scammer tags, and people can now rely on their own due diligence and the judgement of people within their trust lists. Theymos now also doesn't need to spend time on looking through the evidence and deciding whether someone deserves a tag or not, which could have eventually become dull with more scam artists flooding the forums this spring.

Was Silk Road seriously that bloody profitable?

Yup.

Or should we also suspect some of this BTC is from the Bitfloor (24k), Slush (3k), Bitcoinica (43k), bitomat.pl (17k), et al., thefts?

I doubt it.

2967  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: The biggest difficulty jump I have ever seen on: October 27, 2013, 01:12:38 AM
I thought difficulty was limited to +/- 40% per jump...

It can increase or decrease by as much as a factor of four.

not 40% but rather 400% up or down.

300% up or 75% down  Cheesy

Additionally the government cant just drop the 224k on the market, provided they really have access to it.

It's ~174k BTC.

You made Satoshi one bitcoin richer.

Unless you can contact him there's nothing you can really do without spending a lot more than 1 BTC to recover it.

1170 BTC stolen from 50BTC pool. It happened in 2012 but I couldn't find it in the OP.

But once you become 100% legal, you literally get a target on your back from regulators - so it's a hard choice.

Not worth it IMHO. Just look at what happened to BitInstant after they wanted to become "more compliant". Only a waste of time and money, with nothing in return.

You are brilliant.  Did you major in mathematics?  I know the rate.  I understand multiplication.  How many sent more than 50 BTC? 
Someone needs to work up a top 25 or something.

You are welcome to contribute.
2975  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Marketplace (Altcoins) / Re: MasterCoin Buyer/Seller Thread on: October 25, 2013, 07:43:49 PM
Holy crap, exactly how many have more than 5000 each?

Anyone who sent >50 BTC to https://blockchain.info/address/1EXoDusjGwvnjZUyKkxZ4UHEf77z6A5S4P?sort=1 before the end of August now has >5000 MSC.
(the exchange rate was 100 MSC : 1 BTC)

Look at his posting history:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=33459;sa=showPosts

It is plausible that his account was hacked or bought by someone else. His last post is a one-liner and is over 7 weeks old, and the post previous to that is from July 12.
Now, after returning from weeks of inactivity the first thing that comes to his mind is start this thread and ask for a loan.
To me this looks very suspicious.

Should be:

I was hesitating how to word it exactly but I decided to stay a bit more neutral this time Wink

To you and me this is considered a theft but to most people it's a seizure or confiscation (because FBI was operating within the law).

Only European citizens or residents at the moment, though.
