Bad news --> to very bad news --> to good news --> TO VERY GOOD NEWS!

Original printer never got back with me and is closed today (assumed).
Other independent printers are also closed today in NYC.
Thinking cap was donned, then...
KINKOS! Less than a half a mile away--walking distance to the Waldorf Astoria.

<saving how I pulled it off come Monday, for I made them fit it in  Grin>

At any rate, Chantale and Casey, at Kinkos, went over and beyond the call of duty to make sure that this DOUBLE-SIDED banner (two single-sided banners, grommeted together) is delivered to the Waldorf Astoria no later than 10AM tomorrow morning, the best I could do--apologies!

Not to brag (seriously), but I have over $500 USD invested in this project just to have some stupid Bitcoin banner waving like a motherfucker 15 rows up behind one of the goal posts (again, the best I could do  Roll Eyes) at MetLife Stadium during Super Bowl XLVIII with the hopes of having FOX Sports capture the wild man waving said banner to be broadcasted live to its 100M+ viewers. <breathe>

To top it off, said wild man gets to keep said banner after the fact, possibly selling it to pay for his Super Bowl ticket. <all humor aside, for I truly don't care, and enjoyed the challenge of bringing this project to fruition>

Granted, we're not outta the woods yets, but the gridiron is in site, no longer needing a Hail Mary to get Bitcoin close to the endzone.

TMIBTCITW does it again!  Cry Cry Cry

Second, was ready to pen in said thread, but saw this atop the fold first, saving the gooooooood news till I get over there in a sec.

At least you didn't say: I want to crack her privates, forcing her to feel what kind of a brute I am. Then again, maybe you did.

Andreas doesn't need a "leadership" job at the foundation.  He's too valuable for that.  He needs to keep doing exactly what he's been doing.  Trust me, he knows a lot better than people here how to best utilize his talents and time.  You guys should just try to support him by donating funds (btc) to him at his website and spreading the word about all his kickass videos on YouTube to people who are interested in learning more about Bitcoin.    Just sayin'.

Thanks for this valuable insight, bud. (seriously)

Matt Carson visiting the China plant is well-known. Ideally, I would love to prove that Matt Carson is BlackArrow Matt, but will settle for BA Matt's real last name. This arrogant prick is a thorn in my side.

Matt Carson and BlackArrow Matt are too busy with dealing with me oppose to worrying about their investomers. You might as well lock this thread and consider your moneys lost. You don't believe me, head on over to Black Arrow's main tread and take a look to see what those scammers are up to now. You just wouldn't fuckin' believe it!

I will pay $100 USD via BTC to the first person offering up proof as to what is the last name of BlackArrow Matt. It seems Mr. Transparent doesn't want to play nice, ergo this bounty.

Feel free to post in this thread, PM, or email me via the address shown in my profile with your proof. Please PM me if you opted to email me so that I don't miss it.

To clarify, the graphic design was not created via Photoshop, and is vectored to scale for printing purposes, thanks to bitcoincito. The Google tiny URL acts as a backup if the QR-Code is unreadable, ergo we won't sweat this aspect, considering there's a myriad of symbolism built into the final design.

If Richard Sherman proves instrumental in the Seattle Seahawks winning the game, it'll make this banner that much more valuable for CC, especially if he could get it signed.

Here's to hoping it's a great game and the commercials don't suck. May the best team win!

Just an FYI I will be in one of the endzones, pretty dead center behind the goalposts in the first 15 rows, so there is a very good possibility that the banner will be visible during field goals and PATs.

Thanks, bud, but it now looks like I may have to pay out that $100 USD via BTC bounty I currently have running: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=429446.

Claiming this bounty just got a little bit easier! I wonder if Walgreens is open till ten, for I'm outta something.

Good luck to all who are planning on trying to claim this bounty come Sunday.

Newbie status, with the post starting with "OK so", ergo (that means 'therefore') this has to be an excellent OP to read.

theymos, what are the chances of you creating a Trollbie section on this forum?

It looks like everything is set.  I will be sure to post plenty of pics!

Almost, just a tad slow on their end waiting for an email, probably due to it being Friday and all, for I heard a many machines a runnin' in the background when I spoke with Mike.

Thanks, CC, for taking part in all this, knowing that you'll do your damndest to get the banner televised, or at least in front of a camera hoping that it was televised live. We all look forward to seeing all the pics you take come Monday or so, for Sunday would be to late to get them posted unless you're using a smartphone.

The intent to launder money is not at all clear, though.  Money laundering is a specific intent offense.  While that need not necessarily be as specific as, say, intent to launder the proceeds of cocaine sales by Pablo Escobar to fund terrorists, just to pick a glaring example, it certainly has to be more specific than just an intention to collect fees on processing transactions that seem a little fishy.

Yeah.  Money laundering is attempting to disguise the unlawful origin of money.  At most, Shrem knew that some of the money would likely be used to buy drugs.  There wasn't evidence that it had an illicit origin.

Still, some of the stuff Shrem allegedly wrote looks really bad for him.  You've got to wonder what he was thinking.

3938  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: CEO OF BITCOIN EXCHANGE ARRESTED on: January 31, 2014, 09:05:57 PM
my point is bitco you are incorrect about your facts and should look more into it.  Spitzer was transferring smaller amounts through friends that were far below the 10k you quoted.   He was caught through the reporting of suspicious transfers and was not told he was reported.
Your casino 1099 comment is incorrect also.  go cash a $700 ticket.   they do not write out 1099s.   But yes, you as an american do have a responsibility to report all income you make.  Your $600 reference is the trigger point that a business must issue a 1099 and have a current W9 on file for the person (or LLC) that they have done business with.
I guess my larger point is, when you are not sure about the law, you should not post things that are incorrect.  
What did I post that was incorrect?  Are you claiming that reporting of gambling income is not subject to the $600 threshold of 26 USC § 6041 ?

The Spitzer case is a separate issue.  Suspicious activity reports can be filed for amounts less than $10000.  There is a $10000 threshold for currency transaction reports. You are mixing up several different things here.
I cannot educate you unless you care to learn.  You would be mistaken (and likely confused) on your first question and you are ALSO incorrect that the "threshold" is $10,000.
This is the last I will say to you.   If you wish to learn more, go to a casino and see what happens when you win $601...    You do not know what you are speaking of.   You are mixing google searches up and applying them to other things....
If you wish to test your $10,000 theory which you either take from the customs form for the US or from some other google search that you did, it will be simple for you to do.   If you have $9,000 in your bank account.   Go down and withdraw $4,000 (or $2,000 if you have more patience).   Then do it at another branch OR do it again the next day BUT DO NOT take out more than $10k.   If they do not ask someone to come over, do it one more time the next day.    See if you get it as quickly and without a supervisor having to "approve" the teller doing it.     See if they ask if what you want the money for (then they are deciding whether you are suspicious or not).  You might learn something.
Or if you know anyone in vegas or that works at a book or a cage in a casino, ask them.
Enough time wasted on that.

At my bank, I have a $2,000 daily limit, reduced a year ago from $5,000, then to $3,000 a couple months later, currently at setting at two.

Question: Does the IRS read this forum?

The idea is awesome, but i have some doubts about the realization. Are we sure it is not a scam? How will it be launched? Who is exactly working on  that? That "donate now before it is too late" just make the alarm rings

changed to "limited Space donate if you feel like supporting this project" i don't want people to feel scammy about this project . its is supposed to be fun

as far as realization. I will complete this mission without a dime from anyone. I can cover the cost

To be fair, I haven't called your endeavor a scam, but have made light of it at your expense due to the general sentiment expressed in your thread. I suggest maintaining being light-hearted toward any naysayers, having fun while moving forward with your quest to the stars, bud.
