Bingo, albeit change one letter, then rearrange the resulting middle three. It fact, he was captured twice on video during that hand. |

While reading one of those news articles about Charlie Shrem, a Bitcoin video at the end of the article piqued my interest. I clicked on it and had to wait till the 32 second commercial was over. Of course, that commercial was in place due to my Googling history, of which I have set to allow via Chrome. The commercial was for CME Group, an outfit that I wasn't familiar with prior: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-yDgOa7mLZwDuring the commercial while watching golf balls being hit about with probably CME's logo on it, I envisioned golf balls with simply a Bitcoin logo on them, whereupon they're rolled harmless by hand in some public settings, recording people's reactions when they pick them up. Well, take a look at that commercial I linked above, watching the entire 32 seconds, whereupon you, too, will be as amazed as I when I reached the end with what I envisioned still on mind and saw a notable Bitcoiner smiling back at me as he picked up that last golf ball. <assuming you watched> Were you amazed? ~TMI BTCITW |

FAIELLA, 52, of Cape Coral, Florida, and SHREM, 24, of New York, New York, are each charged with one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering, which carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison, and one count of operating an unlicensed money transmitting business, which carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison. SHREM is also charged with one count of willful failure to file a suspicious activity report, which carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison. I'm not sure, but they would come out better if they were running some sort of lottery scheme for several years with seniors as their core customer base, for the sentence for such is only a $100 fine and time served while sitting till the case is heard, at least that's what I once read somewhere. |

It’s amazing to know that those brokers in city further sell to exporters/art galleries are double or triple price. Don't know how it is now, but back in the early 90's, one could buy gold jewelry in India at damn near the price of the gold content due to the underground trade movement of US dollars, read one dollar bills, to Iran. I was adviced to bring with me as many singles as possible to be used as trade and purchasing rupees at a more favorable exchange rate directly from the hotel managers. I returned to the US with two suitcases full of silver, spices and peacock feathers, all unbeknown to me to be illegal to bring back quantities of said commodities. Luckily, my duct-taped suitcases weren't checked when I reached NY due to getting into a conversation with the custom's gal about the PB book I was carrying. When she finally got around to asking me if I had such and such and such and such in my bags, I looked straight into her eyes and replied, "Goat made me do it!" "No!" BTW, I paid ten cents each for the peacock feathers and sold them for a buck fiddy per. I've been in the villages you spoke of and seen some of those artisans first-hand. What I witnessed is that they weren't depressed, in both meanings of that word, and simply were working for a daily/weekly wage exactly what normal people in the middle class do in developed nations. Come the weekend, we have a couple days off, then start the grind all over again come Monday. Perhaps, the only thing different for those artisans in India is that they don't/can't take a day off, but that doesn't mean they're not that less happy. ~TMI BTCITW |

They they should fine one that does. What if none of the payment processors will handle any drug money? Then they can just accept Bitcoin directly themselves. That's one of the beauties of Bitcoin - you don't need a payment processor. My thoughts exactly. Set up Blockchain app and take payments by having customers scan your QR. Simples. We're runnin' around in circles here, guys! The dispensers have no problem with accepting bitcoins. Their problem is converting them to fiat since they can't use Bitcoin payment providers, e.g. BitPay or Coinbase. Their other problem, of which I can also solve, is that they're sitting on cash that they'll probably would rather have on deposit somewhere so that they can continue to operate as a normal business does, viz. paying suppliers, payroll and that T word. Can't they just flog it on an exchange themselves? Too time consuming. My way is quicker, safer and legal. |

That's right, this publicity is good for Bitcoin. It will guarantee, that in the minds of all Americans, Bitcoins are only for drug users and drug related businesses. Excellent news! O_o
And for betting on the 420 Bowl I--Washington vs. Colorado. |

Next stop all the illegal gambling sites That's so 2011. Preet has been there and done that. Google FullTiltPoker and Pokerstars. The two main sources of my income back in the day, along with being a poker whore chasing deposit bonuses on the various other sites. After its demise, I had to get my hands dirty once again to earn a living, eventually getting back into moving barn wood, of which I truly love, but now conflicts with Bitcoin while back online. I used to live at Sam's Town in Tunica. virtually free with all the food I could eat, for two whole years while playing and propping poker, but tired of that grind on the felt. Apologies for the aside. ~TMI BTCITW |

http://www.forbes.com/sites/andygreenberg/2014/01/27/winklevoss-funded-bitcoin-startup-ceo-arrested-in-silk-road-investigation/Messages dug up between Shrem and Faiella tell a different story. “We know you are violating our Terms of Service and we know you are reselling on the Silk Road. This is illegal,” Shrem wrote to BTCKing in January of 2012. But even then, and despite several conversations with a BitInstant co-founder who asked Shrem to ban BTCKing, Shrem is accused of continuing to process his transactions. (The indictment also alleges that Shrem himself bought pot brownies from a Silk Road vendor, as further evidence that the understood the illegal uses of the site.) Hate to say it, but I believe this probe is much, much deeper, and expect more arrests by spring, throwing an iconic enterprise into a tailspin.

If you knowingly facilitate the commission of a crime you have to expect that you risk facing consequences as a result...
The key to this is that he allegedly knew that the coins were being used for illegal activities... It makes no difference if it's Bitcoins or Dollars, you can't knowingly break the law without risking your freedom.
It's no big surprise.

CEO OF BITCOIN EXCHANGE ARRESTED The CEO of BitInstant, a Bitcoin exchange, has been arrested at JFK airport and charged with money laundering. Charlie Shrem, along with a co-conspirator, is accused of selling over $1 million in Bitcoin to Silk Road users, who would then use them to buy drugs and other illicit items. "Hiding behind their computers, both defendants are charged with knowingly contributing to and facilitating anonymous drug sales, earning substantial profits along the way," DEA agent James Hunt said in a release. Shrem is a vice chairman at the Bitcoin Foundation. He is listed as a speaker at a Bitcoin conference in Miami that ended Sunday. Shrem is believed to own a substantial amount of Bitcoin.

If it weren't for the really stringent security measures that are going to be in place, I would be pretty certain the bitcoin banner would make an appearance. But I think the government basically wants to cavity search every person entering the perimeter. So... how you gonna get a banner past all that bull shit?
Fold it up and carry it in a bag. I know Gilette Stadium allows one small bag per person, I'm assuming met life stadium has a similar rule. They will probably make you open it, but a banner folded up wouldn't be something they're going to stop you for. It's going to be a cold night anyway so most people will be bringing ponchos, blankets,etc. Shouldnt be to hard. Guys, it's made of fabric, hence wearing it in as an added layer of clothing worn due to the frigid temperatures expected during game day. This seriously is not an issue! No detector that security will have on hand would detect it--no metal or moving parts. |
