theymos is a snitch Not sure I would go that far. Doesn't have much choice if served with a subpoena. Unless he wants to sit in jail and I don't think he likes anyone here that much! ~BCX~ I'm surprised this thread has went this long. The fact that the site remains up shows it is willing to work with authorities. If they did not on a site this size it most likely would be taken down. And as mentioned with BFL with sharing info I think some of working with authorities is good. It can help some members in certain cases. Theymos himself has openly posted in this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1027518.0That he has released information in possession of Bitcointalk to the authorities. Theymos is located in the USA. Not complying with a USA subpoena isn't exactly conducive to a life of freedom. ~BCX~ Added: I do believe that Ross Ulbricht and GAW also had info released from Bitcointalk to the American FBI

Disclosing accounts with the same IP's wouldn't stop most scammers honestly IMO, because most scammers would be utilizing a VPN, PROXY or TOR of some-kind anyway.
You would also have situations where two unrelated accounts would appear as alts of each other if they by chance had the same exit node on Tor. Happens all the time here when people use Tor and see and Tor IP ban in place when trying to login. ~BCX~

Why? What's wrong with discussing this?
This thread isn't about three letter agencies and their jurisdictions (what they do and what they don't). This will cause unnecessary spam in addition to being off-topic. The topic is Is Bitcointalk passing information to investigation authorities?I can promise you the authorities referred to in the title of the OP are indeed various three letter agencies which certainly do relate to the OP and the jurisdiction is releavant. Why the anxiousness to close off the topic? ~BCX~

*puts on tinfoil sombrero*
I wouldn't be surprised at all if there are various investigation authorities who have bitcointalk accounts with which they can monitor, observe and look into whatever red flags which may happen to pop up on their radar.
Of course they are. It would be damn near dereliction of duty on their part if they weren't. ~BCX~

First of all, I want to say that I am not part of any illegal activities or something similar. I ask this question because I am curious.
Is Bitcointalk.org (the owners/maintainers) passing information to investigation authorities on request for user information in the case of big frauds and scams ( e.g. Mt.Gox etc)?
It depends on where the servers are based.If forum is hosted in US located servers,not compliance with US laws can lead to suspension of hosting account but if it doesn't co-operate with other countries government agencies say Chinese government,then it may only be blocked in China.In short forum is bound to follow the law of country from where it operates but it is its discretion to follow other laws or not You keep telling yourself that. The US Three Letter Agencies can reach out and touch you anywhere. Just ask Kim Dotcom LOL ~BCX~

Afaik, if the ban is because of insubstantial posting then it's a permaban. There is no way to get your account back. Also since you own 2 accounts, you provably also commited a ban evasion. I'm not sure tho, but I doubt you will get access to those accounts again.
Yep. He will probably be banned with this name like you said. ~BCX~

If mine is off topic, so are literally a hundred more in there.
1)Try reporting some and see if you get lucky . 2)Also , I don't think once deleted the post can be restored. 3) try posting it again and see if any mod deletes it 1) I really have no desire to see others thread deleted. I will leave that to Techshare 2) Wrong, but thanks for the bad information. 3) I guess my Legendary status and five years here screams Newbie. Re-posting a deleted post is ill advised, although I did rephrase the question to be "on topic" I am willing to be the same happened with the comments i was referring to earlier also BCX. Seems to me he has a friend over here who is quick to do some mod action for him though.
I wouldn't doubt it. Maybe who ever deleted it will say so. If not no biggie. I was just curious as to why. ~BCX~

How exactly is it on topic on a discussion thread based on Vod's wrongdoings?
The OP is just a basic complaint about Techshare being booted off the DT. If mine is off topic, so are literally a hundred more in there. I just thought it was odd but like Hilariousandco stated it was probably due to Techshare whining about the post. ~BCX~

Techshare was removed from DT after ONE accusation of trust abuse.
Fixed that for you. Yes you were removed from DT after ONE accusation of trust abuse that uncovered a long undeniable history of doing such. Plain and simple you got caught. No one here is going to believe that Badbear, Saltyspittoon and Hilariousandco dumped for you no reason. What's next, you going to claim Theymos had it out for you? Vod is still on the DT because he is trust worthy and benefits the community. Why not you? Think about it. ~BCX~

Now I know for a fact you aren't even reading anything here before posting, just coming here to go "bla bla bla drama".
1) You can't possibly know this 'as a fact'. 2) This is not the case. This thread has been on my watch list for a long time now, however you can't expect me to remember 28 pages of nonsense either. 3) I asked for concrete examples because of number 2. My latest post in this thread was just to have a public record that as a result of being forced to stand down by BadBear, he has a grudge and is now stalking me by following me to my other threads, posting off topic, and just plain making shit up about me.
Do you know the meaning of the words "trust abuse"? Following you around the forum and posting in the same threads is "trust abuse" in your world? Of course he does. Techshare was removed from DT after numerous documentations of trust abuse. This is just a lingering butt hurt thread from it. ~BCX~

If RS is involved you can bet your bottom BTC that several hundred thousand already exist in a private wallet.

MicroCash doesn't even exist yet. If there is any one thing I know on this forum, it's Realsolid. Fair isn't something he does at all. The guy is a freakin' genius to get you clowns to come back time after time. Hats off to him! ~BCX~ Side note: If it is in Alpha release, it exist.

It was said earlier but worth repeating.
Should Lauda be a Mod, HELL NO!
Global Mod ABSOLUTELY!
I've never had any issues with Lauda and disagreed with this person on several occasions.
I never saw any retribution due to them being a mod.

If you are interested, there is now a MicroCash exchange: https://microcash24.com/It went online about 1 hour ago. 5 years ago I ran the Solidcoin24 exchange, maybe you remember. I was curious about how you'd go trading a non-existent coin (not that other coins havent' done that eg simcoin is still trading before it's release). Especially when the value isn't even really determinable atm. The obvious advantage is that it's a web wallet for MicroCash as soon as it's released. So by buying any ICO style MicroCash the hard work of claiming those coins will be up to the excahnge Still, here's hoping you add some more coins Here's more discussion on the excahnge https://microcash.org/forums/threads/microcash24.63/btw here's where enlightened released his first version august 2011 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=40259.0If RS is involved you can bet your bottom BTC that several hundred thousand already exist in a private wallet. ~BCX~
