I didn't actually got all this. What illegal activity did he exactly do ?
He allegedly: "did knowingly conduct, control, manage, supervise, direct, or own all or part of an unlicensed money transmitting business affecting interstate and foreign commerce, to wit, a digital currency exchange business which (A) operated without an appropriate money transmitting license in a state where such operation is punishable as a misdemeanor or felony under state law; (B) failed to comply with the money transmitting business regulations under Section 5330 of Title 31, United States Code, and regulations prescribed thereunder; and (C) involved the transport and transmission of funds that were known to the defendant to have been derived from a criminal offense and were intended to be used to promote and support unlawful activity; all in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 1960."Does that simply means he was a bitcoin seller/buyer ? Doesn't that risk most of people selling on LBC the same? No, it means they think he broke laws. |

Do you escrow bitcointalk accounts?
Yes I do. Send a PM if you need me. |

I think she's just saying that some people confuse BurtW with Bruce Wagner, probably because they share the same first name initial and last name. Yeah people used to always mix them up on the forums. I don't think shes saying he's not BurtW. |

If you create a wallet in Electrum, that wallet will only work in Electrum, for the most part. Armory wallets work very differently to Electrum.

Well whoever is behind burtw.com is more or less denying that they are the same person as BurtW on bitcontalk.
Where do you see that?? |

That is an awesome site if it does what I think it does, though it looks like it's broken right now. I've been thinking about the pizza thing again, and I was mixing up two different things. Dooglus did an analysis in 2012 to see how many address contained "pizza coins", there was over 1 million addresses: https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/450/is-there-any-way-to-track-an-individual-bitcoin-or-satoshi/2900#2900Conducting taint analysis the way the OP did it (the "follow-the-coins" method) isn't the right way to do it. It's a good way for finding potential suspects, but not for finding proof. For example, see this quote from dooglus regarding the Bitcoins that were stolen from allinvain in one of the first Bitcoin hacks: I don't mean to imply that the allinvain coins haven't been thoroughly looted. They have touched 755,796 different addresses since being stolen and are currently sitting in 109,235 different addresses, including 8 from my own personal wallet. The exact same 8 as have pizza coins in them, it turns out. |

Coinbase is operating illegally in California, New York and others.
The law MUST be for everybody. How many people were or are in "custody" for unlicensed money transmitter? MANY !
The fact that CA and NY have not decided yet if and how to regulate "virtual currencies" doesn't necessarily mean that Coinbase operates illegally. If you read past the headlines in the ZDNet and NY Times articles you would see that. Sloppy PR and/or media reporting perhaps (to imply licensing where it's actually a "gray area"), but not the crime you're making it to be. Wrong : in 2013, Department of Homeland Security had seized $5 million from Mt. Gox’s. Mt. Gox failed to register in the U.S. as a money transmitting company. I think Mt Gox operated with Bitcoin, right?  Mt Gox were operating in other states that required a money transmission license without one. CA and NY haven't decided what people need yet, hence coinbase operating in these states is grey-area, but not strictly illegal. It is obviously a stretch to claim they are regulated in these states however. |

My thoughts: they are probably a operating in a grey area, but more white than black.

I don't see the problem with these sites. They might steal some traffic, not a lot, but they do provide some kind of an archive for things. I think it's kinda pointless to try and stop them. If your doc is posted here then chances are that it won't be taken down
Unless you are theymos  |

Don't worry Coinbase is legit and doesn't afraid of anything. |

It's not Coinbase's fault guys, the dog ate the California license, and they accidentally left the New York license at home. LEAVE COINBASE ALONE! it wasn't their fault!

It sounds like you are being confused by the change output. Here is what is happening: -Lets pretend you receive 1BTC to your address X -You send 0.6BTC to address Y -What Bitcoin Core does is it sends 0.6BTC from address X to address Y, then it generates a new address, called a change address, and sends the remaining 0.4BTC on address X to the change address. The purpose of this is to increase the privacy and security of your transactions. It makes it more difficult for someone to track your coins. This is a basic explanation, it actually works different to this. More explanation here: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Change |

Did you import an address recently? perhaps a private key you found online or a brainwallet?

Overview for cloudmining.website:
Registered On October 14, 2014
Registrant Contact Information:
Name: WhoisGuard Protected
Organization: WhoisGuard, Inc.
City: Panama
State: Panama
Zip: 00000
Country: PA
It's a new website and their WHOIS is protected... not good... Here is their account here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=379594Try PMing them, though if you ask me the website looks like it might be a scam... I agree that the lack of contact info is a red flag, protected WHOIS info isn't necessarily a sign of something bad. I add privacy settings to most of the domains I own simply because I don't want a bunch of random strangers knowing where I live. I do that too. The problem I had is there were no contact details whatsoever, none on the WHOIS, none on the website, which is a big red flag. |

I am still noob to Trust thing. First
Why can't i see his profile like this , it didn't appeared red flagged to me untill i gave him neg rep , and even now it just shows -6: -1 / +0(0)
Warning: Trade with extreme caution!how exactly does this Trust works ? Go here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trustCheck who is in your trust list. Put in only DefaultTrust to see the default setting that most people see, though I don't recommend using that and recommend adding/removing people who leave accurate/inaccurate feedback. |

As far as I can tell, there's nothing there that really links Tecshare to Woodcollector other than the video and directory. It is very curious, but I haven't seen anything that would show WC is an alt of TECSHARE.
I am fairly certain they are not the same person, though I cannot rule out the possibility of a connection. Maybe they've known each other for a while. It's only speculation without more evidence though. TECSHARE's explanation makes sense though and I am somewhat inclined to believe it. |

I know, he probably should be unbanned but I've yet to see anyone be unbanned here. It's one chance and your banned for life for the most part.
