Alternatively you could avoid bringing legal attention to bitcoin by using your brain to avoid getting scammed.
A scammer tag in bitcoin community is more powerful than a tax - avoidance judgement. Cause then you are done with the ladder profits. Cheers Zyk costs nothing but time to start a new identity/identities on the forums. if you can make off with $5m just by posting on a forum for a year, I'd be working round-the-clock, posting from multiple accounts and lying my guts out to get the money. unless of course I was afraid of getting thrown in the slammer For once, I agree. |

I learned that the electric motor in the fan I took apart to try and fix, is pretty much the exact same technology as the massive hydroelectric turbines my dad spent his life maintaining, just working in the opposite direction. One uses electricity to run a magnet to spin a thing that turns the fan. One uses water to turn what is totally not unlike a fan to turn a magnet to generate electricity.
Kind of obvious now that I've seen it, but a pretty neat connection to make 30ish years after the fact, or whenever it was I last saw the insides of the big turbines on a cub scout tour.
No shit, Sherlock! |

I just got a PM stating that I won. I'm having my winnings donated to Bitcoin100: 1BTC1oo1J3MEt5SFj74ZBcF2Mk97Aah4ac
~Bruno~
If I had won, I would've invested in a HYIP. |

BINGO!Whats wrong with legal attention? A scam is a scam regardless. Just because bitcoins were used does not make any difference. Obviously I agree that those who were scammed are not the brightest bunch and their money is gone, but if people are allowed to get away with fraud, it will never end.
Do you pay taxes from your bitcoin-related profits? |

Is there a 'naive idiot' tag for pirate's victims?

Once again.. Think your thoughts out before typing them on the computer..
Your points are lost, you are lost, more than half of your posts are incoherent babble no one understands..
I thought I was the only one who didn't understand him and thought my bad command of English was to blame. If it ends up this was a ponzi there are going to be hardly any funds to seize.
I don't understand why. Because IF IT ENDS UP THIS WAS A PONZI THERE ARE GOING TO BE HARDLY ANY FUNDS TO SEIZE. Oh yeah, now that I see it written in caps, I get it. Thank you. |

fucking greed is in me and i dont know how to control it yet.
This should be the motto of the whole bitcoin community. Also, I love the name of this thread. It fits perfect! |

So we don't know. Thanks.  We assume he didn't make any investments at all since it was a ponzi scheme. |

I don't understand why. Of course I am convinced he doesn't have anywhere near 500k, but still .. he ran away with a huge sum of bitcoins and if he hasn't spent them yet (quite unlikely if you ask me) there's still a (theoretical) chance to get a considerable portion of them back. I only doubt the community has enough balls to make him pay in the first place. They're just doing some ritual dances around photos of his family and nothing happened. Damn, some of you live a few hours away from him. Why not pay him a personal visit? If you break his jaw without witnesses at least he'll understand you're serious. I'm sure he's monitoring these threads and so far there has been nothing he should be worried about. |

This is a better avenue than hiring gypsies or Ukrainians (LOL)
Trust me, with Ukrainians you'd get your money much faster and somehow I believe they are cheaper than what you pay for police via taxes. Gypsies could just run away with your money, but they're even cheaper. Or you could set his car on fire. When I was a kid there was a car blown up in my town every few months. Ahh... you're making me feel nostalgic  |

Ok. So he's doxxed. Now you're doxxing the rest of his family, but you still haven't answered my question : what are you going to do besides doxxing? Are you going to beat the bitcoins out of him? Sue him (ALREADY!!)? Cut his head off with a chainsaw and fuck his bleading throat?
What is so ridiculous about wanting to sue him? This is the USA, where (despite all the e-anarchist teenagers on here) we have laws and it is relatively easy to file a lawsuit against someone who has stolen from you. There is absolutely nothing ridiculous about it. However, it's been a fairly long time since he's disappeared and there's no lawsuit filed to this day. I get the feeling that you're not going to do anything. Not even sue him. On a side note, if he lived in my country I would pay some Ukrainians or gypsies to break his legs. It's super-effective  |

Just press ignore and save yourself a lot of pain. If he is high when he wrote that, then he is always high. good for him! |

I wonder what's going on. I hope it's not something similar to the recent Bitfloor crash.

Can't connect to Bitstamp. Anyone having the same problem?
According to bitcoincharts, the last transaction was made over an hour ago.

Exactly more than enough information has been know about Mr Shavers for weeks now. No victim has done anything. Not a single thing. I don't even think anyone non constructive (like prank phone calls, or vandalism) has been done. The victims have done ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. The info has been available. Hell if you were a real investor you had all the info before sending him a single coin.
Why?
1) Because for weeks many continued to defend him
2) For weeks the same victims bought into the whole delayed payout, needing more info, shifting the blame to PPT, Matt idiot gamble, etc, etc, etc. It was designed to delay and gradually get you use to the idea that you weren't ever seeing your money again. If you held out even the slightest hope in the past 3 weeks well it worked.
So either
a) hire a laywer
b) meet him at his front door with baseball bats
c) STFU
How many threads are needed?
Do something or don't but there are like 200,000 posts related to the scam.
Does anyone really think talking about it for another couple weeks is going to make Bitcoins rain out the sky? Really?
If "one more thead" going to magically convince him to give you your coins back?
TL/DR:
The reality is if you haven't already done anything, you AREN'T going to do anything. Being honest with yourself is the first step in resolving a problem. Be honest. Just admit it to yourself that you aren't going to do a single thing about it (and that includes all 200 something victims). He got away with your money and you know deep down you aren't going to stop him. Now you can move forward with your lives and maybe stop posting about what someone "should" do.
BTW: I heard Rusty is offering 3% per week. Just put twice as much money into Rusty "super secret can't share any details money making biz" (max out some CC if you have to) and in a couple months you will have even more money than before Pirate defaulted. It is that easy. You believed it once, why not believe it again.
I applaud you, sir. |
