Had to report it to the police today, but I'll follow up tomorrow to make sure the intelligence services get the report too, and the extra background.
It seems Strateman has locked Taaki out of the server, and Taaki isn't going to argue with a crazy person sat on $20 million. So screw a little girl's dying dog. In the meantime, there are some bloody odd things going on around the ex-bitcoinica crew. Zhou Tong being not the only potentially fictional character, and I am getting a whiff of something distinctive - like organized crime. Central European stuff that goes back a long long way.
There are enough red flags in Taaki and Normans' backgrounds to keep a leigon of spooks busy for some time trying to work out where the stolen money might have been going, whereas Strateman, who also has this politically charged background, is distinctly the odd man out.
Sure, he'll kill a little dog. He is in no great hurry to talk to his 'friends' either.
I'll be seeing my bitcoins, but I think it is beginning to occur to Donald and Amir that they won't be seeing any of the $20 million. Which will cause no end of grief. No doubt there are 'family friends' from the old country starting to crawl out of the woodwork any time now too.
Can you imagine the feeding frenzy round these two if bitcoins go up in price much more? Ha, and Strateman has cut them off
They'll have nothing to feed the piranahs, who will be convinced they are holding out.
They might be better off in jail actually, although, it has to be said, Amir is rather pretty.
