I'm giving 100% ROI away to anyone who thinks pirate is a fraud

[finkleshnorts]

Sorry mate, as much as I'd love to agree with you and all, I'll have to call bullshit on this one. I paid the bet already as described in my thread. On top of that, are you saying if I wouldn't have made this bet, everyone would magically have subscribed?

I look forward to more accusations and butthurt, but it's pretty late here. Let the trolling begin! I have a big day of work tomorrow in various companies that no one even knows I'm involved in apparently. ROFL.

You just single-handedly killed Bitcoin Magazine. I don't care whether you get fired, I'm never buying it.

Go to hell.

I would have paid you if I lost.

Maybe. But you wrote it in a way ONLY YOU understood - no one else.
I didn't take part in the bet. I didn't put any money into pirate's business. But now I know I will never do ANY business with you.

The only lesson you taught the community was that you are not a reliable business partner.

Vladimir, I hope you'll consider firing Matthew and hiring a new Editor-in-Chief for Bitcoin Magazine. This recent stunt from your chief editor might have killed your little magazine before it had the chance to fly. There is still time to fix it though.

If nothing is done about this, the reputation for the magazine will not be very good.

It's not Vladimir's call. I already replaced myself as Editor-in-Chief 2 months ago. Just waiting on them to formally sign in.

I like how the goal posts keep moving. Not a week ago you referred to yourself as editor in chief.

LOL in my book you are ATLAS #2.

You did not pay the bet, you are a scammer

According to which law? I paid already. Please see earlier posts. Thanks!

It looks like you're challenging people at finding out which companies you work for or are associated with.

This is certainly entertaining

You're giving credibility to that kind of 5 year-old logic by arguing about it.

He's a lying scammer trying to scam people out of their money. What's sad is that he thinks he's not.

Right as we all were betting just numbers and not actual bitcoins.

Nice try.

I'm sorry. You are right.

No, I'm pretty sure if anyone is learning a lesson right now, it's the loud mouths who were attacking Pirate investors for being "ignorant". I guess they too are getting a dose of their own medicine!

I already paid 20 BTC for each entry as described in the bet thread. I'm not quite sure what you're talking about.

You're the only one learning a lesson here.

Who said anything about the law.

If you are so sure your interpretation is valid why not submit it to arbitration.

Well, its too bad this had to happen, whether you think you are a scammer or not, you should resign / dissociate yourself from BTCMag. As you said, even if you are just acting "unethically" that still hurts the magazine, and the best thing you could do at this point would be to apologize to Vlad for dragging him into this, and just walk out.

You sold the bet as a method of hedging losses for Pirate investors.  A large portion of the bets were from Pirate's victims.  Some victims didn't sell PPT for 30 cents on dollar because they could hedge with you for 50 cent on the dollar.  They could have sold and recovered 30 cents but THEY TRUSTED YOU.

BTW I never trusted you.  I knew you would lose the bet and not pay.  The reality is some people trusted you and lost because their trust was misplaced.  The only lesson you taught people is that you can't be trusted.

If I lose the bet, you get 20BTC sent to that address (13dSK4663Ts7j2PwHS1eUVjycKLBwx7PJM). If you lose, you'll need to send 20BTC to my address.

for anything other than the better getting 20btc, wouldn't you have to be more explicit?  (e.g., 20btc will be sent..; you get: 20btc sent to; etc.)

Oh right you sure showed them by lying and acting foolish.

Keep playing word games. Theymos himself saw right through your bullshit.

Keep dodging.

You talk about lessons learned or teaching people lessons but i'm not you've accomplished anything but destroying your own reputation and name as well as affecting others who work closely with you.

IIRC, Mathew and Atlas had a 'thing' a while ago.  Late night rap sessions about what it's like to have mental problems or some such.  But they had a falling out and broke it off.  My conjecture is that they have similar psychological maladies, but Mathew is at his core a decent person whereas Ortega is a classic sociopathic dirtbag (who just happens to know libertarian philosophy backward and forward...)
