Of course I'm not certain but I doubt that address belongs to Pirate. If it did it would mean he owes at least 1 million BTC on paper, likely much more.
prolly 10x that

May as well include the initial evidence from the old thread since most probably haven't seen it.

Ahoy, pirates, bucanners, freebooters, corsaires,
This Saturday's Pirate Ride may be sailing from a different port. LBJ Park in Stonewall, to be specific. Looks like another gale-force day, similar to last Saturday. If only we could reef our sails.
Forecast points to gusting winds from north and northwest. I suggest two possible routes. One is the Sandy loop, probably ridden counter-clockwise. The other would incorporate Cave Creek and then up towards Willow City and meandering back via Wahrmund-Ahrens and North Grape Creek Rds.
I am looking for 1.5 to 2 hours of steady, more-or-less earnest cruising up and down hills, mostly to burn some calories and stimulate mitochondria multiplication. For those still interested in crushing hills in advance of West Texas climbing, well, my period for that training will have passed. (I may punctuate the group ride with some individual TT efforts once back at the park, as a final fitness honing effort before beginning sincere tapering for the Big Event.)
Open to other suggestions and comments. Hope to post a more concrete description tomorrow, or Thursday at the latest.
And by all means, if some Pirates prefer to ride out of Fred proper, please don't hesitate to post a "competing" ride.

This is where his name pirateat40 comes from.
Pirate had originally been involved in folding based projects when he discovered bitcoin. Since he had already been folding he had the hardware for mining as proven by his early interest in mining when he joined these forums, as well as selling hardware that he already had. He progressed to other areas including the buying up of debt when he came up with his scheme.
