Hey Pirate, it's Monday....WHERE ARE MY BITCOINS ?

[sadpandatech]

You mean that someone that planned on running a multi-million dollars scam registered officially so everyone could see who he is?

There is no information on a Trendon T. Shavers, not even his age.

What website were you looking at? ;p

Of course not. Apparently the registration procedures are extremely lax in that place in Texas. There is no information on a Trendon T. Shavers, not even his age.

Since I don't know how things work in the US, I don't know how to judge this comment. Do you actually know anything about company registration, or are you just randomly making up facts. I really can't tell.

Where I live, the government makes sure who the partners are before registering an LLC. However they don't actively audit the company address or ask for any documents proving that you actually have permission to do business from the address you provide, so it's perfectly possible to run a scam operation if you are going to run in the end. But I have created companies in another country, and they were pretty anal about the location information. Maybe Texas swings the other direction and doesn't even ask for an ID number, but I highly doubt it. How do they even prove you actually are the same person who is liable for taxes?

Before the troll wars began, I sincerely believed pirate was running a scheme, but even though the troll wattage is about the same on both sides, I feel that a lot of inaccurate information is given by the team ponzi in an authoritative an condescending attitude, which is getting on my nerves regardless of pirate being a ponzi (or not).

In the US it varies a lot by state but it is pretty easy to register a company and states don't do any real validation.

https://ourcpa.cpa.state.tx.us/coa/servlet/cpa.app.coa.CoaGetTp?Pg=tpid&Search_Nm=GPUMAX%20TECHNOLOGIES%2C%20LLC%20&Button=search&Search_ID=32046504976

In the case of GPUMax a registered agent was used which means the paperwork was filed by a third party.  You will notice the filing is innacurate as the "principal place of business" is the registered agent's address (a common inaccuracy). The state should ensure that principal place of business is the principal place of business.  The simplest check would be to ensure it isn't the same address as a registered agent.  Also the information on directors or owners is missing.

Registered agents tend to be even more lax than states as they get paid per submission and don't want to discourage paying customers.  You can usually have one file for you by submitting info online without providing any proof of anything.  Hell you probably could find one which would register "We steal your money, LLC" with sole owner being "John Hamburgler Doe".

For the record, I not saying this means it is a scam, or that the identity of "Pirate" can't be determined.  I am just saying a company registration doesn't mean a whole lot, especially not for newly formed companies (which is why banks will often require guarantor if business has less than three years of records including tax filings).

Funny... I'm an attorney in TX and would be itching to do the legal action if in fact it turned out that this guy is Pirate@40 AND it turns out that he stole the funds.  Or perhaps work as a consultant for whatever firm was hired to prosecute.

Anyone know how to find out if this is not just a case of identity theft before we ruin his life completely?

How about not playing the fool, and waiting for the payouts? He said a week or 2, it's been 2-3 days.

Either way, I feel sorry for Shavers and his entire family.

[Tomatocage]

I imagine it won't be too much longer before the random pizza deliveries and prank phone calls start.

Childish kiddie shit pranks. Anyone doing this needs to grow up and move out of the basement.

[Mousepotato]

So has anybody so much as heard from him since last night?

also, unless you can for certain verify info it's not really good to list it up.

That marriage certificate has confliting info from the one filed with the clerk of courts, in date and maiden name....

Anyhows. Anyone who would be a potential victem if that be the case has all of his info already. And likely more accurate than what is available on the interwebs.

SHAVERS, TRENDON    101078   09/21/1982   THEFT O/20 U/500 BY CHECK

For someone reportedly turning 30, that would be an early start

That's probably his date of birth.

Edit: if you click the link, it is indeed listed as as his date of birth. Not the date of the offense.

Where did he say that? What exactly did he say?

[muyuu]

Does interest apply to this delay period? Or is it frozen?

Still talking smack but too cowardly to put your money where your mouth is I see.   Come on big man, there's a free 250BTC waiting for you over in Matthew's thread.  How can you possibly lose, right?

Until you actually show a little backbone, shut up with your nonsense.

[bitlane]

Fuck me...
I am the ONLY one showing any backbone.

[Scott J]

No, you are the only one working against their own interest.

Calling him out in such a way won't help you.

Dont forget, if pirate doesnt pay bitlane in 14 days (iirc?), he will lose his 5000BTC bet with Vandroiy.

Either Pirate is running a scam, and bitlane wont get paid anyhow, or he is  legit, and not paying bitline within 14 days will cost pirate a pretty penny. Bitlane doesnt have much to lose from yelling and being his usual noisy self.
