I'm now looking into hashking. hashking, as in Silver King, Sonny Vleisides' Daddy-O, and also pens two spaces after a full stop just like Sonny. I've already seen a myriad transactions from EclipseMC.

Also, I'm seeing transaction to and from Pirate's Ponzi scheme: https://www.walletexplorer.com/wallet/005d972e347e9b8b?page=20. Maybe Courtney N. Pierce gave Sonny permission to trade with Pirate.

Goodbye to scamming, scheming Silver King, who had mettle if not metal

'Tis the time of year when we look at people who have died throughout 2012, even the scamps and scalawags.

One such rogue was James Ray Houston, who died Jan. 25 at the age 68, according to prison records.

Don't recognize the name? Former Nevada Archivist Guy Rocha summed it up well. "James Ray Houston essentially tried to hustle the state."

Back in 1974, when the self-proclaimed Silver King was 28, he was wooing Nevada voters, seeking the governorship as an Independent American. If elected, he wanted to change the monetary system.

He was crushed by popular Gov. Mike O'Callaghan, but despite only being a resident since 1969, Houston ran almost even with the Republican candidate.

When KSNV-TV, Channel 3's Tom Hawley broke the news recently that Houston had died in a federal prison where he was serving 10 years for wire fraud in an international lottery scam, a lot of memories came back.

First and foremost was how Las Vegas Sun reporter Harold Hyman broke into Houston's silver vault, discovered there was no silver and did an exposé just before the election. Hyman was aided by Houston's security guard Rod Franklin, who had been sending anonymous letters saying the Silver King had no silver.

Photos of an empty vault and the newspaper's disclosure that Houston owed $2.4 million still didn't stop more than 26,000 Nevadans from falling for Houston's hustle and voting for him.

I had the distinction of covering Houston's trial in 1978 when the founder of the Western Pacific Gold and Silver Exchange with offices in 30 states was accused of scamming more than 1,100 people out of $3 million, a lot of money then and now.

I watched as he testified over several days, charming jurors who found him not guilty after swallowing his story that he never intended to defraud anyone.

I'm ashamed to say I went to the party he threw afterward  to celebrate his victory. To my horror, I was given a engraved plaque for "Outstanding Journalist in the trial of James Ray Houston."

The verdict was an embarrassment for the U.S. attorney's office and enhanced the reputation of the late Las Vegas defense attorney John Fadgen.

Everyone knew that Houston was a scam artist, whether he was convicted or not. He was a man with multiple aliases, Social Security numbers, even birth dates. He made false claims about his past. No, he was not a descendant of Texas legend Sam Houston, despite his saying so.

After his acquittal in federal court, he tried to make a comeback, snatching more headlines for his new companies such as the Great Western Penny Exchange and the Metric Monetary Mint. He was always promising that his newest venture would pay off the people who had lost their money investing with him.

It wasn't completely clear what Houston did during the 30 years after he left Las Vegas around 1981. An occasional newspaper would report he had been investigated for various scams in various states, including California and Georgia.

In 2011, a California newspaper reported that Houston was the last of five defendants sentenced in a lottery scam that cheated thousands of mostly elderly people in the United States and Canada out of more than $25 million over 16 years. A few victims received money, but the rest went to the scammers, your typical Ponzi scheme.

My favorite Houston story was about how he was captured two years after fleeing Las Vegas, a tale of a federal agent's determination and an airline pilot's rigid instance upon following the rules.

Monday's column continues the saga of a con man who fulfilled many people's expectations by ending his days in prison.

The parallel between the empty silver vault and BFL's empty coffers (when the FTC came round) would be poignant, but who's surprised?

Find out who will get thrown under the bus on next week's episode of Big Fucking Liars.

I'll refund your money for your place in line, Hashking.

That was so sweet of you, Inaba.

#AskLEO

Just sent out a bunch of prinicipal payments.  

Youre doing it wrong.

Why am I doing it wrong?  Why is your way right?

Its not his way it is the universally accepted legal and right way.
Say you only pay back 1,000 BTC and then git hit by a bus and die.
So the creditors who were luck enough to be at the begining on the list get paid in full while other creditors get stiffed - nothing.
If you were at the end of the list would that seem fair and equitable to you?

Unless you designated some creditors "senior" and gave them seniority in any insolvency situation all your creditors are EQUAL and should be repaid EQUALLY.

NEWS FLASH:  YOU ARE AN INSOLVENT DEBTOR.  How you want to do things is irrelevant.  YOU OWE CREDITORS AND ARE IN DEFAULT OF YOUR CONTRACT.
If you have any integrity or decency you would be looking to resolve your debts in an equitable manner.

Obviously given your propensity to blatantly lie to your depositors it isn't all that surprising ...

I have alot of accounts under 10 bitcoins and it doesn't make sense for me to spread payments over these small accounts.  It's better that they are paid off.  Once I get to the bigger accounts I will change the payout method.  NEWS FLASH: This is the way I'm going to do it.  

If only BFL did the same thing that hashking did. Oh, wait...

Hashking is a scammer +1

Micon is a horrible poker player +1.

I'm glad I have found this.  Looks like I will pursue this.

Threatening people over the Internet is illegal in the United States. The crime of Threat by Instrument of Interstate Commerce is punishable by up to five years in prison. Conviction of this crime can also result in up to three years of supervised release and a fine of up to $250,000.00.Federal law 18 U.S.C. § 875(c) states: "Whoever transmits in interstate or foreign commerce any communication containing any threat to kidnap any person or any threat to injure the person of another, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both."

Case 4:14-cv-00815-BCW Document 298 Filed 04/28/15 Page 1 of 6

FTC’S SUGGESTIONS IN OPPOSITION TO DEFENDANT BF LABS INC.’S MOTION
FOR LEAVE TO FILE SURREPLY IN OPPOSITION TO
THE FTC’S MOTION TO DISMISS BF LABS INC.’S COUNTERCLAIMS AND
SUGGESTIONS IN OPPOSITION TO SURREPLY

The Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) respectfully opposes Defendant-Counterclaim Plaintiff BF Labs, Inc.’s (BF Labs) motion for leave to file a surreply in opposition to the FTC’s motion to dismiss counterclaims. (DE 293.) Surreplies are not favored in this district and there was no new argument raised in the FTC’s reply brief that would justify a surreply in any event. If the court does grant leave and permit the filing of the surreply, the FTC respectfully requests the court consider the FTC’s suggestions in opposition to the surreply and grant the FTC’s motion to dismiss the counterclaims.

You think that's long, just wait till BFL files their to-sir-with-love sursurreply including a reach-around clause guise as an argument.

Sonny Vleisides: I'm shocked! Shocked, I tell you that Jeff Ownby was operating online casinos in his office opposite mine, Bruno Kucinskas was sent an IRS Form 1099-MISC due to a gambling bet with Inaba, and Josh Zerlan was highly involved in Pirate's Ponzi scheme. And, when was that stripper pole installed next to Jody's desk? Also, did anybody else notice that Dave McClain has moles? BTW, Dave, thanks for the tatters.

[Gleb Gamow]

Here's an interesting tidbit: Josh Zerlan's supposed official start at BFL coincides with Pirate's Ponzi scheme defaulting: https://www.walletexplorer.com/address/1DkyBEKt5S2GDtv7aQw6rQepAvnsRyHoYM?page=6

Sunday 25 June 1995: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/no-taxes-or-bureaucracy-in-planned-libertarian-paradise-1588142.html

STARRY-EYED free-market dreamers are encouraging British investors to back a capitalist utopia that they hope will rise somewhere in the steamy jungles of the Third World.
Citizens of Laissez Faire City, a proposed libertarian paradise, will be able to live and do business without the onerous obligations of paying taxes, filling out forms in triplicate or complying with fusty old rules.

The group already has 60 founding members, each of whom put up $5,000 (pounds 3,125) and a recent advertisement in the Economist yielded a flood of letters and faxes. "Some of them have been sending us unsolicited money, which is more than we asked for," said Sonny Vleisides, editor of the Laissez Faire City Times, the newsletter sent to every prospective founder.

Nary a person got their money back, and the auditor-cum-receiver of LFC went it went belly-up is a member of this forum.

If you only spent time making less noise and improved the quality of the signal it might be worth following. But by all means "envolve" more Pakled and Furry memes please it makes it so much easier to follow what is flowing freely from your consciousness unedited.

Firstly, MA is NOT me.

Secondly, deep apologies for the signal to noise ration, but that's the best I can do while conducting this continual investigation that nobody on this forum but myself seems to be conducting.

Thirdly, has Josh Zerlan brought anybody else to court besides myself over made up charges due to my efforts of sticking it up BFL's ass?

Fourthly, like I've mentioned on a many occasions, I've never had a beef with you and even came to your defense during the time that Josh Zerlan was sticking it your ass. Also, I have no qualms with you considering me a racist because I penned the "term" NIGGAR in reference to one black gentleman that beat the fuck out of my niece and her son, and to my two white pieces of shit nephews.

Fifthly, regardless of all the above, are you, or are you not in the same camp as those opposite BFL?

I'm not looking for one iota of an apology in regard to this whatever-you-call-it, but can you at the very least refrain from sticking it my ass for doing the Goddamn best I can in making sure that BFL and it's principals get fucked in the ass big time at great expense to myself, again, due to my ongoing efforts?


"Besides the Zerlans, nobody will be wise to us being Pakleds."

[Leeroy Jenkins]

Yeah, Bick, buzz off already. You're derailing the thread and you're helping BFL in the process.

As for "signal to noise", you might want to get those rabbit ears adjusted, because you're clearly on the wrong channel or something.

Go tend to your trust rating and leave those interested in this topic alone. Thanks.

"Besides the Zerlans, nobody will be wise to us being Pakleds."

I had a thought yesterday about what some folks have been complaining about. If this comes across as curt or rude I assure you I did not intend any offense. I hope I don't say anything that could be misconstrued.

Some people are bothered by the clever asides. The images, the clever prose and the humorous stories.

I'm not one of them. What you do find is great. Some of what you find may make me feel cheated or betrayed by a company I once stupidly sent money to, and once thought farther a head and didn't pre-order. I don't really have anything useful on the pictures. While reading though information that I wish I had known in advance. Information that more often then I might want to admit makes me quite angry you put in funny pictures. So rather then getting so incensed that I start yelling or anything bad I get a little dose of levity. I do like them.

The clever prose I have less of a good idea on what to do with. It is not bad and frequently hints at things you have either uncovered or at least believe that you have found information about. They don't seem presented poorly and the suspense is "Two Weeks" shorter then a BFL order.

The humorous stories. I think of the court room asides and things of that nature. This is the one I was thinking about mostly. Possibly instead of having it (generally at the end anyways) part of the investigation. Possibly you could start a different hashtag or even just an alternate color heading. I'm thinking "Furry Tail Theater!". I generally laugh at this part. It is very imaginative, speculative, and the imagery is superb. Maybe people that only look for your hard work uncovering things would see the notice and skip that part if they didn't like it.

I don't know if any of this would actually help. No that's not true. I think the "Furry Tail Theater!" would help me a lot. When the raw data is too bothersome I could look for the humor before returning to the investigation. Still I wouldn't presume to tell you how to run an investigation. I don't believe I have done anything wrong but I would not enjoy you gunning for me. <<< I'm sure there would be no firearms used. Just lots of data and funny stories and pictures. Keep fighting the good fight!

That was curt nor rude. I acknowledge that there maybe be entertainment value in all the off topic rants. I personally don't want them gone, but I would love to have separate threads. One for the BFL Theatre and another one for the cold hard facts. Gleb is providing both mingled together. I don't have the time or inclination to set up a facts-only thread myself and I won't tell or expect anyone else to do it. So it's not likely to happen.

TL;DR: Live with it.

New info.

The Sharif deputy was just here to serve the court order RO. Basically, it's what the TRO stipulated of what I can't do lasting till April 24, 2016. Then, the Sandwich Police showed up to express that a certain somebody expressed to them that I'm a threat because of postings of banter on the internet by me of what I like to do with goats and little boys and girls, again, all BS and posted just for humor, which everybody gets but one person when the table was turned.

Tomorrow, I need to make some phone calls to see what I can and can't post about a certain entity.
