BFL fucked us over again (redux)

[sbogovac]

Title of the thread changed to "bfl / bf labs / butterfly labs is FUCKED over again"

h/t to Puerto that we're moving away from us getting fucked since FTC is in full swing and to maximize SEO juice

Edit: I have about-faced the title change, because BFL is still around fucking people over.

So... The title of the topic is back to "BFL fucked us over again (redux)"...

Thank you for pointing out the obvious.

Well:

1. It wasn't so obvious as the topic got full with all kind of meme's again;
2. I personally liked the "new" name more; and,
3. You're welcome.

I haven't seen a dime from them, just empty words.  They owe me well over 8K with nothing to show for it.  Scam!!!

Call Helen Wong and Sonny's probation officer, especially the latter. The probation officer is in place to make sure that the public is safe from Sonny ripping off more people like the tens of millions of dollars he stole and used for his personal affairs garnered from mostly the elderly here in the US.

Got an office or phone number we can call?

Call Ms Pierce tomorrow and she'll immediately call Sonny, whereupon Sonny WILL lie to her explaining how either he already paid you or he's doing such as they speak. If neither, Sonny can explain to the judge where that smell stems from, with it most likely coming from the shit in Sonny's underwear.

It's good to see people still read this thread without admitting it.

I take it one of BFL's spies didn't have much luck in fooling people into identifying themselves on Facebook. 2 posts and no activity afterwards.

Creepy.

Seriously Bruno, you are demented in your dogged pursuit of falsehood.  If you cannot accept the truth in front of your eyes, then I pity you.

In case the essential lurker is lurking, I present to him something to read.

This is your fantasy, which does not make it true.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=441275.msg5069190#msg5069190

it was given as a gift

Yeah, they gave you a "gift". So tell me, how many bitcoins did this "gift" generate for you?

Interesting how you have to hack up the data that is put out there, let me fix that for you:

it was given as a gift with no strings attached

This is why you fail so badly, you leave out the important part of the statement.  Your dogged pursuit of this lost cause is stupid.  Just because you have the peanut gallery (Bick) cheering you on only highlights the stupidity of people like yourself.  Bick's statements are non-sequiturs that only make sense is his febrile brain.  He crows over the fact he's ignored me, yet he has to post about me every chance he gets.  It's amazing how invested he is in what I say.  It's funny how *I* post no news about the company, that all comes from the clowns rooting for their demise.  Every word Josh posts elsewhere is repeated here by one of the slavering trolls that seems to think it's important to show the world everything going on there.  It's funny... YOU, Bick, Joe, Searing, YAPYAP, K9, etc are the ones KEEPING the name BFL at the top of the forum.  What's even funnier is that even negative publicity is publicity.  YOU are helping to sell products through your stupidity!  Yet even telling you this means nothing as you'll keep posting.  You claim I am being paid, yet you're doing it for free!  If I were being paid (which I am not) that would make you even stupider.

Face it, I've already detailed exactly WHY I post here, your failure to accept that is stupid.  The only reason you pursue this so badly is that you have no other outlet for your hatred since Josh doesn't post here any longer.

Man, the way bcp19 writes, it's like he's a poor douchebag enjoying the highs of men-o-pause. I can smell the blood stain from here.

Ummm, what you're smellin' is the shit in Bruce Peterson baggy blue pants. The blood smell stems from Judy's twat, whereas the blood is from where John Mutrux stuck his dick in the electric pencil sharpener.

Perhaps Sonny Vleisides should convert to Catholicism from Greek Orthodox so that Dave Mclain can hunt him down a job.

If Dave could find a job for his wife at Victoria's Secret, surely he should have connections for Sonny to run a cash register at some BBQ joint if he's not qualified enough to fill the void at Cache due to Mary McClain being terminated.

"Make a path! I need to see the judge."

[Gleb Gamow]

Like, WHAT THE FUCK!

Bitcoin’s Most Controversial Startup

Laissez Faire’s founders took out an advertisement in the Economist to promote the new city. People began sending in checks to buy plots of land. “Some of them have been sending us unsolicited money, which is more than we asked for,” Vleisides told the newspaper, which listed him as the “editor of the Laissez Faire City Times, the newsletter sent to every prospective founder.”

After 1995, there’s scant mentions of Laissez Faire City online, and it appears the project simply fizzled. (Vleisides chose not to comment about his involvement in Lasseiz Faire City for this story.)

The first paragraphed (above) was probably gleaned due to my efforts: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=207331.msg2220187#msg2220187

The very next paragraph above and as it appears in the linked article makes no fuckin' sense whatsoever, given that LFC went into receivership in early 2000s with the liquidator being a member of this very forum.

BTW, in Vleisides form, nary a member has yet to receive their refunds for the millions plucked down on LFC.

If this reporter would've none his homework, he would have learnt that Sonny Vleisides conducted his lottery scam from LFC's headquarters. He would've also learnt that Sonny and Jeff Ownby were partners in the online casino arm of LFC.

"When I visited, the company was clearly in crisis mode. Sonny Vleisides, the company’s founder, was guarded. He wouldn’t meet with me without the presence of his public relations staff member."

Reporter: How tall are you?
Sonny: I rather wait till my PR dude, Jeff, gets here before I answer that question. Please don't scare me with any more of your questions.

Sometimes I wonder if Vleisides is Ancient Greek for pussy.

[Gleb Gamow]

But that wasn’t Vleisides’ only questionable venture. Over the next few years, while still living in Costa Rica, he started a software company called SportsBook Solutions that provided the digital backend for the newfangled world of online gambling. He ran the company into the early 2000s, right when online gambling was taking off.

But while traveling in Florence in 2007, he was picked up by Italian police and accused of running a “massive international lottery scam.” Prosecutors claimed that from 1990 until 2006, Vleisides, along with at least five other co-conspirators, sent out tens of thousands of mailings to victims in the United States, many of whom were elderly. The mailings advertised various lotteries and falsely promised participants a high likelihood of winning.

The author also forgets to mention the millions stolen from players who used the various gambling sites that Sonny and Jeff Ownby operated.

And, Sonny traveled to Florence to hide at his brother's house, and not on some fuckin' holiday.

Maybe in 3-5 years, we'll finally learnt have Sonny Vleisides used BitPay as an exchange to convert millions of dollars worth of bitcoins to fiat oppose to ONLY as a third-party payment processor, the ONLY thing they're licensed for. If ONLY I HAD TAKEN THE TIME TO PEN AT LEAST ONE POST DEPICTING THE PROOF!

For folks still awaiting their refunds, here's 93.97720823 BTC that BFL still has in their possession: https://www.walletexplorer.com/wallet/56896a896672bb6d

Who the fuck knows where the money went from the sale of Sonny's BTC-House.

Also, where did the money go from BFL's BDF that folks donated moneys to?

Judge: Sonny, was the BDF a charity?
Sonny: Yes.
Judge: Did others donate to it?
Sonny: Yes.
Judge: Was the charity registered?
Sonny: No.
Judge: What did you spend the money on since down it's now liquidated?
Sonny: BBQ. And, before you ask, I brought along two toothbrushes.
Judge: Why two?
Sonny: One for my PR guy I hope to share my cell with.
Judge: Josh?
Sonny: Wait, what? Three to a cell?

#AskLEO

When I met with him last month, Vleisides said he preferred not to talk about any of this. “I just don’t want to go there, in terms of disappointing anyone,” he tells me over sweet potato pie in his favorite BBQ joint just outside Kansas City.

“I’d like to think that everything that I’ve gone through, I’m going to go out there and show everybody how they can depend on me,” he says. “I could be a person they respect. I need to overcome the stigma of the conviction. I really do.”

On a muggy Wednesday morning, I arrived at Butterfly Labs offices, a 6,700-square-foot space that doubles as the company’s assembling facility. The building, situated in a commercial part of town, looks more like a scene from Office Space than a high-tech startup
