Audio visualiser decodes the wav to a tinyurl link!!!

GPUMAX LLC business address someone else pointed out, some body trying to roast Pirate.

[totaleclipseofthebank]

Mitt Romney is actually Pirateat40, who is actually Satoshi Nakamoto?

Great, thanks for the lead! Wow great investigation guys! I guess Monday all will be revealed...? Of course, the original message may be real and this one fake, playing on the idea everyone is watching for new messages. But that is just a hesitation. What do you guys think?

And I'm somewhat new... I heard some guy pirateat40 had some sort of ponzi scheme, but do you guys think someone would actually try to frame him with something like this?

Anyone else think it strange that the google maps used was maps.google.co.uk? Is someone trying to hide their location or did they accidently give it away. (Strange if some people from the UK might be the hackers).

Considering that they misspelled the search query in Google Maps, I'm leaning towards the latter.

Wait a minute...

09/10/12 All shall be revealed(?)

Isn't that when Matt's bet runs out?

Matt stole Romneys tax records?

I think you can safely say this message relates to pirate and has nothing to do with the original hackers. The message was more than likely sent from people on this forum exploiting the fact they've got an unusual medium to interact with the world through.

At the Texas address from [Suspicious link removed]/9bxyde9, if you zoom out you see the building is business by the name of "Austin Foreclosures in Austin Texas" that links you here: http://www.austinfreeforeclosurelist.com/

At that tinyurl address, on the right hand side, google says two businesses are located there:

Northwest Registered Agent LLC‎
Petro Lucre LLC‎

One is a business that helps set up oversea bank accounts, and the other one has something to do with energy. If this is their answer to prove it, it's possible Romney has some investments that might make him look even worse. Maybe he made money off from the housing meltdown and home foreclosures, alternative energy, or had an account with Northwest... I really have no clue, but it is fun to google. I felt the need to hop on here and add my two cents after spending an hour or so looking through clues.

[totaleclipseofthebank]

It has already been found that the address in question is the registration address of GPUMax LLC (Pirateat40's mining company)

I agree, I like the thrill of the speculation and I hope you're having fun!

Has anyone tested the images for stenography? Possibly the f5 algorithm...? I might have some of my old stenography software somewhere on this HD, if I can find it I will check and see...

I see there is also a wav file and I DO in fact still have my stenography software, so I will see if I can find anything hidden within the images AND the wav file...

A message came through in binary again:

Translates to:

which of course is just http://x.oc/nbvq backwards

which leads to a .rar file which I downloaded, but it is password protected!

The message was actually found fully the other day on Reddit with the release of one of the tax forms as evidence. Good call but you’re a little late to the party.

There have been two messages since the ones posted to reddit. One two days after the reddit decrypt, and one last night/this morning (depending on your time zone).You can see this by checking the time stamp (although all the details are in this thread).

The reddit thread died a few hours after their decrypt. It seems everyone decided it was a hoax and lost interest. They are probably right about the hoax part, so if you just wanted Romney's tax returns then chances are slim. But if you are interested in bitcoin itself there is some interesting stuff there. Read through this thread to see what's happened since.
