No. My best guess would be a former client of Trendon's who may have abandoned a project for 1 reason or another, leaving Trendon with control of the domain name.

Pure speculation on my part, but I can't see any other connection making any sense, although I have been wrong and still continue to learn new things daily.

You are the "internet detective." Your guess is reasonably believable.

I love being the 'Internet Detective' and I take my role very seriously.......I just wish I had a badge or a Certificate.

I mean paper profits are just the same right?

Knowing what everyone knows of my demeanor, would a gun be completely out of the question at this point ?

Okay here...

No complaints here (well, not many, anyway)

I think psy passes them out (I always thought I got mine from Matthew, but I learned now that he was quoting psy).

Well, you earned it Phin. Wear it proudly!

[bitlane]

Thanks Phinn... I appreciate it. From 1 'detective' to another

How could you, Phinn? Not sure if I'll be able to forgive you such misunderstanding.  It was one of my finest works on GIMP lol

Now search "Oak Crest" on this forum (use quotes). One address is probably real, while the other is a ruse (and one word).

Predates his ponzi, and the picture seems a match.

If pirateat40 is located in Texas, I could collect money from him for those owed.

What would be a fair percentage collection fee?

At this point, most people will gladly give you 90% !

I guess that would depend upon how you propose collecting the debt.

My mental universe has enough room to allow that BST may not have been a ponzi. At least not by design. Yes, it appears it most likely was, but I consider the matter strictly unresolved.

Accordingly, while I want my coins back, I do not at this point want to get involved with any rubber hose cryptography. But I do want an explanation. From neither team pirate nor team ponzi, but from pirate himself. I am way past out of patience with his jackoff can and mouse irc games.

Do you feel capable of extracting an explanation from him? including not only the nature of the business, but also total inflows and disbursements over time? How would you extract this information from a seemingly unwilling party?
