[Muhammed Zakir]

Who cares, we do not do anything illegal.
                                                   

Did you read OP? Or are you just talking randomly. He never said WE are doing illegal things, he said theymos is doing bad thinga since he "is a government agent" i dont agree with it but thats what op point is. Incredibly enough theymos didnt delete this post and it doesnt seem he will wich really makes him look innocent to me.

Eh, he can't do anything regarding that matter because the authorities mandated him to do so. The BFL is involved in an activity involving a ton of money, and the feds love chasing those people who made the atrocities.

[Bicknellski]

More likely... he has been caught up / implicated in a government investigation and is required under an agreement for no jail time to turn everything over without subpoena to some three letter agency when asked. Not that I think that but it is much more plausible. Something akin to the Silkroad where agents assumed identities is also more probable than this would be some sort of gov't honey pot and he is some sort of agent.

Facts:

I think there is more than one man named Michael Marquardt in the United States.

If you say something is in the blockchain and don't show where I don't believe you.

There is quite a difference if an individual is an employee of a state representative (a state employee) , a federal agent or a federal informant. 

---------

What I really want to know is this

How was the op of this forum able to change their name from MR anonymous vip , to satoshi to TradeFortress ?? 

Does being a donator to the forum allow you to change your user name ?

If not how was this person able to change their name.


Also another poster in this thread changed their name from what it is now to Satoshi.

I posted my second post pointing to the true satoshi.

Then shortly after they change it back and i think other people on the thread modified thier posts also but i cannot be sure on that.

Yes, you guessed it right. If you are a donator - as a result you will gain an ability to change your nickname. Normal users can not change their names.
The only problem here is I didn't know that you can change it to be exactly the same as someone else's name. As you could see there were two account named 'satoshi' at some point.
I am not sure how it is possible. Maybe he used some blank spaces in this name, I am not sure. But you can tell by forum ID when you check profile: real Satoshi ID is just user no3 and this fake is some higher number.

He changed 'display' name not username.

The username and display name are different but I don't know how they changed it. I just tried to change mine to satoshi and satoshi ' and it said the username is reserved.

they were probably either using a special characters or used invisible characters at the end of their name or theymos made adjustments so VIPs cannot change their username to something similar to satoshi

Edit: it was most likely that one of the characters was special. TF was using "satoshi" and a Google search with that term only comes back with a bunch of forum posts from TF, while a Google search of me manually typing "satoshi" comes back with more results.

Here is PM theymos once send me:

Hello. I'm writing to let you know that due to a subpoena that I received related to a case against BFL, I was forced to release some of your PMs.

In particular, I released all PMs that you sent to or received from the following people, possibly even if you deleted the PM:

Inaba
BFL-Engineer
BFL_Josh
SLok
BFL_Sonny
BFL AM Dave
bcp19
nibbknot

I marked this information as confidential per this protective order, but this does not completely prevent the PMs from being made public. In particular, I believe that BFL has full access to the PMs and could choose to release them.

If you want to know exactly which PMs were released, respond to this PM and I'll look it up.

I regret that this was necessary. Hopefully it does not cause you any trouble.

open ur eyes ppl, theymos not to be trusted.

Actually, that is really nice of him. I'm surprise there wasn't a gag on the subpoena.

It all pertained to the Wood Law class action suit against BFL.

Interesting list of user names, eh? I say that that nibbknot dude, whomever he is  , is the one that has the most to offer up for the investigation.

Name these "big companies" with websites constantly going offline (for days on end) because their service providers were "social engineered" to hand over root password to their servers.

Bitcointalk is not constantly going offline. The last time Bitcointalk went down was over a year ago.

lawl, it goes offline all the time. i am getting errors right now. probably a ddos.

I knew it! Theymos lied via Twitter that bitcointalk was offline: https://twitter.com/bitcointalk

:facepalm:

We are all involved in a technology which, being decentralised, can offer a future free of government interference.

In the meantime, however, ANY centralised service you use on the internet could expose your personal information to nefarious types, either black-hat hackers or government agents.

How about you just behave yourself as far as you are able in the meantime and assume that anything you do online is being watched.

Because, otherwise, you are declaring the sky to be falling here at BCT, while ignoring the fact that every other facet of the WWW is equally prone to exposing your personal data.

[Gleb Gamow]

OP: That's not me.

Thank you for replying but color me suspicious.

The matriarch in theymos's household is not named Jeannie.

Its not like could, it is. Everyone knows it, i guess? Of course government has access to certain personal data when needed, why wouldnt they? If you didnt do anything wrong why would you care? Its not like they are watching every single person all the time, it seems that thats what some people think...

[alch1mista]

Picture of Theymos aka Michael Marquardt ?

Dr. Michael Marquardt is Professor of Human Resource Development and International Affairs as well as Program Director of Overseas Programs at George Washington University. Mike also serves as President of the World Institute for Action Learning.



 

Reminds me of someone else..

Garza's latest project already crashed and burned: http://bitcoinist.net/press-release-btc-com/

Homero stopped payments on BTC.com and lost it today after making a sizable down payment and $25,000/month payments for 8 months. It had sat idle for 7 months until a couple weeks ago when he conned Bitcoinist into "leasing" it from him (it is likely they were not actually paying anything, just offering pimp service for Homero's scams), and that was a complete and total failure. Quite the shrewd businessman.
