Matthew Neal Wright: You have been reported to the SEC and Korean authorities.

Whatever it is, it's there for the bad so you're just a self-defeating moron if you don't use it for your own good, even if it's in order to subvert it.

Or maybe people could stop being morons in the first place by not throwing their money at sketchy people and then get upset when it doesn't work out.

To the contrary, the State is obsolete and the less attention we pay it the more ridiculous and irrelevant it becomes.

Sure, that's why I didn't. Which doesn't make scams right.

Good luck with that.

That exaggeration ... from the beginning it was made clear that the punishment was the scammer tag.


If the bet had been lawful and had won not think you would have done this with all those who do not pay him.

 just in OP who reported MW bet welch to the SEC gets arrested for illegal gambling.

Sure you did tough guy. Did you sign your complaint "Pimp" too? I'm sure that will impress the piss out of the SEC when considering your issue with a pretend bet with a pretend currency with a pretend identity on the internet for an anonymous event that happened exactly as it was described by someone who is probably in Korea.

They are probably scrambling the SEC/Interwebz Anti-Fraud Squad Black Helicopter Fleet right now to go and catch this evil genius, and have him brought before the International Court of Interwebz Justice in Den Hauge.

Does you mom know you are fucking around with her computer?

We're still a few generations from this being an obvious truth. Too many people still conflate the State with self-government, but it will sink in as the State becomes a lesser agent in the next century. I wish I could live to see it.

Does anyone really think it's a good idea to bring the SEC in here with all the unregistered securities trading and money laundering that goes on through bitcoin?

[paulkoan]

Demonstrating financial stupidity with bitcoin to your countries authorities will give them additional ammunition needed to clamp down on bitcoin.

Smart move.

All his posts are gold, he's my favorite poster.

Except most of these premises are false LOL.

[RurrayMothbard]

I'm just surprised that people are surprised that he reneged. From the beginning, it seemed pretty likely to me that these "bets" were little more than boastful talk. And that includes the people that bet against Pirate. I'd be surprised if even 50%+ would've paid Wright if he won.

[mc_lovin]

Since you guys are reporting a bet to the authorities, and you were betting that someone else would (or wouldn't) pay up on an investment scheme so risky it would be considered gambling, or a big bet, I don't think much will happen of all this.  They won't take you seriously.  

However, we should launch a 3rd level of bet, will Matthew pay up the bet?  Place your bets.

P.S. Isn't gambling illegal to the eyes of the law?

All investments are bets. At some point, Matthew started advertising his bet as a hedging instrument against Pirate's default. That's when he allegedly violated securities law. I'd love to see that tested in court though.

Not sure why people here think it would be bad for bitcoin. I think it would be great to pass that stage already and see what kind of approaches would authorities make. That's when bitcoin gets consolidated. Do you guys honestly think it's never going to happen?

[chyort]

He deserves the scammer tag, but reporting him to authorities will get you nowhere.

And considering how much of a troll he clearly is, it will only make him more excited to hear this.

Case closed. Stop getting so fucking butt hurt because you didn't double your money. Only an idiot would think they would get paid out when the guy was taking on many thousands.
