There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

Good thing its obvious that Pirate had his lawyer draft that statement, so its a clear, factual and unambiguous statement and doesnt read like the rant of a desperate half drunk guy looking to buy a few more weeks. I particularly love this line "Those looking to file a suit against me or BTCST will not be eligible for repayment". Yeah, thats how it works  . What he said isn't actually that divorced from reality. It would have sounded better if he'd said something more along the lines "The earliest funds will be available is Oct 12, and once that happens accounts will begin to be repaid. Account holders who file suit against me or BTCST will not be settled until the outcome of the suit has been determined." |

So, someone showing evidence that the 1Dky address belongs to Silk Road is proof that it belongs to Pirate? |

Well, that was textbook extortion right there. Something to add to the suit.

+1 And this is what pirate wants. Time is precious(ssss...) for him so he will do anything to increase his chances to run away without being caught / found in a 3rd world slum (lol). But it is understandable that those that are owed money will believe him. Let time take its course. |

I am TYGRR.BOND-P holder , although the price went up after his statement, I think that is bad news for us.
Goat intends to bring it by legal means and seem pirate don't likes.
Honestly, I never liked the idea of putting lawyers in these businesses, there is bitcoinica, I still not see a penny, I consider as the most desperate action, if not only serves to lengthen even more things.

[02:15:49] <pirateat40> Threats are taken seriously by myself and my attorney. A few of you will find out how serious I mean.
Sad thing is, its becoming illegal to trash talk on the net in the States (online bullying bills). He may have the law on his side on this part.

Has anyone with a lawyer actually contacted pirate's lawyer? Is there even any proof that pirate is working with a lawyer? If pirate was serious about repaying, he would be buying back his own debt at 5% of its face value. He obviously isn't, so I will assume his statements are simply more delay tactics. [02:15:38] <pirateat40> Those looking to file a suit against me or BTCST will not be eligible for repayment. I lol'ed. |

In the case of all this be true, it makes sense that if you file a suit you don't get pay, you'll have to wait until the legal process is over ...after a lot time and money lost

And if he still had the money or the BTC, he would be enjoying life abroad instead of keeping trolling and bullshitting on irc. |

On the positive side, pirateat40 has "secure the USD backing the coins". Ironically, this is the very thing that is making it "much more difficult".
Read it more carefully. He claimed to have made a move to secure the USD, not to have actually succeeded in securing the USD. Quite possibly he (in the fictional-or-not scenario he might be trying to convey or imply) tried to grab the dollars to make up for the client not giving him the coins, and didn't get the dollars or the coins thus now has to wait until a court date to find out whether a judge is going to tell the client to give him the coins or to give him the dollars. -MarkM- |

No generally that would be stupid. Pirate would also need to spend lawyers fees potentially tens of thousands of dollars in lawyers fees to defend against multiple lawsuits. So rather than pay "X" to the people suing he would not pay them, spend $10,000 potentially lose the suit, pay X, plus any other fees and penalties the court throws at him for being a world class scumbag. People who are sane settle up with those filing a suit first. What are the people not suing going to do? Sue? Pay = Nothing to sue about. Don't pay = could cost you thousands extra.  Then again Mr. Trevors is just scamming lowlife garbage. Anyone who had a legal counsel would have been advised to not say anything. Not a single word. It would be his lawyer who made the statement. Generally that is what lawyers do. You can also bet his lawyer wouldn't be stupid enough to document attempted extortion and fraudulent conveyance against the creditors that he admits owning funds. Mr. Trevors has legal counsel like I have Satoshi's private keys. Funny how desperate people fall all over themselves to connect the dots in the most implausible way possible to show themselves "it could be true". October will come and go. Then there will be another excuse. Maybe he blames it on the lawsuits. One of the people suing got a court order freezing the bank account so he can't pay until he can fight that and get it lifted. Oct into Dec. One of his investors got cold feet because of all the suits. Dec into Feb. Next September some on the forum will still be holding out hope that "soon" they will get paid. |
