Got off the phone with the Guy from the S.E.C

[BitcoinINV]

So I called the guy on the email, left a voice mail and expected him to email me. Well As I was getting ready to hop in the shower he called back. Pirate40 is going to Prison...... he did not say the exchange was going to be closed cause he could not disclose that information but he asked 1000's of questions about it. When I told him I was going to move my money he said, might not be a bad Idea. I answered all the questions honestly, he had me on speaker phone and told me anything I said could be used for court purposes.
NOW
On to butterfly labs, I told him the situation with them and he told me to file complaints with the FTC and my state attorney gen...
advice for butterfly labs, expect a call lol.
He asked tons of questions about PPT operators, theymos and how to buy bitcoins.
I have to head out now but Ill update with more info to questions when I get back tonight.

Quit calling Mommy and Daddy to settle disputes. Instead, why don't people learn to watch how they conduct business and be careful of who they conduct business with?

OK, now I can decipher the original statement......the exchange is GLBSE, and you are thinking of moving your money off of the platform. 

10-4.

Lol, sounds like he said "I don't care, go on a government goose chase." Are people really this inexperienced with bureaucracy? I can see the AG enthralled with your story of how website members ordered computer equipment that was promised in 4-6 weeks, and it actually took 9-11 weeks to arrive instead. I'm sure they'll have a whole team on it in hours.

OP cannot even right a few paragraphs of text in correct English and with internal consistency. Not much of a source.

However, if Pirate is going to jail that is very bad news indeed

I'd say that's excellent news.

Why?  You think he was just going to pay everyone in full tomorrow except oops he is going to jail so he can't.

He wasn't ever going to pay anything.  Either he can't be (because he stupidly lost it) or he wasn't because he figured he got away with your cash.

He is scammer, thief garbage.  We aren't talking a couple GPUs here but millions of dollars.

It's really bad news for people who received any kind of payout from pirate during the whole operation. Google clawback. Welcome to the underside of the bus.

GLBSE is based in the UK and is subject to regulation by the  Financial Services Authority (FSA), we are in the process of becoming a registered company that meets all conditions to carry on business.

We have not been contacted by the SEC and are not subject to SEC regulation.

Nefario.

[Severian]

You're being pretty hard on garbage there. At least garbage is honest.

All of this, down to involving the SEC (who will now be all over this board), is a result of people allowing their obsessive acquisitiveness (greed) to overtake common sense. I watched the Pirate drama unfold and only rejoined this board when it fell apart.

I sometimes wonder if this board has a large share of dumb smart people or smart dumb people.

Everyone who was a part of that operation should have known better.  It can't come as a surprise to *anyone* that the legality of BS&T was dubious at best.  Since the beginning.  If you are a part of an illegal operation, you should be prepared for the consequences, and don't expect to keep any "profit".

You're preaching to the choir. Malevolent has one of my many prescient warnings (and really my last public appeal to logic on the matter) as his forum signature. And you're right, if pirate was involved in any additional illegal activities, such as laundering, etc, welcome to the second set of wheels on that bus. Good luck in not ending up in Gitmo.

I made the comment in that thread that this is not related. Theymos decided in our shareholder meeting on Friday night/Saturday morning to sell his stake. He doesn't want to be a part of the process of GLBSE becoming legitimate.
