BitForce Consulting LLC own by Josh Wepman

[Phinnaeus Gage]

EDITED 9-28-12: To whom it may concern: Today I looked this thread because I have failed to connect the dots. Currently, I don't have proof that Josh Wepman and Josh with BFL is the same guy. The Josh Wepman mentioned within this thread may be an alright guy. If anybody in the future is reading this to draw some sort of conclusion about JW, please don't judge him by what I have penned in this thread. The information here within was provided during a completely different research.

Bruno K (K is my real last name initial)


I found this last night and at the moment not 100% sure if it's the same Bitforce as BFL or if it's the same Josh, but felt sure enough at the moment to get this information out there since mega bucks is at stake.

Looks like you just screwed your own pooch. or maybe depends on your point of view.

I was laughing with Sonny this morning some poor SOB in Layfette is going to get shit hammered and wonder what the hell just happened.  Guess I was right!  I should send him some flowers or maybe a cake.

Quoted for the inevitable backtracking.

Josh, you have been pinned down! He'd found your name... nearly... Three letters are exact, the rest quite near... alphabetically...
How he guessed JWepman is Josh, not John or Jeremy? And will BitForce LLC sue BF Labs for using their name for the product? Wonders, wonders...

But to be honest, I appreciate posting this all as off-topic.

I was laughing with Sonny this morning some poor SOB in Layfette is going to get shit hammered and wonder what the hell just happened.  Guess I was right!  I should send him some flowers or maybe a cake.

Sonny K or Sonny V, of which BTW a third post by Sonny V was promised--the in depth interview offered up over the weekend doesn't count.

Atlas and I were were laughing over the phone this morning on how this may try to get brushed off probably in the form of stating an LOL took place between two parties.

See what I did there?

To be fair, I've yet to make a KC connection with all this but, as I mentioned, but it's too strong of a coincidence to simply be brushed aside oppose to sharing the find with the community, whereupon another astute user(s) will pick up the mantle (wrong word earlier) and start digging to either confirm or dispute my findings.

Either way, EFF will be getting a $100 donation from me, but only after a said event transpires. Thank you kindly, Josh, for sharing them with me. Thank you also for addressing my concerns in a professional manner (seriously).

Just to prove I'm not making this up (I suppose I could have edited the text, but I certify it's 100% authentic!):

[8:46:29 AM] Josh: Haha I think some poor dude is about to get shithammered because his first name is Josh and his company is called Bitforce Consulting.
[8:46:58 AM] Josh: I feel sorry for what is about to befall him.
[8:47:03 AM] Sonny: oh jesus
[8:47:39 AM] Josh: He's in Layfette colorado, which is a small town... he's goign to be like WTF just happened?  Please, make the bad men stop!
[8:47:48 AM] Josh: If I post to correct people, they'll just assume I'm trying to cover stuff up.
[8:48:47 AM] Sonny: link?
[8:50:09 AM] Josh: To Bitforce Consulting?  Phinnius is threatening to post damning evidence of my connection to Bitforce prior to last year.  So I Googled up Josh and Bitforce.
[8:53:59 AM] Sonny: to the thread
[8:54:18 AM] Sonny: ******* REDACTED (mostly unrelated) ******
[8:54:38 AM] Josh: I KNOW! RIGHT?  I'm going to the Plaza to hold a sign up "The end is near!"

Not to punch holes in the above, but Atlas and I also had a conversation exactly an hour earlier.   (sometimes I just can't help myself)

[8:46:29 AM] Bruno: Haha, Atlas. I can't believe theymos let you back on BitcoinTalk
[7:47:03 AM] Atlas: Me either, but the bribe helped. What's the latest?
[7:47:39 AM] Bruno: I found something last night about a guy named Josh and a company named Bitforce Consultancy LLC.
[7:47:48 AM] Atlas: You da man!
[7:48:47 AM] Atlas: link?
[7:50:09 AM] Bruno: You trying to trick me? How do I know you're not Josh or Zhou?
[7:53:59 AM] Atlas: LOL!
[7:54:18 AM] Atlas: ******* REDACTED (mostly unrelated) ******
[7:54:38 AM] Bruno: LOL!  I'm going to the Union Plaza El Cortez to hold a sign up "The end is near!"

[RHA]

OK, Bruno, you deserve to look here for (bit)coincidences: http://www.linkedin.com/in/tvleisides
1. Famous name
2. KC connection
3. NATO ("OMG! OMG!")
Surely you'll find much more...

Don't tell me you're also holding two other trump cards--the joker and the bug: http://www.linkedin.com/search/fpsearch?type=people&keywords=josh+wepman&pplSearchOrigin=GLHD&pageKey=nprofile-view-success

[repentance]

There's a Josh Wepman on Linked In who's an AVP at SAIC.  SAIC is an anagram of ASIC.  BFL produces ASICs.  Let the conspiracy theories begin.

Yes, I'm bored.

[Inaba]

Yeah, but mine is real, yours is fabricated... do you see the difference?

[Phinnaeus Gage]

I'm getting warmer! This phone number 303 ... 673 ... 0777 linked to the Enclave address has a C.W. (a woman with middle initial J) who's an OBYGN. Could this be the medical link? Not trying to grasp for straw to bed my alpaca, but...

Special Request: re. Phinned Down

A humorous definition, even at my expense, for the phrase "Phinned Down" is sought.

I now found a Jeffery at the Enclave address: http://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/UlsSearch/license.jsp?licKey=637981

The following is quoted to show the time stamp only.

Nope, not that Inaba.  It does involve hopping though, in a tangential sort of way.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hare_of_Inaba

Did I hit the nail? Hare, hop.

Dang I hadn't seen that before, but no that's not it.  But I'm pretty sure it's both related and probably the genesis of my name origin in a weird sort of way.

At 8:54:14 AM posted the above.
At 8:54:18 AM+ read the redacted post, then penning a reply that was posted...
At 8:54:38 AM

If I did the math correctly, I'm looking at it all being done in 24 seconds.

[Phinnaeus Gage]

Having held a TSSCI security clearance myself, I'm gonna have to call bullshit on your story, thanks for trying though.

I wonder if the TSSCI was obtain while in the military.
