Butterflylabs Huge SCAM

[Gleb Gamow]

The moral of the story, as always, you are better off not giving your coins/money to scumbags instead of giving  your money to scumbags and hoping someone will come to your rescue.

And I really hope none of you geniuses think or ever thought there would be any other result from this. They were never shipping shit, they were never refunding shit. They are conmen and they took your money.

That's not even the funny part. The real laugh riot is when a bunch of antigovernment, anarchist, libertarian, save the world Bitcoiners have to seek the assistance of the very government they're fighting against to correct their mistakes.

My absolute faves are the anarchists I used to talk to on this forum that believe in limited government and self reliance but were the first to cry to the government when pirate@40 fucked them over. ROFL

Great! Piss off the Libertitards.

Visit the above and see that a link has been changed. It used to be http://www.siclook.com/state-il/jeff-ownby_moIv.html

but is now http://www.siclook.com/state-il/jeff-ownby_hBlt.html

I didn't change it, nor would I have accidentally or purposely changed it. The first link doesn't work/exist. The following was what I was alluding to at the time:

This motherfuckin' piece of shit no longer mentions his affiliation with Butterfly Labs: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bruce-bourne-637aa43

Well, it's certainly interesting that Bruce Bourne is hesitant to mention his affiliation with Butterfly Labs (BFL), given that the checkered history of Butterfly Labs (BFL) could be construed as a stain on the reputation of an esteemed Harvard grad like Bruce Bourne. If people were to Google Bruce Bourne and the results showed that someone like Bruce Bourne was heavily involved in the unethical and unlawful business practices of a company like Butterfly Labs (BFL), they might question the suitability of someone like Bruce Bourne to hold positions of responsibility in other companies.

So I can see why Bruce Bourne would omit any reference to Butterfly Labs (BFL) in his LinkedIn profile. The only question is why Bruce Bourne, formerly of Butterfly Labs (BFL), thinks anyone uses LinkedIn ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The best scam would be if butterfly had units built months ago but setup them up to use meanwhile so being paid to mine twice

Well that would be interesting. To say the least.

from 2013, was I right ?   I read some companies were operating stock along those lines but just realised I had posted it myself already 3 years ago

For now, though, the company says its top priority is to get back up and running and allocate the revenue they make to customer refunds.

The fucker is breeding!

[QuestionAuthority]

Any Investigative Reporter types around here interesting in writing up a "where are they now" piece ?

Would be interesting to see what all the Butterfly Labs scammers are up to today.

I think Josh is working as a jump instructor or something, but wonder about the others.

I think they were spotted recently at the Ritz Carleton Grand Cayman.

I am sorry, maybe I wasn't clear. The problem is religion and people who believe in sky fairies being allowed to lead society. I am not part of the problem. I am the exact opposite of that. I don't believe in fairy tales and I am responsible for my own actions. I don't need magic to make me a good person.

If you need the threat of eternal damnation to make you a good person... You are not a good person.

For those not up to speed, that's Josh Zerlan singin' that tune:

If you believe in magic, come along with me
We'll dance until morning 'till there's just you and me
And maybe, if the music is right
I'll meet you tomorrow, sort of late at night
And we'll go dancing, baby, then you'll see
How the magic's in the music and the music's in me

I got a email from BFL, my FPGA miner will be shipping soon!

[QuestionAuthority]

Looks like their website and eclipsemc have finally shuttered.

I wonder what those cunts have been up to lately. Have any been able to find gainful employment ? Finding ways of living off the spoils of their hidden Bitcoin stashes ?

Josh Zerlan still works at iFly according to his LinkedIn account: https://www.linkedin.com/in/josh-zerlan-a4140478/

Why don't you just call him and ask how the gangs doing or I can do it if you're worried about doing it. Just don't be rude, obnoxious or threatening. Say something that will scare him like, "Hi Inaba, it's me Cocksucker, or am I Motherfucker, I get confused you've called me both. I was just wondering what you and the BFL gang are up to now that the case is closed. I hope you're enjoying my btc. We miss you on Bitcointalk."  Then just hang up.

That should drive him nuts. He'll run around iFLY calling all the children "Cocksucker". LOL

Sounds good. Remember, if you reach him, don't say anything illegal. I'm sure everyone here would like to tell him how they will roast his balls on their backyard BBQ but you can't do that. Don't be threatening at all and don't call him more than once. Don't be a stalker. Trust me, just having his former life and legal troubles bleed over into his current life will be enough to put a bug up his ass. ROFL

Because this case exists, would you assume they actually didn't steal as much money from people as was first believed?

If you have a class action RICO case against you that can grow to an enormous number of claims as more people join and you don't leave the country, doesn't that mean you're broke. You would need to either be broke or retarded to stay in the USA and face all these cases with a million dollars in reserve. The way Bitcoin is climbing you only need 750 btc locked away to have $1,000,000. And if they are broke you can sue them to death and you ain't gonna get blood from a turnip.

Why are they not sitting in Panama having drinks with Erik Voorhees? I don't get it.

Sonny Vleisides would be if he wasn't still on probation. Rest assured that Sonny has bitcoins and or cash stored away, ready to be touched once his name his cleared with the courts. The bitcoins processed by BitPay stemming from the bitcoin wallet address - 1QAHVyRzkmD4j1pU5W89htZ3c6D6E7iWDs - prior to the FTC briefly taking over the remaining bitcoins DID NOT go to a BFL bank account, but to several in Sonny or his close cohort's name, for Sonny is well versed in structuring bank accounts.

TBC, if you, I, the King of Siam, or Robert Mercer wanted to exchange a dollars worth of bitcoin to fiat via BitPay, we all would be denied, yet Sonny successfully exchanged over ten million dollars of bitcoin to fiat, and I have all the proof, whereupon a myriad crypto-based periodicals published countless articles on said affairs. Oh, wait! My bad! No rags wanted to touch the subject. I got this info mixed up with articles penned about a homeless man finding a laptop loaded with bitcoins or of a multi-million-dollar home in California sold via bitcoin or of some other mundane articles perhaps based on fiction as fodder for them rags.
