And probably a very confincing one, at that... Oh the irony...  Imagine the small talk between actors between takes: Sonny: I'm Sonny Vleisides. Fellow Actor: Sec, while I Google that. Ahhhh, you're the Bitcoin dude who scammed closed to U$100M during your lifetime in various scams stemming from 1995 forward. Sonny: <sticks his chest out> THAT'S ME! But I'm on a good track now. I'm playin' Officer Jones in this movie. Wanna see my FBI badge? The reviews are starting to come in: http://valleywag.gawker.com/bitcoin-mining-company-screwed-customers-and-bought-gun-1638224170Vleisides and partner Nasser Ghoseiri (left) went on to become some of the most hated actors in Bitcoin world, earning Kansas-based BFL a notoriously unscrupulous and scammy reputation, even in a fledgling finance sector that's no stranger to unscrupulousness. |

That's funny, bud, just as funny as the only guy part of the BFL fiasco to be successfully found guilty of a crime, now serving his third year under surveillance (can't stalk 26163 West 108th Terrace, Olathe, Kansas 66061), namely the dude penning this post thanks to weird looking parachute jumper dude who feared for his life because I posted a pic of his BTC-house master bathroom on his birthday while we here were enjoying sticking it up his ass for stolen valor causing him to edit his bio on BFL's Nefarious Actors page. |

After actually buying an AR-15 of customers... I mean; BFL's company funds... PS. has it been three years allready? They say that if I behave, I can have the ankle bracelet removed in three more years.  If you or I were on probation for committing a felony, you would be locked up if you had a weapon located at the business which you own regardless who owns it, especially if it were purchased with company moneys. But in Sonny Vleisides case, he merely gets slapped on the wrist again and offered to play an FBI agent in a movie. Further, you or I would be hard-pressed to visit North Korea, but Josh Zerlan had no problems crossing the border. Now that furry pervert is fondling teens at some skydive venture in KC while one of BFL's thieves, Bruce Peterson, is back at home living with mommy. Speaking of honey badgers not giving a shit, I once got a call from the Nevada, Iowa, police department instructing me that I'm no longer allowed to evoke the name Bruce Peterson, so I won't.  One more thing, if you had a business that accepted bitcoins and used BitPay as your third-party payment provider, once they send you a dollars worth of bitcoins, you can't sit on it for a spell, then sent the coins back to them so to be converted to fiat and sent to your bank because ... wait for it ... BitPay IS NOT an exchange and NOT licensed to conduct such. BUT, if you're Sonny Vleisides, you can get tens of millions of dollars of bitcoins via BitPay for purchases of miners, sit on the coins, then later convert tens of millions worth of bitcoins into fiat via BitPay, directed to various bank accounts, with Sonny NOT suffering any subsequences. In fact, the FTC confiscated the wallet address I'm alluding to, then ... wait for it AGAIN ... gave it back to Sonny, whereupon he was able to pick up where he left off. One more thing, under the watchful eye of Sonny's probation officer, he funded a charity, then took all the funds outta the charity and used it ALL to pay BFL bills. I'm pretty sure that some bubba would be fuckin you or I in the ass right about now if we pulled such a stunt. Here's a good one! http://waynedupree.com/trump-supporter-trump-protester-becomes-friends-media-ignores-will/ (guess which one's the Trump supporter) |

Josh Zerlan is a bigger faggot than I am. He should have been part of the trial. Remember that time he cried when the courts posted his unredacted SSN in the early version of his testimony ? That was beautiful. I hope the guy spends the rest of his life fighting off identity theft, and looking over his shoulder. You wanna buy from me his SSN and DL#. Oh wait, that was another reason Josh gave the courts for fearing for the lives of himself, wife and kids, kids that he claimed he didn't have during the deposition but were disclosed on my restraining order. This fuckin piece of shit needs his balls cut off and fed to him. That said, I have no fuckin idea why the judge thought that I was a threat to Josh Zerlan. 16 Q And have you been married before then?
17 A Yes.
18 Q And what was that - what was your former spouse
19 name?
20 A Candace Carroll.
21 Q And what is her date of birth?
22 A I don't know.
23 Q Do you have any children?
24 A I do not. 2 Q And do you understand that false testimony during
3 this deposition may subject you to perjury
4 charges?
5 A Yes, I do. 4 Q Have you used or do you use any other names or
5 aliases?
6 A Just Josh. 7. Q What's an Inaba? 8. A Excuse me. 9. Q Inaba? 10. A Never heard of it. |

8 Q And do you have an approximation of about how much
9 mining revenue goes into the active wallet on a
10 monthly basis?
11 A I would have no idea. I
12 Q And you said you have no idea.
13 Do you monitor that wallet at all?
14 A No.
15 Q Do you use that wallet?
16 A NO
17 Q Do you have access to it?
18 A No. That's odd! Josh claimed he didn't have access to the wallet depicted above (nor any other BFL wallets), yet he paid me 10 BTC directly from one of them wallets to satisfy a bet, where a year later BFL sent me a 1099 for them 10 BTC. I hate to say it, but I'm leaning heavily toward Josh Zerlan being a lyin' piece of shit. I reserve the right to retract that statement in some future life (or in two weeks, whichever comes first) if definitively proven that I was in error in my assessment in this life. |

The only thing that panned out was the delivery of units, which if I had to do over again I would have requested delivery of them all so that some funds could be recovered. I think I lost somewhere around 400 BTC as a result of BFL's incompetence. Shocking that they didn't refund anything to the remaining customers and avoided lengthy jail sentences. |

You've got the FTC to thank for that. BFL were likely to deliver a large number of units, but the FTC came in, squatted on the company, billing charging $1m+ a month in professional fees until the company ran out of money. It was a weird situation, and I doubt the FTC person in charge did much for their careers. |
