Mr Entitled, a.k.a. Joby "Thief and Liar" Weeks is very determined to get out of his probably COVID infested remand prison, especially since the case has been declared "complex" with vast amounts of data to be processed by both sides, if this is true
The jail has reduced visitation hours and prevented lawyers from talking to their clients except through glass windows and an intra-facility video screen, 20 minutes at a time.
This makes it far harder to review and analyze electronic evidence; holding a laptop up to the glass is an absurd way to review millions of pages of documents.
His personal appeal to Trump fell on deaf ears, so he's disputing the facts behind the decision to reject his earlier bail application, running to 48 pages...
Among the disputed reasons are "his personal relationship with Russ Medlin". eewww.
Weeks asserts he “does not have a friendly relationship with” Medlin.
Their relationship soured two years ago, when Medlin became angry with Mr. Weeks over delays in the build-out of a data mining center in Montana, and Mr. Weeks was cheated out of a business opportunity.
This doting father Weeks (he flew his newly born daughter to all the U.S. states in 42 days. Paid for by BitClub investors) would absolutely have known about Medlin's past child sex conviction, and as his recent arrest is for that very thing, it is obvious that Medlin was an active predator on other people's daughters, whilst he flew round and round the world, signing up BitClub suckers.
That was ok with Libertarian Weeks, but when Medlin (allegedly) rips him off for some money, he becomes
persona non grata.
Bitfury get a mention, as does AnarchaPulco where Weeks boasted on that infamous Soundcloud recording I parsed
here.
Weeks is full of "we's" and "ours" and for all the world is talking about
his company BitClub Network buying vast amounts of sometimes non existent mining equipment from BitFury, going to be "the biggest in the world", blahblah...
We've got 12 PH/s Bitfury containers
Have a listen if you're bored, and contextualise it during a very big growing pain period in Bitcoin's history, just one aspect being CloudMiningMania.
Think Genesis and the Marco's with their Iceland mining (in the early days they kept the BitClub Network banners, logos and tee's in the closet until a bunch of pissed up "Founder" MLMer's were due for their "VIP tour of BCN's" magic machines).
This is also where Roger Ver turns up and so begins the "Roger Ver and BCN saga",
which I covered here. Craig Wright also turns up.
(The Genesis/BCN tie up nearly culminated in a joint passive income MLM bot trader (supposedly designed by Genesis) venture a couple of years later, but something bad happened.)
So it's a bit of a surprise to find that rapidly-slimming FatBoy Weeks maintains that he was in fact only a go-between, being paid millions by BCN to buy from BitFury in their arms race with Antminer.
Evidence presented by the government showed $560 million flowing through a wallet tied to Weeks.
Weeks explains this away by claiming to be “a broker for Bitfury”.
In the ordinary course of that business, Mr. Weeks would accept large transfers of cryptocurrency into his bitcoin wallet as payment for the purchase of cryptocurrency mining equipment.
Mr. Weeks would then remit the cryptocurrency, less his brokering fee, to Bitfury.
The vast majority of funds for these sales that Mr. Weeks arranged between BitClub and Bitfury went to Bitfury; Mr. Weeks did not keep that money for himself.
One example he does provide reveals he earned $5 million on a $58 million dollar sale.
The total amount Weeks earned from over half a billion dollars flowing through his bitcoin wallet is not disclosed.
That's bullshit, some sort of implausible denial that he was an integral part of BCN, front man, money and contacts man and crucial to their success?
Apparently the DoJ have responded to his rebuttal with a 46 page one of their own. And his sorry arse remains inside.

Today's BCN geek's photo is Weeks and his not-travelling-so-much-these-days daughter Liberty* with Ron Paul, for whom Weeks supplied a 55 foot long limo.
