The SEC is doing a pretty good job of investigating and prosecuting a ponzi schemer for an illegal bitcoin securities offering.
Bitcoin has made great progress in the past five month with regards to greater regulatory clarity.
The Shavers case has already established a judicial opinion that bitcoin is "money." I expect more precedents and even more legal clarity to come out of this case.
Regardless of whether or not there is recovery of funds, I for one would like to see shavers convicted for his crimes.

Just by buying Bitcoin in the US, you are committing multiple felonies. Is the SEC just putting a "blind eye" and focusing on jailing pirate because one butthurt employee at the SEC wants his money back.

Feel good to be Canadian. Government confirmed Bitcoin doesn't fall under money laundering law.
Anyway your link doesn't say trading Bitcoin is illegal. Only that precautionary measure need to be followed.

No that isn't even in the same ball park as what I am saying.
If you people don't understand why child molesters/murders/thieves etc need to be known to the public then I don't know what to tell you. Hopefully some people understand where I am coming from.
It just baffles me to think you wouldn't want to know if someone on your street has raped children in the past. I hope for their sake you don't have children.
Firstly, this has nothing to do with the thread subject, so quit derailing. Secondly, have a think about the following points; -my friend got arrested after pissing on a tree at a park and is now registered as a lifetime sex offender, with limited choices in employment or even housing. -if someone has been discovered, arrested, charged, sentenced and served their time, what business of yours is it? Oh, that's right. it's more of a warning so when you see kids going into said molesters house you know something is wrong. Did you even watch Minority Report? For bonus points, point out your ticky-tacky house below; https://i.imgur.com/BPaWTgis.jpgPlease don't reply in this thread, PM or make a new one if you must. The only people who say this and believe they shouldn't be pasted online are other child molesters.

It seems the new trust feature on bitcointalk is working flawlessly: I see a jerk posting jerk-stuff, and he already has a fat red -5 rating. This saves me 0.5 sec time I would waste on pushing the ignore button. Thank you theymos, now I see the value in this system! Ente

As far as the child molesters go its 100% my business. This isn't invading someones privacy, it's more of a warning so when you see kids going into said molesters house you know something is wrong.
Its offtopic but since there is no news anyway... if someone did a bad thing he goes to jail. Thats his punishment. If they believe he will do it again and he will go against after kids he will go to a madhouse until they believe he isnt a danger anymore. The same goes for thieves. He was punished and now he can start again. Not possible in usa. They sue 5 year old kids because they looked how another kid peed. oO And its easy that you go in your teen-years to disco, have sex with a girl and later the parents tell you she is underage. I mean in USA underage is 16 isnt it? What childs in this age didnt have sex nowadays? And if it turns out your old looking girl is underage you are a child molester for life in usa. No chance again. I believe if youre lucky and under a certain age this incident is deleted though. Point is. If someone did something wrong he gets punished. But having to start a new better live is something everyone should be able. I really wonder what the effect of the usa way is for their future lives. I doubt it helps living a better life when you are stigmated by your neighbours and everyone only sees the failure in you. I tend to believe forcing you in this role will lead to filling this role again. But im no scientist. Sounds like you don't know much about America. It's creepy how this forum thinks. You're saying its okay because she didn't look young. If you guys are all fine living next to child molesters without knowing, I hope you don't have kids. This is common sense to me, which we all know the masses lack. Anyways it doesn't surprise me people think like this nor does it change anything. Most people change their mindset about topics once they get older. Germany has a problem with child molesters, but that is because of the very conservative culture. They are created by Christian families who don't let thier kids have sex until they are married and that creates these sick desires. But it still is not as bad as in the US. Btw. talking about this is not really Off-Topic because whoever created this thread obviously just wanted to make a big circlejerk of idiots. Trendon is an idiot, the SEC is useless, and the investors will not get their cash. Not having sex doesn't make you want to molest children what the fuck is wrong with you?

Me? I'm just the cynical voice floating in the sea of unchecked optimism.

Oh the irony. But everyone that doesnt like a pillory for life is a child molester... sorry, couldnt resist. You are right that not having sex isnt making you wanting to molest children but the strict rules for clerics in europe, that forbid them to have wifes, seems to have lead to a lot child abuse in the past since pressuring down natural needs seems not to be for everyone. Black sheeps for sure. And im not really sure how much less it could be when the church wouldnt be so... anachronistic.

i got another mail back from the sec dude doing the investigation : Mr. xxx The Commission filed an enforcement action against Trendon Shavers in July of this year. The matter is pending before the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. It has not yet been resolved. Attached for your reference is the Commission’s complaint filed in the action. Best regards, Philip Moustakis can upload that pdf file if people are intrested
