If you know Trendon Shavers (www.trendonshavers.com) and you know the make and model of the brand new BMW or the F550 truck he recently purchased on any other assets he has,  you might want to let the IRS know about it.  Any assets Trendon Shavors has or controls could only have been purchased with fraudulent income from his Bitcoin Securities Ponzi scheme.

Info about BMW and F550 was gleaned from where?

Neighbors.   I'm trying to get photos but everyone close to them is afraid to give up info for fear the bitcointalk banditos will show up at their door.

If, they will show up at Trendon's door; and this would not be pretty.
I see no reason why a neighbor should be afraid; they have nothing to do with what happened.

I'm sure that someone would be smart enough after investing $1.27 for a dozen eggs that they're not get to hit the wrong target.

Please refrain from the vigilantism.  The purpose of this thread is for individual familiar with Trendon Shavers to provide information as to his whereabouts and/or any assets that he may control it an effort to pursue prosecution and recovery through LEGAL means.  No one's going to "drop a dime" that fear of becoming collateral damage due to some internet wackjob's vendetta (whether real or imagined).

Right now the US SEC is investigating him ( and unfortunately, probably others) for securities fraud.

Large creditors may be pursuing other legal means.

So the only other option currently available is for the IRS to pursue him for tax fraud.

Unless the FBI wants to pull out the RICO act.

RICO — the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act — provides not just for civil complaints, but also “extended criminal penalties” for those found guilty of violating its statutes. Created in the 1970s, RICO is most closely associated with the prosecution of the Mafia. Since then its use has expanded to include targets as diverse as Major League Baseball and Michael Milken. A RICO conviction means that a person or enterprise has been found to have engaged in acts as part of a criminal organization. How’s that for a branding exercise?

also explains why PPT's are nervous.

BCB man you've watched too many movies.

You need a new hobby, or just something that makes you feel important in the real world, so you don't have to puff your self up with drama and self importance on here. I'm sure your heart is in the right place but that kind of "Be afraid, be very afraid" stuff just makes you look a little unhinged.

Well, he is doing something against scammers instead of only shouting like most keyboard-warriors here. He has proven to be successful in many occasions. If it is a hobby, I'd say it is a great and respectful hobby and I would support BCB if he were to take it to the next level like some kind of bounty/detective business (all legal of course).

Found this yesterday, very amusing read and great work by BCB:

I think it was more of a joke.

I have a good sense of humor, but I totally missed it then. It sounds degrading and disrespectful.

I don't find it degrading nor disrespectful.
Funny? Yes.
True? Yes.

I don't know your, deeplink, nor BCB's kind of (invested) relationship to Trendon.
But I highly value the effort BCB puts in this. Du you have a clue how much time and effort there is in this?
"Hobby", "drama" and "self importance" is quite far from it.

BCB's doing quite a service to the community here. Why don't you do something productive than just giving snide comments here?

So either making up stories or believing incorrect information that was fed to you is a service to the community?

At least he's making an effort to compile information about the scammer instead of doing nothing. Everyone else can either choose to believe the information given or verify it themselves anyway.

I do productive shit. That's why I don't have to pretend to be a maverick TV detective on the internet.

.... or pretend to have a wife on the internet (AugustoCroppo) or pretend to run a stock exchange on the internet (Nefario) or pretend that I'm a rock star on the internet (Dank) or pretend to be some kind of captain of industry on the internet (dozens of people)

In fairness though, BCB is actually pretty good at catching kids who try and scam on the forum. I dunno if there's a lot of real detection work going on, but he's at least a little bit more intelligent than the scam victims and puts the time in.

But if he's going to go around talking like a cheesy TV detective or some kind of Captain Ahab character with Pirate as his white whale, than he should expect to be made fun of, because pompously puffing yourself up like that is pathetic, no matter who you are. It would be pretentious and ridiculous even from a real police homicide detective so why should some guy on a forum get away with it?

If BCB brings Pirate to justice then I will be impressed and I will be the first to congratulate him, but I don't see how he can. Make no mistake though, BCB's real motive for doing this isn't a sense of justice, it's a desire to feel important and clever.

[strideynet]

I agree Charlie.

Keep it going bcb. Just be careful it doesn't steal you life.

[fbastage]

Where is the pirate bounty?  None of these free-market people are going to do a damn thing if they can't earn a buck off of it. (sad, imo, but there it is)

What actions would people like to see in regard to the Pirate situation?
