Alright, over a month now; does anyone still believe that the lawyer, who allegedly works on a new contract really exists?
He exists, I've personally met him. ... Bargraohics makes it a point to meet and vouch for shady Bitcoiners. Terrahash, Active Mining, Lab_Rat... Though the content of his posts varies, research shows that the meaning is universally "yo money's gone." He's simply saying here that he met the lawyer. Too much uncertainty here. If he can manage to dispel of someone's concern, then I think he should do so. As for him being involved with these companies in any way, do you think his relationships ended all pretty for all of them? Ask him about it - you might be surprised to know how they ended (at least one of them). And he might be a risky & involved investor at some level (it's apparently hard to find any actually safe investments in the bitcoin community). I'm not much different... like I said in past comment, I've been burned several times by actual scams/frauds. And the law eventually does arrest people (if needed) and confiscate & liquidate assets... and re-distribute proceeds to victims (such as myself in those cases). So, given this is can happen more than once for some people, don't consider interest by such in LRM and the times he/she clears up myths as vouching for shady ventures. We have to be able to clear out the uncertainty & identify speculation from actual facts - I think bargraphics was doing that here. I could say the same of Dave of MegaBigPower that has sold LR the BitFury hardware. He was involved with Tom of bASIC and now Zach with LRM. But I won't say it because I think Dave is a legit businessman. And by the way, Tom of bASIC eventually did return people's money (even though it was less since bitcoin prices went up) - but Tom was right to do so because his proposed products were priced in dollars (unlike LRM's bonds which were priced in BTC). |

Pretty much everything with Bargraphics' involvement sooner or later turns out to be a scam/ruinous for the folks on the receiving end. So we have correlation. I don't attempt to interpret it or imply causation, just toss it out as an empirical curiosity.
I don't discount the possibility that he's unlucky and/or strangely drawn to scams.

Of course Sporket (Aka Crumbs) comes on here trying to promote some agenda against me.
Actions speak louder than trolls and in this case I agree with ||bit regarding a lot of the "Bitcoin Securities" turn out to not be all that we have hoped, I have a large farm myself (Should be up to ~130TH by the end of this weekend).
Since I'm not afraid to show my face in public like some of us, I use that to go and meet with people and businesses to do due diligence and to lend a helping hand as I'm fairly well connected to people that matter unlike crumbs and MP.
Regardless of the above there are two types of people on this forum. Those that troll and believe trolls, and those that get off their chair and do work.

Bar, don't get me wrong. You get off your chair, get to work, and *poof!* stuff turns to shit. Unfortunate coincidence prob'ly.
Best of luck with your work.

Kinda wish Labrat was the US Gov. Then we could file a freedom of information act request against him...

One of those would only take you months to years and then you get files with tons of blacked out redactions. My $.02.  |

Ok guys, here's something to get excited about... I just got a couple of texts from Lab_Rat to pass on... - Legal work SHOULD be done this weekend, or early next week. ie: We should have something concrete within the next 7 days.
- Lab_Rat is also intending to do an AMA here, with the lawyer in attendance. I'm not sure if he intends that within the week or not though.
You may all proceed to lose your shit. grnbrg. |

A little more to grnbrg's post.
The legal side of the contract SHOULD be done this weekend and I will be adding the business side this coming week. I'm figuring a 2 hour period that I'll give some advance notice to so that people can prepare questions sounds good.
Please keep your questions specific and your language appropriate and your questions will be answered. Blanket questions covering broad topics are very time consuming and I would like to get as many answered as possible.
More info by Tuesday.

Wanted to offer my vote of confidence that Bar is just relaying information. Let's not kill the messenger. Everybody in this space has trusted the wrong entity one or more times, if you haven't you're either very lucky, have due diligence skills of a god or you're not trying hard enough. I'm hesitant to proffer my opinion of Zach. I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt that he's trying for the best resolution for everybody. Lack of communication has made it difficult to hold this position. We'll know soon enough if he's looking out for us. Edit: The pending announcement and AMA are good signs. |
