I really hope they go after all the PPTs and the Starfish too. I really hope they go after BFL too. SEC? Why would they? I don't like BFL as much as the next guy, but SEC has nothing it wants from BFL. It will. BFL is the biggest operating bitcoin scam treating their customers as investors but without the corresponding investor rights. On several occasions BFL confirmed that they have converted their customer BTC into USD. However, they don't have currency exchange license and are not allowed to do currency conversions on behalf of their customers. As you see, a lot of SEC related issues. |

Can anyone work out the number of coins in 1DkyBEKt5S2GDtv7aQw6rQepAvnsRyHoYM when he stopped paying out? I think it was a lot more than the 193,319 XBT he apparently didn't return to investors. 1) 700000 is not exact, it's a lower bound. He likely didn't return more than 200000 BTC. 2) 1Dky is more likely to be Silk Road's than Pirate's. |

Oh, I agree with everything you said. 7% weekly was obviously unsustainable. However, I'd like to quote you here: I'm sorry but I don't feel the least bit sorry
  Should have said I apologize for not feeling sorry for them but it was their fault for not listening. lol |

It's called 'cashing out' not 'debit-card-at-walmarting-out'.

A nifty visual representation:  One can't help but laugh at the people who thought he was the market god. If they'd known his average selling price at Gox was $2 when the market was between $5 and $15 they'd have....lost faith? Talk about shitty day-trading. Always in control of the market...my ass. |

Making money while dumping bitcoin @below market value is but a single adorable aspect of His Godliness. Pirate never concealed the unlawfulness of his operation, he simply allowed his marks to assume that they weren't the intended marks. |

I really hope they go after all the PPTs and the Starfish too. Ugh, I'd hate to see otherwise 'good guys' go down with the ship. But I suspect the SEC will be going through all of this through a fine toothed comb. If anything, this will be teaching the government law enforcement quite a large amount about bitcoin. I wouldn't be surprised if the people working on this investigation turn out to be the real bitcoin/blockchain experts. |

I'd like to see you explain in what fashion any of those assholes are good guys. All of them rapidly defended an obvious ponzi scheme. Many of the passthroughs didn't pass through and did they own default under the cover of Pirate's. And the PPT.div was the biggest ripoff of all, devised to fail and lose massive amounts of money for investors even if Pirate had paid off. |

From the complaint:
"BTCST’s securities were not traded on any exchange"
The SEC is wrong about this one. See PPT.

He didn't list them, but they were passthroughs to his "security" and they did trade on an exchange. Probably a lot of the key posts are now deleted. PPT-A https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=76594.0 |

GLBSE wasn't a real exchange, it was an illegal unlicensed "get into jail free" card. Just like all other Bitcoin "security exchanges". |

This would be a bad time for him to plan another trip to the US with only Bitcoins in his pocket. He might get stopped at the airport again but not for the same reason. lol |
