Bitcoin Vs. Paypal - and PayPal is getting sued.

[g35fan]

Thank you for the affirmation that i was making the right choice by leaving this forum, i almost felt bad for a minute. as you can clearly see above I DID NOT WANT TO DO ANY DONATION, and knowing the mentality of the kids on here knew exactly what was going to happen. Furthermore, i DO NOT OWN the other forum, i am just a moderator there, and as for the rest, it has nothing to do with emotions, its tolerance. I have a rather explosive personality and i have found it best just to stay away from people with childish mentalities who are in a fight for digital validation of their pathetic lives. With that, i bid you all farewell, and leave with a thank you to all of those who were true spporters.

Good riddance. This forum is better off without you and your childish antics. You said you didn't want donations yet you posted your wallet address. And now you abandon the thread and delete your first post...that emotional rant of a post that had no format and looked completely unprofessional. All the people you had no patience with and have "pathetic lives" as you put it, have been justified in their criticism of you by your actions. And to top it off it looks like you are just a scammer/beggar. Fitting.

One my favorite movie quotes may be appropriate for this dying thread:

"At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul." - Billy Madison

Well this thread sure did change quick.

Was a great thread until someone threw the toys out of the pram.

jaequery is most likely a "donation" scammer.
And she asks for donations to an address controlled by Terrahasher:

Also, Terrahasher:
- claims to be calm, but gets pissed as soon as he's busted
- claims to own 80k+ bitcoins and has a donation address in signature
- claims he's never been scammed, and still posts interesting screenshot with lots of useful data (could it be on purpose ?  )
- claims he has been in bitcoin world for 5 years and still thinks people actually type in each character of their bitcoin addresses when asking for donations (and thus can make typos...)

Kudos to shawshankinmate37927 for busting this guy.
100% scammer in my book.

I'm not sure.  You bring up some excellent points.  But I honestly don't think its a scam.  He said he doesn't need donations and even admitted his attorney is taking anything up front.  I think this actually happened. 

Best thing to do is wait a couple of weeks and see if this gets a case number.

Well that is proof positive he is lying. Attorneys pressing a case pro bono for a guy claims he is worth 80 mil?

No such attorneys on the planet but it was a good story I guess.

Not sure what the angle is, don't really care. Maybe just delusional pathological.

Looks like lots of people are mad. I don't like to be made mad.

UPDATE

Hello all, and thank you for your support again, for personal reasons ( a very high intolerance to children who think that they have the world all figure out and can never be wrong as demonstrated here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=406850.0 ) I have decided to leave Bitcointalk.org and stick to a forum that i use that is not so over run with trolls, and morons.

I would not have even suspected anything if you had not posted a link to that thread. So... thanks?

Regarding the case itself, if it happens, I suspect it will end up with Guy claiming to be screwed by PayPal V.S. PayPal claiming it was following government rules and regulations.  In a government court, I suspect the court will side with the one following government rules and regulations. This is why I'm an AnCap; companies can ask government to pass whatever regulations they want, and then claim they were just following the laws when they were doing rather unethical things (oil and chemical companies are experts at this)

It may well be a scam, but if I read correctly he had his attorney on retainer. That simply means it is not costing him any more out of pocket. Kind of like a company having an attorney on staff. 

While it may be a scam, I suspect (and hope) that we are seeing yet another example of imperfect humanity--off to a good start but prone to stick our foot in our mouths. (Done it myself more than once.  )

Well they quoted him so it's definitely OP!  But it still doesn't make it legit until we see a case number or docket number.

Lol at articles getting so desperate they will take news right out of forums... even if it's not confirmed

It's fucking sad...and increasingly the case with all journalism in general, particularly in the USA.

Anyone can write some racist/sexist/intolerant bullshit on an Applebee's receipt and post it on reddit.
Next thing you know, Good Morning America presents it as fact without, you know, knowing all of the fucking facts.

Thanks for generalizing my whole country. No one I know takes the news seriously when they spout dumb shit like that. It's called having your own opinion

Ok, so i am new here and have been out of the bitcoin loop for quite a while now. But has the definition of scam changed in the past year when it comes to the bitcoin community? Last i thought, in order to be a scam, someone either had to have taken, or is trying to take something from someone without paying for it or in essence was stealing. It took me a while to read through all the posts in this thread, but CLEARLY the OP never asked for a penny from anyone, and as i read it only provided a donation address after a few people asked for it, and for that matter not a single penny was donated to that address as i can see unless i am looking it up wrong.

Also, after looking at the thread that finally pushed the OP over the edge, I hate to say it, but i would have been pretty pissed too, after about an hour of searching i could not find a single reference or post or even the slightest remnant of anything on reddit at all about the blog entry he was quoting or for that matter a single trace of any of what the troll was implying to be even remotely true.

I am no computer wiz, and defiantly not the most techie of people, but even i have the brains that if i wanted to seem cool bad enough i could post something on a blog, copy and paste someones address into it, then change the date and time that it displays when it was published then start to troll about it. I back date articles all the time on my blog that i didnt get around to publishing on the day the story was news, that way the date displayed and the date i am talking about in my articles match.

It may be just my opinion, but i am still entitled to one. I think a few of you went a little to far and jumped to conclusions a little to early, and worse chased off someone who seemed to contribute a lot of good information to this forum. It took me less than 2 minutes to find this thread with him helping dozens of people keep from getting scammed. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=399608.0

and as i read it only provided a donation address after a few people asked for it, and for that matter not a single penny was donated to that address as i can see unless i am looking it up wrong.

Yeah, that was a fail. Thankfully.
The goal was just to get a few donations, from the start.
And as much as I hope to be proved wrong, there will be no such trial as described in OP.

Awww, deleted? 

Sorry i'm new to this, what was deleted? Are you talking about the post on reddit? i think it got removed for begging after reading through the comments. Which makes it seem even more fishey that someone is able to publish an article claiming to be the original.
