Gotta admit, didnt expect him to just stop paying right after his identity was revealed. I would have expected that when he still had the illusion of being anonymous, but you'd think the smart thing to do with your ID out there, is continue payments (and increase your skimming) until you came up with some cover story or you had your tickets to costa rica in hand.
it's a very foolish way to play it by simply not paying out. up until this point, the crime was a deceitful and fraudulent delusion that the scheme would work for 5 years and beyond... taking the 'payouts' to himself implies intent and pre-meditation. quite a difference in the eyes of a court - most people don't realise, being foolishly deceitful whilst thinking they can run a HYIP scheme is one thing, actually committing the end crime by halting the payouts to investors, is quite another. if one were Jason, one would be shitting oneself at this moment in time. IANAL, but I doubt there is much if any difference from a legal POV. He was hosed the moment MrTeal proved his ID. The only difference is that he is making it clear as day to everyone now, which will cause an avalanche of police and other complaints in the coming days. Did he have an exit strategy ready in case his ID was made public? Id like to think he did not, but who knows. He is sure gonna need one. in a purely legal POV, yes, however, while the actual crime remains the same, it is most likely that any sentencing judge would take into consideration the intent to eventually run with the money, which Jason is doing now. The level of intent is what usually determines the length of sentence. Where the fact are, that the crime of which Jason is guilty remains the same... factors like 'how much, in real terms, was defrauded from victims?' and 'how did the fraudlent activity end?' all make a huge difference to the actual sentence which will inevitably be handed down. That's good but I still hope he'll take his right share of beatings.

Pirate ran his ponzi well beyond its peak, he continued paying almost to the point he didnt have any BTC left. That didnt buy him much leniency with the judge. $40M fine, currently in jail and facing criminal charges that can land him in jail for 40 years.

So it's finally happened? To bad, wasn't roi just yet, but came close You know, so many scammers were publicly known, but no-one, no-one of the thousands of peoples who got robbed went to see any of them. It's sad that most of the btc community have a big mouth, but very few who actually is willing to put himself in to a risky situation by getting his money back in person. All talk, yet no action Let's hope this time will be different and the owner of PB gets what he deserves

Perhaps. i suppose i am blinkered by how horrifically lenient the legal system is in the UK. It may be different in Canada.

I´m an idiot.
The sad thing is, he still has the referral link in his sig, along with 3 other likely ponzis and he'll probably argue that those services are legit until they run away with his money too.

Cheer up, at least under US laws, what he is doing is not just illegal, it subjects him to the same penalties as each of the ponzi's he is promoting. (b) Prosecution of persons who aid and abet violations For purposes of any action brought by the Commission under subparagraph (b) or (d) of section 77t of this title, any person that knowingly or recklessly provides substantial assistance to another person in violation of a provision of this subchapter, or of any rule or regulation issued under this subchapter, shall be deemed to be in violation of such provision to the same extent as the person to whom such assistance is provided. http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/15/77o

I´m not promoting anything from now on.
And besides nobody clicks those links.
I´ve made .058 from cloudmining.website
that´s all.
And it´s not like I´ve been the only one promoting this and that in a signature. You see all sorts of shit being pushed everywhere.

That's why you should be more careful with who you associate your name with and it's why we have been demanding various forms of proof to establish legitimacy from these companies.
