Was Autumn Radtke murdered due to something she knew about Brock Pierce, et al.?

[Phinnaeus Gage]

Some of you fucks already knew that I already knew who the fuck this guy is when I first posted his pic, didn't you? Well, I'll just Jerk this Chicken a tad longer to see who guesses correctly first.

BTW, davout, a mod on this forum, has yet to recontact me in regard to my 1,132 BTC he now has in his bitcoin wallet, funneled there since the InstaWallet "hack". David Francois, owner of Bitcoin-Central.com/.net via Paymium, is a motherfuckin' thief!

Just to let you know why Bruno Kucinskas is in Full-Tilt mode and exposing every motherfuckin' scammer involved in Bitcoin, along with amassing allies along the way. So, for those that are, or will soon be, the blunt of my wrath, David Francois, et al. is to blame.

<To be clear, anybody affected by this thread (with more to come) can personally thank David François (davout, staff on this forum), et al. of Paymium, for me going Full-Tilt and releasing my wrath, starting with all those associated with Brock Pierce, regardless of how loosely connected, before vectoring to others, again, all due to David Francois' (sans the cédille) inaction and stealing my 1,132 BTC via his InstaWallet "hack" on April 1, 2013, albeit Sunlot, et al. also came into play.

Furthermore, I have a plethora of data pertaining to those in the higher echelon of the Bitcoin World that I'm about to unleash, opting to hold back - for last - info on those I kinda consider quasi good guys, unless, of course, those thieving Paymium clowns pony up what's due mine, currently residing in one of David's bitcoin wallets, only then I may reconsider scaling back the onslaught.

Full Disclosure: I have been in talks with mainstream press, but chiefly only offering up data I've amassed as it pertains to Brock Pierce, et al. and Paymium, et al. My number is 815-508-1668 if any further periodicals desiring a scoop are interested. Sadly, none of the Bitcoin-themed publications have taken the time to call, albeit they probably have their own sources or, heaven forbid, they rather not go there due to protecting their advertising revenue, notwithstanding some other nefarious reasoning(s).>

Without further ado, the person depicted next to porn-star Kayden Kross is none other than Ken Feldman/Kenneth Feldman (the second link is a cache of the first - note what's missing) of Blockstreet, just one Bitcoin-based entity controlled by Bitropolis' Godfather of Bitcoin, Brock Pierce. (once the script's ready for production, I wanna play the forum guy penning its posts from a van down by the river, giving me just one line so that I can be in the credits, with Al the Alpaca playin' an extra)

http://www.blockstreet.info/ (different link than above)

http://bitcoinowl.com/blockstreet-new-crypto-currency-info-service

As I stated earlier, BlockStreet operates out of an incubator called Bitropolis in Santa Monica, LA. I discovered a few other cool startups there but I can’t disclose any info about them now because they were in stealth mode. Brock Pierce and all others occupied in the incubator are working to make LA a center of the Bitcoin World.

What are the chances of me hunting down the image Ken recently deleted from at least one social media site having Kayden Kross cropped outta it?

Not to be discouraged, Ken immediately kicked off another crowdfunding campaign, but on Kickstarter, using the same truck and basic plans to hopefully (and successfully) fund a Burning Man art-mobile dubbed Candy Mountain/Charlie the Unicorn Art Car: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1089114061/charlie-the-unicorn-art-car (damn, I miss Pinkie Pie)

I would be remiss if I didn't include a photo:



Them bastards make it so damn hard for me to make up shit! Speaking of, the only thing missing is viewing a pic of one Bitcoiner literally shitting on another Bitcoiner. Don't make me link it.  

On February 26, 2014, at his first opportunity, Ken Feldman (Kenneth Feldman) changed the cover of his Facebook page to the following:





Obviously, that's Autumn Radtke with Ken Feldman, the pic taken at Burning Man 2011. Sans any formal proof, we're left to surmise as to what their relationship consisted of - friends or lovers, or both.

The facts we do have are the following:

• Autumn Radtke is dead.
• Steve Beauregard was the last person to see her alive.
• When Steven Beauregard was in Singapore away from his wife and family, he stay with Autumn.
• GoCoin shared an office in Autumn's home cum First Meta office.
• Brock Pierce had a vested interest in First Meta, a virtual currency exchange like IGE.
• Autumn Radtke died ~7AM Singapore time.
• Autumn Radtke attended and loved Burning Man (5 Visits).
• The Winklevoss Twins meet up with Dustin Moskovitz of Facebook at Burning Man last year.
• KnC Miners has their mega-pharms located on Facebook's The Node Pole campus.
  
• Brock Peirce and Autumn Radtke go way back, but how far? (you'll soon read)
• Autumn Radtke once worked for Sir Richard Branson.
• Autumn Radtke opted not to work for Apple to pursue the virtual money realm.
• I opted not to be an Astronaut for NASA to pursue my drywall dreams, having nothing to do with the formal education I didn't possess. (think about that for a sec)

Also, on February 26, 2014, Brock Pierce was kind enough to inform his friends and family, but not us Bitcoin Minions, that Autumn Radtke had passed and he was hosting an impromptu after sunset memorial service at the beach: https://www.facebook.com/brockpierce/posts/10152654948727782

Notice the first name on the list, highlighted in orange? Obviously, he, among most others, especially ye early responders, were alerted via some Facebook app (gotta love them apps) via their smartphones (them too).

Quick aside: I wonder if Jame's cock really is...

The following is the list of 48 fans of Brock Pierce that Like the Autumn Radtke's memorial announcement (above) that none of us Bitcoin Minions were privy to, due to Brock Pierce not yet being predominately on our RADAR, in spite of the tremendous work he was conducting behind the scenes advancing Bitcoin, of which we now learnt was to better his and The Syndicate's positions - not ours. Case in point, Sunlot's takeover of Mt Gox, only a half a billion dollar money grab is all.

I'm curious to learnt the time difference between when Autumn's body was found and when the announcement (above) was made, along with when the first news story(s) broke on the incident. Recall, there are conflicting stories as to where she was found: At home cum First Meta office, also leased out to GoCoin and Steve Beauregard (Steven Beauregard - for searchability purposes) while he's away from his wife and children  , or two blocks away, 7AM Singapore time, atop a parapet (image below the fold) covering a garbage dumpster after failing to take flight from a 25th-floor balcony - SPLAT!!! (with apologies for the gore, albeit Al (not that AL, though both rhyme with Owl) Gore is in the mix, but not in this post, less this mention)

Further recall that all the Bitcoin-themed periodicals had not even touched upon the suicide(?) till the Dorian Nakamoto and Mt Gox collapse fiascoes were making the rounds, furthering the downplaying of an important event in Bitcoin history. Oh, the horror! https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=610521.msg6860410#msg6860410

Let's revisit a couple images gleaned from above, shall we?

First, the one with Brock Pierce and Autumn Radtke shot in Egypt while on vacation in 2008.



A seemingly innocent shelfie of a loving couple, taking a break from horseback riding to capture the moment. No harm there whatsoever.

But, upon closer examination of the evidence presented above, we soon learnt (sans you guys who've already figured it out prior to reading thus far) that Brock and Autumn wasn't on vacation alone, but were part of a larger group.



Don't choke on your popcorn as I list the names of those depicted above, reading left to right: Ken "Mr. Jerk Chicken" Feldman; Autumn "Life is such a dream, I think I'll kill myself" Radtke; Michael "Mr. Michael Jackson Impersonator" Terpin; Brock "I'm not gay" Pierce.

(Ken Feldman; Autumn Radtke; Michael Terpin; Brook Pierce)

Boy, the bitcoins I would pay to be 51 and have a young juicy 27-year-old cock in my mouth while lying on my back on the cool Sahara Sands at the base of the Pyramid of Khufu under an eclipsed moon. BRB, getting a fresh cup of coffee.  

Bear in mind that Autumn, et al. 2008 Egyptian vacation probably took place prior to summer, thus before this event https://www.eventbrite.com/e/summermash-la-tickets-123142322#m_1_100, of which, ironically, was exactly one month prior to Satoshi Nakamoto releasing his White Paper. Peruse the linked article to see who was in attendance, sans the myriad Does.

One name that's going to pop out at you will be Michael Terpin of SocialMedia. The other is Maxine Hopkinson, Michael's yet to be wife (at the time - 2008) and has worked with Michael for many a years.

http://socialmediaworld.com/contributors/

From her Facebook page, I say see ordered a shitload of Monarchs from BFL: https://www.facebook.com/MaxineTerpin



I hate to say it (maybe not), but by the looks of Max's scant Facebook page, I say we's gettin' da wool pulled ov'r 'r eyes.

There's dozens more Facebook pages that just don't make sense, especially the ones with wedding pics that nobody, and I mean nobody, comments on.



Unless Maxine changed the URL name, she was Maxine Terpin prior to getting married to Michael Terpin.

The whole thing looks contrived to me, especially when I consider the following as a possibility: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4UDo4hZnZY

Also, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Viim9SXf4Mw linked from https://twitter.com/RaszlandKovacs/status/115944202382229504

Michael Terpin sure does have a helluva reach according to the view count of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JjM2VDRY90#t=309

It doesn't surprise now - one lolita - to find out what happens on there:



Really puts this video in perspective: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KeOvcT4486Q



This video (not the one you'll soon be thinking) reminds of some other glove analogy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmaRTZpJgPA


With apologies to the person who gave me my very first positive trust rating on this forum, the following, bearing in mind that the truth of what's exactly going on around here should take precedence.

Isn't the MPEx model just another implementation of the SR model?

MPEx resembles SR on the server side (you don't get to know the IP).

But MPEx management operates more or less openly.  MP/PR are easier to find, or at least to identify, than DPR.

It's not as if MP takes great lenghts hiding his name and face:



Though why he would ride a horse instead of a camel in Egypt is a great mystery.  

A better question would be why he's wearing an ill-fitting 3 piece suit in the freaking desert.  Photoshop?

Or "Why does he not wear sunglasses when his eyes are clearly struggling to stay open?"

Or, when was the pic taken, by whom, and who was he with while on vacation in Egypt?



Would you purposely jump to land two stories shy of the ground, or go the distance?

Weird. Ken Feldman and I have some friends in common on FB; apparently fairly good ones too.

[Tomatocage]

And Autumn Radtke... why does her name sound familiar to me outside of the context of Bitcoin?

[QuestionAuthority]

You said you were working on a big post. You weren't lying.

Just one question: Are you doing all this because you're pissed about losing Bitcoins to Davout and feel that somehow it will help you? I've watched you go off on some tangents before but nothing like this crusade. If I had an 8-5 job doing this I doubt I could dig up so much so fast.

We've met in person, and I would answer to your face just as honestly as I'm doing now, bud.

50/50, but not as a cop out answer. Yes, I'm extremely pissed that davout has opted to cut off communications to me, as well as others moneys is still owed to due to the InsatWallet "hack". Peirre (Boussac) went outta his way to avoid the myriad people trying to get his ear while he was in Amsterdam last week.

They cried after the "hack" because InstaWallet had 3M accounts they had to attend to. Then they announced that there were 21K funded accounts they had to attend to. Then they returned bitcoins to less than 1K users to date, all documented.

When asked hundreds of times for simply the name of the venerable company that conducted the audit after the hack, they refuse to give up a name. Ergo, there was no professional audit.

As far as a bank backing Bitcoin-Central, that turned out to be a lie, and no longer affiliated with them, going with Lemon Way now, of which their claim to fame is...wait for it...an app. One motherfuckin' app. And, I don't trust the guy behind Lemon Way either.

Davout has one wallet with 1,300+ BTC in it, with no source of income to acquire such, funded prior to InstaWallet returning bitcoins to its non-customers.

I'll stop now on the IW rant.

I had no real issues with the TBF, opting to not make any waves if and every time an issue arose. Mt Gox, I always considered shady. When Sunlot came on the scene, that was when I started to look into things, especially whne I learnt that the key players are based outta Chicago, having a same address as Google's Chicago's office - think Silk Road Equities.

Then Brock Pierce raised his head, helping all the pieces to come together, then some.

Then, there's the Bitcoinica money that nobody's talking about that that too is now lost for who knows how long, and shouldn't have been put in Mt Gox's control in the first place. Gevers did the same thing with Sonny's LFC during the liquidation process, and to this day people still talk about not seeing a dime. Not to mention, three suicides occurred in connection with that too.

Now, we have a dead woman, whether via suicide or murder, it was 100% caused by the work she's done for Brock Pierce over the past several years. Hell, her closet girlfriend works for another Brock Pierce concern.

I've only slightly eluded to the following, but theirs a plethora of pics depicting Autumn with a myriad men. Needless to say, the stakes are high with what's being played here, and the minions are footing the bill, along with unexpected venture capitalist outside the click.

These fuckers aren't stupid, and Brock Pierce can attest (perhaps wrong word, hope to get the gist across, bud) to that. He was/is in position to put a team together to bring IGE to the next level since the virtual currency profits were going down hill thanks to completion abroad, even though he's based there.

SN's white paper is basically only an improved upon white paper. Satoshi Nakamoto was just a name contrived to put a mysterious face to the creation of Bitcoin. The exchange arm consists of teams of players that have been affiliated with Brock Pierce for years now. Other team players are versed in social media. Once Bitcoin got its footing, the key players are now able to step forward espousing how they just discovered Bitcoin and how it will change the world, when the truth of the matter is they were in at the get-go, will Bitcoin Minions losing millions along the way. And it ain't over.

That's how I read it, with apologies for not taking the time to clean up the verbiage, hoping the gist came out sans proper articulation.

I have close to $20K real money tied up that was once worth over $1.5M. I have a guy here in Sandwich, IL, that lost $10K in real money that he put into Bitcoinica thanks to my recommendation at the time. I doled out approximately another $20K due to me having to move, close and clean up sites where I had barn wood stored due to EPA issues brought on by the powers that be here in Sandwich because they believe that I'm somehow the ringleader of Bitcoin.

Hell, these fuckers are even trying to get a simple $1K via Bitcoin 100 to further their cause, a couple I believe snuck under the radar early on in spite of doing due diligence.

It's looking more and more like a ruse each passing day, especially when I read on various other sites, most non-Bitcoin related that it looks odd for a guy to have just ran cross-country still has a gut, with apologies to JK.

It's how Bitcoin is perceived from the outside that will make or break us, and having an accused pedophile on the board of TBF, regardless of skill sets, WILL NOT help matters, hence my crusade.

I duly hope this post helps in some way in addressing your question(s), bud.

I feel like you've compiled a bunch of interesting and relevant stuff here, but I'm really having difficulty following it. Was there an obvious conclusion I was supposed to come to? If yes, can someone summarize?

I think it is more loosely cleaned up stream-of-conciousness, backed by wild Internet searching. You are supposed to look it over and see connections PG may have missed. If any logical leaps don't make sense, you should probably point that out too.

That's probably a fair assessment.

To sum up, I consider anybody associated with Brock Pierce or Michael Terpin nothing more than money grabbing thugs. The only thing they have going for themselves is their ability to convince others how their next big scheme is going to revolutionize the world.

From what I read here http://www.entrepreneur.com/article/231033, every fucking company that BitAngels funded to date, the core of BA were the receiving end of VC amassed. Great gig, if you can get it. AND BY GOLLY GEE THEY GOT IT. And, by golly gee, I'm the one that's going to expose this fucks.

Dude Takes to Indiegogo in a Michael Jackson Costume To Raise Cash for CES Party



https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/let-s-hold-the-ces-partylist-party-at-the-michael-jackson-estate

The fucking social media guru, Michael Terbin, couldn't even raise a measly hundred and fifty bucks, in spite of espousing his expertise across the globe in how you, too, can amass a following. Fuck, the way it looks, he couldn't even get the guys who he sucks dicks of to donate to the cause, let alone putting his own money in.

I, personally, doled out ~$500 for the Super Bowl banner that I've yet to see one single pic of, in spite of telling the chick she could keep the banner. I'm almost certain that she and Michael know each other, being that they're of the same Sin City. That banner design would have made a nice tattoo, but I digress.

Now, that motherfucker wants us to be happy with the board member of whom anybody with a brain can see they suck each other's dicks... a board member of a foundation that cheap cocksucker isn't even a member of.

The whole fuckin' clan is nothing but a cancer to the Bitcoin ecosystem, and they're hoping you all just stand by and take it up the ass, hopefully literally in their mind, but settle for figuratively, as long as your hard-earned money reaches their cozy pockets to further perpetuated their lifestyle.

And, make no mistake, The Bitcoin Association, and its charters, are no better, if not worst, ain't that right Paul Snow, Sam Yilmaz and David Johnston? You three, also, chose to fuck with the wrong people, so I suggest you learn to wash dishes, because when we're done, that's probably the only job you'll be able to obtain.

It's now time to show a social media expect who couldn't even use the goddamn tools himself how it truly can be used to ones advantage - by using it against them. Consider it a reach-around.

[QuestionAuthority]

Thanks for the breakdown. You're making Bitcoin sound like a mafia run club to hide illegal activity. That might be true, I don't know. There's been enough criminal activity surrounding Bitcoin so far to substantiate that view. I know you're a decent guy and you're trying to help. You're just donating so much of your time to this I thought their might be another reason. Him being involved in Bitcoin since 2009 is highly suspect. In fact, everything you're digging up is giving me a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach.

I like Bitcoin and, as you know, got into it very early on. I've made a fat stack of cash on it selling most at over $700. I've always liked the concept of Bitcoin and the freedom it can give to the little guy but I'm having second thoughts about continuing to support it. Every time one of these connections between Bitcoin and underworld activities (murder, SR drug sales, wide scale theft, illegal sexual deviance, illegal gambling, racketeering, online sex for hire) happens I think we may have all been fooled. Bitcoin is the perfect place to get rich quick but you may have to cross a few lines to do it. I don't know that wealth at all costs is worth losing your soul.

[franky1]

No
she committed suicide. and from the most logical reason alot of their investment which she 'managed' went into mtgox which ofcourse disapeard. meaning she caused alot of investors loss..

[Ron~Popeil]

I just haven't seen any evidence that it was anything other than a tragic suicide. At this point anything else is a conspiracy theory.

[inBitweTrust]

Possibly, but why do people immediately assume the worst case scenario? Isn't Suicide more likely and all these correlations are normal in the small Bitcoin circles that people associate with?

Where are you going to put your savings that is cleaner than Bitcoin?

Are you going to hold USD, and support invasions, genocide, inter-generational theft, drone murders, and police brutality, and call that better than holding Bitcoin?

There have been a multitude of financial innovations throughout history. Bitcoin is just another one in a long line. Many have been used by criminals to further crime against society (btw: I like society and hate even the thought of anarchy. I'm not looking to get shot in my sleep because my neighbor covets my lawn mower. I also like roads and fire departments.). Many people on this forum seem to confuse governments and money. If Bitcoin is sanctioned by governments it can be used to pay for all those nasty things that governments do. When governments used gold to pay for things it was used to pay for nasty things. It never stopped being a metal just because it was used as fiat. Holding the metal responsible for the evils of government is as ridiculous as blaming your arm because a bee stung it. The US government can be changed and has been over and over again by its citizens. The most recent change involved providing insurance to every citizen. It was long overdue but it happened. States are legalizing marihuana. States are legalizing gay marriage. Changing the people in power makes things happen. Voting makes things happen. Burning the paper that they use to pay for things or melting the metal they pay for things with will do nothing.

Bitcoin is being polluted by bad people and it's not the only crypto coin. Maybe it's time to move on.

[MarketNeutral]

I have no idea if Autumn was murdered and prefer not to speculate about such things, but damn.........this stuff keeps getting more sordid the more PG uncovers. And indeed perception matters. You are doing well shining the 'lantern of Diogenes' into the darker corners of bitcoin's elite.

[BTCat]

It's just speculation.

If she was murdered then there could be traces on the blockchain somewhere. Anyone that has traded with her should post her wallets so money can be followed.
She also could have transferred any holdings by herself voluntarily or under 'pressure'.

If there's any crypto trade done from a wallet that was controlled by her after her death, it's likely that someone else aside of herself was involved.

It's really important to find tradinghistory of the last weeks it could tell something.

Thanks for the breakdown. You're making Bitcoin sound like a mafia run club to hide illegal activity. That might be true, I don't know. There's been enough criminal activity surrounding Bitcoin so far to substantiate that view. I know you're a decent guy and you're trying to help. You're just donating so much of your time to this I thought their might be another reason. Him being involved in Bitcoin since 2009 is highly suspect. In fact, everything you're digging up is giving me a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach.

I like Bitcoin and, as you know, got into it very early on. I've made a fat stack of cash on it selling most at over $700. I've always liked the concept of Bitcoin and the freedom it can give to the little guy but I'm having second thoughts about continuing to support it. Every time one of these connections between Bitcoin and underworld activities (murder, SR drug sales, wide scale theft, illegal sexual deviance, illegal gambling, racketeering, online sex for hire) happens I think we may have all been fooled. Bitcoin is the perfect place to get rich quick but you may have to cross a few lines to do it. I don't know that wealth at all costs is worth losing your soul.

Honestly, no alternative motives other then fighting the good fight, regardless the circumstances, something money can't buy.

I don't believe anybody doubts for a sec that this guy wasn't paid for his actions:



Now, that I've crossed that Rubicon, it's time to show what's on the other side, via my mega hours of research and, most recently, data handed over to me - anonymously - to further the cause. Others fearing repercussions are more than welcome to add to my ever growing collection, anonymously, if more desirable, via my email address found in my user profile.

The picture emerging centered around Brock Pierce and his cronies is disturbing at best, a malignant cancer at worst, fatal to Bitcoin as we know it. But, luckily for us, a new coin with a better association will take its place from the hollows of Bitroplis, à la how Brock Pierce of IGE tried to destroy his competition, then embrace it, and finally give it back to his now brother-in-arms, namely Jonathan Yantis (think Sunlot).

YIELD OF DREAMS

A former child actor builds a brokerage business, buying and selling assets that players earn in videogames.

Pierce produced shows and helped DEN raise $100 million before he left in 1999; in 2000, DEN evaporated, having yielded almost no revenues. "All the things we did wrong stand out, the biggest of which was to bet on broadband's rollout," he says. He also learned to avoid investors; he has funded IGE using his own savings and cash flow.

Now, what the fuck was the name of that Bob Dylan song that seems to elude me at the moment? BTW, there's videos (apologies for not supplying a link) where Brock Pierce goes into details as to why IGE had no investors, none of which even eludes to the fact of the sentiment expressed above, all the while he's seeking investors for his next big thing.

Remember I told you above to 'think Sunlot'?

http://www.thegrouchygamer.com/?p=94 (original above)

Yantis also advised Debonneville that if a deal was not reached with IGE, Yantis had already put a network in place to compete with and destroy IGE. Yantis stated that through the hiring of certain individuals who he had a long time business relationship with, Yantis would sell currency that had been exploited or duped.

This is the game these fuckers are playing. NOTHING LESS!

No
she committed suicide. and from the most logical reason alot of their investment which she 'managed' went into mtgox which ofcourse disapeard. meaning she caused alot of investors loss..

Well, fuck me in the ass! That'll make Autumn Radtke a Prophetess, and she flew off the 25th floor of a high-rise building two blocks from her home to become a martyr.

http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/02/28/us-bitcoin-mtgox-bankruptcy-idUSBREA1R0FX20140228

(Reuters) - Mt. Gox, once the world's biggest bitcoin exchange, filed for bankruptcy protection in Japan on Friday, saying it may have lost nearly half a billion dollars worth of the virtual coins due to hacking into its faulty computer system.

Autumn Radtke was found dead ~7AM Singapore time on Wednesday. Mt Gox filed for bankruptcy on Friday, thus no way for her to know such was going to happen unless, of course she was a Prophetess, for the scuttlebutt up to the announced bankruptcy stemming from TBF was that all is well, in spite of the fact of talks we later learnt were taking place in some closet between Sunlot and Mt Gox. The only thing missing in the equation is who was handling the group buy to amass the 1 BTC offered up as the sale price.

[Phinnaeus Gage]

is there a single righteous man in Sodom?

There was, but Sunlot gave him 1 BTC to convert.

From the same article: http://www.thegrouchygamer.com/?p=94

Exploiting or duping is a process whereby an outsider hacks the game program into creating currency for the individual or duplicating an item and then selling it over and over which also results the creation of currency. These actions allow for the exploiter/duper to create an endless supply of currency without any real cost to that currenct. This is something Yantis has done in the past and made large profits from. The exploiter/duper would typically receive a commission for any currency sold of about 40% of the sales price. Due to the currency being exploited, Yantis was and would be able to sell currency at a price significantly below market, since the cost of the currency sold was non existent. This also allowed for an infinite supply to be created in what could take as little time as a few minutes.

Unless Yantis is now a devout (not davout) Christian (or the like), I say he carried the same mindset forward to today with his Sunlot who wants control of Mt Gox.

Autumn Radtke certainly was in position to be aware of these facts, then some, with more data yet to be release. Suicide my fuckin' ass! Hell, at this point it wouldn't surprise me to learnt that somehow, someway, somebody got a hold of some Halothane, but I'm not an anesthesiologist, but hopefully one will once again weigh in.  

[Phinnaeus Gage]

In the spirit that some get more outta what's being relayed via soundbites...

http://www.thegrouchygamer.com/?p=94

Yantis indicated that this was also how he could turn the trading arm of IGE around and make it profitable, almost instantly. Pierce was aware of Yantis’ intent to use these exploits. In fact, Pierce counted on them as part of the rationale behind why Yantis should be brought back to work for IGE.

http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9247751/Investors_try_to_revive_Mt._Gox_at_last_minute

The site cites as its backers Bitcoin investor Brock Pierce, entrepreneur Jonathan Yantis, venture capitalists William Quigley and Matthew Roszak, and John Betts, described as a Wall Street veteran. Earlier this months, reports said the consortium was offering 1 bitcoin (roughly US$490 at current prices) to buy Mt. Gox.

The following image is where all of them sleep together, currently being moved to TBF, with an identical set-up being erected at TBA (The Bitcoin Association).

[dancingnancy]

You said you were working on a big post. You weren't lying.

Just one question: Are you doing all this because you're pissed about losing Bitcoins to Davout and feel that somehow it will help you? I've watched you go off on some tangents before but nothing like this crusade. If I had an 8-5 job doing this I doubt I could dig up so much so fast.

We've met in person, and I would answer to your face just as honestly as I'm doing now, bud.

50/50, but not as a cop out answer. Yes, I'm extremely pissed that davout has opted to cut off communications to me, as well as others moneys is still owed to due to the InsatWallet "hack". Peirre (Boussac) went outta his way to avoid the myriad people trying to get his ear while he was in Amsterdam last week.

They cried after the "hack" because InstaWallet had 3M accounts they had to attend to. Then they announced that there were 21K funded accounts they had to attend to. Then they returned bitcoins to less than 1K users to date, all documented.

When asked hundreds of times for simply the name of the venerable company that conducted the audit after the hack, they refuse to give up a name. Ergo, there was no professional audit.

As far as a bank backing Bitcoin-Central, that turned out to be a lie, and no longer affiliated with them, going with Lemon Way now, of which their claim to fame is...wait for it...an app. One motherfuckin' app. And, I don't trust the guy behind Lemon Way either.

Davout has one wallet with 1,300+ BTC in it, with no source of income to acquire such, funded prior to InstaWallet returning bitcoins to its non-customers.

I'll stop now on the IW rant.

I had no real issues with the TBF, opting to not make any waves if and every time an issue arose. Mt Gox, I always considered shady. When Sunlot came on the scene, that was when I started to look into things, especially whne I learnt that the key players are based outta Chicago, having a same address as Google's Chicago's office - think Silk Road Equities.

Then Brock Pierce raised his head, helping all the pieces to come together, then some.

Then, there's the Bitcoinica money that nobody's talking about that that too is now lost for who knows how long, and shouldn't have been put in Mt Gox's control in the first place. Gevers did the same thing with Sonny's LFC during the liquidation process, and to this day people still talk about not seeing a dime. Not to mention, three suicides occurred in connection with that too.

Now, we have a dead woman, whether via suicide or murder, it was 100% caused by the work she's done for Brock Pierce over the past several years. Hell, her closet girlfriend works for another Brock Pierce concern.

I've only slightly eluded to the following, but theirs a plethora of pics depicting Autumn with a myriad men. Needless to say, the stakes are high with what's being played here, and the minions are footing the bill, along with unexpected venture capitalist outside the click.

These fuckers aren't stupid, and Brock Pierce can attest (perhaps wrong word, hope to get the gist across, bud) to that. He was/is in position to put a team together to bring IGE to the next level since the virtual currency profits were going down hill thanks to completion abroad, even though he's based there.

SN's white paper is basically only an improved upon white paper. Satoshi Nakamoto was just a name contrived to put a mysterious face to the creation of Bitcoin. The exchange arm consists of teams of players that have been affiliated with Brock Pierce for years now. Other team players are versed in social media. Once Bitcoin got its footing, the key players are now able to step forward espousing how they just discovered Bitcoin and how it will change the world, when the truth of the matter is they were in at the get-go, will Bitcoin Minions losing millions along the way. And it ain't over.

That's how I read it, with apologies for not taking the time to clean up the verbiage, hoping the gist came out sans proper articulation.

I have close to $20K real money tied up that was once worth over $1.5M. I have a guy here in Sandwich, IL, that lost $10K in real money that he put into Bitcoinica thanks to my recommendation at the time. I doled out approximately another $20K due to me having to move, close and clean up sites where I had barn wood stored due to EPA issues brought on by the powers that be here in Sandwich because they believe that I'm somehow the ringleader of Bitcoin.

Hell, these fuckers are even trying to get a simple $1K via Bitcoin 100 to further their cause, a couple I believe snuck under the radar early on in spite of doing due diligence.

It's looking more and more like a ruse each passing day, especially when I read on various other sites, most non-Bitcoin related that it looks odd for a guy to have just ran cross-country still has a gut, with apologies to JK.

It's how Bitcoin is perceived from the outside that will make or break us, and having an accused pedophile on the board of TBF, regardless of skill sets, WILL NOT help matters, hence my crusade.

I duly hope this post helps in some way in addressing your question(s), bud.

There's a sad irony in this, though. Since IGE was sold, the man behind it, Brock Pierce, once again escapes the law. He escaped the charges of copyright infringement and piracy of software when he worked with DEN. Then, he escaped charges that he played a role in trafficking minors across state lines for sex with his boss. And also, what of the "enormous amounts of child porn" at their hideout in Spain? You can bet Brock Pierce did no time for that.

And so, finally someone musters up a lawsuit against IGE, and albeit a welcome gesture, it's just a bit too late... the man that made IGE what it is through dirty practices (he's made a living doing that since he was a teen) doesn't face any legal consequence for it. Instead, the company that acquired IGE now has to combat the lawsuit. If it's true that Jonathan Yantis now owns IGE, making him once again the filthy king of RMT, then at least he might be sued. But, I doubt he'll suffer much. Maybe one less plasma screen TV in his lavish estate. Unless, of course, IGE is forced to shut down altogether...

Quote:
Don't take my earlier statement the wrong way, I hate rmt as much as anyone else, but it seems like the scum always go free, and get away with murder.

That would be an accurate statement even if this lawsuit is successful. Pierce is still out there. He's still a dirty dealer. He still (allegedly) likes child porn. And, he still owns Allakhazam (albeit indirectly). True, the holdings company no longer holds IGE, it now can claim legitimacy, but it's still a company run by a corrupt pervert who's never had to face justice. I like that they no longer own and maintain IGE, but there's still a crook out there who's rich and untouched by the law (possibly not untouched by Collins-Rector, however), and that's a shame. Not that there aren't plenty of those running corporations all over the world (especially here in the USA), but still, that's just one more in the pot.

Hopefully at least Yantis takes a hit for this. If IGE goes down, his recent purchase of it will have been a huge money sink. He is the man that really jump-started the RMT industry with extremely dirty tactics. Brock Pierce came in and exploited it, and made IGE the powerhouse it is today. There's more about the history of Yantis in the Azzor article in my sig... an article in dire need of an update.

Jonathan Yantis and Brock Pierce are now the core make-up of Sunlot.

First Meta, where Autumn Radtke was co-founder, is nothing but another iteration of IGE, both under the control of Brock Pierce, with Jonathan Yantis operating the strings in some capacity or another.

Before filing for bankruptcy, Mark had a reorganization plan written by some consultant, and then tried to find investors who could "buy" it and save the company.  I recall that at least one of the potential investors that he contacted came public about it, saying that they had dismissed the proposal immediately after realizing the magnitude of the problem. 

That was before Ms. Radtke's suicide, correct?

Which people or companies do we know that he contacted at the time?

i do love your detective work P.G

but i still think that Autumn committed suicide as she was being blamed for losing alot of investor money due to bad decisions. as we all know that fin shaggy is a money grabbing scammer(totally unrelated to brock/first meta), that if autumn was following him, it shows her naive nature to trust scamming assholes, lead to a decision to commit suicide.

i do not think that anyone ordered a hit on her. but i do think that committing suicide due to trusting assholes, played more of a logical part in the incident.
as we know:
1. she followed brock pierce. the number 1 asshole
2. she followed finshaggy, less of an asshole but still an asshole. so it still goes to show she trusted the wrong people
3. no one would commit suicide over just knowing a asshole. but making a huge financial mistake due to assholes.. now thats more logical

i believe she lost alot of first meta investment in the mtgox affair and was left with all the blame due to asshole partner of her denying any ties to the funds

It may have been a suicide, but "losing a lot of investor money due to bad decisions" does not seem to be enough reason for killing oneself in that community.   She had not been charged with anything it seems.  Also, the timing was not right, was it?  It was a while before the extent of the loss at MtGOX became known, IIRC.

Take a look at the archives.org version of firstmeta.com. They were doing great way before Autumn came on board. After she came on board a handful months later, FM received more VC. For the founder of FM to recruit AR due to her work at xFire is one hell of a stretch, thus I contend she was offered up. Both VC entities are located in Block #71 where the corp. add. of where FM is located, well Autumn worked chiefly from home cum office where GoCoin had their office, along where Steve Beauregard stayed while in Singapore away from his wife and family (If you're thing... that's exacting what I'm implying).

You interested in a link depicting Autumn in arms of 100+ various men yet? Do you have a pretty niece, or some other family member, with only a high school diploma interested in working for Apple consisting of some cushion position? If so, talk her outta it, for she could see the world via entering some other industry. I'm just saying.

Let me put the above in perspective in as delicately as possible.

Let's say, for sake of argument, that Gavin somehow, someway, got himself in some precarious predicament, i.e. fucking some chick that wasn't his wife while in some other city (guess I just tossed delicately outta the window). At what lengths would Gavin go to make sure his wife, family, assets, etc. are not made aware/interrupted?

That is the game these fucks play - and worst - off the backs of those who know how to use shovels, saws, hammers, and other tools of various trades. All thanks to the advent of the internet and having the gift of gab - think preacher or politician.

Unless she had inside info, albeit suicide or murder would still be in play. She was a close ally of Brock Pierce, and we already know that Sunlot was in negotiations with Mt Gox.

So a it goes a little something like this:

 Brock Pierce and Alan Debboneville and Mark Rector and Shackley all join the same guild on some stupid online game.

All of them go into business together - IGE.com (video game currency exchange i believe)

competing with Jonathan Yantis (he was #1 in market, they were #2)

After some battles, they merge the 2 companies.

Brock buys Yantis out. Forces Debboneville out. Yantis gets brought back in by Brock. Debboneville sues.

in the lawsuit, Debboneville claims Yantis was brought back for this reason:

yantis also advised debonville that if a deal was not reached with ige, yantis had already put a network in place to compete with and destroy ige. yantis also stated that through the hiring of certain individuals who he had a long time relationship with, Yantis would sell currency that had been exploited or duped.

Exploing or duping is a process whereby an outsider hacks the game program into creating currency for the individual or duplicating an item and then selling it over and over which also results the creation of currency. Thes actions allow for the exploiter/duper to create an endless supply of currency without any real cost to that currency. This is something that Yantis had done in the past and had made large profits from. The exploiter/duper would typically receive a commission for any currency sold of about 40% of the sales price. Due to the currency being exploited, Yantis was and would be able to sell currency at a price significantly below market, since the cost of the currency sold was non existent. This also allowed for an infinite supply to be created in what could take as little time as a few minutes.

Yantis indidcated that this was also how he could turn the trading arm of IGE around and make it profitable, almost instantly. Pierce was aware of Yantis' intent to use these exploits. In fact, Pierce counted on them as part of the rationale behind why Yantis should be brought back to work for IGE.

Mt Gox targeted by a hacker for "years" and somehow they never noticed until 97% of their reserves were stolen. Sure!

In late February, MtGox disappeared from the internet. The website was wiped clean and Twitter accounts were closed as one of the most trustworthy of Bitcoin’s many exchanges crumbled. A leaked memo reveals some of the story: in what seems to be an unparalleled, multi-year hack, the exchange had been made insolvent and its reserves had been pillaged.

$450M OF BITCOINS ‘LOST’ BY MTGOX

Nearly 850,000 bitcoins – 750,000 belonging to users and 100,000 to the exchange – vanished; spirited away and protected by the pseudo-anonymity that Bitcoin offers. It is pseudo-anonymity, as opposed to complete invisibility, because Bitcoin’s global ledger is completely transparent, allowing anyone to see transactions that have taken place between Bitcoin wallets, but diving through the myriad of data is a forensic activity in itself.

other bitcoin exchanges begin to get hacked in late feb. notice the timing, the hacker waited to attack the other ones because he knew they would notice very quickly and barely be able to get any money. so he waited to hack them until he had already drained Mt Gox. also notice that all of the other exchanges noticed the attack extremely quickly but for some odd reason. Mt Gox never noticed it for multiple years until 97% of their bitcoins were stolen.

http://www.theverge.com/2014/2/15/5414610/bitstamp-restores-service-after-targeted-attack%20

now here is the description of the hacker's technique:

Then, for much of February, customers were unable to complete withdrawals because of so-called ‘transaction malleability’ – a bug in the software that can be exploited to mask transactions to make it seem that they did not actually occur. It is this bug that many believe has drained MtGox dry and left it unable to complete legitimate withdrawals.

The second incarnation of the Silk Road has run into some trouble, with the administrator known as Defcon claiming today the site has fallen victim to a hack, and that all the associated accounts have been emptied. Judging by the blockchain records, attackers made off with roughly $2.7 million in bitcoin, the site's complete holdings. According to Defcon, the hack exploited the same "transaction malleability" bug that caused temporary shutdowns at Mt Gox and BitStamp earlier this week. He claims a vendor exploited the bug during a vulnerable moment in the site's relaunch process, initiating and hiding a flood of transactions until the accounts were emptied.

seems to me that Yantis' technique for hacking currency in video games is eerily similar to the technique used by the bitcoin hacker. Yantis and Brock are or were partners. connections with mt gox, connections with autumn radke.... maybe autumn had evidence of who the hacker was.

I don't know about Yantis's involvement, but the claim that the MtGOX hacker exploited the "transaction malelability bug" was dismissed by a group of MIT researchers:  

During the year or so that they have been gathering their data, Decker and Wattenhofer have observed a total of 302,000 bitcoins involved in malleability attacks. However, the vast majority of these occurred after MtGox’s February 10 press release, and appear to be copycat attacks triggered by the news that they could be successful. These, presumably, cannot have involved MtGox because it had prevented its customers from accessing their accounts by then. [ ... ] “As such, barely 386 bitcoins could have been stolen using malleability attacks from MtGox or from other businesses,” they conclude.

Perhaps, who knows, those transaction malelability attacks were issued by MtGOX managers themselves, in an attempt to cover up what really happened.

seems to me that Yantis' technique for hacking currency in video games is eerily similar to the technique used by the bitcoin hacker. Yantis and Brock are or were partners. connections with mt gox, connections with autumn radke.... maybe autumn had evidence of who the hacker was.

I do not find that likely, since the "transaction malelability" attack seems too specific to the bitcoin protocol.  In particular, it depends on the "best effort" propagation of the transaction requests, that allows the "malleated" requests to get ahead of the true ones; and on the faulty logic allegedly used by MtGOX to detect failed requests.  Computer games depend on centralized servers and more deterministic connections.  

However, it is possible that Yantis's exploit involved some synchronization bug too.

As for the death of Autumn Radtke, It is hard to dismiss the idea that it was somehow connected to the collapse of MtGOX. The coincidence of dates and business area, her close connection to key players in the digital currency world, the location near Japan, the apparent lack of motive for suicide, the absence of witnesses...

Whoever stole those half a billion dollars would surely murder anyone who threatened to expose the crime, if he had occasion and means to do so.

?!?!?!? In what way was Yantis' exploit 'similar to the MtGox fiasco'?

Exploing or duping is a process whereby an outsider hacks the game program into creating currency for the individual or duplicating an item and then selling it over and over which also results the creation of currency. Thes actions allow for the exploiter/duper to create an endless supply of currency without any real cost to that currency.

Has there ever been a demonstrated hack that allowed the hacker to 'create currency' or 'duplicate an item', where the currency or item was BTC?

Touche'. Now what does this have to do with any exploit that Yantis might conceivably have used on MtGox?

That 2010 bug was a trivial coding mistake.  If one issued a transaction request with two very large outputs, the sum would overflow the number of bits allocated for the total, yielding a negative value; and the software then would not realize that the total outputs exceeded (by a huge margin) the amount available in the address.   That bug was quickly fixed at the time, but required a rewind of the blockchain to remove the absurd transaction.

The bug that Mark blamed for the MtGOX loss was more complicated. The protocol itself was not broken, but allowed certain cosmetic changes to a trasaction request that would not invalidate its signature.  By manipulating those cosmetic details, the hacker could cause the MtGOX software to think that a client's withdrawal request did not go through, when in fact it had.  The software would then credit back the coins to the internal client account, and try to withdraw again.  This was possible only because the MtGOX software was carelessly coded and did not ignore changes in those those cosmetic details.

I do not think that this explanation makes sense.  Perhaps some hacker tried this attack, Mark noticed it, and  thought of blaming the entire loss on it, so that people would not look for the real cause.  Or perhaps he noticed the weak spot in the code, but, instead of fixing, it he decided to steal all the coins and then blame it on this bug.  Or someone else noticed the weak spot, and convinced or forced Mark to do that.

Right.... So again, what does this have to do with Yantis? Are we agreed that this speculation about Yantis helping Pearce to steal all the Gox coins makes exactly zero sense?

[JorgeStolfi]

Well, at this point he is just one of the 7 billion suspects -- all equally likely, IMHO. 

[Raize]

Right.... So again, what does this have to do with Yantis? Are we agreed that this speculation about Yantis helping Pearce to steal all the Gox coins makes exactly zero sense?

I suppose it's still a possibility, but I wouldn't consider it likely. It is possible that a transaction malleability bug with Gox was used very slowly with small amounts and massive numbers of accounts over time in order to avoid drawing any attention until it was too late. This could have been done by any one of maybe a few hundred Bitcoiners over the course of 2011-2013. However, the technical skill to do this wouldn't have been possessed by many people, let alone the hardware, so that's why I say maybe "a few hundred". It might have even required collusion with a major mining pool to pull off efficiently, assuming Gox knew what they were doing and making sure their transactions had wide network exposure.

Unfortunately, because of a likely gag order, Mark is unable to confirm or deny any of this, even though the gag order probably has more to do with money-laundering than a Gox heist itself.

I think it's more likely that mismanagement of the site and the government seizure of Gox coin and funds had more to do with its collapse. Either that or someone stole some private keys and Mark's not giving out the details intentionally. Suffice to say, someone got screwed over somewhere, and for whatever reason, it's not being talked about.

Autumn's death might have just been a result of her having put a client's funds too heavily into Gox. Something like one of these. Was there a note or anything? I guess I never heard if there was a note. While it might seem "fun" to speculate on this stuff, keep in mind that she did have family and friends that aren't likely to want to talk about it, let alone hear people debate about it.

[jbreher]

Well, if you believe the published analysis, then this was decidedly NOT possible. I forget the number, but the total of transactions that might have been conceivably exposed to the transaction malleability exploit -- system wide, not just Gox's -- amounted to no more than a fraction of a percent of Gox's lost coins.

[JorgeStolfi]

It is possible that a transaction malleability bug with Gox was used very slowly with small amounts and massive numbers of accounts over time in order to avoid drawing any attention until it was too late.

Two guys at MIT looked at the relevant logs and concluded that most attempts to exploit the "malelability bug" came only after Mark blamed it for the loss; and at most a couple hundred BTC could have been lost that way:
http://www.technologyreview.com/view/526161/the-troubling-holes-in-mtgoxs-account-of-how-it-lost-600-million-in-bitcoins/

IUnfortunately, because of a likely gag order, Mark is unable to confirm or deny any of this, even though the gag order probably has more to do with money-laundering than a Gox heist itself.

Like the malelability bug, the gag order may be only an excuse.  But he surely must have been advised by his lawyers to keep his mouth firmly shut.  That is standard legal advice for anyone in his situation.

If other people are involved, with or without his cumplicity, perhaps he is silent for fear of physical consequences.  Someone who steals such a large sum will have the motivation and the means to murder anyone who threatens his loot and freedom.  (Note, for example, that Ross Ulbricht is charged with trying to hire a hitman to take out someone who was blackmailing him; whether it is true or not, it is quite plausible.)

It is hard to understand how he could have, all alone, made the coins vanish so completely that the crowd detectives still cannot locate them in the blockchain, even with the help of the leaked database.  

Autumn's death might have just been a result of her having put a client's funds too heavily into Gox. Something like one of these. Was there a note or anything? I guess I never heard if there was a note. While it might seem "fun" to speculate on this stuff, keep in mind that she did have family and friends that aren't likely to want to talk about it, let alone hear people debate about it.

As far as I know, there was no note or any other evidence clearly indicating a suicide, nor any specific cause.  Someone who was close to her implied that she was somewhat "down" on the previous day, but nothing specific.  Brock Pierce later called her friends for an evening of remembrance or something in Los Angeles.  I have not read anything coming from her family about possible reasons for her death.

I find it hard to believe that she would kill herself for advising someone to put money into MtGOX.  She was hardly alone in making that mistake, and every investment advice has at least 50% chance of being disastrous .  Although she was involved with virtual currencies in general, AFAIK she was not really a "bitcoin evangelist" that would push reluctant investors into bitcoin.  

[andrewbb]

She was building a company that instantly exchanged any currency for any currency, including digital.

Her design threatened the world's currency owners, because it gave people an escape from being locked into a single currency.  For example, it would allow a person in Singapore to live their life using the currency of their choice (gold, bitcoin, yen, usd, british pound, canadian dollar, etc.) without ever touching or holding a Singapore dollar, and having total freedom to transact with anyone and everyone.

That's why she was killed.

[QuestionAuthority]

Thanks for the breakdown. You're making Bitcoin sound like a mafia run club to hide illegal activity. That might be true, I don't know. There's been enough criminal activity surrounding Bitcoin so far to substantiate that view. I know you're a decent guy and you're trying to help. You're just donating so much of your time to this I thought their might be another reason. Him being involved in Bitcoin since 2009 is highly suspect. In fact, everything you're digging up is giving me a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach.

I like Bitcoin and, as you know, got into it very early on. I've made a fat stack of cash on it selling most at over $700. I've always liked the concept of Bitcoin and the freedom it can give to the little guy but I'm having second thoughts about continuing to support it. Every time one of these connections between Bitcoin and underworld activities (murder, SR drug sales, wide scale theft, illegal sexual deviance, illegal gambling, racketeering, online sex for hire) happens I think we may have all been fooled. Bitcoin is the perfect place to get rich quick but you may have to cross a few lines to do it. I don't know that wealth at all costs is worth losing your soul.

Here's a blast from the past.

not buying, you or some news article isn't going to convince me that Autumn Radtke was unwittingly on the verge of being approached to make the greatest deal of all time. If you can buy off the Singaporean justice system, you can easily get Autumn Radtke arrested or imprisoned on some trumped up charge.

The only possible reason I can think of to fake-suicide someone is to keep their credible mouth shut. Maybe there's some other possibility, I'm all ears.
