<Mods - Not an off-topic thread, but related to my latest pennings.> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gw3aWPxtpfESan Francisco Transforms Into Gotham City For Boy’s Batman WishThe duo scrambled to Nob Hill to save the damsel, who was facing an oncoming cable car at Green and Hyde streets as the crowd yelled “Go Batkid!”
Miles untied the damsel, who had been tied to a green box filled with question marks by the “The Riddler,” one of Batman’s villains.
People also crowded around the Financial District as the duo entered a bank at 550 Montgomery St. to look for the Riddler.
Inside they found the famed villain, who tried to steal jewelry and money but Miles locked him in a barred room with nowhere to escape. This Make-A-Wish event has everything: http://www.wickedfire.com/shooting-shit/179038-my-conversation-mark-karpeles-mtgox-2.html#post2164682[12:07] <JonWickedFire> Anything else you'd like to say to everyone before all the pissed off people start going nuts, even more...? [12:09] <MagicalTux> not really [12:09] <MagicalTux> maybe just a link? something like that: Why do we fall? - 9GAG [12:09] <MagicalTux> well, we'll see how this one goes anyway Not one, but two of the following: And last, but not least... (note the San Fran addy) http://www.silkroad.com/fr/Societe/Nos-bureaux.htmlFor those unaware, the founder of SilkRoad(.com) is also part of Sunlot along with Brock Pierce, et al.: namely, Andrew “Flip” Filipowski, who just so happens to have a propensity in naming his pet brands with the word...wait for it...Platinum in them, as in Platinum Member of TBF.

Is the SilRoad.com address in Tokyo perchance close to MtGOX's old offices? MtGOX: Round Cross 5F, Shibuya 2-Chome-11-6, Shibuya-ku Tokyo, Japan 150-0002 http://numismatics.pwnz.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Exclusive-License-Agreement-Reduced.pdfSR: JR Ebisu Building 11F 1-Chome-5-5 Ebisuminami, Shibuya-ku Tokyo, Japan 150-0022 http://www.silkroad.com/fr/Societe/Nos-bureaux.htmlIIRC, Shibuya is a favorite section of Tokyo for technology companies, so that probably does not mean anything. Adrresses in Japan are a complicated thing, I was not able to locate them for sure with Google Maps.

Academic interest in bitcoin only. Not owner, not trader, very skeptical of its longterm success.

I was implying that Mark Karpeles was sending us a message via the Batman logo as to who's behind Sunlot, i.e. SilkRoad, with an office at 550 Manhattan St, San Francisco, where they filmed that bank scene between Batkid and the Riddler for the Make-A-Wish event. I'm curious as to where the actors where sourced to play the various fictitious roles. Note the address of their Boston, MA, headquarters, albeit that'll be too much of a stretch. Further note their Redbank, NJ, address, home of a Forex outfit they control, again, probably too much of a stretch, for no way could such pertain to Bitcoin in their past, present or future plans. BTW, Red Bank, NJ, is two words, not one. Perhaps the website developer had a little bit too much to smoke the day he penned it. Perhaps, further, those who work for the outfit and have visited said site a myriad times were, too, too smoked-up to notice.

silkroad.com has no web history, in spite of being registered in 1993: http://web.archive.org/web/*/silkroad.com http://www.whois.com/whois/silkroad.comDomain Name: SILKROAD.COM Registrar: TLDS, LLC DBA SRSPLUS Whois Server: whois.srsplus.com Referral URL: http://www.srsplus.com Name Server: UDNS1.ULTRADNS.NET Name Server: UDNS2.ULTRADNS.NET Status: ok Updated Date: 02-feb-2012 Creation Date: 20-apr-1993 Expiration Date: 21-apr-2015 Take a look at what employees are saying about SilkRoad Technologies, with one screenshot below: http://www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/SilkRoad-Technology-Reviews-E34709.htmThis is run by the same guy making up Sunlot. Sunlot sure the hell is going to look out for Mt Gox's former clients, when they are proven time and time and time again to NOT give a shit about their employees. Same true with everything that Brock Pierce has touched (perhaps, a double ententre) in the past. Bottom line, we fellow bitcoiners are getting fucked up the ass big-time. Sadly, this ain't the worst of it, in case you're asking if there's anything worst, the answer is YES!

I don't understand this.
is it weird?
Is the fact that one of the named investors/partners in Sunlot is none other than Louis J. Freeh? http://freehgroup.com/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_FreehClinton appointee Freeh has been a busy buy since his ignominious retirement shortly after 9/11. Most recently, he was the trustee in a massive shareholder lawsuit against MF Global, another superstar financial behemoth that poofed into insolvency overnight, taking millions in customer funds with it. So for those who are wondering just WHO within Sunlot will be doing the heavy lifting of scanning the digital Mt. Gox records to hunt down all those lost coins...just flip to page 17 of 33 in this helpful document: http://www.scribd.com/doc/219613733/sunlot-holdings-proposed-rehabilitation-plan-ENGLISH#fullscreenSo the former head of the FBI and his private security consulting firm will be spearheading "cooperation with forensic (digital) investigations and enforcement, and compliance". Well, that's a relief! Of course, Freehbird and his Sunlot buddies would never THINK of sharing any of that "digital forensic evidence" with all their Clinton appointee buddies who currently staff the senior ranks of the Obama Justice Department... ** If I didn't Ja Ja Ja I'd have to cry **

Michael Terpin and Brock Pierce both suck Clinton's dick (assume figuratively, unless...).

Plus, some mod thought this is not relevant to Bitcoin, not having merit to be in the Discussion section, thus moved to off-topic.

You mean this David Weiss... ...who just recently change his Facebook profile? WOW! These fuckers are good! https://www.facebook.com/david.weiss.372661 is no longer searchable via Google, though https://www.facebook.com/david.weiss. 501, et al. (unrelated) are.

There you go, connecting all the crazy dots again. David R. Weiss, president of The Lone Wolf Cigar Company, acquired the company in 2000, after managing the retail operations since 1996. Weiss's leadership led the company from a specialty niche position to nationally recognized brand and retailer of all brands both in brick and mortar locations and via catalog and internet in Lone Wolf’s sister and mail order company DWCigars.com. Weiss's interest in the company was as much about his respect for The Lone Wolf lines of cigars as it was about the vision he shared with Norris and Belushi of a company promoting camaraderie, community and culture. Weiss said, “Everyone is a Lone Wolf in their own way and we celebrate that by bringing Lone Wolfs together, all across the country and globe, to enjoy the finer things in life."
