Breaking News! Bitcoin mining company threatens to kill fellow Bitcoiner via PM

[Phinnaeus Gage]

The above PM (with my reply) was just sent to me by Joshua Zipkin of AMT (Advanced Mining Technology, or Technologies, depending on what day it is).

I assume I have to take his threat seriously, given that Josh Zipkin is on record in stating that he's not a liar.

Serious question, folks: Should I notify the authorities?

What is your backstory?  I hear you post about your stolen bitcoins and now some one wants to kill you.  There must be an interesting story behind this.

You're exaggerating again. He's not threatening to kill you. He's only threatening to break your arms and/or fingers.

Links to original post?

I would take it seriously if he did post that.

Either I didn't read it that way, or killing somebody would accomplish the same thing, i.e.typing anything at all wont be something you'll be able do anymore, and that's not a threat.

But, for sake of argument, isn't breaking somebody's bones considered a threat?

It was via a PM, hence the screenshot. I can screen shot it again sans my comment if that'll help, bud. Plus, theymos can verify it.

As you can see, it has all the markings of a Penn State alumni.

What'd you do to make this happen?

Killing someone is an awful lot of effort to go to just to stop them from typing. Breaking bones is much easier.

But, for sake of argument, isn't breaking somebody's bones considered a threat?

Yes, but the police are probably less likely to do anything about it.

[Phinnaeus Gage]

I think he doesn't like my postings pertaining to him and AMT.

[Parazyd]

Could you sue him or something?

Internet tough guy lol

Looks like Josh Zipkin of AMT went offline directly after penning that PM to me.

"typing anything at all won't be something you'll be able to do anymore"

he's just threatening to come to his house and spill water on his keyboard...

omgomgomgomg *panicking* BRunooo!!!



Doesn't sound like he's that far 'into' the whole killing you process, just threats at this point. I heard you could buy a flamethrower with BTC today.. 'twas on reddit.

[franky1]

atleast it proves one thing, AMT are scum,

for instance alot of people hate Apple for many reasons
their itunes softare is crap
they blockd bitcoin apps
thir prices are extortionate

but do they make death threats, no,

AMT sound like scammy basement dwellers that live with their parents. no professionalism, no regard for reputation, no forward thinking about PR.

i think we should all go on a scam accusation war against AMT.. afterall, they cant kill all of us.
so if you have a blog, or contacts in all the bitcoin media sites then inform the world of your negative opinions of AMT. if they think they can stop one person from tainting their sham.. then try a few hundred.

then they would be less likely to pick on bruno as there are hundreds of other people also tainting their name. making any death threat to a single person useless

Ye and every wow player has done my mom... internet threats and keyboard heroes

Serious question, folks: Should I notify the authorities?

Yes please.

[Broseph Stalin]

Seriously, I don't care if he's just an internet tough guy that would never do anything.
I STILL think you should notify the police. Threats are threats, and if something does happen to you, and he's already in their system for threatening you; he'll be the prime suspect immediately.
