Even if you use Bitcoin through Tor, the way transactions are handled by the network makes anonymity difficult to achieve. Do not expect your transactions to be anonymous unless you really know what you're doing.

Maybe pirate was just running a pass-through for Zeek Rewards. The timing is certainly suspect: - Jan 2011 Zeek Rewards opens, paying out 1.5% daily (established long before pirate setup shop)
- Aug 17th 2012 SEC files complaint and Zeek Rewards subsequently shuts down it's website
1.5% daily is enough cream on the top to accommodate for small changes in bitcoin price. Perhaps pirate's request for PPT operators was more to get a count of how many were affected (for the SEC?). I really don't know but I just heard about Zeek Rewards and I'm rather surprised that nobody else on the forums seem to have tried to link pirate with it yet. I think you hit the mail on the head. |

People are realising the joys of irreversible transactions! I am most certainly a noob who just invested all my money in pirate. Thank you for pointing out how new I am and how I just now realized what a pickle this fiasco could be! That aside, I'm asking, someone steals 500k BTC, and no one is doing anything about it, yet. Is anyone actually able to do anything here? Like, really able? Can one sue? Can anyone take legal action? What part am I missing that is putting all the major players in this game off from doing anything against pirate? |

The lesson to learn here, then, and the first step to leave your "noobness" behind would be: Never put ALL your anything in any single place.
Edit: Ok, I'm just realizing the sarcasm... Anyway, the post stands, addressed to the real noobs out there... |

They most certainly wont be posting about it publicly on a forum pirate is most likely reading. Agreed, I said that before as well in another thread. Im also surprised how this shit storm seems to be calming down. From what Ive read this is something that happens regularly on these forums, its almost as if scamming the BTC community is something normal here
It's been almost three weeks, what do you expect? Besides, the people who are actually doing something about it probably aren't going to post on a forum about it, especially since he (pirate) reads it. |

I would imagine it will be difficult to prosecute as BTC is a virtual item, which is not recognised as currency in most juristictions.
Couple that with the fact the fact that Pirate is probably not his real name etc etc and proving that he is the one who people sent all their coins to will be difficult. Added to which, most of the investment was done via pass throughts or secondary agents etc.
You can see that it is not simple to investigate or prove and thats if any law enforcement is actually interested.
