Look at a pirate, eye to eye if you dare.

But saying to have met Pirate (when in fact this was true) can never, by any rational fair person, be considered the same as being an accomplice. Whether this is according to any law is secondary, the very derivation is a non sequitur.

of course there are many actions that will lead to condemnation (actually being an accomplice to a Ponzi scam would be one of them for me personally).

+1 for both points. I'd like to add that running a passthrough does not make one an accomplice when it's a ponzi. I've heard that said, and imo that makes no sense.

Somebody should link to "Association Fallacy" on Wikipedia. It would be a welcome change to all those "Ponzi" links (like we've never heard about it before).

If the point of this thread was for Pirate to "show himself" at Defcon so that investors would have more confidence, I don't think this has been fulfilled.
What we have is a picture of a bunch of people, with people saying "This is me with pirate" or "I think I know who Pirate is here".
Why is everybody else so afraid to pinpoint who Pirate is? What is the point of the picture if not to show who Pirate is?

PS! I have money in some PPTs so I'm no detractor, just a bit tired of the games that seem to be played here..

Pirate is 3rd from the right.  His real name is Trendon Shavers and he lives in McKinney, TX.  He will be turning 30 in September.

Of course, nobody will believe me because if they do it takes all the fun out of it.

All this information is available via google, and if you're investor you should already know all of it or you didn't do you due diligence and one day you will be scammed by a real scam artist.  Pirate, on the other hand is just a smart guy trying to get rich by helping bitcoin reach it's full potential.

dude......

Fruity?  What's wrong with homosexuals that you feel the need to call people 'fruity'?

Orange you glad he didn't call them bananas?

If I was Pirate, I would probably rent a little house somewhere, nowhere near where I really sleep, just for this cases...
