No, not fun. I'm still sad and I didn't talk in class for the whole day.

Zhou Tong Tong seems to be a quite common name for a girl. On the other hand, I think Zhou Tong's account is compromised too.

Do you mean his bitcointalk account?

[Bitcoin Oz]

I don't usually tell stories, but when I do, I'm making fun of myself.

"Zhou Tong and Satoshi share the same back-man. The guy created a Chinese character and a Japanese one, and he chose Satoshi to be the Bitcoin creator because his achievements in cryptography made him more appropriate. Later he realized that Satoshi couldn't make enough money, so he used the prepared Zhou Tong to start BitcoinICA and a planned BitcoinIGG, which stands for:

I Come Abruptly,
I Go Gently."

No, not fun. I'm still sad and I didn't talk in class for the whole day.

I wish I have a girlfriend.

The sooner to hand yourself the sooner this will be over  

You're allowed to talk in class? I couldn't help but notice that you've yet to make up a story telling us how you're not Kevin Lim. While you're thinking of one, I'll go get the marshmallows for the fire.

And is this you, too?

Hi all,

If you live in Singapore, and want to buy Bitcoins quickly and (optionally) anonymously, I'm willing to sell.

Thank you.

If it is, it looks like you got a lot of business from that thread seeing all those posters phrasing your name.

Nah, I disagree. This is just Zhou being sarcastic. Although, it'd be hilarious if it was.

That's what I thought as well. Unless you have some other evidence?

Oops, yes, I do concur. I woke to Mark's report on Zhou Tong's account being hacked, and with a cursory glance on his recent posts reaffirmed that to me. Guess I need to snap out of those afternoon naps - was my sarcastic detector failing.

Not only AurumXchange, Mtgox dont have a contact physical mail address in their site
or may be i missed to see it?

When you want to apply for AML Level 2 status, you can get their physical address easily on the website.

I had done it and got my account approved in about a week.

But now as we have seen a few posts earlier there is proof that you have this information regarding AurumXchange. There is no reason to delay sending the documents to unfreeze the funds anymore. Please post publicly as soon as you sent them there. What is your guess at this point how long it will take you?

[sarpar]

ZHOU: The 5000 BTC you wanted still to send, are they stuck with you or still with "Chen"?

[MagicalTux]

Oops, yes, I do concur. I woke to Mark's report on Zhou Tong's account being hacked, and with a cursory glance on his recent posts reaffirmed that to me. Guess I need to snap out of those afternoon naps - was my sarcastic detector failing. 

Actually, this was quite over the sarcastic level acceptable considering the current situation.

Yep. I was under the impression that either Zhou Tong has finally gone off his rocker, or some impostor has taken over his account.  Never thought that he was trying to be funny in this dire situation.

Please help me connect the dots illustrated by Bruno ...


Statement 1: Zhou Tong is `Dustin Curtis` owner of lifepath.me

Evidence:

That is correct! Kevin Lim owns isthereason.com. Kevin Lim is the same person that was selling lifepath.me on eBay at the time that Zhou Tong owned it. Zhou Tong even mentions lifepath.me on his Twitter account(s) prior to it being for sale on eBay. The email addresses even match up.

Statement 3: Kevin Lim is a bitcoin vendor in singapore
Evidence:

A simple Linkedin search would have found out who is William W. Murck. Or try that Google thingy that's all the rage. Seriously, a researcher like Patrick A. Murck, could not find out the following? http://brainopera.tumblr.com/post/6286926273/will-buy-bitcoin-in-singapore

Statement 4: Kevin Lim is `sgbitcoins@yahoo.com.sg`

Statement 6: Zhou Tong is closely linked to Kevin Lim
Evidence:

If we can show that sgitcoin.com and sgbitcoins@yahoo.com.sg belong to the same identity.

They certainly appear very similar, coincidence would be hard to argue

Statement 7: bitchen is `sgbitcoins@yahoo.com.sg`
Evidence:

Hi everyone,

I'm offering GoxUSD funds or BTC for International Bank Wire/ WU/ Moneygram or local bank/ COD for people in Singapore. I will take a percentage as fee for withdrawals. This is a fast way for people looking to trade on Gox without waiting for their insane wire transfer times.

You can contact me via PM on the forums or drop me an email at sgbitcoins@yahoo.com.sg

Do let me know if you have any queries.

Statement 8: bitchen = Kevin Lim
Evidence:
From Statements  4 & 7
