BTCHero: bitfoo: i enjoyed it, don't listen to him
BTC-Mining: There's a ton of people with the name starting with P...
BTCHero: bitfoo: im starting to feel ill
bitfoo: and patrick's name starts with a p too
BTC-Mining: So it matches the week's returns for all shares, even if bought last minute
BTC-Mining: And will pay the difference
BTCHero: how do you account for that
BTCHero: but, it wouldn't accrue the full interest then right?
BTC-Mining: I transfer it
BTCHero: BTC-Mining: you already have all the funds available on glbse deposited with patrick i assume?
mircea_popescu: he seems pretty credible to me too.
mircea_popescu: i wonder why deadterra doesn't do it tbh
BTCHero: and i suspect many will still fall for it too
BTCHero: I now have my coins with hashking patrickharnett and kluge.... the lure for hyip is still strong with me
EmanuelDeOrtego: Do you guys want to make some money?
mircea_popescu: different people tho.
dub: no, _I_ want to get rich quickly tyvm
mircea_popescu: i mean, why is alabama alabama and new york new york ? they both have people in them.
bitfoo: yeah, I really hope people didn't buy BTC just because there were crazy HYIPs
mircea_popescu: you don't want those guys. you want people with a head on their shoulders.
bitfoo: oh that
mircea_popescu: but he was talking about people attracted by ponzi-level interest.
bitfoo: why? don't you think people will wisen up to this now?
mircea_popescu: well... i kinda care tbh
mircea_popescu: BTC-Mining not the sort of peopleyou want.
BTC-Mining: Because if he paid his debt, how much people would have started getting into bitcoins because there was an actual, true 7% per week investment? Would have raised BTC price a lot
mircea_popescu: dude get off the chan with s.mpoe we're trying to have drama hiar!
dub: but anyway, his actions don't scream ponzi to me
BTC-Mining: I sold when he stopped operation, bought back low, then people realized it's not a pay back, but a default... am I better off?
bitfoo: BTC should go up, because people will write off their pirated bitcoins and will want to buy more
dub: ic3d: both of those are good for him potentially
mircea_popescu: the market is going up on the news.
dub: unless all this posturing is just to incite a BTC price crash
dub: it looks to me like pirate fucked up
mircea_popescu: it's so sad to see how far this crap got.
dub: well I'm quite glad I sold out of your ppt a long time ago :)
Chaang-Noi: At this time I will just ignore his request as he can not prove I have these so called "sub accounts".
Chaang-Noi: My personal obligations to GLBSE have nothing to do with Pirate.
Chaang-Noi: I can not see why at all I am obligated to give pirate more information to get back coins owed.
Chaang-Noi: Pirate refused to give me his lawyers contact information. Since he is claiming he can not speak because his lawyers will not let him so he is clearly operating in bad faith. He did not even confirm his identity.
Chaang-Noi: Pirate did not explain why he needed more information or what would happen if I did not send it or why he had that very odd deadline.
Chaang-Noi: Pirate when he gave me the request he did so over IRC and not in a formal legally valid way.
mircea_popescu: dub no, it's just, if we have a deal we are working on that's fine. if you get your lawyer involved, i will get mine.
Chaang-Noi: I do not have a trust account. The status was never changed and I never paid the 500 fee.
Chaang-Noi: I see that I have no obligation to honour Pirates request for information on "sub accounts"
dub: mircea_popescu: so is lawyer is goign to recommend having everyone involved call him
EmanuelDeOrtego: * _matthew_ is still betting he's going to pay off
mircea_popescu: dub if he is taking legal advice you want the phone of his lawyer
dub: mircea_popescu: because that is what pirate asked for, presumable on legal advise, and assuming he actually wants to payout
mircea_popescu: no, actually, that's the one shred of credibility he has left.
dub: by screaming bullshit and refusing to even do that he is makign shit worse
EmanuelDeOrtego: He needs Goat to provide information
EmanuelDeOrtego: ic3d: He's in deep shit and needs to put the shit on someone else
dub: why goat can't just say "9001 bitcoins are my personal shit and 9001 bitcoins are in glbse ppt that I cannot provide individual details for" is beyond me
mircea_popescu: o, he's in "let's talk of something else" mode ?
EmanuelDeOrtego: <_matthew_> And if he isn't doing some kind of shady insider bullshit, why wouldn't goat be able to just give that information?
EmanuelDeOrtego: <_matthew_> Why is goat trying to stall payouts to people whom he owes money to?
Chaang-Noi: mircea no one cares what you think :/ or say...
mircea_popescu: i guess we see nao if there's anyone willing to trust glbse for umm what is is
EmanuelDeOrtego: MPeX Users: There are over 22K+ S.DICE shares for sale on the GLBSE for .0032. There is a bid for 90k+ S.DICE shares at .0033 on MPeX. DeaDTerra will convert GLBSE shares to MPeX shares with no fee.
mircea_popescu: suicide move, that.
mircea_popescu: after you and the gang killed half a million bitcoin in the hands of those fools enough to trust you.
mircea_popescu: fact of the matter is, currently i speak for about 90% of all btc investors left standing.
mircea_popescu: if only that were true... your position would be a lot better.
Chaang-Noi: mircea no one cares what you think :/ or say...
mircea_popescu: for the pleasure of playing craps like old ladies.
mircea_popescu: so you went to vegas from thailand at great persona expense and difficulty
Chaang-Noi: there was not much talk about gpuman or btcst
Chaang-Noi: giga sure, pirate well at this point i think no
mircea_popescu: if that only were true, you'd be in so much better a position...
bitfoo: Chaang-Noi, so did they turn out not to be your friends? :|
Chaang-Noi: nope, and i did not expect to get any
Chaang-Noi: mircea no one cares what you think :/ or say...
blazing: so actually you left vegas with no more information about pirate then when you arrived
mircea_popescu: nobody there has 10's of k's to invest.
mircea_popescu: on the grounds of what liquidity i have seen on glbse, the sorts of numbers you folks were flashing there make no sense.
mircea_popescu: Chaang-Noi here's the problem as i see it : there's no way for me to verify that you weren't buying your own shares of pirate thing.
Chaang-Noi: . test
Chaang-Noi: i went cuz i wanted to go to vegas and felt, hell why not then, go to defcon and see pirate and giga and some of the people who i had assumed were my freinds
Chaang-Noi: everything that was posted online was true
Chaang-Noi: we however had a dinner and then later played some craps
Chaang-Noi: blazing i was there
mircea_popescu: i have no ideea what the meeting has to do with, i wasn't there
blazing: do you think the meeting in vegas may have something to do with this?
mircea_popescu: there;s a pretty solid theory that the guy sold his own debt at cut-down rates for a 2nd round of scamming. it'd make sense.
mircea_popescu: they could be in collusion, or the opperators could be just victims.
blazing: you mean the passthrough operator is selling them or pirate?
mircea_popescu: incidentally, that is a very good point.
mircea_popescu: work if he's sent them through one of the pass-throughs.
mircea_popescu: It is fairly common in ponzi scams to create false accounts to give the illusion of popularity. Other people will be more inclined to invest if they think other people believe it works. This costs him nothing or very little, because the money goes back to himself, and they will never be claimed while the scam runs. If they are in the form of extra shares on GLBSE it would be trivial to sell them at a discount now, and somewhat more
blazing: i hope this whole pirate thing draws more attention to bitcoin
mircea_popescu: into which he can donate the proceeds of sold riser cables
EmanuelDeOrtego: I think Chaang-Noi is fine.
EmanuelDeOrtego: "This bond is in no way insured. The money gained from the selling of these bonds will go to BTCST. This bond is not guaranteed but will be honored at best effort."
mircea_popescu: heck is a tag gonna change ?
mircea_popescu: It's only symbolic at this point, anyway -- no one's going to be tricked into trading with someone involved in such a high-profile controversy.
EmanuelDeOrtego: Pirate will be getting the scammer tag

mircea_popescu: step into the light goat.
