gribble: brendafdez was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 5 days, 2 hours, 25 minutes, and 26 seconds ago: <brendafdez> mircea_popescu it works now. Anyway the IP I'm on now is one of

a DEA agent to illegally run criminal history checks on individuals for the benefit of
a third-party digital currency exchange company, CoinMKT, in which FORCE had personally invested approximately $110,000 worth of bitcoin."
punkman: heh "FORCE functioned as the de facto Chief Compliance Officer for CoinMKT all the while employed as
a DEA agent, even allowing himself to be featured in CoinMKT's "pitch decks" to venture capital investors and allowing himself to be listed as CoinMKT's anti-money laundering and/or compliance officer"
ascii_field: 'In summary, for the nearly two year period before FORCE worked the Silk Road case, FORCE deposited
a total of approximately $250,000 into his bank accounts, an amount consistent with his federal salary. In contrast to that, the bank records show that in the just over two-year timeframe from FORCE's joining the Silk Road case to his May 2014 resignation, FORCE deposited approximately $776,000 into his bank accounts, an
mircea_popescu: dude if i was going to put everything in i'd be there for
a week.

nubbins`: not
a loss on ink/toner costs, mind you, but
a loss on time
nubbins`: i actually took
a loss on
a job
a while back because i priced it for color laser prints and they weren't up to snuff

a fool to use an inkjet
nubbins`: but the CIS kit i have supplies
a constant flow of very inexpensive, high quality ink
mike_c: i have had mixed success with chinese knockoff ink cartridges, and have
a suspicion they have led to the death of my current printer..
nubbins`: ascii_field that's
a function of the paper 8)
nubbins`: i can recommend
a nice printer setup tho

a petty theft case but very instructive
ascii_field: ben_vulpes: ever sit on
a jury in usa? recall what it was like ?
chetty: omg, we all log on to b-
a, must be the same person
ben_vulpes: "...the outdated version that both "French Maid" and FORCE (as Nob) used is more of
a "signature" given the greater number of versions available."
ben_vulpes: "additional pieces of circumstantial evidence prove that FORCE is "French Maid." Both "French Maid" and Force (operating as "Nob") used the exact same brand of PGP software,
a feww brand called GnuPG. There are different brands of PGP software, so it is noteworthy that both FORCE (operating as "Nob") and "French Maid" used the same brand."
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes in the system they live in, this is
a crime.
mircea_popescu: because no, i won't be impressed or satisfied with

a polo shirt
ascii_field: some years ago, when i still worked at [small usg research outpost] we had
a 'gatehouse incident.' much commotion and yellow tape, etc. turned out, guard blew own brains out messily
ascii_field: pete_dushenski: these are descriptors for the folks who happily buy faux death rays from feds and imprisoned for life, or ram
a gate because the voices commanded it
ascii_field: that is to say,
a machine where the 'answers' don't actually matter

a term, 'pornwatchingcomputer'

nubbins`: did i mention that i saw
a cop help someone break into
a house earlier?
