the20year: I'm sure
a good deal of it was in the stutenland and danzid corridor
mircea_popescu: as in, any case over
a 80yo alleged "theft" is thrown out of court just like that
Bugpowder: my real estate has
a nice deed record
mircea_popescu: Bugpowder you probably need an actual lawyer to tell you what
a joke that is.
Bugpowder: "What's more, this absence of
a paper trail speaks to criminal intent. If whoever took or exchanged the coins thought he was doing no wrong, we would expect to see some sort of documentation reflecting the transaction, especially considering how carefully and methodically the Mint accounted for the '33 Double Eagles."
pigeons: if you fear this is an internet rumor go to the physical archives of
a library
ozbot: Five signs your client may be running
a Ponzi scheme – Quartz
Bugpowder: Your hedge fund client is using
a retail checking account. Rather than use
a business bank account, Madoff’s hedge fund put billions of dollars from thousands of investors into

a ‘glaring absence of securities activity.’”

pigeons: but eeproms from the 80s will have bitrotted
a bit
nubbins`: almost bought
a 25 when they were selling for ~26-27 earlier this year
nubbins`: who said they had
a roll of cas coins?
nubbins`: <benkay>
a real millionaire would spend it all exhibiting the wealth, right?
Bugpowder: happened to one person in the course of
a criminal investigation.
nubbins`: is there any actual record of someone purchasing freshly-minted coins from
a pool?
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: No because I would be that guy who made
a typo. Casascius is more competent than I in that regard
mircea_popescu: the20year if he really wants to do it, south africa is probably
a better place.
Bugpowder: I've got
a roll of 50 in
a safe deposit box.
mircea_popescu: <Bugpowder> nobody paid attention when I posted it to reddit on the 28th. People needed
a wired article to make it news. << ridiculous, isn't it.
Bugpowder: nobody paid attention when I posted it to reddit on the 28th. People needed
a wired article to make it news.

mircea_popescu: i don't think anyone took it for more than that. caldwell was making
a few cents here and there with it, but not worth his time
mircea_popescu: benkay honestly, it was
a reasonably nice way to get people introduced to btc, back in 2011.
dexX7: same here.. insert coin
A, get unrealted coin B out
nubbins`: dexX7: seems like
a roundabout way of laundering. why not just send the raw btc? :P
dexX7: the line was interesting imho: "If he doesn’t verify or have
a way of knowing whether the owner of the bitcoins is the same person he’s sending the coins to, that’s
a problem ..."
ozbot: Casascius Physical Bitcoins Cracked at Defcon - Coding In My Sleep -
A Bitcoin Blog
