mircea_popescu: "After all, this is a dude with a lot of industry exposure and investments as it is. He could basically build a closed-loop bitcoin ecosystem himself via his roles as both investor (BitAngels, LA Bitcoin Accelerator) and executive at companies ranging from mining (KNCMiner), ATM hardware (Robocoin), payment processing (GoCoin), consumer wallet (ExpressCoin), and bitcoin exchange (Mt. Gox?). "

mircea_popescu: "I didn’t want to touch this story with a ten-foot pole because 1) I’ve met and have had only positive experiences with Pierce, 2) he is one of the most well-connected and important early investors in the Bitcoin industry, and 3) even if I hated him and he was a nobody, I’m still licking my wounds from the Gox and BTC Foundation battles I waged in February/March. The last thing I want to do is comment on a new p
mircea_popescu: anyway, apparently the two bit idiot character still exists and still posts. notwithstanding that nobody reads that pulp, either. now get a load of this :

mircea_popescu: the order without other modification. Although "proposed orders" are common in many situations, one does not typically request that documents be sealed by appending the request to another order in the Central District of California.

mircea_popescu: >[The complaint was filed June 11, 2007, and was sealed over three months later, on September 17, 2007. Until that time it had been publicly available. It was sealed with one sentence near the end of a "proposed order" granting a motion to strike certain portions of the complaint.
