mircea_popescu: fucking ridiculous narrative. from 1910 onwards, the same soup of the puritan-contrite criminal
mircea_popescu: That brings me to the final point. I initially intended to teach the community a lesson about trust, I did not expect anyone to really take the bets and thus I did not expect to keep any profits. As the bets grew though, I was tempted with greed and I fell into a trap.

mircea_popescu: smickles i presume cause nobody wants to do business with them anymore because nobody's sure if they have or haven't backdoored
mircea_popescu: smickles his generalisation is unwarranted. one particular da's dirty got blown in the open is all.
mircea_popescu: anyway. that arrest is possibly the worst setback for gambling prosecution in the past year or two.
mircea_popescu: threatening a honest citizen with unwarranted prosecution if he refuses to break the law will be a tough sell as good faith.

mircea_popescu: eyah, well, that may not give you the best perspective i guess.
mircea_popescu: it wouldn't surprise me if the das involved end up in jail.
mircea_popescu: nyRednek that was the most embarrasing botched conspiracy to pervert the course of justice ever
mircea_popescu: you coder people, instead of arguing with your implicit boss, should just stfu and go to work
mircea_popescu: Luke-Jr not rly. but you won't go anywhere. the model works like this because it's sound like this.
mircea_popescu: Bugpowder he's confused. there's the using banking for gambling federal thing.
mircea_popescu: nyRednek do you really think anyone cares what the us thinks about anything ?
mircea_popescu: Luke-Jr that certainty is easy to reach if you stick to people who agree with you.
mircea_popescu: Luke-Jr i don't mean the imaginary bitcoin you jack off to.
mircea_popescu: Luke-Jr pestering erik atm is the single most damaging thing that can happen to bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: nyRednek it looks the same to me too. it's what it looks like.
mircea_popescu: then that sold out, little by little, now they pay 50 ?! 60 ?
mircea_popescu: i think the problem with btc finance is that people have a crazy time curve.

mircea_popescu: Bugpowder i imagine he can't now, seeing how he wasn't there at the time and prolly doesn't have a copy.
mircea_popescu: nyRednek i don't think you're at all qualified to discuss the topic.

mircea_popescu: nyRednek only if you could convince some ambulance chaser that i'm really rich enough to take your "case" on %

mircea_popescu: if not then either... then maybe if btc goes super high
mircea_popescu: yeah. i guess if nobody sues now they might once (if ?) bfl delivers

mircea_popescu: anyone feels they were damaged by me or mpex there's the rota, he can sue
mircea_popescu: but seriously, i'm all for it, i don't see why this needs the drama attached.
mircea_popescu: all law is basically one huge technicality, for that matter.
mircea_popescu: Luke-Jr yes, well, what your standards for courtly competence are may differ from what the courts actually do.
