locksmith: I haven't called scam. all I'm saying is
that
they got
to a point where
they can't pay back
their creditors. i.e.
they owe over 150,000 euros
to
their marketing/pr firm
Telia & Pavla BBDO
antephialtic: regardless of
the
tradeing being stopped, surely a competent/engaged CEO would have issued a statement
to reassure investors?
antephialtic: and MP,
that explains
the
trading freeze, not
the disappearance of
the CEO
mircea_popescu: antephialtic i dunno
that scam was ever seriously argued other
than as a
technicality.
antephialtic: locksmith, seems like a very elaborate scam, no? why not just steal all
the money after
the IPO, why go
to all
the
trouble of building a storefront and advertising, etc.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves locksmith
these
things seem a little contradictory.
ozbot: BitBet - And
Then
There Was One
locksmith: I'm an uninvolved observer as well but have 2 individual sources within Neo.
the hard
truth is
that for
the past week
the employees could not get ahold of DB, and
their paychecks will probably not be met for
the month of March (they haven't been paid yet from what I know)
ThickAsThieves: Neo compliance officer did make a formal recommendation
to halt
VanCleef: i
think havelock will close down sometime
this year
mircea_popescu: havelock is under a lot of pressure because all
their scammy assets are
turning into a visible loss, so rather
than man up
to it
they prefer
to simply close
trading as
the bubbles pop.
mircea_popescu: antephialtic my own
theory, as a completely uninvolved observer, is
this :
mircea_popescu: locksmith hopefully
they don't keep on with
this or else maged might ban newsit.com.cy
locksmith: and
then just
translates bits and pieces from
the coindesk article
locksmith: also
the article goes on and on wondering how many people danny
took money from
antephialtic: TaT: do you actually know why
the shares stopped
trading?
novusordo: "Coinbase provides your full
transaction history
to
the FBI, FinCEN and IRS every day.
They are under a gag order."
locksmith: they're saying
that
them (newsit.com,cy) as well as Politis newspaper
tried
to contact
the company and could not get ahodl of
them
mircea_popescu: wouldn't it be ironic if neobee ends up getting more press for free now
than
they got back when
they were paying for it ?
ozbot: imgur:
the simple imgur blog
locksmith: -
trading of company's stock halted
locksmith: title: "NeoBee ceo nowhere
to be found"
locksmith: just read
the article as well, I can
translate it for anyone interested
nubbins`: better stop clicking links
then
mircea_popescu: mircea_popescu: makes nubbins`
that's : being, obvious answer sausages" "because
the what
mircea_popescu: the obvious answer being, "because
that's what nubbins` makes : sausages"
ozbot: JK (jon_keefe) on
Twitter
mircea_popescu: nubbins` do you have a @twitter or
too hipster for
THAT
too, in adition
to atc ?
nubbins`: TBH "bitcoin is here
to cum" might be my favourite
mircea_popescu: nubbins` no, more like "if you
throw
this
the op feels like an idiot"
mircea_popescu: sooo.... someone just sent a 2btc donation
to mah
trilema credits address ?
antephialtic: and as a form of social engineering
to make
the capital markets more stable
antephialtic: because old people who vote
tend
to buy and hold over
the long
term. but uncle sam wants some of
those sweet profits from
the prop
traders on wall street
nubbins`: you are [an idiot/wasting my
time/first against
the wall when i am king]
ThickAsThieves: wow i
thought youd have
the usual make-me-feel-like-an-idiot answer
antephialtic: as you said, its
to incentivize long
term investment over short
term speculation
mircea_popescu: ie, some nonsense both sides were
too
tired and
too
tied down other places
to argue
mircea_popescu: my own guess would be
that it's one of
those quirks
that end up in legislation of dual party systems
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves you really must ask a
tax accountant
that.
ThickAsThieves: i assume it's
to promote longer
terms of invetsment, but is
that
to benefit
the dollar itself, or
to promote longer-term invetsments in
the economy of
the country?
ThickAsThieves: question, why are US capital gains
tax
tiers gated by
the one-year
term? and is it appropriate
to apply such
to bitcoin under
those reasons.
moiety: ThickAsThieves: i
thought as much because of
the emails and
the fact all
the amounts were so stupidly high
jurov: the illustrations with
the birds...
ozbot: Hyper Speed Vertical
Train Hub proposed for New York and London | Mail Online
cazalla: "Bitcoiners prefer finance and kindles
to sex"
cazalla: VanCleef: I googled
that - chinese bitcoiners executed, first result is a laugh
VanCleef: well 10 chinese bitcoiners did get executed
today by
the chinese gov, i don't
think
they're laughing
ThickAsThieves: the point of April Fools is for
the
target
to
think it's real
ThickAsThieves: they were so scared people would
think it was real
they put hack in
the subject of
the email
mircea_popescu: there's a reason we don't
trust
the bitcoin scam foundation bunch.
cazalla: maybe someone is just
taking advantage of
the leaked emails
to spread more bullshit
VanCleef: thats pretty messed up if
true
cazalla: "Coinbase provides your full
transaction history
to
the FBI, FinCEN and IRS every day.
They are under a gag order."
jurov: i received exactly
the
text i pasted (minus
the
trailing LOLOLOL)
moiety: tweeter? i havent been
today yet
mircea_popescu: twitter's been going pretty nuts over my repaste
there.
moiety: i dont use coinbase lol someone showed me what
they got
moiety: i
thought it was an april fools
thing because of
the ridiculously high numbers
mircea_popescu: it is a scam, obviously. it's not without coinbase's involvement
tho, which is what i mean. htey're using
the same infrastructure a legit merchant would be using.
jurov: Click here
to sign in and complete
this payment LOLOLOLOL
jurov: ⚠ URGENT: Сoinbase hacked. We just sent you a request
to pay 999999.99999999 BTC (worth €354,414,446.99 EUR) using Coinbase.
mircea_popescu: ColdHardMetal always a risky proposition, bitcoin divestment for fiat. who knows, maybe in a decade i live
to regret it :p
pLambert: Isn't
that how you get rich, byy acting like scrooge? ;)
mircea_popescu: what am i going
to do, run mr scrooge's offices over here ?
pLambert: does she still get paid even
though she got banned?
mircea_popescu: antephialtic no, it's much more like
the judge allowing
the
two unkempt youths fuck his
teenaged daughter in exchange of not having his car all scratched up.
chetty: Kerry want
to claim he made mideast peace
antephialtic: this is analogous
to
the judge allowing Charlie Shrem
to bang his daughter in exchange for him accepting a plea bargain
