they
too young
to get
the reference : rarity was a notorious
troll in 2011
diametric: we should
try
to convince him we're all popescu
nubbins`: i guess he wrote
that in a
text editor and
then pasted it, hey?
ThickAsThieves: theyll have lambos
to unload after
they get
through all
the exchanges i guess
Duffer1: I wonder if
they need a consultant, I accept bitcoin
mircea_popescu: and im sure mpoe-pr would love nothing more
than
the equivalent of civ's "our words are backed by nuclear weapons" pasted in her sigline
mircea_popescu: not like ima send czech vixens
to pick up
the slaughters or w/e
mircea_popescu: Duffer1 yes,
the irony of
the situation is
that really,
there's a lot of work
to do
Duffer1: SEC if you're here
there's a guy named Ken Slaughter operating somewhere in
the U.S. midwest in desperate need of your attentions
ThickAsThieves: maybe a bitbet "Bitcoin Apostles Sacrificed" At least 12 Bitcoin
Talking Heads Get Charged in 2014
mircea_popescu: but anyway, speaking of glbse, did
they extradite mccarthy guy yet ?
Duffer1: from
their perspective
they might believe
they are i mean
dexX7: as self proclaimed regulator of
teh bitcoins
Duffer1: so are
they going
to offer you a job
then MP?
ThickAsThieves: although Occam forgot
to
tell me an even more likely buyer was Erik
ThickAsThieves: <dexX7> well,
tat came up with
the idea initially, if i remember correctly /// was a guess between me and Occam
mircea_popescu: that group is predicated on
the
theory of "knowing wtf is going on"
Duffer1: but even
then if
the miners disagree with
that group...
mircea_popescu: by delegating it
to
the people who knew wtf was going on.
Duffer1: i can't imagine
the amount of resources it would
take
mircea_popescu: Duffer1 sure.
the dutch managed
to regulate dutch
trade just fine
dexX7: well,
tat came up with
the idea initially, if i remember correctly
Duffer1: that's part of my question yesterday, can
there physically exist a bureaucracy capable of "regulating" bitcoin?
dexX7: "nah i won't
tell" or "nah, i was not"?
dexX7: now is
the
time
to
tell. were you
the unknown buyer of sd? ;)
mircea_popescu: being a bureaucrat is all about following a fucking script, which is exactly antithetical
to
the situation
they find
themselves in.
mircea_popescu: now
they're stuck somehow dealing with quite obvious fraud a la mtgox while somehow satisfying
the demands of patently insane eastern european dudes with no interest in
their internal problems
mircea_popescu: before
that some ny state guy is
trying
to get it licensed and
the acct office said it can't,
mircea_popescu: i imagine it's an insane fucking job right about now. in
the same day
their boss says btc is what mp says it is and some derp senator calls for its banning,
Duffer1: did blockchain buy it or is
that a partnership?
kakobrekla: but
the proceeds ended up on gox, so
there.
nubbins`: ugh, someone was chewing bubble gum
the other day and it reminded me of Jager bombs
Duffer1: why Erik
though s.dice was sold
kakobrekla: tat or MP, but we will see
that if and when SEC joins
the chan
Duffer1: i look forward
to
the SEC comedy hour, have
they set a date/time MP?
mircea_popescu: water, proably. a more awkward
thing i don't remember.
BingoBoingo: chatquack: Not very confident in
them going forward.
chatquack: I wanted
to see how
that
tennis match
turned out.
mircea_popescu: anyway,
the sec, just like any other us or non us, governmental or non governmental agency needs
to get used
to
the idea
that bitcoin is a
thing, and
they need
to work with it.
BingoBoingo: chatquack: Maybe, official story is prolongued DDoS, wouldn't be
their first
ozbot: Woman in Scotland fills out
the wrong form on
TripAdvisor. Is now ranked 87 o
mircea_popescu: you'd hope people stick with denial for
the length of
the exercise.
nubbins`: "your honor,
the prosecution cannot bear
the continued humiliation, and
therefore withdraws all charges"
nubbins`: gives you an excuse
to wear a suit
mircea_popescu: ve not been in a court for a while anyway, kinda getting
to miss it.
mircea_popescu: fraud is a crime in romania,
this wasn't
too hard
to prove really
KRS-One: o7 sturles
teh goxcoin billionaire
nubbins`: mircea_popescu:
they extradited a canadian national a couple of years ago who mailed marijuana seeds from canada
to
the usa
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform well
the hell would it have given
them up involuntarily lol
mircea_popescu: it would seem successfully prosecuting fraudsters hardly amounts
to much indication of your
theory.
nubbins`: hm, would
the verb be "intradite" in
that sense? is
that even a word?
nubbins`: anyway, point is
that if
the usa wants
to extradite someone from a foreign country and provides even a
tenuous reason for doing so,
there's no reason
to
think said country won't comply
mircea_popescu: e victim buyers by e-mail, sending fraudulent certificates of
title and other information designed
to lure
the victims into parting with
their money. Sometimes,
they pretended
to sell cars from non-existent auto dealerships in
the United States and even created phony websites for
these fictitious dealerships.
mircea_popescu: As alleged in
the indictment,
the defendants and
their co-conspirators saturated Internet marketplace websites, such as eBay.com, Cars.com, AutoTrader.com, and CycleTrader.com, with detailed advertisements for cars, motorcycles, boats, and other high-value items generally priced in
the $10,000
to $45,000 range. Unbeknownst
to
the buyers, however,
the merchandise did not exist.
The so-called sellers corresponded with
th
nubbins`: "The Bucharest Appeals Court ordered
the extraditions of Mircea, Pieptea, and Simion on February 2, 2013.
The defendants were subsequently
transported
to
the Eastern District of New York and arraigned on March 27, 2013."
ozbot: FBI —
Three Members of International Cyber Fraud Ring Extradited from Romania
to
the United States
deadweasel: lol, how do you
think romania would respond
to such?
Korbman: Duffer1:
there wasn't any explicit indication
that it was
to be private
Korbman: mike_c: seemed
that way, but
they didn't divulge much on what's going on
Duffer1: did
they ask you not
to mention anything Korbman?
mike_c: did
they seem
to be aware
that dice is no longer listed?
Duffer1: they're in for an unpleasant
time if
they
thing
their cock size will impress Mircea lol
Korbman: Duffer1: my
thoughts exactly
Duffer1: probably if
they had US customers/investors
mike_c: what did
they want
to know?
nubbins`: twist:
they're hosting
the conference
