greenspan_fan: if you had access
to a real pdf, why would you redact everything using illustrator?
the20year: they redacted
the 'insolvency' word
nubbins`: cazalla:
that's what a joint statement is :)
cazalla: guess
they drafted it
together
ozbot: Joint Statement Regarding
the Insolvency of MtGox | Blockchain.info
Team Blog
nubbins`: Bugpowder, so why is
this guy redacting
these "real" PDFs himself?
gx: pretty elaborate hoax
though
the20year: wonder if we could hit
the 1mb limit?
cazalla: who in
their right mind who use gox even if
they fixed everything after all
this
gx: people are gonna flock
to
their bitcoin cafe and deposit hundreds of
thousands of coins
gx: gox will be back, better
than ever
dexX7: "- New brand and services ready
to be launched (Bitcoin Cafe, ..." lol
Bugpowder: Well, I guess I don't really need
to finish my cold wallet analysis.
cazalla: i hope it's
true, great buying opp
greenspan_fan: from
the unredacted link, I
think some of
the columns literally don't add up
greenspan_fan: Top post on HN
tomorrow: How we used social media, adobe illustrator, and bitcoin in order
to destroy a rival business
dexX7: a few words of
the pdf results only
the gox paper itself on google
cazalla: i don't see someone using a premium 3 letter domain
to push a scam
cazalla: whois gox.com does show karpeles
though
Apocalyptic: <ThickAsThieves>
they are confirming
the insolvency // I feel like
they are
greenspan_fan: and, fwiw,
the whole shitstorm started with
the guy posting a link
to his own
tumblr on reddit
greenspan_fan: the biggest coinbase booster somehow stumbles onto documents pertaining
to
the demise of coinbase's biggest rival
the20year: i got kicked from #bitcoin for posting
that
nubbins`: as is
the "we are a bunch of cunts who shouldn't be in business" line
greenspan_fan: of course,
the rebranding as "gox.com" is hilarious,
too
nubbins`: actually in osx preview it's not even black but
translucent grey
greenspan_fan: when it should go into detail about
the whole "not going bankrupt and not going
to jail" plan
dexX7: the black on
the
text is simply a comment, you can delete it or set
the
transparency
to 0
the20year: where is
this redacted balance sheet from?
greenspan_fan: yeah. I will further speculate
that it's his hoax, because
the slide deck is all about social media and assorted bullshit
nubbins`: hahahahahah what a fucking rube, you can just highlight
the goddamn redacted
text
greenspan_fan: meanwhile, every exchange is down 20% while
the dude's launching some kind of btc venture fund
greenspan_fan: alas and alack, he's not blatantly asking for
tips somewhere
greenspan_fan: I am
trying
to find a btc address
to see if he's dumb enough
to be buying massively after releasing damaging news
ThickAsThieves: “I am livid, just like so many of you,” wrote Ryan Selkis, who publishes
the “Two-Bit Idiot” daily newsletter. “For
them
to backdoor
their users like
this on Bitcoin makes me want
to start an uprising. (I
think others may have already started it
though.)”
nubbins`: so either
this guy fabricated
the whole
thing
nubbins`: "...Ryan Selkis wrote in his
Two-Bit Idiot newsletter"
nubbins`: "...wrote Ryan Selkis, who publishes
the “Two-Bit Idiot” daily newsletter"
Apocalyptic: the funny
thing is
that
the halt was after
the doc got released
dexX7: yea, but is
thsi
the guy from
the stupid blog?
nubbins`: aka
the guy whose
tumblr blog
this story came from.
dexX7: at least his name is bound
to
the note
dexX7: blacked out
the numbers
the20year: alot of people are assuming alot of
things
greenspan_fan: another possibility is
that
the pdf is substantially accurate, but still fabricated
nubbins`: eeeee,
ton of deprecated method calls
nubbins`: who
the fuck would put a sentence like
that in an internal memo?
nubbins`: "The reality is
that MtGox can go bankrupt at any moment, and certainly deserves
to as a company"
greenspan_fan: or
there really is a consulting firm as lousy as mt gox is an exchange
nubbins`: they did
this by changing
the background color
to black in a Word doc.
nubbins`: there was an occasion a few years ago here where some government department decided
to redact
their own docs
dexX7: did you really consider
this could be real? =D
nubbins`: i want
to download it, it's asking me
to log in
nubbins`: someone paste a dropbox link etc
to
that pdf?
nubbins`: ugh, i don't want
to sign up for a scribd account
greenspan_fan: but on
the other,
this would be
the finest example of internet
trolling meets market manipulation in recent memory
greenspan_fan: yeah, a guy on hacker news suggests
that
the redacted slide is visible using illustrator
ozbot: scottansan comments on Copy of
the alleged MtGox-Situation-Crisis-Strategy-Draft
nubbins`: CS still compiling... occasional bouts of panic until i realize
