kakobrekla: >I know what I have done is inexcusable, but please understand
the circumstances. I wanted my company
to have more money. At
the
time of doing it, I justified it
to myself by saying it was in
the best interest of
the company. But it really didn't
turn out
that way did it... I've learnt my lesson and won't be doing
that again,
that's for sure.

jurov: "Finally don't lie,
they will find out, and
they are likely
to ban you for life from entering
the U.S. ever again." oh nefario
kakobrekla: at
that point i knew
the dude was retarded really
ozbot: Bitcoin developer halted at US Customs for lack of real cash | Digital
Trends
kakobrekla: how he has a guy who will exchange
this btc for cash in
the city
jurov: you'll have
to forever avoid
travelling
to
the US
matuszed: That helps but its not going
to save you
fractal: the20year1: only with countries
that have strong US
ties......
thats why i say host
the site in a country with weak US
ties and
the SEC wont have jurisdiction imo
the20year1: I didn't
think
they even had much of a pull with
TSX
the20year1: Does
the SEC have any pull outside of
the US/
jurov: if you as an american invest anywhere,
the SEC is here
to protect you
fractal: matuszed: pretty sure if you host it in venezula, or a non-aligned country,
they wont give 2 fucks
matuszed: over something as
treivial as a btc exchange
matuszed: No nation is going
to pick a fight with
the SEC
fractal: if
the site is outside
the US and
the owner isn't american, i fail
to see what jurisdiction
the SEC has..
jurov: i wonder
too. with ukyo focusing on legal issues instead of
the site
zoinky: wonder if it could handle
the
traffic
fractal: well
thats good. someone else can open another exchange
the20year1: I'm sure
the SEC has paid plenty of attention
to it
zoinky: because MPOE is a honeypot for
the NSA
Rulother: Would you of rented it out
to outsiders? :P
the20year1: I'd of bought
the exchange from him :D
fractal: why is MPOE still running if
the others have
to shut down?????
Rulother: Burnside's lawyers are basically
telling him
to shut it down
zoinky: burnside has been iffy with legal stuff for quite awhile.. i
thought he wouldve sold
the site
tho
the20year1: Any ideas on why
they're shutting down?
jcpham: mircea_popescu is elated
to be so correct, I'm sure
jcpham: i just read
the announcement
the20year1: I'm curious why burnside didn't locate
the business, servers, site and everything in Panama and
tell anyone who
threatened legal action
to GFY
saulimus: yes, whales losing money all
the
time is fine :)
MilkyLep: Strange how
that scam accusation comes up about server seeds
then
the whale(s) keep on winning
fractal: its just insane
to see
the destruction going on for investors over
there
Scrat: hash functions are rigorously
tested for uniformity
Scrat: matuszed: nop, if HMAC_SHA512 had any bias
then it would be
thrown out
the fucking window
fractal: either he hacked
the server seed, or is
the luckeist mf on
the planet
fractal: he
took profit from 7000 BTC
to -2500 in 2-3 days
matuszed: Error in
their random value calcualtion?
Rulother: 3am est, what
the hell isn't he on
the east coast?
saulimus: yes. some people, such as me, were sleeping when all
this happened.
MilkyLep: He couldve gone about
this better, possibly freezing all
trading for 24 hours
to avoid so much panic
MilkyLep: Burnside seemed sketched when everyone panicked over
the earlier SEC scare
this summer, I
think
this is
the end.
Rulother: If I see
that I'll agree with MP
that burnside is nothing but a scammer
Rulother: I can't wait
to see "Ok guys, I worked something out we'll be ok."
MilkyLep: Im kinda bummed
the book got cleared
Rulother: I'm guessing after
the book was cleared lol
zoinky: he posted on
the forum saying he messed up and lost 10 btc
Rulother: Supposedly
the .00025 wa sa
typo?
ThickAsThieves: well i have nothing against sexchangers, i honestly have no exposure
to
them
matuszed: she only said it
to "small investors"
ThickAsThieves: even
though we decided a coiple days ago
that BTCT was def closing, and started planning,
kakobrekla: >c) Create a new exchange (can't go into details right now but
this is a possibility)
pankkake: that should be as easy as finding a bitcoin security
that isn't a scam
