"The superfluous, a very necessary thing"

EL BROMANCE posted:

before the fed got involved, it feels like we shouldve been cheering on bfl in their quest to separate idiot bitcoiners from their money

same with pirateat40 and all the other scammers and thieves that make following bitcoin worthwhile due to the nonstop posts of people begging for their coins back after someone emptied their wallets

hell even karpales gets my seal of approval for managing to steal/gently caress up to such a magnificent degree

all these people deserve 'achievements in bitcoin' awards, which should be handed down by law enforcement as appropriate

all these people are actually gov agents trying to discredit bitcoin! how else do you think they get "caught"

in some ways we kind of were? i remember when buttfly labs launched and announced preorders for their first product the initial response was a celebratory "lmao look at this scam"

that said, while i have taken much pleasure from pirateat40's scam, i have also greatly enjoyed his own incompetent legal "defence" :wotwot:

You missed the best part: Tibbaine Co. Ltd has taken the position that the loan "was not intended to be repaid" according to the Trustee's report which is the reason they're refusing to pay it back (also disputing the amount, but that's not as hilarious).

literally just change the last letter of this to an e

i had given karpeles the benefit of the doubt and assumed that "tibanne" was some actual french word and star wars ripped it off but nope, he literally named his company and cat after star wars space gas

(i remembered that from a star wars book that i got from the library when i was like 6, don't think i'm some kind of star wars nerd for knowing this)

(i obviously am a nerd regardless)

when can we tell rbitcoin that buttcoin is actually a false flag set up by the Bitcoin foundation to upset the Bitcoin community and get them to rally around the centralized and corrupt foundation?

and rbitcoin got that name because it sounds a bit like ribbitcoin which is a reference to :frogout: and rassah is actually lowtaxs sockpuppet?
