so how much did he actually have in actualmoney rather than bitcoins during all this? he must have been keeping most of it in autism kroners because otherwise you'd think the prosecution would be trotting out bank records to show deposits

They never owned it. They registered it through a free domain service. A free domain service willing to sell the domain out from under them to somebody willing to pay money.

They were a "news" site that was exposing the dumb poo poo paybase was doing. The same paybase run by the guy who bought half a mil in cars in the last month.

is/was there ever really a way to send someone an arbitrary set of files over bittorrent instead of what's described in the torrent file?

i thought it used hashes and stuff to make sure each part of the file was transferred correctly?

barring some really terrible client vulnerability, im guessing this is just an attempt to confuse the jury with technical jargon so they think nobody really knows what happened.

paycoin was going to be an altcoin which promised to keep a minimum price of $20 and they premined it 75% or something. they promised that they had a few million dollars in cash to do this with and that they would use their premined paycoins to refill some of their operating capital when the price got above $20. they promised they would be able to do this for a few years which would keep paycoin stable in the 20-22 dollar range over that time regardless of volume, which they claimed would be stable enough that it could be used as a giftcard service without having to worry about it as a speculative asset. to generate an initial interest, they let people buy in at the low low cost of $10/paycoin to establish a base of support for as soon as they were accepted with online retailers. somehow though instead of getting retail acceptance, the owner just paid $1M on sports cars and let paycoin collapse as an unviable business proposition after all.

Don't forget that they also sold cloud mining for paycoin that was barely profitable based on $20 a coin.

It officially launched on december 29th, and collapsed on december 31st.

Pretty successful by altcoin standards.

BurtW was recently arrested. The indictment (located by Raize):

Is there anything we can do to help him? There's a site with a donation address, though I'm a little suspicious that the site might be fake. (The arrest itself is very likely real.)
