 3 2015-03-31 02:32:31 <benjamindees> So now it's official that US Federal agents are extorting Bitcoin holders.
 4 2015-03-31 02:33:23 <benjamindees> And impersonating people on Bitcoin-related websites.
 5 2015-03-31 02:34:14 <benjamindees> And it's official that the DPR/SR trial was a sham.  As I said from the very beginning.
 6 2015-03-31 02:35:02 <copumpkin> hearn needs to fix his connection :)
 7 2015-03-31 02:42:18 <benjamindees> And of course the quislings at the "Satoshi Nakamoto Institute" are well-prepared with a limited hangout -- repeating what will no doubt become the official line, that this was the result of just a few "bad apples" who were irresistibly tempted by the siren call of Bitcoin.
 8 2015-03-31 02:47:52 <satwo> benjamindees: calling those guys "quislings" sounds a bit over the top.
 9 2015-03-31 02:48:40 <benjamindees> We'll see.  It may be a stretch, but I'm right more often than not.
10 2015-03-31 02:50:56 <benjamindees> And, to top it all off, now there's a convenient excuse for scuttling Mt. Gox -- that the Fed agent in question sent his proceeds there in Jan 2013.
11 2015-03-31 02:51:22 <satwo> Yes, that is something that is probably on many people's minds right now...

16 2015-03-31 02:52:46 <benjamindees> sipa, no, I think it's time that developers acknowledge the obvious, instead of continuing to pretend that the US government is our friends.
17 2015-03-31 02:53:13 <benjamindees> lol Jeff
18 2015-03-31 02:53:43 <sipa> benjamindees: developers acknowkedging it or ot, this is off topic here.
19 2015-03-31 02:55:25 <sipa> this is about development; not about political opinions (of developers or others)
20 2015-03-31 02:56:18 <sipa> you're welcome to discuss technical improvements
