Life in prison coming right up! Getting in first with a guilty plea is definitely worth it in the US. Watched a doc last night about Alan Stanford who ripped off mainly small investors for $8 billion. He was briefly famous for organizing a $20 million winner takes all game of 20-20 cricket in Antigua. His chief financial officer who was with him from the start, and looked after all the false accounting, fessed up first and got 5 years, Stanford got 110 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Is he actually going to be liable for the money he stole that people deposited in the Bahamas? It seems a bit like playing three card monte on the street in Barcelona then claiming you got cheated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zetterlund Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Despite the loss, I see this as getting out of jail for the seller still managing to get over $3m for it in the current market. I wouldn't be surprised if he actually does see it as making a profit, since these crypto maximalist types live in their own world where the $ price is irrelevant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I paid about $20, so anything over that would be a bonus. For anyone that's interested in investing, I bought mine on Mt Gox, which is the biggest trading platform for them on the internet. You have a bitcoin wallet, which is encrypted, and takes literally about 12 hours to load, even on a fast connection. If you want to pay someone with bitcoin I think it's done with a string of numbers and letters. There are plenty of legit websites that will take it as payment too. The last time bitcoin rose this much in value it was followed by a massive crash. Anyone wanting to invest would be wise to wait for the crash. So in 2011 you paid $20 for 1 bitcoin and you might have three of them. Didn't the price of one bitcoin end up at one point being like $60,000 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Doesn't look like he sold at the best time.. On 16/02/2014 at 13:21, RCR said: Bitcoin isn't a company, so it can't join anyone. Google could start accepting it though if that's what you mean? Right now Mt. Gox is having major problems and the price everywhere is nose diving. I sold everything I had a month back when I needed my car's air con fixed and made about 30% profit after 2 months of trading. At current prices it's tempting to jump back in, though I'd like to see Mt Gox either come back or disappear before committing to anything! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from being reminded about it there when I looked at this thread, I honestly never even think about it. Doesn't cross my mind as there's no possible scenario where I'd still have been in the game at that point. For something that originally cost me about 50 quid I reckon the longest I'd have had the balls to keep going would have been about 5 grand, and I'd have bailed there. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
