Then you really have proven Russian right. It says that they were contacted by Facebook owners (former employees) looking for liquidity. I imagine that they gave them liquidity at a huge discount.

I was quoting the links you provided or the corporate links which were within the links you provided. Are you now saying your links contained incorrect information? Is there any more incorrect information you've provided us which we should ignore?

come on dude, you can't be that stupid, can you?
Facebook was a "distressed asset" pre-IPO?

It's the same concept. Someone was looking for liquidity. And that market likely bought it for a song. I don't think it's distressed but the concept was buy below value and sell above that for a profit.
ETA: the same thing happened this year in the REIT market. No liquidity but users wanted out. Tons of companies opened up to buy those REITS for a song

"Wow, so much going on the markets right now"
"Fiscal policy is in shambles and Obama himself saying monetary policy is taking the market's burden entirely"
"Italian politics have had a roller coaster the past couple days"
"Japan raises consumption taxes for the first time in two decades and the second time EVER"
"Let me go over and look at Money Talk, I'm sure there are some interesting discussions going on."

Benny, it looks like wiki is needing another of your finance lessons like you gave him on currency pricing procedures a few months ago. You remember the one, where he disappeared completely for weeks after you schooled him on currency exchange operations and pricing after he made of fool of himself making up his own version of how currency exchanges set their bid/ask prices.

I have to admit that I'm not well-versed enough in high-level finance to offer you a meaningful discussion, but I'll read the shite out of whatever you write.

Honestly, I have almost the exact same thoughts on BTC as boosie posted on the previous page:
I really like the technology, it's interesting and beautiful in its simplicity. I just don't see any possible way that crypto currency will be accepted as widely as is implied by the supporters in its current form.

I recall telling you one of the vulnerabilities to the anonymous use of Bitcoins are the access and egress points of the Tor network. Well the feds hit a home run, and got them for one user. Identifying DPR is just the tip of the ice berg, and they will now have fixed points from which to track everything that hit the Silk Road server. The feds will be able to analyze traffic to and from the server for Silk Road, and hone in on every user they wish. This includes all of their Bitcoin transactions. I expect we will be reading about the feds seizing large numbers of Bitcoins from persons who were conducting illegal activities on the Silk Road.
When do you think the feds actually identified DPR, and how long have they been monitoring Silk Road and gathering usable information about the user of Silk Road? I'd be willing to bet is has been for more than one year. The NSA, and law enforcement agencies, will be busy for quite some time analyzing all of the information they will have gathered from the Silk Road server.

and they didn't use those to identify him at all.
they identified him because he was a dumbass and used a screen name early on to promote SR that was also associated with his real name on other forums
so, once again, Poodlebrain rambles on about technology when he really has absolutely no understanding of what he is talking about

Are you saying he previously used as his screen name his first name plus his initials and used that screen name across many forums and social media sites?
Who would be so stupid to do something like that?

I guess, kinda.. But I don't think all that you think was compromised, was actually compromised.
SR never had a record of the sellers (names, addresses). a few may get popped if they have incriminating evidence in their SR inbox, but most will be able to move their biz to BMR and continue with just a small hiccup in their life.
Buyers had more risk
in this business model than sellers, and the reputable sellers were beasts from what I hear. "Beasts" in that their usernames are like brand names in the underground market. Just using their usernames on whatever new market they choose will bring their legions of buyers back to them.

I've been lurking the bitcoin threads for a while and this is perfectly said
