Isn't It Ironic: Mt.Gox Hacker Demands Ransom From Exchange Users To Not Reveal Their Personal Data
The bankruptcy of the once largest Bitcoin exchange may be history, but now the real drama begins.
First, over the weekend, allegations surfaced that not the whole truth may have been revealed during the heartfelt announcement by Mt. Gox CEO, Mark Karpeles, who claimed that $400 million in Bitcoin were stolen by hackers. As Forbes reported, hackers took over the Reddit account and personal blog of Mark Karpeles, to reveal that the exchange he ran had actually kept at least some of the bitcoins that the company had said were stolen from users.
"It’s time that MTGOX got the bitcoin communities wrath instead of [the] Bitcoin Community getting Goxed,” wrote the unidentified hackers, referring to the multiple occasions over its three year history when Mt. Gox has gone offline, delayed trades or suspended withdrawals, events so common that Bitcoin users coined the phrase to be “goxed”–to suffer from Mt. Gox’s technical glitches.
In addition to merely allege, however, the hackers provided proof:
The hackers also posted a 716 megabyte file to Karpeles’ personal website that they said comprised stolen data from Mt. Gox’s servers. It appears to include an Excel spreadsheet of over a million trades, a file that purports to show the company’s balances in eighteen difference currencies, the backoffice application for some sort of administrative access to the databases of Mt. Gox’s parent company Tibanne Limited, a screenshot of the hackers’ access to those databases, a list of Mark Karpeles’ home addresses and Karpeles’ personal CV.
In the hackers’ summary of Mt. Gox’s balances in various currencies, they point to a claimed balance of 951,116 bitcoins, which they take as evidence that Mark Karpeles’ claim to have lost users’ digital currency to hackers is fraudulent. “That fat fuck has been lying!!” a note in the file reads.
It remains unclear at this early stage in the MtGox bankruptcy if indeed Karpeles ended up Madoffing some or all of the Bitcoin entrusted to him: Forbes notes that "the Bitcoin community has been puzzled by the apparent lack of movement of Mt. Gox’s bitcoins since the company declared bankruptcy last month. Despite stating that it lost 850,000 bitcoins in total in its bankruptcy filing, Bitcoin experts haven’t seen the movement of those coins in the Bitcoin blockchain, the public ledger of transactions that prevents fraud and forgery in the Bitcoin economy."
But second, and far more important, "a user on the BitcoinTalk forum posted a message–since deleted by the forum’s moderators–claiming to be offering for sale a 20 gigabyte stolen database from Mt. Gox, including the personal details of all its users and even scans of their passports. “This document will never be elsewhere published by us,” wrote the user, who went by the name nanashi____. “Selling it one or two times to make up personal loses from gox closure.” The hacker asked for a price of 100 bitcoins for the database, about $63,600 at current exchange rates."
An updated announcement by user "nanashi" can be found in the following pastebin, in which he explains just how much it will cost naive Bitcoin traders to retain their anonymity. The price to put this entire gruesome episide behind them: 0.25 bitcoin, or a little over $150.
Mt. Gox database sale: steps to remove yourself from dump before sales.
Most around here know we are selling gox customer info. Many have contact us requesting to pay to have their data removed before we sell. We are doing this for a cost of 0.25 BTC per person removed. We have already sold and release 20% of data to 2 buyers, so if you are apart of that it's too late for you.
We are release the rest of this data to our buyers sometime this week, so after that happens it is too late for everyone who has not been removed already.
1) Email nanashi___@freemail.hu with the email you used with mtgox.
2) I will check file already sold, if you are not part of that I will send you unique bitcoin address. If you don't get response it means your data has already been sold in first batch or we have finalized sale of all data.
3) After you have sent .25 bitcoin payment, email us again to inform us of this.
4) Thats all, we will delete your personal data and passport scan from all copies of database.
DO NOT email asking to do this for cheaper unless you are doing 10+ accounts at once. Also do not email us asking to confirm what information we have about you. If gox had it, we have it, and as you can read on boards we have confirmed possession of this dump for many people. We let you use our same email for this as all other gox hack communication so you know we are same people. Doing this things will cause us to ignore all further message from you.
nanashi
And to think - the whole point of Bitcoin once upon a time (long, long ago) was to preserve the anonymity of the users... Oh, and the "money" was safe and unhackable...

Why moron? fonestar never used Gox.
I feel all itchy and scratchy today. Bastards.

Next thing, block chain. Who did what and when, and an eternity to find out...
No evil state controlling anything. Libertarians paradise.
Hey at least this shit is getting stolen out in the open, where we can see it.
Or you can get it stolen 3% per year, every year, until its all gone.
Did you see that Akak apparently has been banned? http://www.zerohedge.com/users/akak
I never understood why Bank Guy From Brussels got axed.
I didn't realize he got banned.
a couple of months ago
Any idea the bullshit reason given for said banning?
fonestar.
Are you actually chained to a computer or have you just lost your sense of self to the point where you do this?
Ha! Maybe now we'll get to find out what porn websites phoney-star frequents!
Because that's surely the only life he has away from ZH. How sad...
My, my... look at all the shitoshi here. It's enough to make a virtual man cry.
A virtual man, indeed.
I thought fonesex was safe even without a condom.
Bank Guy from Brussels is gone?
Without doubt that poster was a player and knew some serious shit.
$1 = 1 satoshi
Seems like everyone is just jealous. During 100 fold price increase last year, the only thing that got attention was Fonestar's hype.
It's like advice from a goldbug that you just didn't take.
Who would've thought... it figures
Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you.
And isn't it ironic...don't you think.
People can TELL YOU, anything.
Kind of ironic that the whole reason behind Bitcoin was anonymity. If a hacker knows all of this shit, you can bet your friendly .gov does too.
Pretty sure if you buy a bitcoin your DNA map is instantly on file with the NSA.
The whole reason was decentralization, not anonymity. You wouldn't have a public block chain if you wanted anonymity, but then of course you wouldn't have decentralization if you didn't. You can have decentralization or some degree of privacy, not both.
BTC/XAU chart has made me dump gold positions 2 years ago and put it into btc. Can't complain. Now I have 3 times more gold than 2 years ago, and much more $.
Relevant quote:
If your bitcoins get stolen, you're out of luck. What's more, if your bitcoins get stolen, the cops aren't going to go after the bad guys. In fact, it's not even clear that, if the bad guys confessed to the theft the next day that it would be possible to prosecute them... If you can steal seven percent of the total circulation of a currency with total impunity, then that currency will always represent an intolerable security risk for most people.
The speculators [Fonebone] may not realize it yet, but you can stick a fork in bitcoin. It's done.

Why has fonestar never been hacked? Is it possible he is not as dumb as some of these Gox users and posters here?
My sentiments exactly! I usually NEVER downvote anyone, but tonight is an exception. I never have seen any member here be so mother fucking negative and insulting to the entire community. Tyler, if you're reading this, please get rid of this cocksucker. I mean seriously, this place is awesome and I love coming here and reading the news, and of course the comments, but this guy is outta control. I know its fucking fight club and all, but Jesus Harold Christ, there has got to be a limit, hasn't there?
(shaking my head wondering how someone like this lives with themself)
You must be a really lonely, negative prick in real life dicksmack fonestar whatever.... Thats for damn sure.
The first rule of Fight Club: don't be racist.
fonestar reported them to the VHDL.
The first rule of Fight Club: don't be racist.
really??? 'cause a lot of Obama comments seem to mention his color (raised all-white btw) like it matters.
I think banning requires a special talent - hopefully Tylers can at least ban .gov computers - frankly it seems better lately than a couple of months' ago, troll-wise.
re: phonestar - put anything to do with BTC and he's there, always, relentlessly. Guy lives in his mom's basement? He's neither funny nor ironic nor insightful. Can't one be banned for uselessness?
fonestar has contributed more to this community than the lot of you ever will dipshit.
Yes, and a great steaming pile it is too.
@Caustixoid
Seriously man, you believe this??? It's a lot lot WORSE imho. The place practically crawls with Putin fans and Bitcornholes like dickless FoneBone. At least MDB gives us an occasional laff but gone are the days of Harry Wanger (replaced with numerous knockoffs that people even treat as the 'original' nowadays) and there's far too much of this faux racism claptrap spread by pseudoliberals as disinfo cover.
Place has gone to the PC police.
It is worse. And good people are leaving voluntarily, cancelling their accounts. Ponder the implications of that.
I already did. And although I don't come out with the sharpest analysis in the filecupboard - I felt like doing the same as them.
But that just lets them "win" and that would be counterproductive. This had all the previously mentioned hallmarks of a professional hit as previously outlined by one of the Durdens. There were more posters wanting to gag on Putin's dick than made any sense. At the time - Crimea was being occupied and the new UKR guv dissed. And it came about 2 weeks after the "infiltration post" by TD.
In four days Russia gets its way
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-03-11/diplomacy-fails-ukraine-putin-r...
I'm of the opinion that some here were more than shocked to realise the magnitude of what was underway. I hope they come back in one incarnation or another, but that's probably naïve thinking.
They're outta here. We're not. Now let's get this pimpledick Phoney out of our faces...
I mentioned elsewhere that maybe we should take a page from fonestar and vd's playbook and start reporting his posts as abusive. Maybe we can play the get-people-banned game. I hate to do crap like that but it's getting hard to talk about anything but him on a lot of threads. Now that he and VD are bragging about getting people banned, nobody knows where they stand.
Sure we know where we stand. It can't be rayciss to go after the rays of Trolls bc there is no race of trolls. I stipulate that any huumaan (Ferengispeak) who throws in with the trollbrigade loses his huumaanity and thereby his right to be treated as a webizen...and therefore his a/c should be proscribed.
(How about it TD?)
So why are any of you on a Bitcoin thread if you don't want to experience the raging Bitcoin zealotry?
Some enjoy watching the "raging zealotry" alienate people who might have been interested in crypto but who won't go near it now thanks to you.
fonestar, you are such a douchebag ! Get a life.
Foneystar,
your contributions are shit
your complicity in gox ain't a hit
you're an idiot dude
and terribly rude
and your IQ don't equal a byte.
If you got Akak kacked, all I have to say is Fuck You, you neotard worthless moron.
Can't take the RSBT eh? The algo trading of ZH commentary.
I've got it! You and your venereal disease friend are actually Dianne Feinstein's little turdbots, hidden deeply in the Utah NSA servers where nobody can see you...too bad they can "hear" you. You and VD are just digital smegma. Go ban yourselves, shifferbrains.
akak and i believe dick cheney's ghost along with f_s were banned for good reason....
So you and fonestar are the morality cops on ZH now?
please refer to ZH's very own Notice on Racial Discrimination.
We've all read it. So, do you have a badge that says "Official ZH Minister of Decency and Compliance"?
this is a community. and just because 'all' or some read it, didn't mean that they abided by or complied with it. get it?
Get what? I see that you like being a tattletale, a snitch, and to what end? Who do you serve vastdom?
Ah yes... "A community"
~~~
Where you start off as FIGHT CLUB & slowly devolve into THE Drudge Report... Your [D]evolution is then hastened by invaluable purification techniques and progresses thru MSNBC-CNBC~dom, & GOOD MORNING AMERICA, until one day you wake up & find yourself in THE VIEW, with V'Whoopi Goldberg'D as ringleader...
At that point it becomes a 'subscription' service ~ whereby the annual fee is payable only in bitcoins...
Because... [insert Obama metaphor here]
Congratulations! You've finally made it to the big time!
+1 for V'Whoopi Goldberg'D
I thought this was fight club. To be banned from fight club all you have to do is speak negatively of another race? I hope I don't get banned for this comment.
So what did he say that deserved banning?
He was slagging off Satoshi for being a jap.
Seriously? Japanese are a protected class on the internet now? Please post the post.
The Japanese are an endangered species ever since Fukushima asshole. fonestar has taken in seventeen of them so far and knitted them sweaters.
"deserved banning"?

See what you did there?... You fell into the TRAP...
These are two words that should not collide in the same sentence in any "community" that considers itself free thinkers...
They only collide in facist & statist regimes... But what the heck I suppose... This page is full of click ads for HealthCare.gov [not kidding]...

Far too many pseudoliberal fucktards trying to bullshit their propaganda here - especially with the 'racist' label as pseudomoral camoflage.
Newsflash to said trollgroup: Most onlookers who are non-US look on this seemingly eternal "racism play" as a non sequiteur. Most civilised inhabitants of the rest of the world don't understand how the subject keeps on cropping up in the US with such regularity, for them it's a non-issue ..
Propagandization.
[Use something like AdBlock for the other propaganda HB]
Well in different parts of the world racism is alive and well. The trick is you have to realize that the term and ideal of racism was created by elitist to sell their explotation of other countries around the world to the populace back home, the package they sold was called colonism. It was good money, great money! So good that Britian had to get back into it.
"It's always business, never personal." --Nino Brown
It is better to argue and state your case than to report. Silencing critics is exactly the opposite of the concept of this place, or so I thought. Shouting at, that's just arguing louder is all. You get lots of red but then again, what's the prize anyway?
-----
It is good this Gox/Bitcoin shakedown is happening now. If the charade had carried on longer more people would be caught up in it.
Bitcoin is not Gox. Has nothing to do with Gox. Bitcoin is fine. Your lies are powerless.
fonestar and VD both wear a virtual taser and a badge.
i'm a free agent in the FC and as such not on your team nor anyone else's: we're all Tyler here and i don't need a fukn taser or a badge. thx tho.
No problem.
Thank-you for chosing fonestar.
u got it :)
There are sides? There are teams? Well that explains a lot.
Fucking fascist!!
How is it all of the great contributors to the site get banned but the fucking thought police with negative contribution get more and more presence...??!!??
tyler(s) et al....is this really the site you want?! I would recommend that you review your T&C's closely as this trend is only getting worse...ZH's days, like many others we see in the world today any coming to a close and quickly.
"How is it all of the great contributors to the site get banned but the fucking thought police with negative contribution get more and more presence...??!!??"
~~~
I ask myself the same question [albeit ~ only in a 'rhetorical' manner ~ cause I know the answer]...
Yup, going from "anything goes" to ZERO tolerance is too big of a leap. Fucking give people a few warnings or something, Jesus.
If they proceed with reckless abandon in the face of the rules, then ban them. Trav's racism deserved banishment because it was his central thesis and just wouldn't fucking shut up about it. Simply BEING a racist shouldn't get you banned. Promoting it in an off topic manner and attacking others based on their race on an ongoing basis should.
Come on over to gunsgrubandgold.com we don't ban and free speech 24/7... Hope to see you...
no-what you need is a nice warm aqua regia enema.
While I agree that there are some true racist pigs who post on this site (and others), the community invariable calls them out. Akak, at the very least, was one of our more insightful members. Nobody enjoys taking down racial bias more than me, but censoring the discussion by throwing members out is the work of the SS, not contributing, thinking participants.
The intellectual sum of your contributions, compared to Akak, or even JCnBalls, who i generally enjoy detesting, is deep in the negative imaginary numbers - eg: shit.
So once again, fuck you both.
By the way, I have NEVER considered Akak's posts to be racist, for the Tyler record.

this is becoming very sad. everything that made ZH important and valueable is quickly dissolving. i hope somehow the real ZH reappears somewhere on an other site. it reminds me of hypatia's battle to keep freedom of thought alive and well in her battle with the zealots. please, Tylers, banning thought is totally counter to the premise of ZH, please, reconsider and continue to help us maintain one world where thought, ideas and discussion freely flow.
"fonestar and VD both wear women's underwear"
fixed it 4 u
You give fonestar 1 BTC and you can call him Bitsie for the night.
How about some ArsCoins so you can give yer mom a fancy hat?
BitHo!!!
Really? I thought this was fight club. Oh I see...
I composed what I thought to be a thoughtful justification for my downvote. However, simpler’s always better…
You’re a self-important, rat-snitch pussy
For explanation of my (many) future downvotes, see above.
Bank guy from Brussels is gone? Aww shit. He was always posting the most interesting links (that I questioned often, but nevertheless they were interesting) that offered contrarian views which were well researched. WTF? He and I had differing opinions on Snowden, but I still respected his views because I don't think he ever knowingly posted false info. I hope he comes back.
Video published today of Conan having at bitcoin http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vd19SboRhVY. It was meh but gives you an idea of what Joe six pack thinks about this crypto-wonder.
Joe six pack is a mental reject. Screw him and his family. We need a new tech savvy world that is not scared to dream new dreams.
Like the Bolsheviks? that turned out well. You've fallen in love with the theory while ignoring the reality it must operate in, which is very much Joe six pack. It's a clever idea, not the messiah.
The world is not filled with Joe six packs. Just certain parts of 'muhrika.
Joe six pack is a fucking renaissance man compared to what the average global citizen amounts to. Lets assume for a moment that the premise is true that bitcoin is everything you say it is. Why then do you have to expend so much energy arguing it's merits? The failure of the concept lies not in the theory itself, but with the end user. Bitcoin does not posses the power to change human nature. But without the human intellectual element, bitcoin is just an isolated idea and will remain inert.
The perks of bitcoin are said to be what? incorruptibility? decentralization? anonymity? which is great, but until there is change in the general conciousness in the human element that reflects those ideas, bitcoin will never be any of those things. A tool can be perfect, but in the end it is a tool and subject to the will of the one wielding it, and in the end bitcoin is a tool.
The reason Gold works so well isn't because it has intrinsic value, no counterparty risk or scarcity. It is because where bitcoin bets on the general triumph of human logic and intellect (a shaky prospect), gold bets on the certainty of human greed and base nature. They appear similar, but in fact represent complete oppisites.
The appeal of bitcoin is the circumvention of government and banks. No oversight, no regulations, no taxes, no fees. It's simply merchants selling and consumers buying without any unwanted third party being involved. That's the beauty. That's how you starve the statist corporatist bankster beast to death. That's all that joe six pack needs to grasp. Nothing else.
As to the value issue, who's to say that bc won't be backed by gold one day?
"who's to say that bc won't be backed by gold one day?"
That comment makes me wonder if you know what you're talking about. (gold backed bc, not bc itself)
If that were really the issue, wouldn't Joe Six-pack just use cash? But there he is using debit and credit cards for everything. And EBT cards.
For quite possibly the millionth time, replace "bitcoin" with "gold" and re-read your post.
If gold is so great, why do we have to expend so much energy defending it? Why can't you give it away for free on the street?
Defending it? They have to expend a shit ton of energy and time keeping the price down! Switching the terms of the argument made it make no sense...I'm not sure what the point of that was. Look, the distinction most people miss is the pychologial motivation at work behind the two ideas. Gold will not always be the best investment, I'm not arguing that. I'm saying that in the current enviroment it's the best we can do. People burned by paper assets are going to be reactionary, not logical about it. They are not going to sit around and logically think about the math behind bitcoin that makes it is so safe, they are going to drop anything that they can't physically possess.
Gold is inherently valuable because people understand it on a fundamental level! The collective consious assosiates gold with safety and a store of wealth in the same way we understand water is wet. It doesn't have to be taught because it has been a part of our culture since people figured out agriculture was the way to go. As an added bonus it's scarcity is dervied from nature, not a constructed mathmatical abstract.
Bitcoin is an amazing concept and I can see the appeal logically, but in the end my faith in bitcoin isn't based on that concept is it? My faith in bitcoin is based on my fellow mans ability to understand that concept. That means in the event of a crisis I have to believe that the mass of people will remain calm, cool, and logical. That they will see that the intangible nature of bitcoin is different than the intangible nature of all other paper assets which have just burned them... in essense I have to count on the masses not panicing, running for the exits, or getting tulip mania and pumping up the damn thing because they don't understand it!
Gold is betting on the lower functioning abilities of the brain that run off of fear and greed. Bitcoin is a bet on the more developed areas of logic and reasoning. I can safely make that bet either way on a person to person basis, but when it comes to people in general? I'll take former everytime.
technology is the only thing that separates from barbarians to civilized people.
gold became barbaric relic when fiat backed by guns came about
reserve notes became relic when digital currency backed by internet came about
just like napster, the gates are already open. just a matter of time. heck, most of the money already is zeros and ones already!
YHC-FTSE
i agree. a major Aww Shit. and for the others banned as well.
fwiw, his last post states he was going request that his account be deleted. That sucks.
Maybe fonestar flagging his and LennonHendrix's + Francis Sawyer's comments helped the process along?
Your enthusiasm over this reminds me of the kids in 1984 who turn in their parents for thought-crime.
We're all half-crazy just for being here — yourself included — and if the folks who run ZH want to toss certain people for whatever reason, that's their right. But it should be up to them. We don't need a bunch of people whining about being offended or getting their fucking feelings hurt.
fonestar does not have feelings. He is a virtual character managed by PAL.
Full retard - - never go full retard.
Are you Jewish?
No, fonestar is managed by a hoser.
Part of the Virtual Hoser Defamation League.
Script or paid employee, he's a bot.
Are there Jewish bots?
What is to be gained man? Seriously if you want to advocate bitcoin, go for it, shit be an asshole about it if you want, but for the love of god/satoshi/devil whatever stop spaming the comment section with this nonsense. I don't mind a little dissent or heated debate, but you ruin it and your point by going out of your way to be obnoxious without purpose. You're like a small scale natural disaster let loose on the comment section, nothing productive occurs and nothing is learned.
I find myself scrolling over entire pages with your avatar on it before I can get to anything actually discussing what the article is on. Hell sometimes you actually have decent insight but now I just plow over it because I know 90% of the time it is just going to be a pointless flame war covering the same ground as the last one... /Rant
Maybe fonestar flagging his and LennonHendrix's + Francis Sawyer's comments helped the process along?
Addmitting you're a fucking snitch you worthless piece of shit?
Posters started getting banned when fonestar showed up back in 2012.
That's not what I asked you. You're a rat, a weasel.
fonestar will neither confirm nor deny anything.
So ban me right now you fuck.
"So you live, as you are."
What have the feds done with all of that Silk Road info, I wonder.
fonestar don't know. But his PAL not in jail, that is known.
You had the underdog thing going for you but now we see what you really are. Keep it up and you'll have ZH all to yourself and your Butt Coin brigade.
me too cock sucker
As you wish.
You're a real cunt- the list is long and distingushed of banned ZHers and yet you're still fucking here.
Yeah, put two and two together. fonestar is four.
No, phone* is acting four. And your math sucks. You didn't show up here in 2012, you showed up in 2011.
Oh yeah, well whatever.
BUY BITCOIN!!
I could believe PHONEYSTAR is four.....explains a lot
Sigh, why do I get this image of some spotty little drop kick all red in the face with no emotional control when I think of PHONEYSTAR.
Yeah screw Akak and screw you too Rand!
Fuck you fonestar you fuck. You still can't say it, can you. Say "fuck." Or is it too much red tape?
You screwy screw. Screw you Rand! fonestar ban you.. fonestar ban you too.. all of you!
its x's like this i miss slewie the pi-rat
Akak and I have been at odds recently, but that doesn't matter. As far as I know, he never violated any rules. If that is the case, he should not have been banned.
What the fuck is going on?
Come to think of it, I think he had connections to the ZH administration. Perhaps that has something to do with it?
He was upset about the Crimea debate and said he was leaving last I heard.
Post what you "heard." There's a cut and paste feature on most computers these days. Or so I've heard.
You're welcome.
Sorry if I missed the sarc in the midst of this.
akak 3/3/14
You will be happy to know that, due to the pro-authoritarian shifts in editorial stance and popular opinions here on ZH, I will in fact be leaving. I have asked the administration of ZH to delete my account here, and in any case this will be my very last post after my four-year tenure here.
Please enjoy your Czar Vladimir fan club, of which I want no part.
Yeah those fake Libertarian NATO-suckers sure don't like Vlad the debt impaler.

well that is unfortunate and definitive. This place is in shambles.
Imagine ZH with only fonestar, vd and the latest batch of trolls commenting. Shambles is right fonz.
Imagine ZH with only fonestar, vd and the latest batch of trolls commenting. Shambles is right fonz.
What do you mean latest you idiot? fonestar has been here longer than you.
You have here been longer than me...that is for sure. What the hell happened here? Rand, Fonz, Doc, Miffed, Dime...the list is endless....DaddyO....YenCross....I am forgetting a whole bunch of names.....are the voices of this site. At least they are for me.
Fonestar...please take a pill. If you are trying to sabotage a good thing...yeah..well you have won...ok.
Bitcoin is great!!!!!! Happy? I am going to name all of my future offspring SATOSHI FONESTAR. Happy??????????
Fuck gold..fuck the SP....the only thing in this world is Bitcoin. Fuck it...I am divorcing my wife and selling my kid and devote my life to Satoshi.
Happy Pappy?
You are allowed to rejoice in gold and silver. But you must accept Satoshi into your lives if there is to be any hope for an end to the Rapid Spamtoshi Blogging Technology here.
I did forget a name...EBworthen. A great here.
Fonestar, really, I actually have read many of your posts....as there are many....and you do bring up valid points. However, this game you are playing...I just do not get the point. If it is to have fun and fuck around..well hey.....ok. No problem. This world needs to be fucked around with. However, the people here....for the most part just want to share ideas in a somewhat congenial setting. Can you not see this?
Take a breather and ask yourself if fucking with people is worth all the effort.
The answer might be yes...it might be no. But, I ask you to ask yourself the question.
Quite sometime ago, a longtime poster, Hulk said it best when asked about his lack of presence on ZH.
<I've nothing more to add at this point>
I haven't been here as long as some, but have tried to add to the discussion in the arena of ideas.
With all the trolling, that has become impossible!
Hellsbelles, just look at the quality of this thread.
I have gone at it with many here, LTER and I had a go a few weeks back. He's entitled to his opinion as am I and I resprect his right to be wrong and would ask for the same.
It is a sad day when fight club becomes Peyton Place or group think central...
DaddyO
PHONEYSTAR...longest serving drop kick on zerohedge....
It's not always about you. Interesting you self identified yourself as a troll just now. You may not be one of the latest but a troll is a troll.
Does ZH have an ignore user option. I've read most of thre comments on most of the threads here and I don't even register Fonestar, I just skip the post, almost subconsciously. Not that I have anything particularly against the person, as much as I don't really have anything against a fence pailing, it's there, but I pay no attention to it.
Seeing as though this is fight club, just offend the guys god if you want to rattle him. I know it's bizarre, offending a thought inside someones head that requires another thought to perceive the offense, but anyway, it sure seems to have a profound affect. Mmmmm, now, Fonestar, Bitcoin . . . . . . . gone after Francis_Sawyer . . . . . . . mmmmm, the plot thickens . . . . . . . could F be a J, right, now what to the J's worship. Actually, I haven't a clue, do they worship Allah? No, no, Muslims worship Allah. Well then who do J's worship. It's not the big J. The big J is the Christian's idol. Shit, I'm stumped, is it the big Y, yes, that's it, the big Y. OK, now I've done the ground work go for your life.
I will miss Akak. He was good at harassing all the trolls on here. I'll miss him especially when he was tag-teaming with The Fourth-Stooging's comments... that was great. Enjoy it up in Alaska.
He was outlived by fonestar.
Yet he has something you will never have on this forum; respect.
fonestar has many fans. Especially for the work done on cnbc.com.
Name one. VD doesn't even like you. He is just playing Jimmy Carter to your inner Obama.
LOL
Yep, I'll miss Akak too.
It's just not gonna be the same around here.
Dammit.
