I would just like to urge caution to anyone who may be taken for a ride by pirateat40 and who has the belief that they have security because they've 'doxed' him.
Please realize that it's relatively trivial for someone playing a long con to use another person's identity. Consequently: don't do anything rash. Please act through the authorities or at the very least act under the assumption that you don't know where the real culprit is. 'Trendon Shavers' or whatever your dox results are is just the starting point. If he is also a particularly stupid con man, he's your endpoint too... but I doubts it.

Exactly this. I've been saying this for a long time: nobody actually knows who Pirate is. There are many people who say that they've met him/slept with his sister and claim that it's trivial to identify him, but I highly suspect that they were either lying for their own purposes, were paid off by Pirate, or misled by Pirate - potentially a professional conman - with fraudulent documents, or a combination of all three (i.e. they were willing to say they met him after they saw the documents and Pirate paid them to make it sound like they know Pirate more than they really do).
Absolutely no dox have been posted for public scrutiny at any time. Additionally, the fact that he avoids using MtGox tells me that he's not
actually Level 3 verified as he claims to be.
