The SEC is seeking a court order to freeze the assets of Shavers and BTCST in addition to other relief, including permanent injunctions, disgorgement of ill-gotten gains with prejudgment interest, and financial penalties.

I'm seeking a blowjob and a pizza. So fucking what? Cheesy

SEC hasn't given any indication they even know where Pirate is. (outside of him residing in TX at some point)

Do they normally provide you with the address? No.

Answers your post.

Oh, please. That address is posted all over (they didn't even give the full address). Name, too. There's no indictment. As of now, this is a non-story. It's just the SEC giving an official response along the lines of what numerous official reports against Pirate have claimed.

Maybe it'll change - but as of now, there's no reason to have a higher rate of suspicion that anything significant'll happen over what was suspected a year ago.

Pirate met physically in-person with many different people who've come forward. They came forward a year ago. The SEC's failure to actually DO anything other than make an online blog post after a whole freakin' year is more reason than ever to suspect there will be no action by the SEC to actually prosecute Pirate. For all we know, he's in Venezuela huffing gasoline and telling locals he's the son of God.

ETA: Compare this to the Michael Brown case. His house was raided, with his wife and he handcuffed to their bed while the secret service was rather rudely kicking down his doors, seizing any storage hardware, and otherwise ruining his life. He's been indicted and in court for batshit-insane charges of blackmailing Mitt Romney for Bitcoins. Pirate, OTOH, is a known scammer of tens of millions, and so far has an SEC complaint filed against "his entity."

ETA2: I'll also say, as someone who filed a formal complaint against Pirate, that the SEC never even bothered to reply back to me.

ETA3: Maybe I'm being too harsh. I'll henceforth reserve judgment about the SEC's actions until more information comes up. I'm very bitter about a friend being raided and indicted by the USG for something completely fucking ridiculous while a blatant criminal is not even officially complained about until a year after it was proven a scam, while many scammers who've cheated me out of tens of thousands USD remain at-large, and the SEC didn't even fucking bother to contact me about Pirate..... ..... ........ Holding my tongue, now.

Is pirate's physical involvement with others the cause of his demise? How was he doxed so easily?
