In this reddit thread it's said TF made all time high bets on JD, is that true?
Yes, it's true. There was talk at the time of his 561 BTC bet being a new "biggest ever BTC bet".
On 29th June, BTC was trading on Mt.Gox between $93 and $98.
Three of his bets are still listed on

mechs'
bet on 4th October for 7016 BTC at 4th October = $132 * 7016 = $925,000 is still the biggest bet, I think? That bet is now worth over $2M now, of course...

I'm a bit worried about Mechs, he disappeared after that - right?
Hope he didn't blew away all his BTC before this rally. The guy was a long-time investor, very conscious about his investment and always trying to give his opinion about what were the best moves for investors, and suddenly he went berserk and gambled it all, losing it... Not a funny situation if you ask me, unless he is in the Forbes list losing $2M is so crazy you can't even conceive it, i would remember it all my life when I look at my kids.
I hope everything OK with Mechs too. I also lost much on JD and now quit gambling, I know how it feels to lose a few hundreds of bitcoins, as to a few thousands, I think it hurts much more.
Hope he's fine.
