Right. But I ain't lending. Not to an unknown, certainly. More than that, I ain't lending to nobody since one of my friends got unjustly popped by the feds for ostensibly 'operating an unlicensed money transfer business'. Later all charges dropped, it still cost him like a quarter million bux, at least one client, and untold hours of his life.
May I ask what does that quarter million bux account for if the charges were dropped? Lawyer fees? If that's the case that's a really fucked up system yeah.
Was it bitcoin related or just regular fiat loans that somehow turned wrong?
Extortion, if you ask me. Under color of law. Bitcoin. It's all pretty well documented in old posts on this here forum.

Then I guess you mean that guy (can't remember the nick) that has its website in the sig where he explains it all. Yeah, I remember it. Really fucked up story.
Yup. BurtW. And yes, I count him as a friend. And a cautionary tale about this fucked up world in which we live. Introduced me to Bitcoin, as a matter of fact.
P.S.: I see you still have that "heresy" thing in your sig. I don't know if it is just that Lauda retracted that shit or that it isn't showing because he/she is not on DT1 anymore. Anyways, maybe it is time to already turn the page as it is unimportant anymore? Just saying.
Thanks for the suggestion. Just checked. Lauda still has me negged. For no reason other than s/he doesn't like the fact that I like the other Bitcoins. This predates DT1 by a large margin. Hence hir participation in DT1 is irrelevant. For that matter, DT1 is irrelevant in and of itself. So there's that too.
