I was talking to my buddy Bob Saccamano the other day and he gave me a picture and had a story for me !
He claimed that Bitcointalk was extorting users and posted a screen cap of proof.
Best i can tell the picture is legit and Bob *seemed to be honest about it all..
So don't crucify me for what he said i am just saying what i heard and i want to know if this is confirmed as fact.
Here is the screen cap i was given..
edit:
i am being blocked ever time i try and add the picture

i have tried 3 hosters so far and all failed..
going to try changing the picture from a 3mb png to jpeg to get it shared

use imgur - it seems to work good.
and yes - if you spread evil they extort you before you can register a new user. I once did something to make a point by using the user J|777 vs Jl777 and offered to take people's money. After that I had to send like .37c worth of bitcoin to bitcointalk (even though my scam probably was less harmful to bitcoin community as a joke than the serious one)
YEP that's the one. pretty smart - make bad guys pay money
