For any doubters whatsoever, I have 3 suggestions:

1. is to ask you the man himself. I am certain he will have a straight forward and concise answer covering all of the points you bring up.

2. Or maybe contact the CoinsSource POD service that signed off on him. Weren't they already paid to do something in regards to looking into the dev? Or does five stars come from sending them an id and a payment. Hell, they even said that Dan was a reputable businessman. That statement can't be made without some research right?

if all else fails

3. or call the toll free Lien Unit phone number provided on the form. I am certain if you explain the situation fully to them, that someone is claiming Dan Metcalf who is currently in control of ~600btc and possibly ~250btc more shortly from a coin ito is the same as a lien you saw. Give them the lien serial number and information on the form. I am certain they will clear it right up.

I am certain and without a shadow of a doubt that they are one and the same. I could provide that info and without doxxing. But continually being chastised for clearly doing the right thing leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Mind you I did this for free as well with no dog in the fight. It weighed on me heavily and seeing more and more people sucked in to the quagmire of filth and deceit all with the change for it to vaporize at any second made up my mind. I could have sat back and said nothing and regretted the rest of my life. Or I could have sat back and secretly used to info to my advantage or called it in myself. Instead I gave it to the community and now I wish I had earlier. I tried to warn everyone multiple times and hinted at this for some time just hoping someone would figure it out all by themselves. Like I've alluded to before, thousand of people invested in this coin and thousands in xc and not one figured this simple thing out. This all should have been brought to light before blocknet was even a whishper instead look at what you have done. Do not shift blame, hate or negativity at me. You are the ones responsible for this mess. You were horrible stewards for your community.

A simple thank you was all that was necessary.

I do this type of research and plenty that is much more involved on a daily basis. If you are unable to figure it out and/or put eyes on it yourself with the single document I provided then I really am not going to hold your hand to baby step you through it. This is like someone providing a free mac wallet for a coin and you expecting they teach you how to build it. You might be surprised to find out, that research involves more than googling something. I am guessing you could find a copy of that document at least in 2 or 3 locations

If you want to send me 3btc to work on this a couple of more days and put together a report then do it. If you think that is high, to bad. That is about a rough after tax rate including hotel and food that I could make doing it otherwise. If you want me to teach you how I research I usually charge a student the first month of their pay so ~15-22btc, but I rarely take on a student.

If you want to continue to doubt the authenticity of the document then find an escrow and put up some btc.

So you have the proof, but don't want to provide it, and you say you did this research for free, yet now want 3 BTC to prepare a report.

Hmm. How about this, just show the proof that the tax document is connected to the XC dev, and we won't need your report. You save time, I save BTC, and you stop the whole scam in it's tracks, thereby doing the community a service which you so righteously proclaim is your goal. Because here's how it goes otherwise:

1: We ask Dan, he say's "No, that's not me"

2: We ask CoinsSource, they say "Actually, we contacted the dev and are awaiting verification. Currently no PoD stars have been awarded. Our article is based on an informal interview in IRC."

3: We contact the tax department and tell them we've found a guy called Dan Metcalf, who may, or may not be the same guy they're looking for, and that our guy is a coin dev who has got some bitcoins. We could say "Would you mind going and arresting your Dan Metcalf for us so we can see if it's the right guy? We're not quite sure you see, because there's more than one Daniel R Metcalf in Marshfield, and the guy who gave me the tax information removed the address and doesn't want show me how it's connected to the coin dev. Oh, one more thing, we have no reason to suspect that our guy has done anything illegal, we just want to make sure he's not the guy you're looking for."

The condescending tone of your reply to my simple request for proof of the connection smacks of someone who has no proof, instead you attempt to deflect the issue citing your hurt pride as the reason you provide none.
