Comment on SEC Charges Texas Man With Running Bitcoin-Denominated Ponzi Scheme

Comments

Why did he get caught? Looks like plain greed. If had been careful, used Tor, and kept the money in Bitcoin, then carefully withdrew over a long time period he'd have gotten away with it.

He met people in vegas, promised them a bunch of fairy tales to their faces and then scammed them. They knew his name, Tor wont help you there. I have no idea why he didn't flee somewhere though, probably doesn't have any money left most ponzi operators when they go bust have nothing to show for it.
