So you think, I don't know, a 130 year war or witch-burning or frequent famines are signs of a healthy society? Nice. No. I have your number exactly. You are a part of the problem and as soon as people like you get enough power, torture and murder of people thinking different starts. Again.
My guess would be he gave them up under duress. Well, when the Government threatens you with torture, it is called something else, but the mechanism is the same.
Why make this complex.. They simply searched his phone and found the information that way. They had a warrant, took the phones involved and searched them. It's not like they didn't know or couldn't find out who sent and received messages with Cohen.
My take also. May also have involved "your phone password now or a deal is off the table"...
The bible serves excellent pretexts for all kinds of political murder. So does every "holy book". The whole idea of such a book is the very opposite of "holy". And since not even the very short abstract version (10 commandments) is in any way abuse-proof, the whole approach can safely be regarded as a fundamental failure.
Indeed. The religious fuckups are entirely willing to kill, maim and slaughter anybody believing differently. At the moment these specific ones in the US are just not powerful enough to get away with it, so they exercise some limited restraint out of self-preservation. But even a brief look at history shows their real nature in action.
I still have not found any meaning full difference between any xyz-nazis. Left/right/religio/etc.-nazis. Extremist minded-people that feel entitled to push their ideologies on everybody. All the same scum, with a bit of different imagery and catch-phrases. At least in the end all willing to kill anybody who disagrees.
What is even more surprising is that many people are unable to learn even when when they have been burnt before. There was a "Nigerian money scam" variant where they claimed that the Nigerian government would now compensate victims. All it takes was paying an advance fee. And yes, the fraudsters got even more money that way. Human lack of understanding how things work is really unlimited.
Interbank-transfers are actually massively cheaper than bitcoin transfers and have assured low execution times. For example, a SEPA transfer of unlimited (!) volume costs around 25 cent for the end-customer.
That is not it. The message here is "only do investments that you actually understand" and "only gamble with money you can afford to lose" and it is good advice.
They are talking about what they believed, not about what information was actually available. That is also why they claim to be victims. They are victims of their own cluelessness only, not in any other way.
These days they are not called "idiots", but "victims", even though here that is absolutely the same thing, as they did it to themselves. There is no profit in being the former, but there can be significant profit in being the latter. They basically claim that they were not utterly stupid, but that "somebody" did it to them and that they can legitimately ask for help for that reason.
You seem to have problems with the generalization of an idea. This is a limitation of your mind, and not shared by everybody else. Also, you misrepresent how Ponzi-schemes work, implying you do not understand what you are talking about in the first place. Please go away.
It is a generalized version of a Ponzi-scheme. That makes it logically not a Ponzi-scheme, but it does share significant characteristics with the idea.

Indeed. This person does not even understand why this is called a "public" key.....

I recommend not doing it, since it is a felony....
Then it only requires a deal and the police has everything. Not the fault of the software at all.
Ah, so the structures that successfully kept societies together for 2000 years "can safely be regarded as a fundamental failure"?
A convenient lie. Claiming that only the right set of beliefs can instill morality and order is right out of the fascist's handbook.
Pretty much the same as any longer-term hype. Always the same stupidity.
The US only has right and far-right.

That is not actually true for server-workloads. The only thing where Intel was better was single-core gaming benchmarks.
Calling the gamblers "investors" is part of the strategy to draw in even more fools.
Replace "some" with "many" and you are right.

In other words, things are working as expected.
Or in short: Don't gamble more money than you can afford to lose. This simple and obvious rule seems to be widely unknown.
Interbank-transfers are actually massively cheaper than bitcoin transfers and have assured low execution times. For example, a SEPA transfer of unlimited (!) volume costs around 25 cent for the end-customer.
That is not it. The message here is "only do investments that you actually understand" and "only gamble with money you can afford to lose" and it is good advice.
Since "ordinary" people are pretty clueless about how things actually work, it does fit right in.
They are talking about what they believed, not about what information was actually available. That is also why they claim to be victims. They are victims of their own cluelessness only, not in any other way.
The next round will works just the same as this one did. The supply of suckers is endless.
