    The article says multiple times that Bruce was “kicked out of Ohio” but according to the court order in the article he was just enjoined from having anything to do with mortgages or loans in that state. That doesn’t mean he was kicked out of Ohio. It just means that he can’t do business in real estate there. They are not the same thing. I know you’re just trying to be hyperbolic but it makes you sound like a dumbass.

      He was barred from running his business there, and since I get the feeling that Bruce hasn’t worked a normal 9-5 job I’d say that he was effectively unable to stay in the state.

    You forgot to mention that, despite Bruce claiming in yesterday’s confession that Bold Funding was a legitimate business that “helped many people save their homes” )later downgraded from “many” to “a small percentage”), in Court things were another story:

    “Bold Funding and Bruce Wagner could not identify anyone who actually received any funding through the efforts of the Defendants”

    Bruce’s “company” could not indentify a _single_ individual who received even _one cent_.

    Proving that:
    a) Tod Williams was, without a doubt, Bruce and/or a Bold Funding employee
    b) Bold Funding was a scam, not a business gone wrong
    c) Bruce Wagner is a filthy fucking liar

    he hasn’t pulled off a thing on the Bitcoin Community. the Bitcoin source code and block chain remain impenetrable and will become the international currency of the future with or w/o Bruce. Bitcoin will hit at least $1000 in the coming year and then higher as the production levels off.

    I’d also like to point out that mybitcoin.com is showing an error page for arvixe, a pretty obscure hosting company.

    Which is where onlyonetv is hosted.

    And also meethotfemales.com is hosted there, which shows some errors if you Google for “punlman”(bruce’s Skype name), which redirects to rentboy.com, a site notorious for male prostitution.

    Does everyone realize that “PUNL” is the acronym for the excuse that NAMBLA likes to use? Pure UNconditional Love. Isn’t Bruce always talking about giving away love unconditionally?

    Clearly you have a lot of evidence here that says this dude is not to be trusted… but the fact that two websites run on the same host is circumstantial at best. I use Arvixe myself. They’re pretty good.

    Maybe this is the real reason the FBI got in contact with him. If a buttcoin.org blogger could connect these dots, it seems likely that the FBI did too.

    Boy, this article makes a lot of sents too. The connections do not seem like a stretch at all.

    Holy crap, and I was following his Bitcoin show on YouTube. The evidence for his setting up this whole Mybitcoin.com scam is now overwhelming.

    I want to remind everyone though, that any “wallet-keeping service” of any sort, for any wallet, physical or virtual, should be looked at as suspicious and quite frankly everyone that used the service is IMO a dumbass.

    This of course will not deter me from continuing to mine and use BTC, however, and it should not deter anyone else either. But goddamn… fucking SHAME on Bruce Wagner if this is all true. Asshole would-be scammers need to realize the age they live in — you WILL be found out and ousted.

      Oh yeah and also, if all this is true AND what he said about convincing much of his own family to use mybitcoin.com on his show (probably not true though), that would make him one of the biggest dickhead assholes I have ever witnessed existence of.

    Powell: that is awesome!
    Colin : he does not know how to deal with it obviously
    Powell: Just like how to host a tv show
    Powell: the fag is sitting there reading from his laptop babbling stuff
    Colin : I never watched much of that
    Colin : someone passed me a link once
    Colin : I had to turn it off
    Colin : him and ed were trying to sandwich some young fellow
    Colin : gross
    Powell: HAHAHAHA
    Colin : then I watched the Adrianne Jeffreys episode because she accused me of stealing in her blog and in the NY Observer
    Colin : terrible show
    Colin : not the least reason that brooce never did figure out what bitcoin is for
    Powell: Yeah I watched 10 minutes of his show and had to turn it off as well. The man does not know anything about technology or bitcoin for that matter. He is just an opportunist, today is mortgage refinance, tomorrow is bitcoin. In addition, he seems to be pretty fucking dumb.
    Colin : yeah, dumb enough to not realise what a total fucking sleaze he is
    Colin : and then not even cover his tracks
    Powell: Exactly. The man is posting about picking up child whores all over the internet, and then he aims to be a tv celebrity?
    Powell: what a dumbass
    Colin : no shit

    Bruce Wagner was in Pattaya for some months and then suddenly moved to Bangkok. I put this on my website Thailandbitchboard.com and in less than a day there are 115 hits! I smelled a rat a few weeks after I met him and stopped talking to him soon afterwards. He claimed he was lover of Paul Anks or someone like that. A 70s girly voice singer.
    Anyway one thing I would like to say if the person who started on about him being a “fag” is that I am gay also and that talk is offensive. Bruce is a fraudster, period. We don’t say straight fraudster or gay and we definitely should not refer to him by a discriminatory means. He is a fraud and it keeps chasing him world wide. Probably packing and leavig town from Bangkok soon headed somewhere.

      I am going to you site to read that after This guy contacted our twitter page out of the blue last night, don’t know the guy never conversed on social media before. Our sites, websites are about protecting children from child abuse, human-trafficking, sexual abuse, domestic violence, pornography. Last night i had no one clue about this guy who he was not until today, when i get send several tweets from a person, letting me know, then sending me to this article. How this guy loves little Thai children. What he contacted us over, he was looking for support to use a surrogate to have a child with.

      Now it all makes perfect sense, this child abuser is going to use a surrogate to father children to use abuse and most likely sell.
