Richard actually believes PozWired isn't going blindside him, doesn't he?

I’m sure the writer is a former or current goon. Wonder if they will use Logan’s name in the article? If they don’t she will be pissed. She will be livid if she misses out on attention whoring on a national level, nothing could be more on brand for her.

What bothers me is that the site is being sold to a staff member who took a direct part in turning the community against Richard and was telling everybody to get ready to flee the site, and was regularly updating the users on the status of negotiations with a tone of "if this falls through, i'll let you know so you can resume the riots."

There's very good reason to suspect that Jeffrey has been colluding with Logan and the staff to sabotage the goodwill of Something Awful in order to drive down the company's price as much as possible. In addition, Jeffrey is in an excellent position to threaten to destroy the entire company if it is not sold at a bargain price. Since goons lack any rules of engagement when they set out to fuck with people online or in real life, this is extremely plausible.

Smart people have a tendency to think other people are as smart as they are, and expect a lot more of a cunning plan than what's actually going to happen.

You've got a good train of thought, but I'm gonna have to side with the rest of us and say that's probably giving everyone involved way too much credit. It's more than likely that Jeffery of YOSPOS is going to try to explain Bitcoin to Lowtax, hand the cash over, and Lowtax won't know what to do with it. From there, we could see:

-Lowtax losing the bitcoin wallet altogether and throwing an enormous fit when he keeps getting told there's no way to recover it, and of course he won't write down his wallet's seed
-Jeffery of YOSPOS flipping the bitcoin into actual cash to pay Lowtax, and subsequently getting audited
-The IRS getting involved with both of them over bungling the transfer of the site, for one reason or another
-Who the hell even knows, just go wild, it's idiots all the way down, and troons always, always have their crosshairs aimed at both of their heads

Oh my god I hadn't even thought of Jeffery paying for SA in buttcoin.
Oh please let be how this goes down. The keks from Lowtax attempting to cash out and fuck it up are immense, especially with his noted habit of not paying attention to tax law.

This is a man who was literally bullied into selling off his life's work for a pittance by a bunch of faggot degenerate men wearing dresses, meekly submitting to their flurry of slaps, sobbing and crying about how sorry he is for existing/being a man/denying what a piece of shit wifebeating asshole he is

No one forced him to sell. He's let the site languish for years. And his time for garnering respect is very well over due to his laziness.

Saying Lowtax was 'bullied off SA' is like saying a lazy employee getting fired for stealing after years of slackwork, and nobody having any idea how the fuck they were still saying employed, was 'bullied by HR until they left'.

You mean a “Lazy boss” who got bullied out of his own poorly run company because his unpaid volunteer staff let a bunch of raving loons dictate company policy and practices.

Oh yeah, ever since people started mentioning Jeffery of YOSPOS has a lot of bitcoin, that's exactly how I figured the deal would go down. And if you don't know exactly what you're doing with cryptocurrency, it's so easy to fuck it up and lose your money.

You have to pay miner's fees on every transfer (usually just a few cents, though fees have gotten expensive before), so here's a screenshot of someone flipping the two and accidentally paying a miner's fee of 300 BTC to send 0.0001 BTC.

View attachment 1444309

I can't remember how much that was worth in April 2016, but I know that was a lot of money then. It's hovering just under $10,000/BTC today, so that guy fucked up to the tune of $3 million. Meanwhile, some anonymous random bitcoin miner somewhere hit the fucking jackpot.

There was also that famous story of the guy who threw out a hard drive with a bitcoin wallet that surged to several million dollars, complete with pictures of him helplessly digging around at the dump. And there are countless stories of idiots losing their wallets in one way or another, sending to invalid addresses, or getting scammed because they don't know what they're doing. If Lowtax accepts the transfer with bitcoin, I would be fucking floored if he didn't fuck it up.

I know lowtax will be getting paid plebian FIAT currency, but I can dream Jeffery would talk him into taking the whole thing in BTC.

Also BTC will likely hover around $10,000 for the forseeable future. That's because $10,000 is the federal reporting deposit threshold, and BTC is not very subtly being used by primarily Russian/Caspian Sea mobsters as value markers to move money around. And less notably, but increasingly, by chinese citizens to hide their lucre from their communist overlords.
