Updated: toxicology reports have all come back negative for anything.

I don’t have a quality source because I don’t know how to search for French stories but there was some English coverage on a podcast.

If anyone has a quality report showing the toxicology results or the outcomes or updates on any of the arrests I’d love to see them.

Two wallets. 10k BTC each. These wallets were created back when BTC was 78¢. When you spend $10k the IRS might ask questions. If you are “structuring” correctly you avoid spending $9,999 and $1 within a short time span or even in the same reporting period. 10k BTC back then was something you could buy that looked like it wasn’t $10k but was really close. Spend it twice in two different wallets and if there are enough other transactions no one will notice.

Anytime you see a transaction or set of transactions that add up to or are just shy of 10k USD, BTC or pretty much anything, there should be a little bell that dings in your head and causes you to think “this person is clearly thinking about US tax reporting laws and trying to dodge them.”

Who had all that money back in 2011 that decided that now was the time to tap those wallets that are worth a billion each? Obviously someone that hasn’t needed the money until now. Someone that is planning on spending up to 2 billion. But not right away because if you try to sell 20k BTC in a hurry it will draw attention and potentially destabilize the currency. But you could sell it all off over the next year or longer without flooding the market.

Who wants to spend up to $2 billion in the next year? What could you buy with that kind of money? Elon musk spent ~$250 million getting Trump elected. That’s just an eighth of $2B. You could buy a lot of super PAC power with $2B. You could bankroll the primarying of every Republican that voted for OBBB. Weird that these wallets were dusted off so close to Elon saying he would primary anyone that voted for OBBB, and he has a strong affinity for crypto, and he had enough money in 2011 to buy that much BCT on a whim, and that he wouldn’t have had to touch it to pay other bills as BTC went from 78¢ to more than $100,000 over the last 14 years.

I wonder who these wallets belong to and what they will be used for?

This is what conspiracy thinking looks like. It’s me. I’m the one conspiracy thinking.

Took me a moment to realize you weren’t talking about Arthur Miller. “Well duh. That doesn’t even sound like Death of a Salesman and he is dead. Oh. Wait. Stephan Miller, Nazi sympathizer.”

Where he puts his name and title in there different ways in case someone was unclear who this insecure narcissist is? That signature block?

States rights! They shouted. Turns out they didn’t even want city rights.

It’s too early for the Butlerian Jihad to start.

At your next job interview ask them if they are results driven or methodology driven. “If I were to take twice as long to do something by using a poorly designed tool will I be rewarded or punished?”

Trump “you don’t have any cards” The next thing you know Ukraine has destroyed Russia’s bomber force. Trump “we have all the cards.” Stay tuned next week to see how he learned nothing.

That’s definitely going to help him make a deal.

Good to know. As my posting history on Lemmy will show I definitely watch bread recipes videos. In fact I became a mod for c/cooking today.

You watch one ContraPoints video about Jordan B Peterson and the next thing you know … Still not any JBP video recommendations. So I guess there is an upside to the failure of big data.

Each day I go to the YouTube app on Roku to my subscriptions tab and watch whatever is new. Then I go to Recommend and it’s 90% or more previous videos from those same subscriptions and very little new creators it hasn’t showed me.

After almost a year of this it figured out last week I might like AronRa, a person I’m very familiar with. And after countless videos on anthropology, evolution and paleontology he should have come up so much sooner. So much for big data.

But what is completely lacking is a “show me completely random stuff, old, new, not in my algorithm, short, long, completely against my algorithm, etc.” it lacks almost any way to discover new stuff that isn’t 100% related to content you already have.

YouTube gets more uploads than any one person can possibly watch and yet it’s almost incapable of showing me something unless I explicitly tell it to find it for me.

I hope France has a better track record than America for that.

I said that every case in the past has been a panic. And until we find evidence this isn’t the Bayesian policies apply. Investigate and then figure out if something actually happened.

145 people that think something happened isn’t evidence. Every case in the past had lots of people absolutely convinced it happened.

So let’s take this to the next step. There is video surveillance because every venue does these days. They pull the video. They watch the video. They follow the movements of every person. They see who bumped into who. If the video shows one or more people ranging too far to too many people and getting close when there is plenty of space and shows them dumping the evidence then we have actual proof that backs up the claims. Toxicology tests were performed. We find that there is something in the blood that shouldn’t be there.

You and each of the others here that are absolutely convinced that this time is the one time in history that this actually happened get vindicated.

But what if the video doesn’t show it? What if the toxicology is completely normal? Are you going to regret being so absolutely sure? Are you going to come back here and say “okay, I was wrong.”

I’m asking that you wait until the evidence is evaluated to make a decision. Reports aren’t proof. Evidence is proof. And given the history of this type of claim a little proof before judgment is absolutely warranted.

This also happened in France in 2022. People were detained, preliminary charges filed. And then the cases vanished. Not great reports of convictions. No “there is nothing to worry about, the criminals have he brought to justice.”

In this current case they have arrested maybe a dozen. If they are guilty then throw the book at them. But the guilty should come only after the evidence has been evaluated. And a report is not evidence. That’s suspicion.

I’m saying that in the past every incidence or this has been alleged turned out to be mass panic. And at today’s age of constant video surveillance there would be evidence, not just reports. So either this is the very first case in the world where this is actually true and we will find that out through the evidence or we’re going to find out that it’s not true and then it matches all the previous events. But police reports do not make something real.

I’m asking people to look at the evidence.

Did you read the link I included in my previous comment?

Anyone can file a police report. And if they believe they were a victim then they are more likely to do that.

During the 80s example I gave it was men that were reporting it.
