http://blog.cryptsy.com/Some may ask why we didnt report this to the authorities when this occurred, and the answer is that we just didnt know what happened, didnt want to cause panic, and were unsure who exactly we should be contacting.
Hey, Paul Vernon, were you also unsure as to which form to use when you filed Cryptsy's taxes in 2015 for fiscal year 2014 of the July 29, 2014,
event which
reduced Cryptsy's holdings by over thirteen million dollars? In case you and your CPA were unsure, it's Form 4684:
https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f4684.pdfInstructions: https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i4684.pdfLosses You Can Deduct
You can deduct losses of property from fire,
storm, shipwreck, or other casualty, or theft
(for example, larceny, embezzlement,
robbery, and Ponzi-type investment
schemes). See Pub. 547, Casualties,
Disasters, and Thefts, for more examples https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p547.pdfA theft is the taking and removing of money or
property with the intent to deprive the owner of
it. The taking of property must be illegal under
the law of the state where it occurred and it
must have been done with criminal intent. You
don't need to show a conviction for theft.
Theft includes the taking of money or property
by the following means.
- Blackmail.
- Burglary.
- Embezzlement.
- Extortion.
- Kidnapping for ransom.
- Larceny.
- Robbery.
The taking of money or property through fraud
or misrepresentation is theft if it is illegal under
state or local law
Next question: Paul, were Cryptsy's CPA and Lawyers also unsure who exactly should be contacted with SARs being the most logical first choice followed by every three-letter agency including the FBI where your inside contact bud, Shaun Bridges, was still occupying an office with his indictment not coming into play for a few more months in spite of you alluding to the contrary in your blog post?:
At one time we had a open communication with Secret Service Agent Shaun Bridges on an unrelated matter, but I think we all know what happened with him so he was no longer somebody we could report this to.
What's ironic, Paul, is that Marshall Long, Leroy Fodor, John Fitzpatrick and Craig Wright's lies are more believable than what you've penned, for even an mentally unstable person can see right through them.
