Proves bitcoin can be tracked

Yes it most certainly does, JJ. That stupid fuk who was the so called kidnapping ring leader and a “computer engineer”, apparently didn’t have a fuk’in clue as to how IP addresses work. I knew those dumb fuks would get caught as soon as I heard the ransom was in bitcoin.

What a damn shame. With sports betting now starting to become legal in several states, who knows, Tony might’ve come back here and started or ended up managing a huge betting operation here in the U.S. He was an intelligent guy, legalized sports betting happened just a little too late for him to get outta the corruption that plagues Costa Rica.

Rest In Peace Tony. At least they caught the stupid greedy fuk’ers.

You have to use Monero.

I found out quickly on the dark net that BTC can be tracked.

not a big deal if you're just buying a little recreational drugs, but if you're running a criminal Enterprise it is

[Daddy89]

The criminal act involved 5 members of a family, several relatives and 2 officers. As described by Wálter Espinoza, director of the Judicial Investigation Agency (OIJ). https://www.crhoy.com/nacionales/en-...e-secuestrado/


RIP.

[stevenash]

Sad news.

It may give the family some closure at least.

It is sad news, I’ve had many a conversation with ‘Tony’ I always gave him respect, and he always gave me respect back.

The one thing that stuck out about him was I was extremely impressed with his intelligence.
His baseball knowledge was mind boggling.

[chidondollars]

Too bad people making jest of a dead man.How stupid to kill a kidnapped victim after collecting ransom.Rip buddy,meet you at the other side but not soon but one day

[reigle9]

Went would anyone ever think btc is untraceable when you need to sign up at an exchange to get it? Maybe they make pre-paid phone card type things now idk

[shari91]

In my opinion no one deserves to die... just like people didn't deserve to be belittled during a chat session with Tony.

Perhaps that's where you're getting the backlash.

Money talks, thats why the world is like it is. people will speak wonders of anybody as long as there is $$$ reward or was, at some point

Take that same persona and put it in someone who posts here? Banned in one day

Gosh I swear some of you posters deliberately try to act like you belong on the short bus at times. Friggen hell.

I don't give a shit about the money someone as... the bloody guy wouldn't give me an account there until I'd tried probably 30 times to open one. He hated my ass at first. And every time I'd go on live chat to try to discuss a player complaint he'd get someone to flip me off and would only talk to Dozer or Louise even though HE had initially insisted I contact him. A friggen fruit loop as far as I was concerned. And then I finally cracked it 8 years ago or so and said while I appreciate he stands up for his company he appears rather batshit crazy and then he flipped it on me... "you always try to stop people trying to jack SBR, why am I any different?" And the guy was right. And then he went on and asked what it would take to hire myself and Louise and I said considering I live where I do.... trust me I know he may have had a rough bedside manner but I don't consider him any different than myself when banning people who try to dodge their way into registering for SBR or especially a contest. It may not be palatable for some - including my colleagues - but I bet you were happy Tony had the cash to always pay you out because he was a hard prick rather than smile, shit and shave and have no money for anything but at least you had a good number of registrations!

Tony was a brilliant business person and I hope whomever's taken over for him will honour what he's established there. RIP and much love to his family, colleagues and loved ones.

You also should wash the coin at least 2x with untraceable coins like Monero, Zcash, Verge or Bitcoin Private.

They marketed it that way. A lot of people still "think" it is. As long as their blockchain is public, it will not be.

Yup. I'll say if you're just buying a little drugs or whatever don't worry about it, feds don't care about you at all.

Just get power back up and running?

[allabout the $$$]

wow some of you guys have some serious issues

[WvGambler]

Didn’t realize Tony was so young.

[butterpecan]

"tony" was a brilliant gambler who was smart enough to create the greatest online sportsbook ever.

I hope Costa Rica doesn't become another violent failed central American state. Kidnapping, corrupt cops? if the drug trade takes hold, goodbye pura vida.

So they found him buried a year later in a cemetery in an unmarked grave. Well I guess that's good that they finally found his remains for the families sake.

Sounds like he was flashy and became a target in a poor Country, it happens. He could have crossed up some cartel and or ever burned some bridges with some higher ups being in that industry also. Who really knows the entire true story? Still sounds like it's being covered up at some level.

[Biff41]

Steve Wynn used to say the expression about if you can't take the heat get out of the kitchen must have come from someone who owned a casino.

[Outsider626]

The bigger question is why they had to kill the dude if they received ransom for him. Still a lot more questions to be answered. For example why his bodyguard was not with him that night?

[SnakesPicks]

lol Glad I read that stuff before it got redacted.

[Plaza23]

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">According to Costa Rican authorities, the corpse of Sean Creighton--owner of offshore sportsbook 5Dimes--was found last week in a cemetery in Quepos. Creighton, who grew up in West Virginia, disappeared last September.</p>&mdash; David Payne Purdum (@DavidPurdum) <a rel="nofollow" href="https://twitter.com/DavidPurdum/status/1173700983207145472?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" >September 16, 2019</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Burying him in a cemetery was actually a smart move. Who would look for a body there?

[BigdaddyQH]

How totally ignorant can you people be? No wonder you clowns lose so much money. Of course this was an inside hit. Of course the Costa Rican government was in on it. Do you people have any idea how many people have been hit, died of "mysterious" causes, and plain just disappeared in that country? This is old news.

2 cops were in on it. If you can’t trust the police, who can you trust? Tony probably either felt comfortable enough having lived there for 20 years that he was safe and didn’t need to pay off the police or govt to protect his business. In the end he’s a rich American gringo, in a shady business, set up in a 3rd world country. That’s a big target that tends to stand out. It was only a matter of time.

Sure his family wishes he could have gotten out with the $$$ he made and lived a quiet life in the Caribbean somewhere.

Well duh it’s an inside hit.
Almost all murders are inside hits.
Only 11 percent of all murders are random hits.

Not for nothing you have a 1 in 16,000 chance of being murdered.
Not for nothing part two Honduras is the worlds most murderous country and it’s not even close.
Venezuela is second followed by the US Virgin Islands.

Got some bad news for ya buddy.

Didn't read the article eh rudy? Classic.

Article says the FBI/family wanted better forensic analysis than just the quick preliminary dental examination but that it hasn't been carried out and/or the results not revealed. I mean they were told the body was in a cemetery so of course there was a body. Article brings up a lot of new information, especially concerning his legal troubles back here.

why is that classic?

you just came back and wanting to know everything going on

you missed posting in this thread so i figured you just didnt know they found it

relax guy


maybe he is alive who fukkin knows

Tony recognized one of the kidnappers as someone who had worked for him years previous so they had to off him. Tony's big mouth might have got him killed because you keep that shit to yourself if you recognize dude.

Just came back to SBR but not the gambling world, still had an ear to the streets. I'm relaxing my guy, cigar and a beer for the afternoon ball. Just take a read next time, I simply found it curious that the author writing an article about Tony thought there's a chance he's a live. For the record, I don't buy it but thought it was interesting.

[RudyRuetigger]

the people found and being charged with all this bs would probably be talking

what is their sentence length looking like

he wouldnt have used so many people to fake his death
