Remember the guy who signs for Knots couldn't keep his own Bitcoin secure, likely blames Core Devs for his own mistake, then has the FBI force others to doxx them all. “As part of the investigation into Luke Dashjr’s announced theft of his bitcoins, I received a subpoena from the FBI wanting information about attendees of the October 2022 CoreDev Atlanta event in the days before TABConf 2022,” said Schmidt, in an email screenshot posted Wednesday by mikeinspace, a pseudonymous X user. “I was legally advised to cooperate.” Schmidt, who confirmed with The Block that he sent that email, said in the message to attendees that he had provided the FBI with their first and last names, GitHub usernames and email addresses. Schmidt also said that the FBI demanded that he not disclose the subpoena for a year, which expired shortly before he sent out the email. https://www.theblock.co/post/287939/fbi-luke-dashjr-btc-hack

When was it proven someone swiped his keys? If I made an epic mistake I wouldn't contact the FBI to target individuals who had nothing to do with my mistakes simply because they were at an event. Has his actions resulted in anything other than other people's lives being intruded? Imagine being contacted by the FBI everytime someone else lost their bitcoin.

To be fair, the state monopolizes the ability to enforce contracts and remedy injuries like fraud and theft. They also monopolize travel, ambulance, fire, etc in many places. I don't like this reality. There is nothing wrong for using these things for legitimate ends. They break your leg and then give you a crutch.

It's not verified that Luke wanted the FBI to doxx anyone. Government agents will take practically every opportunity to harass people they get. But that's not the point. The key thing is that you're sidestepping the entire argument of the Knots supporters to spread irrelevant FUD. You will never address the arguments honestly because you are a fundamentally dishonest person.
