01:33	Mocky	oh hey, i didn't have the context for that knapsack challenge when I read it in the logs, had no idea what it meant. meanwhile forgot all about it
01:36	mircea_popescu	lol. kinda how it goes.

10:06	asciilifeform	^ tldr, mexican d00d ran small btc-fiatola house; dragged into usa for gassing.
10:20	mircea_popescu	sucks to be a zek, huh.
10:21	mircea_popescu	anyway, dood didn't get dragged anywhere, he kept crossing teh border.
10:22	mircea_popescu	i guess they're getting pretty desperate, if they're throwing randos in jail in lieu of making good on their usg.bitfinex takeover obligations.
10:23	asciilifeform	mircea_popescu: fwiw they always Officially print 'when crossing the border' (recall the ru d00d kidnapped 'in spain' etc.) it's the new 'shot while escape'.
		↖
10:23	mircea_popescu	simple heuristic : what starts as a scam moves on to http://trilema.com/2015/so-the-broomstick-fired/ "agenture" and then finally on to the inca resting place.
10:23	mircea_popescu	it's the cycle of ourdemocracy scamolade.
10:24	asciilifeform	i'm not convinced that the mexican was zek ( well, until picked up and enzekked )
10:25	mircea_popescu	asciilifeform that may be, but what of 11 In furtherance of this conspiracy and to effect the objects thereof, the following overt acts, among others, were committed: 1. On or about February 8, 2017, at approximately 12:10 a.m., defendant JACOB BURRELL CAMPOS entered the United States from Mexico in possession of $9, 500 in U.S. currency. 2. On or about February 8, 2017, at approximately 10:29 p.m., defendant JACOB BURRELL CA
10:25	mircea_popescu	MPOS entered the United States from Mexico in possession of $9, 580 in U.S. currency. 3 . On ,or about February 9, 2017, at approximately 8: 17 p. m., defendant JACOB BURRELL CAMPOS entered the United States from Mexico in possession of $9, 746 in U.S. currency. 4. On or about February 10, 2017, at approximately 11:52 p.m., defendant JACOB BURRELL CAMPOS entered the United States from Mexico in
10:25	mircea_popescu	24 possession of $9, 580 in U.S. currency. ?
10:25	mircea_popescu	specifically, how do they know ~the dollar amount~ ?
10:25	mircea_popescu	here's a possible theory : this dood went over the border twice to who knows, five times a day for months and fucking months, and they counted his money in front of him every time
10:25	mircea_popescu	eventually had enough of counting.
10:26	asciilifeform	where's the difficulty in producing an arbitrary 'mr chump went into usa with bag of $ x' for any desired value of x
10:26	mircea_popescu	so you think that's not factual ?
10:26	asciilifeform	aha
10:26	mircea_popescu	and they falsified the records, or do the records not even exist ?
10:27	asciilifeform	fwiw i read usg indictments as works of fiction, not particularly different from e.g. trial of lavrentiy pavlovich beria, 'british, french, and japanese spy'
		↖ ↖
10:27	mircea_popescu	the only question is, why isn;'t mr campos here saying this ?
10:27	asciilifeform	they may have occasional droplet of fact, or may not
10:28	mircea_popescu	i only read usg productions as literary fiction when it involves standing members ; otherwise it's liars playing liar. why would i trust CAMPOS more than the system he and his friends created ? or less, for that matter.
10:28	mircea_popescu	there's no such thing as "the innocent zek". inca exists because the zeks exist.
10:28	asciilifeform	mircea_popescu: perhaps he dun have a tcp pipe in the cokemachine chair.
10:28	mircea_popescu	or perhaps he's exactly a shitheel.
10:28	asciilifeform	impossible to say, from my telescope.
