Bit Club Network - bitclubnetwork.com
Here is the thread started by Brian Spatola (big time ponzi pimp) on the MMG forum
Board Message
This is also being pimped by some other MAJOR scamming pimps such as Strosdegoz, Ken Hammond and T. LeMont Silver!
Here is a great review by Oz at behindmlm: BitClub Network Review: Zeek Ponzi veterans at it again...

Re: Bit Club Network - bitclubnetwork.com
Hello. My name is Steve, I am a Vice President and I work for the Federal Reserve Bank for over 30 years. I personally know Brian Spatola and find him to be a very honest person. Calling Brian a "ponzi pimp" I find to be a very inappropriate statement.
-
Re: Bit Club Network - bitclubnetwork.com
Then why does he live on a messageboard that only promotes scams and joins scams with other known scammers?
How will his involvement in ZeekRewards and the clawbacks due to it being a ponzi (hence, he promoted it and that makes him a pimp), affect his recent $550,000 house purchase?
What does allegedly being a vice president of a federal reserve bank have to do with your ability to evaluate people and their character? You are clearly incorrect so it has no bearing whatsoever.
Even more interesting is how you would even know to come here to defend him.
-
Re: Bit Club Network - bitclubnetwork.com
Does joining an online program or promoting a program that fails make you a scammer. Hmm. Not sure if I agree. If he was the Admin then I could see that claim as valid.
-
Re: Bit Club Network - bitclubnetwork.com
When it is a scam it sure does. Just because scammers call it a 'program' doesn't mean it's not a scam (as much as they like to think it makes it somehow legit). What exactly did he do in the way of due diligence to determine it wasn't a scam? Why does he hang out on a known scam messageboard? What have you done to vet his honesty?
-
Re: Bit Club Network - bitclubnetwork.com
Whip: wow. Thought this was a fair message board. Clearly it is not. I think I am good judge of character since I manage large operations and work with monetary policy. You kind of learn these things over the years. Again, I have know Brian for a long time and I personally vouch for him.
-
Re: Bit Club Network - bitclubnetwork.com
It is fair. Just because you say he's honest doesn't mean he is as proven by the scams he's involved in - hence, you are proven wrong. Are you denying he's not involved in scams and ponzi zchemes? Just because you say you do what you do doesn't make it so. I'm the president of the united states. Prove me wrong.
You seem to be avoiding siimple questions posed that can help you make your case.
Exactly how did you manage to find an obscure anti-scam board with your "friend's" name on it?
What did he do to vet ZeekRewards and determine it was not a scam that he joined anyway?
Since you allege to be almighty and powerful in the banking/integrity fields, what did he show you about zeekrewards that you thought it would be a good idea for him to join? He did consult you didn't he? Seeing you're his good friend and all.

Re: Bit Club Network - bitclubnetwork.com
Sure, what did the Federal Reserve *really* say about Bitcoin?
large irrelevant in the near future as currency due to existing payment processor's economy of scale.
isn't it an criminal offense to impersonate a Federal official?
Quote:
18 U.S. Code § 912 - Officer or employee of the United States
Whoever falsely assumes or pretends to be an officer or employee acting under the authority of the United States or any department, agency or officer thereof, and acts as such, or in such pretended character demands or obtains any money, paper, document, or thing of value, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.
Very serious, man. VERY serious. Tsk tsk tsk.
A "Federal Reserve Vice Chairman" to visit a no-name message board to defend a no-name HYIP claiming to be a bitcoin mining op. Hahahahaha. I have a better chance of being struck by lightning.
-
Re: Bit Club Network - bitclubnetwork.com
Now if you say "Liberty Reserve" (that outalwed Costan Rican exchange) Vice Chairman I may believe you. :D
-
Re: Bit Club Network - bitclubnetwork.com
Even if he is what he says he is, it means nothing to the topic at hand. Just another smokescreen much like his scammer friend uses to avoid the true topic which doesn't say much for him anyway.

Welcome to RS.
I found your statement most interesting since you claim to be a Vice President and have worked for the Federal Reserve Bank for over 30 years. Personally I don't believe a word of what you claim about your working for the Federal Reserve Bank let alone for over 30 years.
What I do believe is that you are making an attempt to try to convince us that you are who you claim you are and we should immediately stop exposing your friend Brian Spatola based solely on your claim of position. Try again.
Prove you are who you say you are and give us your full name, office phone number and address. Otherwise you are just another shill trying to defend another shill. I look forward to your proving me wrong about you.

Really? Check out his Ripplin thread in closed section Money Maker Group. 5 seconds of a Google search showed anyone rational the gang behind Ripplin had gone scam in every program they had started. Your "very honest person" led many into that program and defended it over and over . MOST never got a single payout..(even the ponzi pimps)
As an aside: its I WORKED. Hard to believe someone with such "experience" makes that type of error.

1st
Judging from multiple common english as second language errors in his posts...."Federal Reserve Bank" (where he worked for 30 years) is a restaurant somewhere outside the USA.
He washed dishes as he built up $ for his next ponzi try at untold riches.
2nd
With the salary and contacts built for 30 years in a Fed. Reserve Bank position you DONT need cheezy money games.

Hey kid, did not your mom tell you not to do stupid things online ?
The only chance you can "work for the Federal Reserve Bank" is if you were a janitor, and I doubt even that :)
So how much did Federal Reserve invest in this ponzi ? :)

The 'banker' I'm sure knows cash gifting is illegal or he wouldn't be in the prominent position he allegedly holds. Seems your 'friend' really, really has a bad run of running into scams thinking they are legitimate 'programs'. lmao! Yeah.....he's not a scammer.

You're entirely correct, of course.
SERIAL ponzi pimp would be better.
IMMORAL serial ponzi, get-rich-quick AND pyramid scheme pimp would be even better
Don't shoot the messenger, Fedman.
If Brian wants to play loose and easy with the law and operate at the fringes of society, you can hardly blame others for pointing it out.

Judging from your grammar and phrasing I find it hard to believe your claim WRT the Federal Reserve...Next contestant!

Re: Bit Club Network - bitclubnetwork.com
Let's not forget Brian's big winner UltimatePowerProfits/GlobalOnline fiasco. Never launched after a year of promises. He was pimping it very hard and I'm sure he got his investment back plus a little more, but as usual the vast majority lost their shirts.
He really can pick them can't he.

I know the Federal Reserve very well. I work with monetary policy and collect antidotal information for the Beige book. I do not know much about your blog or your purpose. It seems very one sided and malicious for the most part. I don't see much real content. It seems most posts only attack those who do not share your same beliefs.
-
Re: Bit Club Network - bitclubnetwork.com
Keep crying all you want. Just because you don't like the facts, doesn't mean it's an attack. scammers use that bullshit all the time. You have yet to post one fact to back up your claim your 'friend' is honest and not the scammer he is. You haven't even answered how you found this obscure messageboard in order to defend your 'friend'. There's plenty of real content here......you just don't like it because it makes you a liar. As well as your 'friend'.
Now, how can the 'program' your friend is in guarantee these kinds of interest returns:

And if they were indeed legal, don't you think heavy hitters like Warren Buffet would be doing this instead of playing the silly games he does with his money in the real world? What does your alleged status with the federal reserve bank have to do with any of this?

With due deference to your obviously sensitive nature, Fedman, but might I take the liberty of calling BULLSHIT ever so politely on your statement.
The word you are looking for is anECdotal and not anTIdotal
As in:
Quote:
The
Beige Book, more formally called the
Summary of Commentary on Current Economic Conditions, is a report published by the United States Federal Reserve Board eight times a year. The report is published in advance of meetings of the Federal Open Market Committee. Each report is a gathering of "
anecdotal information on current economic conditions" by each Federal Reserve Bank in its district from "Bank and Branch directors and interviews with key business contacts, economists, market experts, and others."
I could be entirely wrong, of course.
You may very well be involved in uncovering a serious plot against the members of the Federal Reserve Board involving the secretive administration of poison or even by boring them to death:

But, I think I will stick with: "You're attempting to bullshit us" (and you're really bad at it, as well)

You had to have seen it coming! Post to a site that exposes scams and tell a story that does not make any sense. When it is shown Brian Spatola has a long history of promoting Ponzi schemes you kick and scream like a child being pulled from the candy isle. Bernie Madoff may share his pudding, and play a great game of Bocce Ball, that does not make him a "very honest person".

Here is some "real content", Bitcoin mining appears to be barely profitable at this point, yet your bestie is offering 100% return in 1000 days. If this was anywhere close to being reality no one would be slapping up U-TUBE videos and taking $99 bucks a clip, they would find a heavy to fund the deal.
I am no expert on Bit-mining, hell, I blog from an Etch-A-Sketch and have my 9 year old niece upload my prose. Surely if a nobody like me can see this scam story does not add up, a Federal Reserve Vice President with 30 years experience such as yourself can put together what your friend is peddling...

The problem is Bitcoin mining is NOT profitable. The difficulty of Bitcoin mining goes up by about 15% every 16 or so days. I ran a scenario where I found that if I put in $2000 to buy the MOST efficient hardware available, I will not even make back what I put into it. I will make back about 900$, then by day 110 I won't even make back enough Bitcoins to pay for electricity to run the rig.

Of course, it's quite possible that 'work with monetary policy' means filing them away for 30 years, then rage quit and formed a one-person corp and claim to be VP of his own company.
