EXPOSING THE BUFFALO CLUB: SHOCKING EVIDENCE LINKS BROCK PIERCE, OTHER BITCOIN INVESTORS TO MARC COLLINS-RECTOR

This post should be considered a follow-up to the great investigative work that has been done thus far regarding Brock Pierce's questionable associations:

"The Shady History of Brock Pierce" by u/howmanyproxies - http://pastebin.ro/cs5Lr0gO

"More Proof Savegox.com Is A Sham" by Phinnaeus Gage on bitcointalk.org - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=590970.0

On Sunday, BuzzFeed published an article examining Brock Pierce's past association with convicted pedophile con-man Marc Collins-Rector.

(Source: http://www.buzzfeed.com/nicolasmedinamora/brock-pierce-associate-of-embattled-x-men-director-joins-the)

From the article: "Pierce told BuzzFeed that he hasn’t spoken with Collins-Rector in years, that the man is not involved in any of his businesses in any capacity, and that he does not know anything about his whereabouts."

From an interview several weeks back with TwoBitIdiot: ”I’m not [Rector's] friend and I haven’t interacted or worked with him in years,” Pierce said."

Let's examine that claim a bit, shall we?

***

Phinnaeus was the first to uncover and share the evidence I'm about to dive into. While the above linked posts are essential reading, they overlook/minimize what is perhaps the strangest - and most damning - detail in the very long, very dark case against Brock Pierce.

I'm talking about the extremely creepy Facebook accounts.

Now, I already know what some of you are going to say: "c'mon, I saw that, those accounts are blatantly fake! Most of them were created around 2011-12, a.k.a. the peak of public anger against Brock Pierce and IGE. These pages were probably created by butthurt MMO trolls who wanted to smear Brock and link him to his shady former business partners. After all, the profile for 'Brock Rector' hasn't been updated since early 2013. Case closed!"

These are valid observations, but upon closer examination and extensive research, I've personally concluded that most - if not all - of these Facebook accounts are, at their core, authentic.

I'll provide links and screen captures in a moment, but first let's do a quick overview:

There are a number of semi-private accounts on Facebook that appear to be controlled by Marc Collins-Rector, Chad Shackley, Brock Pierce, and several other IRL individuals. I have counted 14 accounts in total in this private circle of friends, 9 of which are currently active to this day. I've taken to calling them the Buffalo Club, and you'll soon see why.

Before we start, a small disclaimer: the information I'm about to share with you is drawn only from the PUBLIC content of these profiles. There is far more activity (and potential evidence) on these profiles, but their privacy settings are restricted, so we're stuck with analyzing the bits and pieces that are public. Lucky for us, there's still quite a bit to look at.

Let's start with the most active of the accounts, the ringleader himself:

MARC RECTOR - https://www.facebook.com/marc.rector.1

Currently active since July 2012

Location: Marbella, Spain

Cross-reference his profile picture with his 2002 mugshot. Factor in 12 years of aging and lots of hardcore boy parties, and I'd say that's a definitively authentic picture of MCR. He lists his current home as Marbella, Spain - the same place where he, Brock, and Chad were arrested in 2002 while sitting on a mountain of "guns, machetes, and child porn", according to police. Rector gives his location away multiple times as "Marbella, Spain" or areas in the vicinity.

Rector has been a very busy boy on the FB lately. He just returned from London (where he stayed at the Ritz) a few days ago, and as of today he has posted a picture of Barcelona.

https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=316851775133061&set=a.170876866397220.1073741918.100004247222228&type=1&theater

London: http://imgur.com/5y4FAzR

Barcelona: http://imgur.com/C7Hkhh8

He also has quite an *odd* sense of humor, one which seems to be shared by everyone in the group.

What stands out most of all are the constant references to a certain "Buffalo JA". This group LOVES giggling about Buffalo JA in their posts. But wtf IS Buffalo JA?

See if you can figure it out:

….lol indeed.

Rector's first publicly viewable post was in July 2012: "compro un condominio". For those who don't speak Spanish, that means "Bought a condo."

Shortly after, he was "reencuentro con viejos amigos" in Marbella, Spain.

Translation: "reuniting with old friends." Oh, but WHICH friends, Marc?

Let's find out.

BROCK RECTOR - https://www.facebook.com/brock.rector

Currently active since September 4, 2012

Location: Unspecified (but perhaps we can guess…)

A few things strike the visitor right off the bat. He goes by Brock "Rector" in this world. Is that a joke, or did MCR and Brock exchange vows at some point?

Note the profile picture. There's no denying that's Brock Pierce. What's interesting is that Google Images turns up ZERO record of that picture appearing anywhere else (same goes with Rector's profile pic). This means that, if these profiles were made by a troll, where the hell would they get this exclusive cell phone picture of Brock? Why wouldn't they just use one of the hundreds of easily downloadable images of Brock on Google?

Unless, of course, Brock himself uploaded this picture from his own personal collection.

And while it's true that Brock hasn't publicly posted anything to his wall since March 2013, he still likes and comments on posts from other members of the gang. He's been liking Marc Rector's posts today, as a matter of fact.

http://imgur.com/C7Hkhh8

Also noteworthy is the proud display of Satanic alchemy symbols on his cover art. As you will see below, this is a major recurring motif for the Buffalo Club.

What the symbol is: https://plus.google.com/communities/101652427788093603625

Like Marc, Brock loves to post bizarre, creepy shit on his page. And the gang eats it up!

http://imgur.com/k4XL1kE

Last but not least, this is the first public post on Brock's page in 2012. All you Pierce h8ers out there will surely choke on the abundant irony: http://imgur.com/ik0DHal

This gentleman is actually Ken Rutkowski, LA-based host of Business Rockstars on CBS Radio and founder of METal International, an investor group based out of Santa Monica.

It turns out that Ken and Brock go back at least a few years.

Here's a clip of Brock and Ken speaking at a METal gathering back in July 2010:

Here's another METal event featuring Brock in 2012:

And another in 2013:

And last but not least, guess who had Brock as a guest on his show just last month?

http://businessrockstars.com/upcoming-guests.html

They are, unsurprisingly, friends on their public FB accounts as well:

This guy is an interesting case. He has the DIA (Defense Intelligence Agency) logo on his page, and his profile pic looks like an intelligence agent straight out of central casting. Turns out there's a reason for that.

After running his pictures through Google Images, I discovered his true identity: Michael Kaliski, a struggling-actor-turned CEO of Good Planet Media, Hollywood's first green product placement company: https://www.facebook.com/goodplanetmedia

Here's his IRL Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/mkaliski

Basically, they work with film and TV productions to include healthy and/or sustainable products on screen. An admirable goal, to be sure, and they've been on quite a roll lately.

Meeting with "a Senator" last September: http://imgur.com/TWOrroR

Here's a writeup about him in the Producers' Guild magazine, 2012: http://imgur.com/AtLwsZL

And as it happens, Kaliski was also a guest on (wait for it….) Ken Rutkowski's Business Rockstar show in 2012! What are the odds!

The link to that episode is dead, but here's proof: http://imgur.com/4g8ledG

Oh, but that's not all. Check out Michael Kaliski's AngelList profile: https://angel.co/mkaliski

Without even expanding his list of followers, we see three very familiar faces: Brock Pierce, Ken Rutkowski, and William Quigley (Pierce's co-investor in various BTC projects). Look a little closer and you'll see another name: Autumn Radtke.

For those who don't know, Radtke was the CEO of First Meta (a digital goods exchange involved in the BTC world) who was found dead in Singapore on February 26th of this year. Two days later, Mt. Gox suddenly filed for bankruptcy. The death was originally reported as a suicide, and news reports stated that she was found in her apartment.

The Singapore papers told a different story: she was actually found on the roof of a ground level garbage dump. The last person to see her alive was Steve Beauregard, who co-owns GoCoin with Brock Pierce. He had been renting a room in her house for several months. As of now, the police have ruled it an "unnatural death".

http://multimedia.asiaone.com/multimedia/gallery/bitcoin-trader-ceo-found-dead-top-rubbish-collection-point

Autumn and Brock were very good friends: https://www.facebook.com/brockpierce/posts/10152654948727782

http://dailyentertainmentnews.com/tv/autumn-radtke-american-bitcoin-firm-ceo/

Sadly, her death continued a grim trend of mysterious financial industry deaths and suicides in 2014: at least 12 so far this year.

http://intellihub.com/another-banker-jumps-building-nyc-12th-banker-suicide-year/

http://americablog.com/2014/02/twelve-deaths-eight-months-suicide-otherwise-among-ceo-classes.html

http://www.slate.com/blogs/future_tense/2014/03/05/bitcoin_ceo_suicide_not_so_fast_first_meta_s_autumn_radtke_is_dead_but_we.html

As for Steve Beauregard, co-founder of GoCoin with Brock Pierce? Well, his brother John Beauregard has been hitting the bitcointalk forums hard today, lashing out at the people who are revealing information about Brock. (John tried to flame them anonymously; it didn't work out)

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=605160.0

Back to the point, though: it's safe to say that Kaliski has an interest, perhaps even some involvement, in the burgeoning Santa Monica BTC scene, and is proven to personally know Ken Rutkowski. It's not a very big leap to conclude that he has been introduced to Brock Pierce at some point over the past few years.

Moving on...

Phinnaeus managed to out this guy. His real name is Jason Emmelkamp, a tech bro and former World of Warcraft power player based out of Sydney. His nom-de-Warcraft is Wast3gat3.

So what's Emmelkamp up to these days? Well, he just so happens to be the CEO of Bit Secured, a new Bitcoin startup based out of Sydney.

Not much else can be gleamed off of the secret FB profile at the moment. I recommend keeping an eye on Bit Secured and see if they get any investor attention over the next few months…maybe from the Bit Angels?

This profile is mostly private and yields very little info, except for one thing:

It's motherfucking Chad Shackley, y'all.

Proof: http://i.imgur.com/RhX8loM

For those who don't know, Shackley was Rector's ex-boyfriend and 3rd musketeer in the boy rape extravaganza known as DEN Entertainment. He was arrested along with Rector and Pierce by INTERPOL agents in Spain back in 2002, and his whereabouts have been unknown for quite some time.

I didn't even notice this at first, but Kevin seems to have taken Marc's OTHER surname, Colins, as his own. How sweet.

MATTHY RONMNEY - https://www.facebook.com/ronmneymatthy

Currently active since 2012 (exact join date is protected)

Location: Unknown

Has an FBI seal as his cover art. He has uploaded pictures of Puerto Banus, the main nightlife area in Marbella, Spain.

Strangely, the picture he's using is of one Joshua Wright, a Hollywood stuntman who died in a motorcycle accident in October 2013.

https://www.facebook.com/pages/Light-A-Candle-In-Memory-Of-Joshua-Wright/216000075241456

While I haven't been able to establish any firm links yet, it is *possible* that "Matthy Ronmney" (obviously a fake name) is in fact Matt Rector, Marc's younger brother. It was Matt Rector who initially filed IGE's incorporation papers in the U.S. back in 2002, so there's a proven involvement with the Gang in his past.

DAKOTA KIDMAN - https://www.facebook.com/kidmandak

Currently active since 2012 (exact join date is protected)

Location: Unknown

I suspect this profile is using both a fake name and picture.

The profile picture of the girl can be traced back to a 16-year old Ukrainian model named Alina Dichkova, who shot these pictures in Crimea with her boyfriend in 2011.

http://monikayork.blogspot.com/2011/09/blog-post_06.html

No connection can be found at this point. Dichkova's public social media presence doesn't show any evidence of traveling to Spain or interacting with English-speaking people. This photo made the rounds on Tumblr two years ago, so it's possible that it was selected at random by the owner of the account. (After all, the Rector Gang isn't really into teenage girls, amirite?)

It should be noted, however, that if you look at Dakota Kidman's tagged pics, a number of them have likes from Brock, Marc, Matthy, and Robin.

"Dakota" also seems to be the only one in the group whose profile is publicly linked to a ton of public users outside of the Club.

A newcomer, but long on enthusiasm. He too has the DIA logo as his cover art, as well as the INTERPOL logo in his pics.

Screen grab: http://imgur.com/fSSLGsb

He just posted "We continue working in Marbella!" on Marc's wall post about London just yesterday. (Brock said "best regards, David!")

Working on what, exactly? And is he INTERPOL or not? WTF?

His public profile is bare bones, but he has a Satanic/Illuminati-esque symbol as his profile picture.

Interestingly, he was tagged in Marc's "meeting with old friends" post in Marbella back in 2012.

If this is real, then at least we know this guy is an "old friend" of Rector.

Uses the same Satanic symbol as Oconor for a profile pic. Junior's profile is nearly identical to Oconor's. Same occult imagery, same friends, same join dates and they both dropped off the map at around the same time in 2013.

Worth noting - s/he is not tagged in the "meeting with old friends" post from 2012.

The least active member of the club by far, he doesn't even have a profile pic - in fact, his account is a business page rather than a "personal" one.

The only public posts on his page are exultations of joy from the gang: Matthy and Dakota both say "Hello escort!!!". Brock, Marc, and Chad chime in as well.

Since he's now inactive, one *COULD* infer that Lopez was a male escort who spent some happy time with the group in Marbella last year, but has since moved on.

SOME FINAL THOUGHTS

There's more to dig through, so consider this a jumping-off point.

Who the fuck are all these people? Who/what is Buffalo JA? If Marc Rector's account is authentic, why do the FBI and mainstream news outlets keep lazily reporting that his whereabouts have been "unknown for years"? If the accounts of the LA-based businessmen are authentic, what the hell are they doing chatting with Marc Collins-Rector on Facebook?

If skeptics out there have a theory for how all these profiles could be fake, I would honestly love to hear it, but please don't try that "it must be MMO trolls" excuse.

There is zero reason to include people like Kaliski, Rutkowski, and Emmelkamp in this bizarre little FB group if it were all a massive joke to smear Brock over his IGE shenanigans.

As for people pissed at him over Bitcoin, that controversy is roughly two months old at best. Trolls aren't time travelers.

To summarize:

KEN RUTKOWSKI is a radio host and active member of the LA tech startup scene.

He has had both BROCK PIERCE and MICHAEL KALISKI as guests on his program over the past few years. Brock Pierce has been on several times, most recently this past April.

These gentlemen (via their shadow accounts) are all friends on FB with Marc-Collins Rector, Chad Shackley, and several others who haven't been identified…yet.

These profiles were not all created at the same time, but sporadically between 2012 and 2014. 9 out of the 14 - including Marc, Brock, Ken, Kevin (Chad S.), Robin (Michael K.), and Neuman (Jason E.) - are still very, very active.

This is one hell of a joke if it isn't real.

But if it is…

All of the men I just mentioned have either 1. some form of involvement in BTC and start-up investment, mostly in Los Angeles, or 2. a long history of association with Marc Collins-Rector. Brock has both, which makes him the bridge that connects the Santa Monica tech scene and Mark Collins-Rector. Knowing Brock's history of financial shenanigans and misappropriated company funds, who's to say that Rector isn't a silent partner in Brock's multiple BTC investments?

As a matter of fact, Brock's estranged partner in IGE - Debonneville - alleged just that in court while suing Brock for fraud. He alleged that Rector had been a factor at various points in IGE's history, and that Brock was secretly diverting company funds to pay off his, Shackley's, and Rector's child rape lawsuits back in the states.

http://virtuallyblind.com/files/debonneville_pierce_amended_complaint.pdf

Pierce settled with Michael Egan (the man suing Bryan Singer right now) for an undisclosed amount and a permanent gag order.

Pierce settled with Debonneville for an undisclosed amount and a permanent gag order.

It appears that Brock's investor buddies at Goldman Sachs might've taught him a thing or two about self-preservation.

And why do four of these people have USGOV logos plastered all over their profiles? Why is each one "liked" by Brock, Chad, and Marc - three guys WHO GOT ARRESTED BY INTERPOL twelve years ago? Are they really such big fans of the very law enforcement people that threw them in jail, ("for no reason", according to Brock's latest version) or is something else - something stranger and deeper - going on here?

I don't need to go into detail about the suspicious business moves that Brock has been making in the BTC world lately.

As the well-intentioned but naive Two Bit Idiot pointed out, "Brock could pretty much set up a closed-loop bitcoin ecosystem at this point, if he wanted to." He already has GoCoin, KnCMiner Asia, RoboCoin Asia, and more in his well-lined pockets, with a leadership position in the Bitcoin Foundation to boot. He tried to buy himself an exchange with SaveGox last month.

Call me Mr. Skeptical, but I suspect that building a closed-loop Bitcoin ecosystem is EXACTLY what Brock Pierce wants to do.

If I were to get a little more speculative than that, I'd say the USGOV would sleep mighty well knowing a rampant pedophile and career scam artist like Brock Pierce is the public face of Bitcoin…talk about leverage, man!

***

Last but not least:

Let us never forget that Marc Collins-Rector is a disgusting, vile sociopath who has been convicted in a US court of law for trafficking boys across state lines to rape them and let other powerful, rich men rape them - all the while dangling the promise of fame in their tear-streaked faces. He threatened them with guns, drugged and raped them, treated them like pieces of meat, and fled the country without ever paying a dime of the settlement money he owed.

Rector also tricked some of the top people in finance, business, and tech to give him and his two teenage partners EIGHTY MILLION DOLLARS for an ambitious but completely half-assed idea for a company. The entirety of DEN's existence was, it seems, simply a pretext to rake in as much money and lure in as many young rape victims as possible before anyone could figure out what the hell was going on, and then split before the SEC or FBI came knocking.

My point is this: Marc Collins-Rector is the fucking Terminator of raping under age boys. It's what he does. IT'S ALL HE DOES.

And all evidence from the years 1998-2003 points to the conclusion that Brock Pierce learned pretty much everything he knows about the fundamental ethics of business from Rector, a dangerous and sociopathic child rapist. You would have to be COMPLETELY naive to think that Pierce had nothing to do with Rector's various crimes, based on the torrent of lawsuits that hit both of the young lads.

Think about it: if, as an innocent 19 year old, you got a great job working for a hot tech startup, only to have the whole company collapse because your boss was allegedly raping underage boys…what would your reaction be?

Would you denounce this sick fuck, dust yourself off, and try to move on with your life? Or would you flee the country with him and his boyfriend, and live with them in their Spanish mansion for two years until the cops caught you with a big ol' stash of guns and child pr0n?

If you picked option #2, congratulations! Your name is Brock Pierce.

He's a slick talker, I'll give him that. But he also MIGHT be a quietly disturbed, child-raping con artist who has made a lucrative career bilking millions from doe-eyed investors who, time and again, are too excited about the moon to do their due diligence. His resumé demonstrates this again, and again, and again. How fucking stupid are the members of the Bitcoin Foundation who voted this individual into a leadership position?

I'll leave you with one last pic that might serve as a moral reminder to the "oh who cares, it was 15 years ago" crowd.

Look closely: http://imgur.com/mgWPtHR

Zoom in, and you'll see a man waving to the camera (presumably held by Marc Rector). The man is holding in his arms a small boy, no older than five years old. A five year old boy in the care of Marc Collins-Rector - comforting thought, innit?

My point is there's a distinct possibility that the crimes of 15 years ago didn't stop 15 years ago. Go ahead and sleep on that, Brock Pierce apologists. There is at least a 50/50 chance you're supporting a serial child rapist and fraudster as your leader, just cuz he talk smart and smile purdy. Newflash: that's what actors are paid to do. Perhaps some of you skeptics don't understand what a scum hole Los Angeles - and particularly Hollywood - can be. If you had lived out there for a spell, you wouldn't find all these allegations of depravity so surprising.

I'll let the conspiracy theorists take this one over for now. Hopefully I've given you enough ammunition to dig deeper and uncover what's actually going on in the Bitcoin universe right now.

Fuck all pedos, liars, and scammers to the bloody end. The moon belongs - it MUST belong - to each and every one of us who truly believes in the fucking crypto. Don't let these assholes land on it first.

Sincerely,

lolBuffaloJA <3
