A damsel in distress. Plural of Mongoose Update.

Alright. I asked, and we managed to scrape together a few hundred bucks.

Thanks.

This concludes our crowd source funding efforts.

If you want to or pledged to contribute, send me a private message and I'll get you my paypal account and I'm then just going to use that and my rewards points to send get an international money order for Baht from an international bank to post to Nikki and ask that she use it for herself to go and enjoy herself as it seems that really there's no attention paid to her.

She tells me that is completely intentional, she's a very private person and doesn't seek or want any attention, nor does she need any.
Anyone who really knows her knows how she is really disinterested in and about the whole internet tech world. Her privacy is to be respected from here.

I honestly have got to hand it to that woman, she is the most very sweet and caring and loyal person one could meet. You can tell she really believes in her heart that Mongoose is going to manage to figure a way out of this and she's there to support him.

This is all about him, and honestly has nothing to do with her. She's just there to support someone who needs it.

And I totally get that.

I hated to the be the one to tell her that I believe his ticket has already been bought, and there is going to come a day when have to face the reality that there is no way that they are going to let him slip and that she needs to plan for looking after herself.

Right now, that's really not her concern, and she was pretty adamant that it's really not mine, nor really any of ours either.

Right now they've got other issues that they have to tend to. As much as some others would like to pass judgment from the confines of their keyboards, I'm going to leave it alone, wish him well and send over what I can to help them out.

No one really knows what it's like to walk in the other person's shoes.

Well I respect those who are less cynical than I am and who want to help someone out. That's almost never a bad impulse to follow. I hope the best for Tom and Nikki, neither one really deserves what is likely coming.

Just looked at the Western Union instant cash transfer thing, where you'd just send her a code. Charge is about 8 percent. ID needed, but, as you say, she's an innocent so...no real biggie, in the scale of things. Merely an option.

Hello all!

He is getting what he wants? He did say he wanted to fight this he will now have his chance if anyone was going
to cause him harm it would happen in Thailand not traveling on a flight into the US.

I think, he'll get State side and co-operate with the Feds he has information that will tie up loose ends the, Feds love
nothing more then loose ends.

truth be told, the Internet is a tough place to hide because at the end of the day the US gov't holds the beliefs that since they paid to develop the infrastructure through DARPA grants that ultimately, if it involves the telecommunications systems, US Federal law governs it.

He's got a tough journey ahead.

I have missed the part about Thomas Clarks "spokesman" lawyer Kem Kang. http://motherboard.vice.com/read/the-ma ... xtradition" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

He seems to know about Bitcoin, as he is an advisor for the Bitcoin (better. Altcoin) related company Rimbit: https://gust.com/companies/rimbit" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Rimbit seems to be some kind of an altcoin ipo scam. I will check more about this later.

So a lawyer who is involved in a ponzi scheme needs 5700$ to defend Thomas Clark?

But, hey, no obligation - you do what you like with your money... Just let smokes know you've changed your mind in case he's waiting to gather the original promises and forward it on.

I have already sent some via PayPal yesterday with the the note "for Nikki". I don't know why you coming up with this strange comment, but hey, you are free to assume whatever you want.
