That sounds more like a pyramid than a ponzi scheme.

a pyramid scheme actually involves selling something and havint those sales benefit the people who referred you and the people who referred them

this is an investment where you put money in, and get paid out with money put in by people who put their money in after you, so that there is always more money owed than money invested, its the literal definition of a ponzi

If what he says about pornhub is true then he's exactly right and the taboo issue gets thrown in with other charges they won't get to stick for the sole purpose of destroying a persons character.

It'll be interesting to see what type of evident nice they have on him, cookies, actual physical copies, files etc...

I'm pretty sure they can subpoena his ISP for his known IP address(es), and then pornhub for the links accessed from there (if that's actually the road they're going down and he doesn't have his own disgusting personal cache).

probably because it is 6 counts, where they usually do 1 count per offending pic or video, and most of the dudes who legitimately get busted for this have over 100 counts.

I think that intent would have to be looked at. If PH KNOWINGLY put up CP then I would say take it down, there are plenty of other tube sites to fill the void.

Spencers interview on RHAP was really goddamn depressing. If you want to listen to an interview with someone who is soul crushed by Survivor listen to that one. Listening to Spencer talk about the game really gave me second thoughts about even trying to get on the show (not that I would even if I applied). I have really enjoyed all the in depth interviews Rob has done about Cambodia because it really gave some good insight into the show.

Because if Caleb has to be on a season of Survivor at least it's apparently going to be the most grueling season of Survivor.

The offending videos get pulled, the offending submitter gets banned, if the videos were from a studio they get fined to hell and back and potentially have arrests made.

He got crazy obsessive over a girl in the house who wanted nothing to do with him ala Brandon Hantz 'cept "at the end of the day" he was just a harmless oaf with muscles.
Caleb was also loyal to a fault in addition to being a dimwit.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

aidoru posted:

What was the deal with Caleb? I don't watch Big Brother and can't remember if it was mentioned here before or not.

The big thing early was that he became infatuated with one of the women in the house and ended up creating this whole relationship in his head and kept spinning every minor encounter they had into some grand romantic gesture. Meanwhile she had no idea he was doing any of this and kind of was getting weirded out by his growing crush, which is all she saw it as. Eventually half of the house was hating her as a manipulative person because they assumed Caleb's stories were at least partially true so figured she was leading him on since she made it clear to them she wasn't interested. Eventually someone manipulated Caleb into putting her on the block to teach her a lesson about how much she needed him, but she went home because (a) he had no actual power and (b) she wanted nothing to do with him.

Also he stole her clothes and kissed her while she was sleeping.

Beyond that Caleb is a massive egomaniac and a pathological liar. He made about 100 grandiose claims about how he had founded some popular clothes line or his father owned a huge ranch or he had his choice of reality shows or a million other things. Eventually BB aired a segment where his parents basically confirmed everything he said was some degree of lie or exaggeration and some of the stuff he said about them they couldn't even understand.

He's basically Coach crossed with Brandon Hantz.

And yeah, he's dumb as a box of rocks and loyal as a dog (as long as he isn't in love with you) so he's got "goat" written all over him. If someone figures out to how to manipulate him and encourage him to annoy everyone else he could go far. Especially since he's genuinely a great athlete. His role on BB was basically different players competing to manipulate him as their tool.

Oh, he also said some racist and anti-gay stuff both that mostly happened off show.

Here's a compiled list of his tall tales
http://tamaratattles.com/2014/08/03/big-brother-16-houseguest-caleb-reynolds-spool-of-lies/

And if you got time to kill here's an hour long retrospective of his infatuation.

Like most tube sites, PornHub lets ANYBODY upload videos to their database. However, their TOS says directly that they report anything illegal directly to the FBI.

Sadly, this is going to come up in the new Survivor thread too at some point, which btw we are like a week away from the new season, we need a thread :)

No. It wouldn't. A moratorium against child porn and said discussions means no loving child porn nor said discussions. I really hate to spell it out like this, but we are on the Something Awful forums so I basically assume everybody is an autist. Jesus loving christ.
