No matter how he came across his info it was good info. There was clearly access from either him or someone close to him.
He could have told everyone that he was a German-American basketball player and no one would have made fun of him. He could have even said he dated someone connected to the program before beginning his transition, and it would have been met with less mockery than the tale of immigrant turns dime and dub bags into bitcoin millions.
I've always loved me some @sonics1993 despite a little hubris
Just imagine how smooth your brain would have to be to consider giving this athletic department 500k. Only scenarios that make remotely any sense to me are you have over 100m and/or just need to burn money so your soon to be ex wife doesn't get it. But what does 500k even do for a department this inept.
If it is Detlef that's even funnier. Why the fuck would he even care? It's kinda pathetic if true.
Detlef wouldn't use that shitty Sonics logo as his avatar. I don't think he would spout the bitcoin story either. I've actually met him a couple times (St. Patty's Day Dash) and he is a really cool guy. Genuinely nice person.

So, Detlef Schrempf has a reputation for being a really cool and genuinely nice person? And you’re questioning why he would pretend to be someone else when posting insider info on a variety of message boards, including the notorious (often mistaken for furry porn) Hardcore Husky dot com? His reasons for anonymity are obvious.
Detlef also works in some kind of wealth management investor type role, meaning he would know what bitcoin is despite being 60 years old but not know the exact details. From having lived the NBA life he would know about dudes who sell weed and do well, but not the exact specifics either.
Why wouldn’t he use that Sonics logo? Maybe he likes it, after all the Germans are the same people who listen to David Hasselhoff and pioneered scat porn. Maybe he even prefers the weasel logo, tastes vary. I like spinach but not peanut butter.
There is a limited number of UW donors in that range and Detlef is one, he joined the Sonics in 1993, is an alum, and is still local. Edit: he also mentioned being an immigrant who went to HS in the US. I wouldn’t have cracked it if he didn’t mention the donation being tied to basketball as well, no one gives a fuck about basketball. It’s him.

@fudgie I hope you’re proud of yourself. Running detlef like that should earn you a trip to the gulag.

I know you're being sarkastic - but it was the Russians who had gulags.
The Germans, well,......I don't want to get banned for calling for genocide.
High-school rewind: The native of Leverkusen, Germany, arrived for his senior year at Centralia, and led the Tigers to the Class 3A (then AA) state championship in 1981.
We looked down our capital city noses at Centralia but that was quite a moment for them. I'm going to let them have it
