Youve left out quite alot for me. here 2.3 btc he has escrowed for 1 campaign(obits) alltotal master-P has 6.7btc stolen from me

https://talkimg.com/images/2023/06/07/wq0JW.jpeg

You have the 2.2btc he has escrowed for ore mining listed above. But youre missing the 1btc he has escrowed for coinbet24 campaign.


https://talkimg.com/images/2023/06/07/wqlpJ.jpeg

Then theres the 1.5btc he asked me to sell him for paypal funds.

25.21 BTC is equivalent to $10 650 USD
http://www.clipartbest.com/cliparts/dT7/oby/dT7obyqrc.jpeg

The total has now come to 28.28 as stated in the OP and it is around 12000 USD.

This is really sad, a lot of people are getting scammed with bitcoins and scammers are getting away too easily and that bothers me much. Hopefully, Karma will get to them one day if law fails.

master-P is idiot..
I will never sold my acc .. He had income from fees.. i don't know why he sold his account ( or maybe he didn't )

This is the most horrible escrow I've ever seen since I joined on this forum.


I do not know how escrow works techincally

But as far as I know , somekind like :

Publishing sign message ? done

Publishing PGP ? done

and many techincal about escrow done

But why they still capable to scamming ?

How to prevent this happening again & again ?? ( Maidak, master-P , who's next ? )

How about reading first everything then come to conclusion? in this case the real master P sold his account including all private keys for the address that he has used before. People that want to buy a high green trust account might want to use that account for scamming and nothing else

If each of the victims could publicly post an address to send refunds to I would appreciate it. This way we can all monitor the progress (or non-progress) of reparations. If you could please op add these to the original post.

So sad to know that people's tha are very trusted by the community can change reputation from a day to another scamming so many people's and stealing so big amount of coins....that's very sad for the community  :-\

I agree with this. I will post my address along with my PGP signature here soon.

What is the "extra 4.32"? I would somewhat assume that he has at least some amount of BTC that actually belongs to him. So unless there is a substantiated claim on these funds then I would say this amount belongs to him.

Noted, but due to recent developments, I think I would rather wait 2 days and see if the original user is indeed legit, and is planning to refund the money to all affected users. If not, we have all eternity to ask for community support.


You're right. I corrected it.

Removed, per request.

My refund address:


My PGP Signature:

I would hope that everything works out for everyone here... Hopefully all the people can get refunded their hard earned BTC.

I think is very hard for me, money are gone forever and nobody can see back again a single coin  :-\
That's should be a lesson for everyone on trusting others people on this BTC world!

24 Bitcoins are a huge amount nowadays. It seems there is a slight ray of hope now since the second person claiming to be master-P verified himself and claims he will access the wallet to repay everyone.

See: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1306301.msg13398178#msg13398178

Confirmed. Euro_Stacka(along with E-coin team) is the provider of funds for the campaign

hllo, thanks for such an aweome thread, replied to PM as asked. You are doing very nice, but still confused is masterp agreed to pay the scammed amount ?

Its hard to say what is the truth right now, but there is an account that claims to be the real master-P, that the account was not sold, but that their machine was compromised. The wallet however seems to be safe, which makes sense considering that the funds have not moved. They backed their claims with a signed message and are -to the best of my knowledge- currently working on restoring the wallet from an invested system without risking any coins.

24 BTC are a lot of money .... but I think he can still repay all the amount. However the majority (or all) the funds are still in those bitcoin addresses, wait and see.

Considering Master-Ps recent post where he says he can not access his escrowed funds and wants to make repayments, I wanted to post here and make it clear I will not be publicly doxing Master-P, nor do I think it would be helpful in any way at this point. However if after a certain amount of time directly affected individuals are not satisfied with his progress, they can send me transaction ids with signed addresses I will consider releasing that information to them personally for collection purposes. I wish all affected good luck. Sorry it didn't turn out better.

KingZee thanks for making this thread.

I will be able to start paying people back starting Friday or Saturday.

If anyone has not posted a validated proof and a repayment address please do so now. I will use this thread as a reference point to where to send funds to as they come available.

mercy on master-p ? He will keep posting those fucking trolls

I know it's not much because I don't have much liquidity on me right now but here's some partial payments sent to a few of the victims who posted a repayment address in this thread.

https://blockchain.info/tx/3ec2f860d6e7e6aa0c61c8df930fc88afe84f9f11a97f98af2cf2cef300d6ae8

If my steam account wasn't trade locked right now due to me changing my password and everything to resecure it, I'd be able to liquidate my inventory and be able to make more repayments. I just want to show you guys that I am serious and that I will make progress.

I don't have much regard to most people from this community anymore other than the people who got their funds stolen from them by this hacker.

Everyone else who's posting shit to troll and to try to break me down can go fuck themselves  :)

Again, if you haven't submitted a payment address either please post one here or PM KingZee to have it added to the OP so I know where to send funds to as they come available.

I confirm i received .250 thx for the effort here master-p. shitty situation for all involved

I was the first to post my address. Didn't receive anything this time. But, hope to get them soon now that you have started paying back.

For what it's worth

This is my address: 1BiTbABybyRgYZkJm1pzr8w3Tj7PjVTqnN

I am one of the participant of the obits sig campaign:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1272862.msg13126409#msg13126409

I would say that the company you are advertising for should probably pay you directly and master-P refund that company (if the company does not pay you then master-P should instead pay you)....

I will be sending the funds that the campaign managers had in the escrow wallet directly back to the campaign managers or their respective owners.

I don't have much right now but I'll be able to pay more and more over time. Just wanted to try to show you guys that I am serious about paying people back out of my own pocket.

I confirm that 0.34 BTC out of 2.8 BTC has been sent to the refund address: https://blockchain.info/address/38tXxJREPNJHxZZ34MqY4JT7ntgR4PdoDD

Good luck with that. So you were serious after all. Thanks for trying and let's hope all of this works out

lots of progress going on. hope everything is going to be fine.

If I had accessed to the funds I would've been able to repay everyone already since last night. No, it is not me. But it doesn't matter what I say because people are convinced that I am a liar and a scammer.

Whoever is doing all of this is clearly paying attention to these threads and is doing things to further discredit me so I get thrown under the bus for all of this shit.

As far as I can tell those funds in my escrow wallet are long gone, including whatever I had in my tipping address. I'm purely paying you people back with money out of my own pocket.

Fine then. I am just monitoring all addresses in case they're sent to somewhere controllable. So now we'll wait for you to make the refunds to everyone.

master-p, you're an asshole. Not a very smart asshole, mind you. Why did you move the funds right after I called you out? I hadn't even posted the screenshot evidence yet and you started running. It's obvious it was you. Stop denying it. Some of the funds you just moved just came from the same address that I was able to link to your genius at work.


What a cock gobbling asswipe. He moved the funds BEFORE I posted the evidence. He KNEW what dirt I was digging up.

https://blockchain.info/tx/32d73b16d3512ad11e467b814785127e9f9d77f2b2becce773d739da1b358c02

http://s17.postimg.org/nsx561ofz/masterp7.png

You people keep trying to piece things together without 100% solid evidence. I don't care if you people don't believe my side of the story. Whoever set me up has done a damn good job and I wouldn't be surprised if it were the people here trying so hard to discredit me who are behind it.

I didn't move any of the coins, I don't have control of the coins anymore. Unless you can prove that I control the coins then please fuck off.

I wish I had money on hand to be able to pay everyone what they've been scammed but I don't, so you guys will just have to be patient with me.

Not patient? Ok then go ahead and dox me. Doesn't change anything.

I'm done dude. It's now here for the world to see what you've done. Pay everyone back, get it off your conscience, and move on.

Please repay me back at 19nbMVsnnzzbHtkx2Y1AzVCqeApkyUv4RQ

Obviously we cannot prove that you have moved the funds because you made a wallet just now. :-\


Why are you always telling about your dox? no one is asking about it till now. ::)

I'll have more funds in 2 days to send more payments to the victims.

peonminer has been added to ignore.

because that of course will make the evidence go away, good job buddy


well then... looks like teh end

has anyone tracked the origin of the 0.84 BTC that has been returned?

Damn... year 2015 almost done and gonna change into 2016

Because of this awfull incident, some people may can't celebrate new year eve normally  :-\

Master-P sent funds to bittrex and if someone wanted to contact them then they might be able to freeze his funds -- I know that BTC-e has a history of doing this.

edit: it appears that I may have made a mistake while on my phone. I believe the btc was actually sent to bitstamp

How do you know that it was bittrex?

I'm still pretty unconvinced about your story, but just in case, here's my proof I sent in pm to KingZee already

http://imgur.com/a/mnT6b

What was that? It was just a normal question I asked

This is better :


https://www.blockseer.com/addresses/3Qh2AA1FW4VjEjZ5QMx82hTuivfKep5Dj8

I think it would be wise at this juncture to set up a payment plan. Go over your budget and decide how much you can afford to pay each week, then stick to that number. I think this would go a long way to convincing everyone of your positive intent here as well as make sure this is solved in a timely but realistic & reasonable time frame.

I know it may not be much but I can afford to send 0.4 - 0.5 per week, maybe more on some weeks. I wish I had the money to afford to pay everyone in a shorter amount of time but I don't have that much money on me right now.

I've already went ahead and ignored all the trolls and people who are clearly only posting in these threads for the sake of entertainment. I will try to keep communication with those who had funds stolen from them by the hacker. If you haven't already provided a payment address, please post it here in this thread and contact Kingzee to add it to the OP so I can refer back to it easier.

In other words, you want to take a year to pay people back.

So you are agreeing to keep to a payment schedule of .5 BTC per week? Please be specific, and stick to that number. I think at this rate you would be better off getting a loan, because if BTC goes up you are royally fucked. In spite of your beliefs, you are actually 100% legally liable for these funds, and you could easily be held civilly liable for it meaning they could take everything you own, not to mention criminal liabilities. You might want to rethink a loan.

I refuse to take out a loan for this.

I can afford 0.4 per week. I will try to pay more if money comes available from liquidating certain assets but that is the best I can do at this time.

If everyone thinks this is unacceptable then go ahead and dox me. I am already trying my best.

I am just saying getting a loan is in your own personal best interest whether you realize it or not. That $12k could easily become $50k, then what are you going to do? Then they really will take everything you own. Don't let this relatively minor fuck up become a life mistake.

He's right. An amount of .4 per week makes me doubt your integrity, plus I already told you, the longer this takes, the worse for you it will become. Your personal data is bound to become public in a few weeks, some people are already looking, a lot of users on the forums have it, and many more are asking for it.

An amount of .4 every 2 days would be much more suitable, and you obviously can come up with that amount.

Sorry, I can't. I have to eat too unfortunately.

I will obviously try to pay at a faster rate whenever it becomes possible, I just didn't want to overshoot my estimated budget for this to cause any further disappointment.

If you're unhappy about this then maybe you can ask TECSHARE for my dox and you can go ahead and take action against me. I'd like to see you try to come up with $10k+ after getting hacked just because an online community is telling you that you're liable and that you should be paying everyone out of your own pocket. I'm willing to bet the majority of the people here wouldn't give two shits and just ignore the accusations.

I wish I could have an extra $100 per day, how do you figure he can "obviously" acquire that much?

I certainly agree his 0.4 per week schedule is extremely slow but I'm not sure why your so confident it could be that much faster. I also agree a personal loan would be in everyone's best interest before things get out of hand.

give up your hack story already LOL

and maybe stop spending 90 hours a week gaming - you should be able to get a min wage job to turn that into ~1 BTC at least

He paid the first amount of .84 in 2 days, he paid the second amount of .6 in the next 2 days. Going backwards into the address shows an amount of 2BTC+ transacted just today, and he said that he has a highly valuable steam inventory. Liquidity is obviously not a problem here.


Anyhow, I can't do anything against you for now, so I can only wait. I may indeed ask TECSHARE for your docs. I just wish I could believe that you were hacked, but I just can't get myself to. Even if you were indeed hacked, it's partially your fault. An escrow and long time user of your position shouldn't take security lightly. So that's that, looking forward to your next payments, and I apologize if I lose patience, because I probably might.

Posting in this thread because I was enrolled in the ecoin campaign at the time of master-P's exit scam. I posted feedback to his profile on 2015-12-29. I had only been enrolled in the campaign for one week, but it caused me some incovenience having been promised he was trustworthy escrow.

That amount of funds was from Circle that I had purchased with whatever money I had available at the time.



Yes I can liquidate my steam inventories but that would take around a month before those funds are converted to BTC. Reason being my Steam accounts were "hacked" but luckily assets were not compromised thanks to SteamGuard. But unfortunately Steam locks my account from trading for 2 weeks after I changed the e-mail, password, and everything after I re-secured my Steam accounts. Once I am able to trade/sell I will be able to start liquidating. Then after that it will probably take another week or two before I can start converting the funds from steam wallet into BTC.

I don't make enough money to be able to pay back anywhere near 0.4 every few days, sorry. I wish I did but unfortunately for all of us, I don't. I may reconsider taking out a loan at a later date but as of now I would rather not, sorry.

I have been the only person giving you a fair chance here from the get go, so please take me at my word when I say you are in fact under the law 100% responsible for those funds. I am not just making shit up to scare you into paying. If BTC goes up, you are fucked and they WILL take everything you own. Any time you exchange something of value you automatically enter into a contract, regardless of paperwork being involved. Under the absolute best scenario you will spend years in court and probably pay much more just to cover your ass. A loan is 100% in your best interest. Pretty soon you will have no choice in the matter. Make the right choices while you still can.

Though I'm skeptical of his story, the fact that he showed back up here is a good sign, I think.  I'm not sure what to think, so I think I'm just going to shut the fuck up and watch for a while.

Oh, I'd also like to mention that I donated 0.01 btc to Yahoo so that he could pay some of the campaign people.

I wouldn't mind getting that back though I'm not hopeful and it's not priority.

If you are refusing to take out a loan, then you are saying that you are refusing to repay everyone in full.

You could easily take out a $12,000 loan with payments of say $172 per week and then use the proceeds of that loan to repay those who you have stolen from. The difference between you taking a loan from the bank and you repaying your victims over time is that it is much easier for a bank to take legal action against you then it is for each of your individual victims to.

Kind Regards

Thanks for the motivational tip Quickseller. Way to give him more reasons not to pay so you can verbally condemn him. A+

You know, I'm not trying to be a negative Nancy here, but getting a bank loan to pay back some people on the internet because you got hacked might be difficult to do.  Hell, it's hard to get a car loan from banks if your credit isn't near perfect sometimes.  Just saying.

I recommend you to handover the steam account to someone highly trustworthy here. Who will look into selling the inventory and will pay back. It's better to be safe. So, please hand it over to someone really trustworthy on the forums. TECSHARE, can you help the victims with this?

No thank you. That would be a huge liability to my own account and inventory as well as a huge investment of time. I already wish I had kept my mouth shut about having his dox because everyone has clearly been so appreciative of me coming forward with the information. I know you aren't responsible for this, but you have to understand this is already more of a waste of my time and energy than I care for it to be, and in the end the handful of people who would give a shit will forget about it in a few days. Then some other dildo will accuse me of something and produces zero evidence for the inevitable dramafest that is bitcointalk and none of them will be anywhere to be found.

People spend years here trying to build up reputations that people will trust in a sea of fraud, and they can be destroyed in seconds over the most utter nonsense, and people wonder why the scammers are left to scam, and the staff don't give a shit or get involved in anything that doesn't personally interest them. This place is just an angry torch holding mob now waiting to be pointed like so many lemmings at a target. Its pathetic, and it gets worse every day. I used to love this place because it provided me freedom to interact and trade with people who were of similar mind. Now I am just counting down the days until the 4-chan atoms reach critical mass and the whole forum just implodes in an over 9000 mega-penis blast. This is how communities using much needed disruptive ideology or technology are dismantled, and you with the torches are all helping. The banksters couldn't be more pleased. Continue to cannibalize each other and ignore them FTW.

As far as his steam account, what I suggest is one of the larger victims of this scenario makes a deal with him to resolve his debt in exchange for his discounted inventory of gift games, virtual items, and anything that is tradable, etc. Since the items could easily be reclaimed by filing a fake complaint with Steam, some time would have to pass before the trade is official and permanent. I believe the window is 190 days for Steam last I checked, but I am not 100% positive. I am sure some one else here who trades virtual items on Steam knows. Then it would be up to the individual debt owners to decide what they think the discount on the virtual goods should amount to in order to make up for the hassle of personally selling them on their own time. In my opinion this would be the most efficient approach to this situation.

No, I'd rather sell it on my own as I know the true value of my inventories. Regardless I won't be able to sell anything from my inventory for now due to the 14 day trade lock from changing my password, but it's something I am planning to do in order to be able to pay a more substantial amount in the 3-4 weeks. I don't think I'm obligated to hand over any of my assets for someone else to liquidate just because the community tells me to do so.

when did you change your password?

Dude, I don't think you understand the depth of the shit you are in. People are beating down my doors to get at you, and I am not the only one with your dox. We know who you are and you WILL be held responsible for this regardless of what you believe. You fucked up, bad. Take a moment to let that sink in. You need to be in damage control mode now otherwise this is going to cause you problems for the rest of your life. Swallow your pride and negotiate a deal for the debt. If you like I am willing to help negotiate the value so you get a reasonable settlement. You should be thankful this option is available, because I am about done helping you out here unless you buckle down and do something drastic to prove you are going to fix this in a reasonable time frame. If not something drastic like having your door kicked in and getting thrown in a cell is likely to happen soon after.

Leave that, what about today's payments? You promised to send some money today 2 days back.

Alright, I received 0.2 BTC via TXN ID:

https://blockchain.info/tx/adb92ab20cd7885d233c107bb1af527deecc37b719ca5ddbfae70b8b8ee94647

Mexxer-2 received 0.15 BTC via TXN ID:

https://blockchain.info/tx/b3e76dbd2767811e3b4d29add2b34921035d54add6482fb0685be017b56c31b1

KingZee & yahoo62278 received 0.05 BTC each via TXN ID:

https://blockchain.info/tx/4311a422c46adadbb5a3363c27fd8a4d2650ffa7aa3c594f25af054568e313c1

So, in total, the amount repaid is 0.45 BTC for today.

KingZee please update the OP. I need to be paid 2.8 BTC more. yahoo62278 needs to be paid 6.47 BTC more. You need to paid 0.7 BTC more. mexxer-2 needs to paid 2.38 BTC more.

I would like to see larger than .05 increments sent to me personally. I'm the largest loss on the list and I have campaigns that either need paid out or owners who need refunded that have paid from their pockets since their original escrowed money has vanished.

No offense to anyone else. I'm sure you all want your mine asap

Since Master-P owes the largest debt to you, what do you think about the idea of him handing over his Steam inventory to you as payment on his debt? Of course everyone wants their BTC back, but this would be the fastest way to get it, and even make up for the time wasted selling them by discounting the items appropriately. Is this idea at all viable for you? IMO this is the best chance of getting paid back in a timely manner.

Master P, they're not gonna leave you alone for what, like, 50 weeks it'll take you to pay at this rate?
Somebody's gonna lose his cool & dox you.
The smart thing to do is go to a dice site & bet .4BTC until you make the whole amount back, and then pay back the whole thing.
This way you at least have a chance of not being doxxd.

What do the creditors think?

That's the stupidest idea yet - gambling with what funds you do have to pay back a debt. Please tell us you are trolling.

Not trolling. yahoo62278 is already getting antsy, so if Masterp don't do something quick, he's as good as doxxed. At least this way he has a chance :-\

I think this is basically what G.W. Bush wanted to do with Social Security contributions, so there are definitely people who think this way.  It's a tax upon the mathematically retarded.

Not retarded. It'll take him 50+ weeks to pay everyone back, paying at current rate. Chances of getting doxxd = 100%.

Sure, the odds of winning 20+ BTC starting with just .4 are slim, but slim is better than nothing :-\

Besides, if he loses the .4BTC, he can just tell people he lost & try again next week.
People will forgive him if they knew he lost their money gambling :)

I dont know much about steam or how any of it works so idk if that's a viable option. I also don't know how the owners of the companies I represent would feel since basically almost 5btc is theirs. I would have to message them and see if the idea is acceptable if it was proposed

If you owe someone money but tell them since you don't have it you went to the casino to gamble, YES THAT'S RETARDED. 

Quickseller, you could have posted that with your Panthers alt.  You didn't have to make a new one.

No wonder everybody hates bitcoiners & satoshi split, this really is a poisonous community.
Thanks for the warm welcome, now I don't feel sorry for you at all.
Master p, enjoy the money. They deserve everything they get.
Yes, you too, siameze.

Trace the funds being paid back . . .

You're welcome. Try thinking a little bit before posting retarded ideas and you might find the community a little less toxic next time.  ::)

Wait, bend over the gang wants to consecufuck you before you leave.**

**unless you're a minor, in which case you can probably fuck us with impunity**

Edit: Siameze thank you for making me laugh.

Not like it affects me, thankfully, but ya'll should track who is getting paid and how much... And who's the one deciding who gets paid first?

Just wondering and commenting on shit that isn't my business... but thanks to the internet I can stir the pot with my pretty wooden spoon...

the scammer controls everything who gets paid and how much... ain't it wonderful LOL

also master-scammer refused options that would result in faster payouts such as taking a loan or giving up his steam pngs.

This is exactly what I'm talking about: just when I thought I've seen the most vile and abusive behavior ever (from a character calling himself siameze because he can't even spell his own name correctly), along comes Pharmacist, a devil-worshiping bath salts enthusiast. This drooling degenerate is planning to surprise me with unsolicited buttsecs! Not just by himself, mind you -- him and his disgusting bitcoin butt-buddies! :o

O, and on the off-chance that i'm an innocent underage minor? Why, this twisted pervert expects me to poke his pooper!
How about you just take a seat right over there, Sicko >:(

How about everyone gets paid equally? I didn't receive anything yet in my end...

Wow since you like to make ad-hominem attacks on people, maybe "coltlover" means you like to suck horse dicks, eh?  :D

Yah it's called the Group W bench and I was already sitting on it.  Welcome to bitcoin, hail Satan!

Bitcoin. It starts with foul language, progresses to homosexual rape, and just keeps going and going -- pedophilia, bestiality... just can't restrain yourselves, can you?
Is it any wonder you rob each other all the time, in this danger den of deranged inequity? No, no wonder at all, you can't help it.

P.S. Colts are not for sexual because underage. That's my story and I'm sticking with it.

I was robbed of my virginity here but I've never taken a cent from anyone on this forum.  Except twice when I sold some MyCokeRewards codes to another user.  All that other trust feedback on my profile is bullshit!!

Doesn't really matter anyway since it is not from anyone in default trust, and is obvious retalitory feedback.

Anyway, no more off-topic posts for me. We can start a coltlover is smacktarded thread in off-topic for this. Arguing with idiots is pointless.

But your amazingly asinine remarks are Satan's snares -- one glance at your idiotic typings and I'm helpless; a moth to the flame :(

Hate seeing this. I have been an acquaintance of masterp for a while on just-dice. I hope it gets all worked out.


Edit:



Yes, I was thinking of wrong person. Sorry for posting.

if you mean masterp4 that's a different person

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1272862.msg13420611#msg13420611

I request kingzee to kindly add my address to the OP as master-p owes me 0.18 BTC.

I already have the obits campaign added in. No need for you to post here

I felt the need and until I receive the funds (if ever) I and other participants have all the right to post here, since the campaign owners have decided not to pay any more because according to them they already did (don't blame them!) and you sure as hell are not going to. And seeing as we're at the mercy of master-p, I'll take my chances and post my address whether or not you see the need for it.

Why would he take out a loan (and pay interest) to pay back his victims customers when he has an interest free loan from them.

because he's honest and responsible LOL

obviously the interest isn't the issue here because bitcoin exchange rate could bite him in the ass much more than any bank interest so why would anyone in their right mind take that risk

he's just trying to drag this out cool the marks and abscond with a substantial part of 25 BTC

and the marks are happy to be cooled because something is better than nothing

I suggest the OP make a new self moderated thread, perhaps in the reputation section in order to keep the peanut gallery who are violating the OP posting rules out so the people directly involved can coordinate without digging thru dozens of pages of 4chan like content. I guess completely shitting up the other thread wasn't enough they had to come crap all over the one specifically for the victims too. The usual class I expect from Bitcointalk.

Why not open a scam accusation against those (orbit) that owe you money? If every participants of every campaign would add their address here this would be a confusing mess.

exactly why I said bitbaby didnt need to post here. Apparently in his mind I'm not capable of handling the situation. If the guy took a minute to read the whole situation I think he might see that I've done a damn good job at handling the situation.

I didn't take off with anyone's funds. I contacted all owners and got members paid for all except obits campaign. Obots decoded to take the shit road and not honor payments. Nothing I could do there. The payment for the obits campaign is added into the whole balance owed. All participants addresses are saved from that campaign and if masterp refunds they will be paid.

For now all members in the obits campaign should all tag the owner and open the scam accusation.

Well the other thread seems over-ridden by trolls and people feeding them, here I am again:

PSA: escrow.ms might be(as per his sig, and a few PM convs) willing to refund the "victims" by renting out his signature and distributing those funds
Thank you escrow.ms

Yeah, I know him personally and he is too good a person. No surprise, his good nature brings him to help the people.

Since Master-P is choosing not to reply to my suggestions I am going to begin releasing his information to the victims. If Master-P is holding your funds, PM me with a transaction ID of the funds you sent him, and a signed message from that address (or other proof of transaction), and I will release his information to you. Individuals trying to get paid for sig campaigns don't bother, releasing the info to you is a security risk. Deal directly with your campaign managers or advertisers. If they don't pay you I suggest you leave them negative reputation until they do.

Disagree with the bolded part, but it's good you're at least doing a selective Doxapine.  Hopefully everyone gets paid.  Has Master-P been in contact lately??

I think I have another good idea:
Master p could auction his username, except for the lynch mob (most of them with no skin in the game) debasing the Master p value with negative trust. So what I'm thinking is guys, please remove the red trust, and leave green trust, so the name will be really valuable again. Master p will auction it off (it's almost like buying a turnkey escrow business), and he'll be able to pay  back everyone sooner.

What does everyone think? But please, no knee-jerk insults and whining for "justice" from the torches & pitchforks peanut gallery.
Only constructive suggestions from those with some skin in the game.

@The Pharmacist: With all the hatred and trolling in these threads, why would he continue to communicate? Put yourself in his shoes.

You already made r/buttcoin with yesterday's post: https://redd.it/3z780u  Trying to bat 1000 ?

Can you read? I made it bigger & bolder for you.
Yeah, they don't understand disruptive out-of-the-box thinking or blockchain technology, what did you expect? Remember what Gandhi said, "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then you win!" :)  

BTW, how much are those statist bankster shills paying you?

That is what makes everything hard to trust. How can we be %100 sure about not getting scammed?

You can't be sure at 100%, it's impossible.

You ought to take your own advice, derp. And by the way, whose alt are you?

0.4b a week would be 4 to 4.5 times $170 a month. That would be $680 to $765. I think even in developed countries it is not common that someone earns so much that he can afford to spend that. Doing that every 2 days would be so high that only some people could afford to pay that from their salary.

If you insist on shitting up this bulletin board with your brokeass signature spam, at least try to address the gist of my suggestion, instead of spewing infantile insults & unfounded insinuations.
I'm gonna give you one more chance to constructively contribute before I put you on ignore where you belong, Satan-worshiping drug-addled scum >:(

Playing devils advocate, it might be that he only liquidated some of the assets he mentioned. Which in turn means that this is not something that can be done endlessly.

IF it would be possible to take out all the red trust when the account gets bought by someone only to pay back victims with that then doing escrow with it would be pretty useless. Pretty much every customer till now knows that he was a scammer, so for escrowing it is worthless.

The only chance would be to use a neutral trusted master-P-Account for signature campaigns.

Well, it won't happen since he would have to admit that his story of his account being hacked is not true. I mean everyone knows long ago but he still don't want to admit it.

Changing the red trust to green is simple: go to trust & change your negative trust to positive.
And why would the account be useless for escrowing when everyone will know that it was bought by a responsible new owner, who just spent 20BTC on it?
If the new owner scams, that's 20BTC right down the flush. How is that in his enlightened self-interest?!


Story of being hacked is not true? Source?
You're basing your opinion on nothing but slanderous hearsay and flimsy circumstantial evidence, which is exactly what the h4xx3r wants you to do. Why would Master p start paying back, if he wanted to scam? All you & the rest of the angry mob here care about is vengeance, having no skin in the game.
Thanks for ruining the value of his user account, the easiest way he could have paid everyone back (tho he didn't have to because it wasn't his fault) & making doubly sure that the hacker's victims won't see another penny.
I hope it was worth it.

Oh come on now Colt.  Master-P is no stranger to this forum and I have no doubt whatsoever that the reaction he got--collectively--from this community was expected by him.  Unless he was living in a bubble he's seen all the scammy crap that's gone on here and seen how people are ready to mount scammers' heads on the town square pike.  So I will sleep like a baby tonight, with a guilt-free conscience.  At least with respect to my treatment of Master-P.  There is no way in hell that he didn't steal that money.  I was a bit on the fence before but it's quite clear to me now.

What does it matter when iam only remove the red trust? Alot of people rated him negative. You would need to bring all of them to the point to remove the rating. I think that will be hard.

It's the escrow name that is burned. I think he wrote he earned one bitcoin in the last year from donations for his escrow work. No way someone could pay 20 bitcoins for that account. And you know that bad news spread better than good news. I think less people will know that a new person owns the account than people would think it is a scammer. I would not await much escrow requests on that account at all.

So why should the hacker want to frame master-P and leave that amount of coins laying around, risking that he can retrieve them with a copy of the private keys or mnemonic code? Iam not aware of anyone who could possibly hate him so much that he would risk 12K USD for it.

And why did master-P wait 2 weeks and a scam accusation thread until he came out with the story that he was hacked? He would have known what would happen when he does not go through with his responsibilities for so long.

It's not that i hear only on what others say but i see the story master-P claims to be true.

A scammer surely could start to pay back, it happened alot. Start paying a little bit, then delay more and prevent the doxx. In the meanwhile the scammer vanishes.

Guess you did not read what i wrote in the other thread. I think only the victims should decide about the doxx since all other users have nothing to gain from it except their curiosity pleased.

If you really thought someone will pay 20 Bitcoins for such an account then we are back at the topic "delusional".

By the way... at least i try to hunt down the scammers. That's why i know more than others about many scams and i can act accordingly. And don't worry, i see the chances realistically. I only fight to the end when possible. I don't like letting the bad guys get away.

The Pharmacist, you'll sleep well because you got no skin in the game.
Way to ruin the lives of those who do, I hope you're proud of yourself >:(


So it's too much trouble for the lynch mob to change their red trust to green, even if it means the victims would be reimbursed?
Is that what the trust system is for?


You burn Master p, so now 'ZOMG it's burnt'?! Nothing is burnt. If the account is bought for 20BTC, it could escrow anything up to that without any problems.
Some people just like to watch the world burn >:(

master-P's story of being hacked HAS been 100% disproved. As far as having no skin in the game, most everybody that's a user on this forum is an avid cryptocurrency enthusiast, thus has skin in the game because of the self-regulatory nature of the P2P protocols.

Where the fuck did that 20BTC stem from, when all the fake figures I've seen were ~2 btc was supposedly paid for the account, which HAS been disproved?

For sure it's not. It's only the experience from the past that it is pretty hard to remove such immense amount of negative trust once it was given.


I burn master-P? ::) Your mindset is really astonishing. Well, go ahead and auction the account. I think you will be very disappointed. But let me guess... when no one wants to buy it then it's my fault because i mentioned the obvious problems with that plan, right? ::)

Yeah, that ludicrous 2BTC claim pretty much unraveled the hacker's case -- everyone said that Master p account was worth way more. And that was *before* all the extra green trust that account gets when lynch mob changes their thoughtless red trust to green. It will be the forum's most trusted account, and as such, worth more than 20BTC. Will pretty much drive the other escrows out of business.


Just repeating that ad nauseum won't make it any more true. You wanted your drama, you got it, enjoy. So what if your antics scared away Master p & cost the (hacker's) victims 20BTC.
No skin of your back >:(

He thinks that the account alone is some kind of turnkey escrow business and don't know how low rewarding the escrow work is when it comes to financial reward. So he thinks the business must be worth that much.

It would have been worth way more because the master-p claimed he sold the escrow addresses with it. Who would sell an account for 2 bitcoins and gives 20 bitcoins in escrow addresses with it for free? It would be a sure profit for every scammer.

That doesn't mean that the escrow forum account alone would be worth that much. And even then we would speak about an untarnished escrow account, which should be never sold at all. Now the escrow name is burned and i doubt anyone will pay much for it except for going into a signature campaign with it.

Speaks volumes about this community, don't it? Easy to join the lynch mob, but when it's time to clean up the mess? Ain't nobody got time for that :-\


There wouldn't be a problem if you didn't tar, feather & run him out of town on a rail. You can still patch things up and undo some of the harm you have done (not just to Master p and the hacker's victims, but to the whole community -- by destroying trust in its fundamental institution -- escrow).
Yeah, you can still undo some of the damage, but you won't.
Because you'd rather watch the world burn.

Anyone that gets coltlover on the bus off to retard school gets a 1 BTC reward from me.

Don't need a reward... but I put a nice pretty ~ in my trust settings... then added his account to the right of it...

Smart choice. Both threads on this subject just seem to attract trolls like flies to shit. It would be nice to follow the topic at hand without hearing stupid ideas every 3 posts.

Lol, retaliatory negative trust left me by a nobody I've never dealt with, applauded by fellow poisonous douche. Thanks for making my point for me :)

It seems you don't understand what trust settings are...  That's ok... I didn't expect you to...

EDIT:

Sorry... on topic now: fuck off.

Can you people have the decency to at least stay on topic or take your arguments elsewhere? This thread is for the people who got scammed by whoever took control of my account to be compensated. Get the fuck out of here if you're not one of the victims and are just trying to up your post count you worthless shits.

Sure I do. Trust settings are there for you to abuse whenever your assburgers flares up :)

@REAL-master-p: I know, rite?

P.S. @vancefox: Left you some red trust. Thanks for the heads-up :)

Except it has already been proven you weren't hacked. You are a LIAR!!!!

People a re free to post where they want to, even stupid horsefuckers like coltlover.

Proof? What proof? Just pieces of bullshit some people are putting together and the public assumes it's proof? How is it even relevant to you if you weren't scammed? I'm not going to entertain trolls like you who are too scared to post with a main account because you're obviously only here for the sake of entertainment, at the victim's and my own expense. So fuck you. This is exactly why I'm not going to bother posting here anymore. If any of the victims want to contact me just PM me, don't expect me to reply here too often.

What REAL-master-p said, and also: Horses are not for sexual. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

You really don't understand what trust settings are...  You are an absolute fucking moron.  If you can see at any point that I left you negative feedback I'll pay you every single btc I have.

Although I guess this shows that either you're a long time lurker that knows nothing about this forum or you are really a noob that knows nothing... either way, you're a fucking moron.

Seemed to work, you don't trust me, I don't trust you. Not versed in the finer points, but I'll learn as I go along, no?

That can't be much.
Anyhow, no need to get upset, friend  :)

"1 BTC reward! I best try to claim it before retard '09 miners Leroy Fodor and Marshall Long beat me to the bounty. I'll be right back, Picard. Promise not to go anywhere, mmmkay?"

Be sure to use a trusted escrow :) Else you'll be robed.
And possibly raped, tho I'm not sure how a trusted escrow would help. Tho it won't help with getting robbed either, see thread topic.
So it's not really clear what I'm trying to say here...

See what happens when one sucks dicks of the likes of Leroy Fodor and Marshall Long? They, too, become serial liars, still espousing lies after they've been caught red-handed in their lies. This motherfucker honestly believes in his fucked up head that the account he still controls was comprised. That fucker is Goddamn lucky that I've yet to uncover his true identity, for I've would've doxxed the living shit outta him, and WILL do such once I learn his real identity. HAHAHA

(don't expect me to reply here too often) = (I've only begun to reply here!)

Dude, when you're uncovered, your ass is gonna be doxxed so fuckin' badly, you're gonna learn to love it, beggin' for more doxxing while your balls are cupped. HAHAHA

I can easily cite no less than a half-dozen times the above from master-P's archived posts before, during and after each supposedly others controlling said account.

don't bother seb... it's quite obvious that coltlover is a satire account mocking tecshare. No one can be genuinely so full of shit.


... well except maybe this person here who thinks repeating his hack story makes it true.

master-P, care to explain how you managed to rack up csgo hours while you supposedly went out of town with no internet for two weeks thus unable to report your account being hacked?

If you bothered to read through this thread, you'd know that his Steam account was hacked.
The noxious atmosphere of animosity and distrust you create is detrimental to conduct of sound business.

are you saying that the hacker continued to play counter strike on master-P's account? part of the "framing" conspiracy I suppose?

You clearly know nothing of today's hacking standards and practices. Failing to play CS would have proven disastrous: the hacker would have lost you as his white knight. To say nothing of the rest of pitchfork-wielding lynch mob.
Unless, of course, you're being paid, in which case he wouldn't. But I'd never suggest such a thing -- it's simply beneath me.
Which is not to say the thought hasn't crossed my mind.
So if you feel like telling me, apropos of nothing, of your own accord, it's not like I'd hold it against you or anything.

All I see from ol loverboy is "This user is currently ignored." and I'm sure all it is is a bunch of words that say, summed up, "Look at me!!! I'm a fucking moron."

Almost like that "I'm not on welfare... I collect disability" asshat.  Maybe they're one in the same... or brothers... or lovers...

Vancefox: Your duplicity -- pleading with me in private while insulting me publicly -- is in no way conducive to regaining my trust & respect.
The red trust I've left you stays.

Think of it as your mark of Cain -- a festering stigma of your past misdeeds; your eternal, indelible shame for all to see. Forever and all time.
Forever.
F O R E V E R!!

This user: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=713018

Is claiming that he had sent 3 BTC to the hacker and that I should repay @ 1DXK9kzGmaogXW1MPWNCc3nhSyohyhfenh

Can anyone help confirm who this is because this user is PMing me using a new account and is refusing to post his evidence here that he sent 3 BTC to master-P.

I'm not sending funds to any address that isn't being stated here publicly with evidence that funds are owed.

I'm getting pretty fucking sick of this shit. I'm getting messages from people threatening me to pay to random addresses, clearly trying to take advantage of the situation. If you have evidence you sent money to master-P then please post it here and include an address you'd like funds sent to, otherwise you will be ignored and I don't give a fuck if you have my dox or not because my info is more or less public anyway.

you never sent any money back to the victims. Do you still enojoy making fun here?

You keep saying that.^^

And obviously people will try to impersonate others--it happens all the time here, where have you been?  Also I would think you know who to pay the money to.  It's the sig campaign owners or managers.  Put the imposters on PM ignore. 

I hear excuses and nothing pointing to funds being repaid.

Obviously not. That account was created well over a week after it was discovered that you were scamming those who you were asking to send you money.

Why don't you ask for the PGP signed message that contains the address you were asked to send to?

(and another I don't see right now)



It's not much in the grand scheme of things but it's "a start"

Dude you do realize your a newbie and he's a senior member and you don't publicly effect his trust, you have to click on "Untrusted feedback" first.  On top of that the neg trust you left just says you left it because you could.

Morons are morons... kind of like it is what it is... or they are who we thought they were... or whatever you want to say.  Doesn't matter... he'll always be a moron.

Still posting with that disgraced & untrusted account of yours?
Haven't you got any scruples?
*Go tattle on me in Bitcoin Forum > Economy > Trading Discussion > Reputation. Owait, you did!

So you want me to remove negative trust from master-P before it is in safe hands? Surely a great idea... for a scammer.

And i'm happy how mighty you see me. As if iam could have done much to warn others. 1 negative trust point alone is from me. Now check how many he has.

When i read you speaking that way i wonder how hard it must have been to be the friendly guy i learnt to know so that i even trusted you. Now it seems you can't write a single post where you not spread hate and namecalling. So i'm impressed by your actor ability but you really disappointed me. :|

If you saw the posted graph showing the number of headshots in a certain timeframe then you should have wondered why the stats remained the same after his steam account was, like he claimed, hacked. Somehow the hacker had the same ability for this game? Guess if you want something to be true then there is no room for any other version. ::)

And the version that the hacker wanted to frame him... instead securing the coins and make them a safe loot he did nothing and played counterstrike, risking to lose 12k USD. Because he hates master-P so much. Well, guess in some parallel reality bubble it might make full sense. :D

That was to be awaited. Don't worry, if scammers see a slight chance then they will try their luck. Of course you have no obligation to pay him anything since he provides no proof at all.

I guess you should have encountered alot of this kind of people already when escrowing. No need to be astonished. Mark him a scammer and be done with him as long as he doesn't provide proof. ;)

So you think hacker who h4x0rd a trusted escrow's secured computer can't play CS as well as Master p, his victim?
Or that he wouldn't temper his 1337 pwnage skillz, to appear less bombass than he really is?
No wonder you get ripped off all the time :-\

If Master p really wanted to scam, wouldn't moving the coin be the first thing he'd do, to make it look like he was hacked?
How about you think things through a bit, before slandering a trusted user account's good name with undeserved red trust?

"Everyone was doing it, why pick on me?"

What is it about raging mob mentality that you don't get, criminal? Do you know nothing of mobs?
A perfectly decent person, nearly devoid of major criminality, becomes a violent, bloodthirsty rape machine when cheered on by mob!
And you wanna know how mobs start? They start with one vigilante acting out, trowing the first stone.
One.
YOU!

lol @ raised red flags, but nothing else did. He's a trusted escrow, nothing raises red flags, just moving coins around.

Will the real master-p please pay back?

Where in the world do you see the sense to try to even play that stupid game to impersonate master-P? It was so unlikely that this proof came to light that no hacker would have cared about that.

It's really astonishing what makes sense in your world.


Guess you have not enough phantasy as to how a scammer with reputation might think. Like you know, i have. And it would make pretty much sense to scam that way. First start the scam. Do as if you were away and while you were gone something bad happened. Then scam the shit out of this forum. When someone starts an accusation thread and your account is burned with red trust then come up with the story of the account being sold. Might work at all. And when it didn't work because the story didn't match and it was clear that master-P still would be seen as the scammer then come up with the infamous "Hacker"-story.

Well, it didn't work out but for some reason he thinks he will still be safe. Maybe his doxx is prepared? He had sent items to a wrong address so that everyone thinks an innocent person is master-P? Anyway, for some reason he felt comfortable enough to clear the escrow addresses and plan his drawback.

As a precaution claim you will pay back (reminds me of maidak, did he actually pay back now?) and then pay back some little funds to make the victims shut the fuck up. Then you have time to make your drawback. Well, it makes not much sense to scam for that amount of money, except he feels secure because no one really knows who is the real master-P. And when he would live in some third world country then he could live like a king for some time. Another good thing for his feeling of safety might be that he thinks no one will sue him for that amount of money. At the end a lawsuit costs quite some money.

Well, if he really pays back the funds or the account gets sold provable then i will remove my red trust. Though what happened lets me be pretty sure that it will never come to that point. Unfortunately.


Undeserved Trust... well, you now make me really speechless. :D

Very good point. And another good hint that it was the real master-P. Only he could be safe that the master-P that was hacked would not see it and move the coins. Only he could get the idea to let others send coins to the old address and later create others. Maybe it was not even planned to do it now instantly.

Anyway... not very brightly done. No plan or whatever was in place really.

I guess you shouldn't judge from yourself on others. I gave him red trust because it was own jugdement. Something was wrong and it is pretty clear that a non-red master-P would be able to scam even more.

How the heck can you get the idea that he should have green trust? That is so plain stupid...

Guess you didn't even notice that he claimed himself to have no control about the account master-P anymore. And you still come up with that nonsense that he should have the red trust removed. Well, that's so against common sense that i can't see yours anymore.

Please, stop spam in this thread.

I asked theymos to check Master-P's IP log dating back to 2014 to see if there is any change to it... I suggest everyone else affected by his scam do so as well. This will prove whether or not he was actually "hacked". Unless he was smart enough to change up his IP address...which I doubt he did...

In my defense, I didn't 'invest' in a long string of of hilariously obvious scams, culminating in Anon's Profitable Pot Plantation, which is listed on a dead exchange.
So there's that.


The old "if I was a scammer, I would've done shit differently. So it ain't a scam" chestnut, but now with a new twist: "If I was living in a third-world country & was a scammer, I could've lived like a king by doing it my way. Shit wasn't done my way, so it wasn't done by a scammer. Therefore, it was done by Master p. QED."
Horrible.
You played right into the scammer's ruthless, blood-stained hands. Turned on your colleague, a man who thought you his friend and trusted you, stabbed him right in the back.
Verily I say onto you, 
Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword >:(

How would giving that account red trust make the h4xx0r0r's victims whole? Master p is trying to pay the victims out of his own pocket, which is currently empty. Because he can't sell his biggest asset -- his user account. Because you and the pitchfork lynch mob ruined it with red trust.
I hope that little bit of venting was worth it for you, because it cost the community 20+ BTC.
Along with lost trust >:(

If Master p doesn't control Master p account, what's the point of red-trusting it, hmm?

hmm... surely a mistake

we should have left the alleged "hacker" in DT with green trust

coltlover, or let's say master-P, i'm sorry but i can't wrap my head around your twisted thoughts. It's getting too annoying trying to find a piece of common sense in you. Though when i read you so i have the impression we know already since a long time, you might be the user with the most accounts on bitcointalk and your nonsense seems to be always the same. I wonder if you really were able to impersonate master-P that well, it would need some shizophrenic abilities to handle it so good though when i read how the proven master-P writes now then it sounds quite possible.

Anyway... i don't care anymore.

So I'm Master p now? Am I reading you right? Did you leave me a red trust yet? (afraid to look)

Also plz no privately giv my d0xx3n to n00bs H4xx0r pwnt plz no, bcz nao I'm scairt :(

And here's what theymos posted in the other thread:

Master-P returned the full amount back to me today at 4am  EST.

https://blockchain.info/tx/83259a136ddd5687fafa876b3b3610300a41a4ed38be87f94d9738a8381c7cc5

If anyone didn't receive their coins yet, please contact me for his information as I have every little detail ablut him.

Awesome mate, good you got your coins back. Was it the threat of dox(/charges) that lead to the refund?
As for the information, is it the same information that Lawthelaw sent?

highly likely, since the claim master-p was going by was 'i dont have the money, ill slowly refund people (like .4 a week was it?) over the next year,' i find it unlikely to believe he came up with 4+ btc out of the blue if that claim was true.

My cousins live in the same area as he does and it wouldn't be hard for me to pursue him as I have all the resources and information needed to chase him down. Also, he has a long history of scams on here, especially the ponzi few months back, and I guess he got worried and afraid that more people would jump on this train to chase him down.

If anyone else was scammed by him, I'd be willing to help out since all the evidence to link him to the scams is on this forum.

Really good, now I hope that he'll repay all the other people who has scammed.

SebastianJu! Now that (the real) Master p has been bullied/blackmailed into paying the so-called 'victims' for the crime he did not commit & I have been fully vindicated, don't you think you owe me an apology?

Lol he was bullied/blackmailed for a crime he didn't commit? Dis you not look at theymos post on the other thread on IP address? lol..
I can even report him and ask the police to request the raw data from theymos to prove that he's the scammer sitting behind the computer screen.

Under the law it is not blackmail if you are seeking the return of your own property from the perpetrator, and don't commit any other crime in the process. The reason blackmail is a crime is because it is usually an attempt to extort money that is not yours from people. If you are not stealing any money or other valuable property or services, then it is not a crime.

And "don't commit any other crime in the process"?!
TECSHARE, return the money that was (allegedly) stolen from me, or else!
I know where you live. And your family >:(

Still waiting on that apology.

I am sorry you are a moron. Feel better now?

0.44 refunded: https://blockchain.info/address/38tXxJREPNJHxZZ34MqY4JT7ntgR4PdoDD (Not confirmed yet though)

.850 refunded https://blockchain.info/tx/dc20af9ac4dc36e63dccc7de7c5761585f4159ab181141e792a8c2b7db644609

Might pay out the obits campaign participants, if funds are not enough try offering a partial payment.

Didn't receive anything.

Glad you got your money back.

Anyone up for doing some blockchain homework to see if those coins were the same one's you guys gave him, proving this whole "hack" is a lie? Or are they separate coins?

It doesn't really matter whether he was hacked or not, it was his job to not get hacked, but showing that the hack story is a lie may give other people more incentive to stop sitting around and start demanding their coins back.

looked at it for about a dozen hops back... looks like a mixer to me

He probably didnt have access to pay people back because it went through a mixer...whcih can take a while...

I don't think it was a mixer. The btc used to repay tabata11 can be traced back to a multi-sig wallet (a wallet with a bunch of multi-sig addresses) and I would doubt that a mixer would use multi-sig addresses because such a small percentage of addresses with unspent inputs are multi-sig so it would be easier to track funds going though such a mixer

To anyone asking me to update the thread with the new payments, I will not bother anymore to update them.

Master-p has been linked to multiple scams, and alt accounts related with scams. Him being guilty, just lets to know that this might just be a big charade to stall everyone. If he's serious about refunding everyone, then he would not need this post to know what he stole. If he refunds everyone, then I can only say he did what he was supposed to do if he doesn't want to be prosecuted, nothing more.

Prosecution lol. Release the Kraken.

Oh my god he is coming back and lying again. after you did you still here to lie us and your account got hack from somebody else.
You have no heart and you are trying to lie us and i think you have new plan to make another way to scam us..
Please dont allow this man to lie us again.

 Funds have been fully returned^[1], not vouching for master-p as there seem to be some questionable evidence against him but things seem to be going good for now. Hoping others' funds will be returned as well

1) https://blockchain.info/address/38tXxJREPNJHxZZ34MqY4JT7ntgR4PdoDD

He returned mine as well. Seems fishy... This is starting to look like a targetted scam, yahoo's the one with the most damage here, and he hasn't received any serious refunds at all so far.

Congratulations on that. I didn't receive any funds though. :(

Alright, at least now update the OP so people can get a clear idea of who has been paid and who hasn't been paid. Please do it.

Not taking any sides(for now) but in some of his last PMs he was talking about "liquidating assets", make what you can of it. As for yahoo , master-p seems to have said that he will return the funds by 14 Jan(same deadline he gave me), I'm wondering if its a bluff to avoid legal action or if he's telling the truth

He also gave me that deadline of January 14th. Let's see how he handles this. But I think he's really making efforts to pay everyone off.

I woke up to a message from masterp he refunded 1.5 BTC to me today. Still a good amount to go but ill finish paying off the obits campaign when I get home Sunday. Also will send the rest to the coinbet campaign. That leaves him still owing me roughly 4.3btc

Well this is good news. I hope you'll get all your cash refunded as soon as possible. This whole thing has went on for far too long.

Great news, is this the transaction id: https://blockchain.info/tx/5a964184049f963056c51d5b749a480665746a6bcaa5e7dce1e159a6ae62f235

From the looks of it, if you have been scammed by master-P then you will need to threaten to take civil/criminal action and/or release his personal information by a certain date for you to get the money that you are owed back from him. He seems to almost immediately return funds once this threat has been made. Maybe he is trying very hard to sell that he was hacked (which I still do not buy).

If you are not willing to do this then you probably will not see your money again.

So good, he is refunding a lot of users... well , we will see how it ends.

would that master-P get rid all of the negative trust when he refunded to them all? ???
i would need to continue to do business; i would wish him to get back.

Wait what? -9999 is going to get back to 0 or + again? Doubtful.  ::)

Why do you need a scammer to continue business, or wish him back, are you on drugs?

never. but at least he took his responsibility on that matter. i am not on drugs at all.  :-\
please continue to discuss in the main accusation thread instead of here. ::)

Is anybody going to ignore theymos post about his IP that he may have possible alts and some of it were used for scamming?

Yes, you're right. A negative trust score (of an user) doesn't prevent you from doing business with him, you should only pay more attention and use an escrow always.

---

However I don't think he will continue to be active here anymore (from his main account) maybe he'll buy a new one and start again.

Until he fully crosses out the suspicions(why was he playing CS:GO, who was the other person, jonesz, how was "hacker" able to get access to his accounts and many more) of many users, I very doubt its going to happen.

What is the need for him to get rid of -9999 ? He is known as a scammer by everyone and I doubt anyone will ever contact him for a trade. If anyone still wants to trust him in spite of all his actions, then he is an idiot.

tl;dr: master-p = Tradefortess maybe? ::)

master-p != TF


Tf stole a lot of bitcoin (more than master.pg) but yes they're (both) scammers.

Wasn't there someone who was trying to buy a -9999 account last week or so?  I would imagine such things could bring a perverted premium on the account market, seeing as they're so rare.

It's a real douchebag move to start a thread that aims to compile all useful information on an ongoing scam and then to not keep it updated despite recent developments. I can only assume that you take your other responsibilities as seriously as you do this thread of yours; it's actually kind of ironic as this kind of mindset (i.e. the inability to see a job through to its completion) is similar to that of an exit scammer.

Just want to let you know I am still watching Eric, looking forward to the 14th. This could have been quite a bit worse for you. I am glad you smartened up and took responsibility for this. It is a rare thing in this community.

I'm waiting to see if he finishes off what he promises as well. 2 days and we will see if legal action is necessary

Congrats for the repayments. Let's see what happens tomorrow.

lottery248, it is wishfull dreaming that he will get his negative trust removed. And honestly, i don't see a reason why a person that is not master-P should wish for that. There would be no reward at all for that.

The only explaination i can come up with is that you lost coins to master-P and for some reason you can't disclose that point to the public, so that you try to push master-P the positive way. But that sounds like a very vague story.

The 14th is rapidly approaching and im yet to see any money. There are roughly 27 hours til the 14th comes and goes. At that point i will be releasing master-Ps dox to the public assuming no funds are returned and contacting my lawyer to find out what i need to do legally to bring this guy to justice.

"no funds are returned" - meaning the Master-P needs to return ALL that he still owes you, or to make at least a partial payment?

Don't leave this guy any wiggle room :)

I would suggest, and this is completely up to you, to do those two things in reverse order... contact the lawyer first...

I confirm that I received 0.3 BTC today. Here's the TXN ID:

https://blockchain.info/tx/3bdf4b413d84830d61f9ad5cef17f88fbe8866b6b681ef9e600b0bf2a2826b1a

Also, this TXN includes a payment of 0.25 BTC to vervolioman. Also, most probably yahoo62278 was paid 2 BTC today via the TXN ID:

https://blockchain.info/tx/57fa9f6cb7032ee936e18ab0ddf340f6f304ee6e33286ceccfc4abbfef47e6c1

A confirmation from yahoo62278 would be appreciated.

Pretty sure there's no error. That's the original total count of funds. Maybe numbers got mixed up on partial refunds, but there's absolutely no mistake in the sum, recalculate if you wish.

Just an update to my address:

1H6ADzLAHz8pdAJDbGrnMsoPmrQEjKxiWE

Did the payouts on the 14th happen as promised?

Not full refunds but I received 2btc on the 14th. Was substantial enough a paymant to have me hold off for now

Anyone else? He provided this date for several users.

Looks like he pays one after another, maybe judging from the pressure they put on him. But good to see that the pressure is working. I hope everyone gets their coins back. :)

I find it really unbelievable that Master-P ruined his reputation completely for nothing really as he is paying back the people he scammed.  I guess he just needed a loan or something, I just can't seem to figure out what logic he is using.

For 24 bitcoin, I don't know if he needed those money.. but they are still 10k dollars in bitcoin. The good thing here is that he's paying all the users that he scammed, that's the important.

You don't have a DOX or else it would have been done already, you're just threatening to get your money quicker lol, I don't blame you.

you must be slow or dont read any threads. All his info was sent to 3 of us. Learn to read a thread before commenting troll

Wow. Over half repaid. I'm glad. Keep up the honest repay. You're making the right decision.

I am also happy he is doing it. But, I believe he is paying huge amounts to only those who are threatening him of dox. For example, yahoo has been receiving big amounts from him. Like he received 4.71 BTC already, whereas I received only 0.5 BTC out of 3 BTC. That's actually sad to see.

Nothing to be happy about it right now because he seems to be offline for a long time. Look at his profile:

Until he is threatened for his dox, he will not return the other half!

When will his Steam account get unlocked for trading purpose?

He said within one week he can sell all his inventory to liquidate his assets and repay back.
But now he is offline :-\

release his dox completely if he doesnt pay everybody.

He hasnt been online for a cpl days now and i dont see anyone posting theyve gotten money for 3 days now. Might be time for us to release his info

Let me be clear Eric, to prevent a public doxing you must repay everyone here making a claim with proof. Right now you don't think its a big deal but I assure you this community will do a lot more than law enforcement especially when they find out the other scams you are responsible for. I expect to hear from you ASAP with a set date for full repayment. There won't be any slipping away into the shadows here this time.

Just a reminder - any victims who do not have his dox can PM me with a transaction ID and a signed message from the address involved and I will release the information to them immediately.

id say wait until the end of today and release it publicly, the promised payment is already overdue a couple days and hes gone silent. chances are, hes been working on moving away or 'slipping into the shadows' as tecshare put it. the more time you give him, the harder it will be to track him down if hes been working on it.
imo im against waiting any longer in this situation, but its only fair to give him ~12ish more hours.

I think waiting any longer is a mistake but I'm not a creditor here.  I think doxxing him would light a pretty hot fire under his ass, and that's sorely needed at this point.

I agree that waiting longer is a mistake as well. I say release his dox so that people can connect him to other scams he was involved with in thenpast, especially the pyramid scam.

regardless, its past waiting time as of now, someone needs to step up and post that dox now, payments are way overdue.

Well I too have it, if a victim needs(to PM/post publicly).

I am tired of this bullshit. You got your warnings as well as plenty of time to follow through on repayments. Sorry you are too dumb to know better Eric. Have fun being harassed until you go to Canukistani prison.

*Information in bold is personally verified. The rest is from unverified 3rd party sources.

I hope this does not lead to him refusing to pay the rest. I thought his only motivation was his dox remaining private?

He had already stopped paying and responding. Hopefully this will serve as an additional incentive to pay the rest and avoid legal trouble and/or his parents getting notified of his transgressions.

I think the doxxing at this point is completely appropriate.   He's already behind so it's not going to hinder anything.

His information being released may partially piss him off and he may refuse to pay the rest of what he owes but at the same time now anyone he has ever scammed has the information they need to contact any law enforcement officials and sent him to prison. It may be even more added motivation IMO for him to pay before he has the cops (mounties) busting down his door

Who wants to run ads about him and his family in his town? Ie newspapers, billboards, posters?

This should be the first step :)
Then report him to the police about this scam and his previous scam

I think it might be a good idea for the victims as well as any sympathizers to chip in to do this. If he thinks his dox were the only leverage that could be placed on him he is sorely mistaken. The fun is just starting for Mr. Eric Lew. Some one should contact Gleb, it is time for his 3 ring circus to come to town at this point.

I think it would probably be a better idea to do this in the reverse order. Reporting him to the police regarding his scams would result in him potentially getting arrested, and if his local police department were to ignore any reports about him, then pressure could be put on the local PD by taking out such advertisements, plus they would serve as a warning to others who are considering to do business with him locally.

I would just stress the importance of ensuring that any advertisement that is taken out regarding master-P is factually accurate

Holy shit! Have you guys done a Google Maps search for this address yet? He lives in a huge house (with 2-car garage) in what looks like an affluent planned community!

good the dox are here:o

who will go ring his doorbell now :D?? 

The cops/police. Bam Bam! (sarcasm)

P.S. http://cdn.meme.li/instances/300x300/66437805.jpg

the cops will catch this scammer

Not being familiar with Canada law--do local police handle internet scams?  Is what he scammed considered (legally) theft?  Do we have any members here who are lawyers?  I know when I frequented the JREF forum there were tons of them.

He ran a pyramid scam this summer and that's illegal under canadian law for sure. I think internet scams are illegal as well.... Hoping lol

Pretty sure fraud is illegal in Canada...

I think fraud is illegal everywhere in the World, or am I wrong  ;D (just kidding) ?

report the frauds to RCMP (royal candian mounted police)

If my memory serves me right, quite a few of the larger cities in Canada do have online crime units. However, I suspect something like the master-P case would be extremely low priority to them. He stole what, about 24 BTC? The owner of PBMining ran off with a much larger amount and the police didn't do much of anything in trying to track him down and charge him.

These online crime units seem to focus on much larger issues... CP and that sort of stuff is much higher priority to them.

How about lawsuits from individuals? I mean this is enough money to sue someone.

Do a little research, you will see he is involved in several other scams. The collective value of these crimes may be enough to illicit the help of domestic authorities. If not, there are always lawsuits as well as other forms of legal leverage over him. Use your brain a little bit. The idea about the billboards was a creative solution. Think about things in this type of direction.

In any case, even if the amount would be pushed down to a level that is not a crime anymore, with the repayments done, he still can be sued under civil law. At least he will have to pay back...  or else...

Even if it is no criminal offense for some reason, the civil right and law still gives enough power to deal with that.

These things are different.

Which is MOST likely why he started to pay back too. If the victims of the other scams brough be in and they unite in some form then they would be a real threat to him.

I'm not a lawyer, but I'm guessing that if someone had the interest, time, and money to pursue him they could probably file a case against him. Depending on the amount that master-P stole from the user, they may be able to file a small claim court case, as long as the amount was under $25,000 CAD. I found a page about Ontario small claims court here (http://www.attorneygeneral.jus.gov.on.ca/english/courts/scc/), if anyone is interested in reading a little more about it. It seems like a claim against master-P might fall under the "breach of contract" type claim, if they were able to get an escrow contract from him. But like I said before, I'm not a lawyer so I don't know a whole lot about this kind of stuff.

Certainly worth a try especially if someone happens to reside in Ontario or otherwise in a position to do that.

Not sure about Canada but in the US small claims cases are relatively easy and inexpensive to file. Scares the shit out of young small-time crooks like our friend Eric here.

The sad part is collecting. If he has no income and no property it might be next to impossible to get anything even after winning the case

Any time you have an exchange of value  you enter into a contract. The terms of these agreements are documented within PMs and public posts.

From the dox I have, it seems he is f*cking rich. Wonder why he needed to scam

for kicks?

He probably failed in life and couldnt get a job as an accountant after college so he lives with his parents lmao

From what I've seen in this thread, he's been scamming long before the stunt he pulled here on Bitcointalk. Probably made a decent portion of his "riches" from pulling similar scams.

A rich guy will bend over to pick up a $20 bill.

For people with a certain moral compass, scamming on this forum isn't much harder than just picking up money.

It's one thing to get the balls/equipment/knowledge to go rob a bank, around here you just say "give me money" and people give it to you.

What is the Canadian version of the IRS? Some one report him for tax evasion. I assure you they will not fail to put an endoscope so far up his ass they will be able to see how many fillings he has in his teeth.

The CRA collects taxes in Canada, so you wanted to go that route you should probably look into contacting them. Link (http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/cntct/menu-eng.html)

Methinks he's too young to have truly failed in life.  And I think with a degree in accounting you'd have a really good shot at a job unless you have scarlet letters attached to your shirt or something like that. 

Way to go ERIC.

No updates whatsoever to this thread. Can anyone living in Canada help us do this. I'm ready to fund a part of this if it requires so.

I have dust dice owner on skype(ray) he says he only lives about an hour away from the address in the dox. He'd probably be willing to help out. I'll have him post here later today when I'm home

Okay, contact him and let us know.

I'm actually wondering what will be found at that address. Possibilties are huge for scammers unfortunately. :/

Maybe calling would be a first interesting step. Can a phone number be found to that address? And or name?

http://www.canada411.ca/search/?stype=ad&st=26+Halldorson+Ave&ci=Aurora&pv=ON&pc=
According to the YellowPages database 26 Halldorson Ave. has an unlisted private phone number.

BTW, when you sign up for a phone company in Canada your number is automatically listed on the YellowPages database, but you can get it unlisted from there for a small fee.

http://www.canada411.ca/search/?stype=re&what=905-841-9745

I tried reverse looking up the unconfirmed phone number and it leads to the wrong address, so the phone number is incorrect.

Don't chop up my quotes

Well, you don't have to be so arrogant. Anyways I just wanted to point out that the phone number is incorrect so you might want to update the DOX.

Just saying.

Arrogant? What the fuck? I made a very short statement about you editing my quote which directly effects me by the way. Point out whatever you want, but don't edit out the part where I warned the information might not be valid and then tell me its wrong and I should update it douchebag.

I'm saying that information needs to be removed because it's inaccurate. Of course I know it's not confirmed...but now it's confirmed that the information was wrong.

Whatever man.
Don't want to argue over soft things like this.

Anyone received any payments? I didn't receive any.

Been about 8 days or so since ive last seen a payment. Still have over 2btc owed to me

escrow.ms is currently looking for a payed signature to refund you guys i.e master-P's victims.I think yahoo could do something about it.
check his signature   https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=76380

That was half a month or so ago, last I heard he was gonna join Bit-x to refund the victims but haven't heard anything about it since.

But If he simply offers him some cool payment(weekly) then it could be much easier I guess.

I could put escrow.ms into the betkong campaign if it continues past this week but I'm not currently managing any other campaigns

You probably had in mind betking signature campaign or is there some new campaign that I do not know?

Obv mispelling but im on mobile right now

I pressume the last 4 members in the list of op are somewhat alt accounts of master-p since they didn't show any interest in reclaiming their escrowed amounts! Neither did they threaten him on pm! I might be wrong though.

Btw I believe yahoo should enlist escrow.ms in his signature campaign (Betking) since there is a slot left for legendary members I guess.

Also there is a slot on Crypto-Games' signature campaign and Lutpin might co-operate regarding this.

p.s. There is already a site -- Bitkong ;)

Surprise surprise, who would have thought that it ends this way...

Regarding escrow.ms's offer. I wonder if it would help master-P alot too. Since when the victims get their coins back from escrow.ms then there might be no one anymore who wants to prosecute master-P. Why invest the time and money when you are even?

What i wonder too is, why is no victim of the other scams coming in here? Did they give up? At least i would have awaited that some of them show up, but it seems nothing happened.

Are they not aware of the connection?

There is nothing they can do.I mean it's next to impossible to prove someone's crime in bitcoins as it would be like it is a software experiment etc etc..However who would spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on lawyers to kick a guy's ass who scammed 1-2 of their coins.

That's interesting but I guess escrow.ms got inspired from this event, particularly ?

Bitcoin is no real money did not even help some years ago when pirateat40 was sued. They are token of value, otherwise you would not be able to sue someone for stealing your picasso. It's material worth is probably some cents but he immaterial worth is unpayable.


Yes. He only wanted to pay for this scam here.

But when theymos revealed the alts of master-P some claimed that there were names under it that scammed for way bigger amounts of coins. I would have awaited that the victims of these scams show up then.

I have to say that I am surprised about the majority of the situation. I personally did not think that master-P was planning a long con exit scam. Ironically, it would not be all that difficult to make as much BTC as master-P ended up stealing by trading honestly if he were able to find a niche market of some sort -- he probably would need to commit some kind of initial investment, either monitory or time, though.

Probably not. The individual amounts that master-P stole were generally small and I would find it unlikely that many/any of his victims will invest significant time into seeing that he is prosecuted.

escrow.ms previously had master-P on his trust list and escrow.ms likely wants to compensate people for the illusion of trust that this gave master-P (even if escrow.ms had no reason to believe that master-P was a scammer). I don't think that escrow.ms will be able to make any significant dent in the amounts owed to victims. Several months ago, my signature earnings peaked at roughly 1 BTC per month, and that was with ~800 posts per month. It is my understanding that victims are owed somewhere round about 10-15BTC or so.

master-P's other victims are likely not aware of the connection, and I would not be surprised if they have given up on trying to collection of the money stolen from them.

It's likely that it will be hard to get this amount with signature campaigns.

And for master-P's victims it would be interesting to merge forces with the other scammed members. Informing them about the connection and the more are involved the lower will be the costs.

ghibly79 didn't wanted to pursue this because the amount that would be required for the legal things will be much more than 3 BTC which he was scammed.

Also, I am not from Canada, so I don't think there's anything that I can do that will effectively cause master-P to refund the funds.

I personally think the best bet would be attempt to make contact with his other victims from past scams, collect more solid evidence that all these thefts were in fact done by a single person and then contact law enforcement. The more money that was stolen, the more attention that law enforcement will generally give to a criminal, especially if there are multiple victims.

The ~$10k that master-P stole would probably be sufficient to get the attention of Law Enforcement, however his various stories (even with all their holes) might be enough to give reasonable doubt, and might be enough to get his victims to not pursue him. I somewhat get the feeling that he "read" his victims and repaid those who he thinks were most likely to pursue him, and stiffed those who he thought would not.

This is it.He folded the global/international one's and repaid the left alone western one (probably he was from Canada too).

I fully agree with you. And the law enforcement should have not much trouble finding him. He did not run or anything like that... There are other scammer who are, unfortunately, harder to find.

Though when i say that... still nobody visited the address. And it might mean that there is nothing to find. There are enough ways to scam this.

Lets retaliate: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1368773.0

I was joking.  It's too juvenile given how much he scammed.

I could go to his house in Aurora and ask nicely if you want. 

Sure, please do it. I just hope this helps the victims to some extent atleast.

bring a video camera!

Better use a smartphone. A video camera will let him look and close the door instantly. There are apps for recording a video with the smartphone while it is closed.

Though I think he will not open anyway now that he knows a stranger will show up on his door in some time.

Well, live of a scammer seems not to be the cool gangsta life. :D

You could wait until he gets out of his house and ask him to repay the funds. Still I don't think he might repay everyone even if you ask him personally.

He got me for 6-7 btc during all this. He repaid some of us but he was still almost 2btc short of paying me off.

So you do remember. :)

And 2.5BTC short of me. That wound is still very fresh with me.
