In my opinion I think everyone is wrong.
The same thing (sort of) happened with SwingDev & altcoin4life.
Owner goes inactive, account asks for a loan, doesn't pay back, 'real' owner comes back asking for account, altcoin loses 0.1.
You buy account, get scammed, suddenly owner comes out of nowhere and wants account deleted/back, you get the negative trust.
Interesting logic.

I DO NOT AND WILL NOT AGREE TO THE ACCOUNT BEING CLOSED.

I just want my account back, holy crap, it's as simple as you changing the password, deleting any private messages you had, and sending me the password.

Why does this have to be so hard? Why can't you just be a decent human being and give it back?

Why do I have to pay you back for money you spent on someone else's account, didn't you have a hunch something was wrong when they sold you this account for only .6 BTC?

There is only one Legitimate God in the Forum "VOD"
Nope Altcoin4life was dealing with a hacked account when he was warned not to.His greediness landed him in trouble.
Obviously,because there is something called as "Staked Address" and a smart lender would always asked for signed a message before lending 0.10.

Definitely, owner has all the rights to claim his account back if he is able to provide a signed message .If you're buying a legendary account without the private keys of the staked address or escrow ,you're likely to get scammed,moreover it would stupid of you to do so.

I don't see you giving away 0.6 BTC

It's like he's giving you $200 + USD on a silver platter.
How do we know you aren't the one who was behind the bullshit account sale?

Don't tell me you'd 'be a decent human being' if you were in his position.

@joel_jansten
The 'seller' said the private key was being sold, never sent it.
Why? We don't know.
How do we know that ltcfaucet didn't just not give to come back a week later and claim it as his own?
Staked address is stupid in that sense.

It's all right here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1355698.0

Signed messages, drivers license, cross referenced posts between this account and Jude Austin.

My God, this is just unreal, I really don't want my account deleted.

I just wish someone would restore my faith in humanity and do the right thing.

I don't think it will happen but I have been wrong before.

I believe you were an old owner of the account, sure.
But what I find hard to believe is that you aren't the one behind the bogus account sale.
Account gets sold, private key was said to be sold but isn't.
Suddenly just two weeks later, the original owner comes back & was earlier saying something along the lines of 'I don't care if it gets deleted' or something, but now says he wants it back.
Don't use the shitty faith in humanity response, we aren't stupid.

You're right, I wouldn't purchase a Bitcointalk account, period.

But if I did happen to purchase something and someone with out a doubt showed me proof it was theirs, I would give it back.

I have plenty of money, I am 27 years old with a high paying job at a very reputable corporation.

Please check this thread before making any assumptions: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1355698.0

I wouldn't jump through all of these hoops for .6 BTC, trust me!

I make twice as much in an 8 hour work day.

When you pay 0.60 btc's ,what should you be receiving or demanding first ?I think any sensible person would use an escrow to verify the details and not send the money without a having access to the staked address.

Because he wanted to scam,as easy as that.

He probably is.If Op can prove it then obviously he will continue with the ownership rights of that account.

How would I have gotten in touch with the person on Skype to sell him my account then?

Can the person claiming to be me prove that he had reach out to someone or that someone reached out to him?

I would have had no way to contact this guy......

I fired up this old ass account because I figured it was the only way to help get my Jude Austin account back..

I want to know how the OP got contacted or where he saw Jude Austin for sale, because I never sold it.

OP, what BTCTalk account were you using before?

That(and who he bought it from) seems to be one detail OP is ignoring in each of his post. When someone keeps side-stepping a question like this, I start disbelieving their story.

Even LtcFaucet has bought this account (you know,the post history speaks a lot) ,so probably the account has been sold multiple times.But If Jude Austin can post the details of account auctions/pm/skype it will be much helpful.

What are you talking about?

I didn't buy Jude Austin, I was the original creator, I AM Jude Austin, in real life, haha.

Wow, I feel like I am going in circles.

Wow,then you should be a miner/programmer/well English Speaker.Could you link me to your GitHub?

I think this is his github account : https://github.com/EBTCoin

Either way, you will be at a loss.

If they close the account, you lose out ~$200.

If you give me my account back, you still lose ~$200.

But there is a perk for the latter, you are doing the right thing, and you are making someone very happy.

And depending on whether this person gets any sleep any time soon, now 4:18AM here, he may be in a good mood and make up for your loss.

But as of now I completely swear you are a scammer.

Another reason I think you didn't pay for the account, you wouldn't be so willing to just erase it off the forum.....

The image doesn't prove anything, I think theymos accept only signed message from an old well know bitcoin address that you (or the real owner) used in the past.

Already sent Theymos a PM with two signed addresses from previous posts.

.

No it doesnt, there is no message and no date, but there are enough signed message in the other thread. Theymos will not get involved though, they dont get involved in deals. The two have to find a solution.

Ok, so the person who has my account will want BTC.

How do I send him BTC and know that I will get my account back?

I will essentially be getting fucked TWICE.

How can we ensure I will get my account back if I pay this guy?

You say you make 1.2 BTC + with one day's work, I'm sure you won't mind giving 0.6 BTC or at least 0.3 for your own 'mistakes'.
If you decide on escrow, you won't get fucked 'twice'.
If one isn't enough, you can decide on using 2-3 Multisig.

Use a trusted 3rd party as escrow.

This is ridiculous.

I am just going to wait it out for Theymos.

The signed messages with the referenced addresses, posts, date, new email address have been sent to Theymos.

Soon fellow associates will load the trust with negative feedback and he won't use the account.

And I will just sit back and wait to get what was is rightfully mine back.

You my friend, have a cocky attitude.
It's not rightfully yours. Sure, you can prove it.
But again, this question stands.
How do we know you aren't the one who was behind the bogus account sale to get your self a free $200?

1.Agree ,you have bought Jude Austin as well.
2.Jude Austin was a miner/Programmer and he has a website which he owns,could you link me to that ?
3.Jude was very professional ad fluent with English.You don't even look 10% of him.Also can you link me to your github? Jude?

So wait a reply from theymos but how shorena said :






I can't see any date in these msg.

So this Jude Austin is not the same Jude Austin I compiled code for? got a pm, it is.

Anyway, I suggest you two read this[1] thread before you continue. Just for a perspective.

[1] https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=982538.0;all

Nope! I'm still waiting for him to link me to his Github/blogs/mining websites etc.Or he could just agree he had bought the Real Jude Austin with the private keys I guess.

Check your PM.

I would be grateful if you'd also send me PM's of your Github links and that personal website which you own. ;)

its getting common on forum
someone took loan from a user and after sometime a new user started saying it was his account that got hacked
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1354724.0

IMO people using those tricks to sell account first without signed message and then later using signed message they claim that account was hacked.

Sorry for your loss, but while account trades are tolerated here, they are strongly discouraged (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.0), in part because we do not enforce/broker account sales. In most cases, the original owner of the account is the legitimate owner forever as far as forum administration is concerned. (Though if we happen to come across some pretty clear evidence that an account is sold by its owner, we're not going to intentionally help the original owner scam the account back. But neither are we going to put much effort into preventing this.)

I restored Jude Austin to its original owner. I don't see any evidence for or against the original owner scamming the buyer out of 0.6 BTC. It's possible, but on the other hand the password hashes are known to have been leaked, so if Jude Austin's password was weak, it is possible for it to have been cracked.

Theymos,

Thank you very much, sir!

I will return the favor to the BTCTalk forum in the form of a donation.

Take care!

Jude

Didnt expect that! Well, rating removed.

Good to see an admin intervening, as the blackmailing about deleting all the posts was getting quite off-the-top.

He didn't delete anything, which is surprising.

I am going through now and deleting all of the persons posts and PM'ing people he contacted to let them know that I got the account back.

Again, thank you to everyone who supported me!

Lastly from what I know, you weren't the one Wardrick traded with, so it'd be right thing to contact him regarding this and ask him to remove the rating.

I will send Wardrick a PM right now and get this taken care of.

Thank you,
Jude
