Djordjamayna was a scammer from many other websites and did the scam ponzi scheme on HF before doing on BTCT, he said that he lost big on roulette and probably won't be paying back his investors. Sorry for everyone that lost their investment with him.

His last message was: "Sorry guys, I made a risky investment putting all the money on roulette. This was a big mistake. Our project is over. Thanks for being part of it"

someone must be very stupid to fall for this BS offer of 20% a week

if someone would google his nick before  investing he would find out what you posted and that he is a scammer

Yea, I feel bad for not looking into it earlier when he originally created his post, even in his feedback from 2 months ago it talks about the ponzi scheme he ran on HF...

I guess the lesson is, there are only three things which makes a person trustworthy:

-Proven business activity

-Strong government regulation of business

-Pays out more in returns than they receive in deposits (therefore unlikely to be a Ponzi scheme).

No amount of nice words will make an investment safe.

Who's gonna do the honours of a scam accusation against this guy?  I know he's probably leaving forever now, but might as well start one / leave him negative feedback.  Since it seems he still uses the same screen name, it might be nice to have another search result for the next forums he chooses.

to be frank I found the thread because I am following Moneypot owners postings and saw that Moneypot owner Ranlo invested 3 + BTC and I was really surprised how greedy and stupid he can be to invest this amount for 20% interest a week! this is impossible and should light up all red lights and then I googled his nick and it was easy to see that he is a scammer and I posted in thread to google his nick. I hope it saved someone some coins

Honestly when I saw that he invested 3 BTC I thought it was an alt of Djordamyna and faked to give confidence to other investors.

LOL that was exactly what I thought but as I know ranlo very well he wouldnt do this but IMO some users gave his investment a lot of confidence (sadly)

I PMed ranlo after he invested a large amount.  He called the investment "high risk, high reward" and said "I know the risks here".

I thought the same thing when mettwuerstle invested 0.5 but since djord basically scammed as soon as he received that large investment, I'm assuming that ranlo wasn't in on this.

I lost 0.08 on this guy.


It's my own damn fault. No need to start calling names or whatever. I knew what I was getting into.
In the end it is all gambling.



I have never scammed anyone, or stolen anything from anyone. Heck, I don't even like to lie in real life. I used to work in security. I call myself a honest guy...

.. but a little red devil is sitting on my shoulder and he keeps asking: "Why won't you start a scam? Steal bitcoins, no one will track you."


There's a small line between good and evil. Can anyone relate to this thought?



Edited to add: Sweeet, are you really really sorry? Or is there this undertone if you thinking "I told you so"? Just curious.

I am genuinely sorry to everyone that lost money to this guy, he stole large amounts of money just to lose in gambling... but I saw it coming and so should everyone else, as I warned so yes its a little bit of that. The reason I made this thread is because he locked his thread and wanted to get everyone who was scammed opinions on the whole situation.

It seems extremely unlikely that he actually lost the money in gambling.  Ponzi scheme operators seldom do extremely stupid things like that, as they're clever at manipulating people into giving them money rather than getting manipulated into losing their own.

It could just be an excuse to try and slightly ease the wave of hatred and possibly attempted tracking that could be coming his way.

Don't really like people outing things from PMs, but will confirm that I did, in fact, state that. Talked to the guy for a couple weeks prior (many, many times a day) to learn more about what he does and such. His explanations to me were exactly what I was looking for (in that his business model was not only sound, but people are already replicating the same thing and have been for years very successfully).

FWIW, I actually wanted to keep my investment with him private (I didn't even want it on the investor sheet). He's the one who wanted me to make it public, under the impression it was for transparency and accountability.

But in any case, it's like any investment: never risk more than you can afford to lose. Evaluate the situation and decide your personal risk tolerance. Never invest in ANYTHING (I don't care if it's APPL, SPY, VTI, or AMZN) because someone else did. Everyone makes their own choices. No investment is guaranteed, so you will ALWAYS have risk, no matter what you want to claim.

And I'm almost positive the gambling loss story is false. Based on our prior discussions, if he was running the business how he claimed, there is NO way he would have risked it all on roulette.

if this is true you should have stop your Head Dev after he published Slack PM


I sure believe you that you wanted to keep it private because you didnt want anyone to know that you invested in such a shady investment offer. a Moneypot owner is investing in a 20% per week investment and not investing this money in Moneypot Bank Roll. that is very strange and smells bad. and that OP wanted it published is also a sure thing cause it was the best teaser he could get to lure more peoples money in. that you agreed to publish your investment shows your greediness.


does it really matter what he did or will do with the coins?

It's ok, I understand.

I lost 0.026 Btc to him.
 
I think The Warning is up there for a reason ->: You are in the Gambling section. You are likely to eventually lose any money that you gamble/"invest".

i'm just glad i started with a small amount, 0.026 which is a pity compared to 3BTC (i can't even wonder how ranlo must be feeling) ...

but when you're gambling/Investing the risk is there, adityaa Could have lost 0.85 of his college fees if the ponzi could get eventually bigger.

The lesson is: always play it safe, do a background check and Don't gamble more than you can afford to lose.

And, If you ever see this Type of Scam running with such an obvious proof Tell us all before anything else happens, Rather than calling everyone stupid after it already happened.

...I just wonder if his 20$ "Ebook" -> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1843488.msg18934591#msg18934591 includes a lesson for running ponzis. maybe we can convince his vouchers to share us the method so we can "try" to recover our losses. (just an idea)

I have sent the vouch copy recipient BTCForJoe a PM explaining the situation and asking for the e-books.  If I receive them, I will share them privately with other scammed members via PM in order to help recoup losses if needed.  If not, I will PM other vouch copy recipients in an attempt to find what he was selling.

If you do receive it please send ma a copy of it

I'm not 100% sure what Method 1 is but I know Method 2, as it's what he was supposed to be doing with the funds as well:

1) Trade fiat for BTC
2) Take BTC to Purse.io
3) Set order for items you can sell locally. You get a min. discount of like 15%, so you can sell for 5% off and still get 10%+ profit per sale
4) Trade fiat for BTC
5) keep the cycle going

I've received the request. Unfortunately, I am not at liberty to share the vouch copies of the methods that he has sent me to review. Whether he scammed you guys or not, I am not the kind of reviewer that will disclose information that was given to me under the pretenses of maintaining privacy. In a nutshell, as much as I hate to say this, I was not scammed by djordamayna. Therefore I'd rather keep my integrity by not distributing the vouch copies that he has sent me.

However, I will say this. The methods are definitely not proprietary, nor do I believe that they were djordjamayna's to sell in the first place. In a couple of the methods, hackforums was mentioned, which means that they were guides that were probably downloaded from HF.

So let's make a deal. If you can convince me that you will do everything you can to prove that these are, in fact, stolen guides (by finding the reference in Hack Forums), I will gladly share the ebooks with you, privately. This is not (and will not) be a distribution of these books on my part. I am ONLY going to send them to the first person that I feel is trustworthy enough to find the original references of where they were stolen from. If, and only if, they were stolen, then I will personally message the authors of the ebooks to let them know what djordjamayna has done. It is then upon whoever I have sent the ebooks to to do with the books as they wish.

I, personally, don't like the fact that you'll be distributing ebooks that were authored by someone that is losing a sale because of djordjamayna's dishonesty, but that will be on YOU, not me.

This is my disclaimer. If you can commit to being the researcher to find these methods to verify that they have been stolen/resold, then please send reply in this thread (DO NOT PM ME) so that I can select who I feel is the most trustworthy. I will then send that person a PM with a one-time use link to download the methods.

I'll give this 24 hours before I make a decision.

Again, apologies to everyone who got burned by this guy. I've started a reputation thread about him: Please leave your experiences about djordjamayna here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1923887.0


(just quoting this next bit here so that it's at the top of Page 2)

This is a huge lesson I'll never forget in my first month of bitcoin trading/investments. I can't believe how stupid and complacent I was to the red flags in other sites he did his activities. Most of us were litterally a few clicks away to research his username.

Good thing I never placed all my eggs in one basket, but .56 btc is at least 3 months of basic salary in my country, or more considering the rise in value here.

Boy what a story to tell.

I bought one of his ebooks. I too think it was stolen. Anyway, there was nothing new in there so..

Not sure why people are asking for the ebooks. Let's face it people: He scammed again. There's nothing we can do... I'm pretty sure that a con artist like this is almost untraceable. :(
I think we shouldn't put too much time in this. If he had choosen a different nickname, we wouldn't be able to "link" his nick to other forums at all so...

 :o :o :o :o

Oooohhh

I thought no one would buy his ebooks... so you and a few other people who bought his ebooks were cheated.

Frankly this guy has overcome some scammers that have here in the forum ... at least Quickseller still continues to maintain the ranking of the biggest scammer of bitcointalk

First of all i am truly sorry for your loss, But I agree with BTCforJoe. I can't give the 5 e-books which i received and trust me they won't make you any life changing amounts and you will have to work with good effort to get some results. If i give now, I won't be trust-able in the future. No matter what the scenario, I can't break the agreement which was made when i received the vouch copy. I hope you will understand that...

Just out of interest, is it possible for someone to get amazon gift cards 50% or 60% cheaper? That's what he said his business is.

Its almost impossible to get amazon gift cards at that rate unless if its carded or stolen. His statement is just a made up lie.

I don't think it's a lie. He was e-whoring as one of his money-making techniques. E-whoring is a greyhat method of pretending to be a female in the hopes that a victim will pay you to send nude pics/videos to them. djordjamayna would allegedly receive payments as amazon gift cards from these victims, and then sell them here at a discounted rate.

But he was getting BTC from you the investors in his scheme so why is that step 1 even there? I mean he would just need to deposit the coins to Purse.io and off he goes with the purchased Amazon goods for great discount to resell in his country, right?
Was he trading fiat for BTC or it was all just lies?

Sorry for your loss btw. This sucks.

I lost 0.25 BTC.
If you count with +20% per week it would have been 0.78 BTC

But i did know the risk and hoped it would last longer ... one week longer and i would have been at 0.00 loss/profit and from then only green.

I am not happy with this, but i know and act after the code: only invest what you are able to lose.
not only financially but mentally!!

You should have waited for me.

I was giving it as a newbie perspective. If you already have BTC, then you'd skip #1 but it changes none of the process. It's still cash->btc->purse->cash->btc->purse. Where you start in the cycle is irrelevant.
