Title: Scammer label for Payb.tc/E&G (user 25846) (BitcoinMax) Post by: Bitsky on June 16, 2013, 04:26:20 PM In the past I gave him the benefit of doubt, but I recently followed the deposit address he gave me, just to notice that one of the addresses where the coins went to is still in use and currently holds 1000BTC.
Payb.tc/E&G/Not@Las/chowyunfat/Tackleberry/Hightower explained that he did not forward investments from his customers to Pirate, but just made some internal accounting changes regarding his own Pirate investment. Effectively, this not only broke the traceability of the coins, but also serves as an excuse as to why Piratecoins are still moving. At first I entirely blamed Pirate for the loss, but it feels more like a separate scam. Until Pirate defaulted, Payb.tc/E&G/Not@Las/chowyunfat/Tackleberry/Hightower put a lot of effort into his website and forum thread to attract more investors. After the default, he dropped them like hot potatoes, offering no support at all. Because he constantly changes his username it's better to just use the userid: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=25846 1. He's still active on the board, but refuses to respond to anything BitcoinMax related. There is no explanation or support at all. 2. He broke traceability with his internal accounting. Honestly, how complex was it to just forward the coins? 3. This also makes it impossible to tell if he had as many coins in BS&T as he received. 4. He refused to release investment details to "protect his investors" even to the investors. 5. He still has not paid several withdrawal requests which were made before Pirate defaulted. 6. He keeps changing his name. Why? That's why I would like to see a scammer tag under his name.

You do realize they don't do scammer tags any more? We're supposed to use the new "Trust" system instead. ::) Title: Re: Scammer label for Payb.tc/E&G (user 25846) (BitcoinMax) Post by: Bitsky on June 30, 2013, 12:11:04 PM I thought the trust system would be an additional feature since most scammers still have their label.
Title: Re: Scammer label for Payb.tc/E&G (user 25846) (BitcoinMax) Post by: dwolfman on July 01, 2013, 04:15:57 AM People who have the tags were given them before the new system was implemented. It is possible that the admins may eventually decide to remove them, but I've not seen anything on that yet.
I do know it has been repeatedly pointed out in other threads that they no longer give out scammer tags because of the new trust system.

He broke traceability with his internal accounting. Honestly, how complex was it to just forward the coins? Most probably to was a con from the start.3. This also makes it impossible to tell if he had as many coins in BS&T as he received. His "investors" could compute how much Ian scammed out of them. So why should he do this?4. He refused to release investment details to "protect his investors" even to the investors. 5. He still has not paid several withdrawal requests which were made before Pirate defaulted. He simply stole it for personal gain.6. He keeps changing his name. Why? To cover his tracks?That's why I would like to see a scammer tag under his name. Will never happen. One has to scam theymos personally to get a scammer tag. The admin does not care about the average bitcoin user...Title: Re: Scammer label for Payb.tc/E&G (user 25846) (BitcoinMax) Post by: MPOE-PR on July 01, 2013, 02:36:49 PM In the past I gave him the benefit of doubt, but I recently followed the deposit address he gave me, just to notice that one of the addresses where the coins went to is still in use and currently holds 1000BTC.
