I've collected proofs that you are a scammer.

Send 1 BTC to my address and I'll keep them for me

I replied to this individuals PM with the following;

I know that you are either mistaken or a liar. How do I know this? Because I am not now, or will I ever be, a scammer...

I have also forwarded this PM from PsychoKiller (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=150343) to the forum administrative staff with an inquiry on the forums policy on blackmail.

It is possible that this individual has incorrect information or has misconstrued information that may have nothing to do with SolarWind. Considering the individuals attempt at extortion, it is doubtful that they have any information of any relevance. I have also considered that this individual may only suspect that I am running a scam and sent the PM in an attempt to 'smoke me out,' hoping it would scare me into a confession or that I would just bolt and run, never to be heard from again.

I will not be blackmailed nor bullied...

I Challenge PsychoKiller (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=150343) to come forward,.. reveal the user ID that they usually use in this forum and reveal the 'proof' so that I may address these claims fairly. I have set up this thread solely for this purpose.

Negative rep'd. Good luck getting anybody to believe him now.

Edit: And BTW you have his profile linked incorrectly twice. The correct link for his profile is: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=150343

Send them a PM simply asking: "Do you know that extortion is a felony punishable by fine or imprisonment?"

I am sure it is just some kid trying to get free bitcoin not knowing what they are doing is illegal.

I expect that they know fine well it is illegal, they probably think though that the way these forums work, especially the Scam forum where people are generally guilty until proven innocent, they would be able to get some easy money as the OP would be scared into handing over the bitcoin.

Hey Guys, thanks for your comments...

I think both of you are nearly equal on the probability that you are (at least partially) correct. But consider, when you analyze the profile you can tell that the intention was to be intimidating. The name PsychoKiller, the profile picture which is sinisterly staring you down and the hint of a threatening coldness to the message, all give me the impression of an anti-social individual. I don't think this is the first (or the last) time they have attempted this. Scammer accusations spread like wildfire in the bitcoin community and PyschoKiller knows it. Many might just pay a little something to avoid the headache or potential end to their business venture. I think this is why PsychoKiller chose such a small amount, just enough to make him/her feel good, and just enough that someone might be tempted to just pay and hope he/she goes away.

An obvious alt.  But whose?  And when do you plan to release these shares the us "partners'?  Once your order is shipped?  When do you think it will ship?

The individual is not as clever as they think and now, I think I know what there alt is, but I'll not engage in innuendo or rumor. Indeed, THAT INDIVIDUAL should be aware that I am on to your identity, but I will not hold it against you anymore. The action you took was born in fear and lack, I will not begrudge the starving man when he tries to steal bread to eat but offer him work instead.

Now, to monbox's question. This is a startup company and some details are still in the works. I have December and January orders in at Cointerra and the company needs to raise capital to get things off the ground. That means that I have little time to reach the companies funding goals. From our previous communications I know that you are intelligent enough to understand that some things take time. I ask you to please have patients, I am targeting the availability of shares for purchase in a few weeks. Right know I have a few people working on the website and another is helping to get the business structure in order and ready for public release. You should be aware that it will still take some time for investors to realize any profits, even after the company is in full operation.

I wouldn't worry too much, most people on the forum are smart enough to see right through any unsubstantiated accusations.  No one will believe accusations from a newbie with negative trust.

As for the profile picture, that is just the lead singer from Korn which is not a bad band, they had a few good songs.  And the name PyschoKiller, they might just be a Talking Heads fan as well.

Thanks,

I'm not worried in the least, as for the picture, I know who it is. I was only pointing out my observations as to the way the individual was 'trying' to condition the reader (me of course.) Mostly, I am making the individual aware that I am wise to such tactics, and that I can not be easily manipulated. But I do appreciate your reassurance, nice to know some people still try to look out for others.
