Title: Did TradeFortress every pay back all the money after that inputs.io scandal Post by: tspacepilot on February 19, 2014, 01:35:15 AM As the topic suggests, I was just thinking about all that hoopla surrounding the TradeFortress empire that went down at the end of last year. There were many thread of accusations and tabulations about what was owed and to whom. Now that the topic is not so hot, I'm just wondering how everything ended up shaking out. Did he ever pay back his customers? Is he still active in the community?

Yes he may still be active in this community, so be careful.

I don't think everyone got all their coins back. I think many, maybe even most, got some coins back. There is still an active scammer thread.

I'd be extremely surprised if he even paid back half of what he stole and even then he probably made a killing off of it back when BTC was much higher.

I didn't fall in the group with over 1 BTC in my account so I was basically screwed. I never quite understood that logic. Probably most people had less than 1 BTC in there, so he figured he wouldn't pay that group back! ::)

He disappeared with many thousands of coins, scattering a few crumbs to people on his back to sow confusion and buy time for his escape.
A long con well executed. Title: Re: Did TradeFortress every pay back all the money after that inputs.io scandal Post by: Raya on February 19, 2014, 08:46:41 PM He gave small amounts back to look legit and took millions of Bitcoin with on his holidays.
Title: Re: Did TradeFortress every pay back all the money after that inputs.io scandal Post by: tspacepilot on February 24, 2014, 08:35:44 AM No he didn't pay back. Yes he may still be active in this community, so be careful. Whoa, I'll be careful then! So from this small and unscientific sample, there seems to be strong consensus that he just took the money and ran. I guess that's probably the case because if he was interested in rebuilding his reputation (and had legitimately been hacked) then he would probably still be posting on here and slowly paying people back. Anywhoo, luckily I only used inputs to withdrawl from coinchat and never kept the money in there so I was lucky on this one.

Comical! :D
