All I'm saying is that I'm happy how terrytibs is handling this and trying yo fix his mistakes.

Yeah, I know I was a bit of a douche to him some times...


Title: Re: I'm refunding the victims of my terrible scam
Post by: rTech on February 24, 2012, 01:25:51 AM
Im also happy as i hope my original..

Quote
Update:
As Terry is not willing to refund whole sum, im considering "share the loss tactique" so if even half is refunded (then we both share this shitty situation)

Quote
Why this solution:
I really think that TT has made good things that help this community and is pretty honest. But i dont want to pay for nothing so half by half situation prooves that we both get bad luck and got scammed by 3rd party seller."

..was reason atleast partially for this solution. That is posted in my original Spotify scammer topic.

Quote
"I personally lost 5BTC for him
1.5btc 3mth
2.0btc 3mth
1.5btc 3mth (i gived this as present for my good pal)"

but im here also wanting to show some understanding so im good if i get 2btc back (of total i paid 5btc)

Terry, Matthew was next to me and wanted me to take the time to tell you that he is happy you did this and gives you a thumbs up. He actually said "Thumbs up--- in the butt!" but I didn't want to repeat that.. which I just did.

As in "good will" we decided to share loss.

Im happy to announce that im good with refund amount of 2btc.

At my part, this case is closed and sealed.

I also want to state " i have no hard feelings."

Best regards, rTech

Good job, TT! I hope that we're able to find everyone and get them to reply to you so we can remove that tag of yours! I'll dig through my PMs to see if I have anything from anybody else.

Edit: Bleh, totally forgot that I didn't head this investigation. I don't have information from anybody. :(

Because Inaba has completely ignored my request to verify in this thread that a refund has taken place, I'm posting it myself:
Hey,

You sent me these two codes for a total of 4 BTC:

https://www.spotify.com/code/PHKDh2WceG
https://www.spotify.com/code/cUsE8uk2hX

1.5 BTC refund and we're even.

Go ahead and send to address in my sig.

Thanks!
1.5 BTC incoming!
Please confirm in this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=65946.0

I didn't ignore your request, I just got home and checked my wallet.

Post by: terrytibbs on February 25, 2012, 04:24:21 AM
I just received what is probably the nicest and most sincere message I've ever gotten on these boards:
I bought a couple of codes from you, but I am not seeking a refund. You seem like a fair dealer who got screwed by a bad supplier.

Anyway, pay this forward sometime in the future to someone else needing redemption.

Take care.

As a sidenote: If you want to make your addresses illegible, use a filled black bar. With some effort I would be able to find that address you "obscured" easily. But in this case it's easier to just take those first characters of the address terry sent to, and then find a bunch of other addresses owned by you due to association in transactions.

Just a heads up. Send me a PM if you want to fix this retroactively and would like me to remove the picture from my post.

Hi, I'm looking for a refund for bitscalper. My account was *. I'm not sure the total amount I deposited, Currently there was about 81btc in my account and 90 in pending withdrawals. About 21btc of that was interest. I am not looking to get the interest back, just what I put in.

Glad to see you in good standings, terrytibbs. What a trouper!

~Bruno~

Aside: I wanted to make sure I used the correct word--trooper or trouper. I'm still not sure, but check out the quoted text below.

Quote
A screenwriter, Vance apparently thought of himself as belonging to the acting profession, yet he used an unexpected spelling.
With two words so similar in origin, meaning, and pronunciation, mix-ups are bound to occur.
Bottom line: If the context has to do with courage, trooper is appropriate. If the context has to do with cooperation, dependability, and the show business attitude of “the show must go on,” then trouper is the word to use.
I once taught a seventh grade class that included a girl suffering from leukemia. She attended school when she could. When she couldn’t, she still did her homework and sent it in. The day I learned that she’d died, I found her last assignment in my mailbox. That little girl was both a trooper and a trouper.

Therefore I ask, is terrytibbs a trooper or a trouper or both?


Title: Re: I'm refunding the victims of my terrible scam

Hahaha I love watching these idiots scramble like eggs to get their refunds after it had been pointed out several times that Bitscalper was highly suspicious.

Have I been misinformed that you are responsible for bitscalper and are offering refunds ?

Thanks


Title: Re: I'm refunding the victims of my terrible scam
Post by: Inaba on February 26, 2012, 03:18:57 PM
Trooper would be the proper word in this instance.  Unless this is all theatrics, then you could possibly use trouper.

In today's installment of Retards Gone Wild:

Hi, I saw your message on the forum. I had an account on bitscalper (retard@mailcan.com) into which I deposited 3.26032 BTC. I tried a couple times to get it out, most recently on Feb 22 (accidentally hit the submit button 3 times).  If you could refund that amount to 16rWqgKwYX6rJuhGmikx9ndt6C9swtTRNm that would be great. There was a tiny amount of scalping profit but I don't mind at all if you just send me the amount of my original deposit. Thanks  :)

I deposited 20 btc in bitscalper. Here is the transaction.

To: 1EYUuxLtKuFFevRuShepev1xiDbU1FsH8E

Terry just sold some shit that ended up getting reversed and didn't send the customers back their money until now.

Dear Terry,

I was recently in downtown Minneapolis and was approached by a remarkably skinny, twitchy, and toothless fellow who needed bus fare to Chicago after losing his wallet and having his car stolen and his wife running off with his children all on the same day, not to mention that he just got paroled and wanted to make a better life for himself. I gave him $20, the exact amount he needed to complete the purchase of the ticket. I was utterly dismayed to see him panhandling on the same corner, three days after I gave him the money to chase his dreams.

Please send my refund to 1FFfN9R2hg7uXcjMCoF5PvnkiCxzpTzDhg at your earliest convenience.

Regards,

Randy Folds

We should start a ranking system for numbers of ignores - Matthew would get the throne!

I know I kid myself thinking that a community of hardnosed libertards would ever embrace someone who has gobs of energy and despises self important academics, but only time will tell.

Besides, no one has to like me to like what I do.

Continue your good work - it's more entertaining since cable TV arrived.
Note that RandyFolds has the darkest ignore button I've seen yet on this forums. Seems you lost  ;)

Strange grammar. Suspiciously googlish.

  • When I get to Korea, I'll buy you a round. - 제가 한국에도착하면 꼭 맥주 한장사줄겁니다!
  • If I ever get to Korea, I'll buy you a round. - 만약에 한국으로 가면 꼭 맥주 한장사줄겁니다!
  • If I was in Korea, I'd buy you a round. - 제가 한국에있었으면 꾹 맥주 한장사줄겠습니다!

And the most important point of all:

술안먹꺼든! ㅋㅋㅋ

I don't drink. Get a pack of Martenelli's Sparkling Apple Cider and you're on.

I think this whole new system is silly and only highlights those people that throw themselves out there to state an opinion on an issue. Pussys don’t need to worry about their ignore color because they don’t have an opinion on anything.

Who said anything about worrying. I want to see how many people ignore me so I can know if I'm over the top or if I'm doing my job correctly. When half the forum ignores me, that's a bit over the top and I should tone it down. When 1/4th ignores me, I'm doing my job.

Yeah, I admit, it was Googlish... I didn't know how to put down "totally," as in "I would totally buy you a beer. " But then I ended up taking it out anyway and since I don't have a hangul keyboard, cut and paste is easier about 10 billion time easier. :)

hehe. For the record, the equivelant slang would probably just be "seriously" instead of "totally", so throw 정말 in there.

No, Scandanavian languages are ET languages.  Unrelated to most other languages on Earth.  Freaks in the north!! :)

I am going on hiatus.

theymos has been given the private key corresponding to Bitcoin address 1terryG9vPoB4ktv9w5eGgCKqCfJtoqF5. I have funded the address with 47 BTC — more than enough to settle any outstanding cases.

He has my full permission to use the funds in issuing refunds to any customers who have decided not to accept the refund when offered one, or only accepted a partial refund (they are entitled to the remainder). I am sending a list these users along with the respective amounts to theymos together with the private key. Any other use is strictly forbidden.

I may claim the funds left in the future.

thanks for the lols

Apologies for bumping this old thread/post, but I stumbled upon the 1terryG... address by accident while conducting an investigation into InstaWallet, due to the fact they haven't returned my 1,132 BTC, going as far as stating that I don't even have a claim, but I digress on that issue.

I found a wallet of interest, making a note of it via the following post:

Ongoing list of InstaWallet wallets of interest. (even named the title of this post such for easy recovery down the road)

https://blockchain.info/address/1uKVtMUK7E2CkVynYa7ytnTu6wGqFTxUV

The tx in question is https://blockchain.info/tx/c67a151ce7e1437be612f0e452e1b319b0d2d3d9e2cef165dbc79e3a8dd41e9d

https://blockchain.info/address/1terryG9vPoB4ktv9w5eGgCKqCfJtoqF5 only had two transactions.

2012-06-19 20:14:06
2013-03-29 16:37:23 (2 days prior to the InstaWallet supposed "hack")

After adding bitcoins to bring the amount to an even 50 BTC, the wallet was moved to https://blockchain.info/address/1uKVtMUK7E2CkVynYa7ytnTu6wGqFTxUV, of which was the last deposit into this wallet, for a grand total of 600 BTC that not one satoshi has ever been spent.

The 1uKVtMUK7E2CkVynYa7ytnTu6wGqFTxUV wallet was created on 2013-03-27 23:20:37, and received two transactions from InstaWallet's Hot Wallet, including the last odd amount, of which is odd, in and of itself.

The question I now have is who owns https://blockchain.info/address/1uKVtMUK7E2CkVynYa7ytnTu6wGqFTxUV and, moreover, how is it connected to InstaWallet?

Don't sure if it's relevant to my investigation of InstaWallet, but terrytibbs last posted on January 12, 2013, 03:51:16 PM, and still stops by to lurk.

I do. I had intended to withdraw my coins from Instawallet for a long time, before finally doing in smaller chunks in the week preceding the "hack". In hindsight, it appears I was quite lucky.

I am in no way affiliated with Instawallet or its operators. Great detective work, though!
