Title: marcotheminer selling positive trust accounts and stealing signature payments
Post by: 51percemt on October 29, 2014, 08:42:28 AM
It looks like marcotheminer (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=147773) is engaging in the practice of selling accounts with positive trust.

On Oct 1, MikeCorleone (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=156520) posted on his thread (the post is now edited to say "all good" - hiding the evidence of requesting the loan). However marcotheminer quoted what he posted confirming the loan. See below:
All good.
Loan amount: 0.4 to 0.5
Collateral: My Account - Same as last
Term length: 2 Weeks
Refund: 0.46 or 0.56

Let me know if you still are capable of this. I'm online now to make the account details trade off.


Thanks again,
Mike

I believe that ValueAccounts (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=388894) is an alt of marcotheminer as it is selling several accounts that have defaulted on loans.

One of the accounts that is being sold by this account:
Senior Member #1 Green Trust
Created in 2013
300 - 364 activity
Account does not have an avatar.
Green Trust
This matches MikeCorleone as all he would need to do is make one post to get the activity to be over 300.

If he is not engaging in the sale of trusted accounts then he is engaged in stealing accounts as a loan request was clearly made.

He also seems to be engaged in the practice of stealing signature campaign payments. A review of his trust shows that in September he had two paid signatures on his signature https://i.imgur.com/i2vC4pQ.pngThis is despite the fact that dicebitco.in had rules against having any other signature then their own.

I PMed him earlier expressing interest in that very account. I don't see how you can call it stealing if the loan taker defaulted.

Since you clearly have been following him around for sometime, can you list the other accounts he owns?

There is one which he holds now which is claimed to have been a hacked one https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=750507.msg9283585#msg9283585

I am surprised he needed to get a 2nd account to sell. He runs a loan taking collateral accounts, so it would be accepted that he will have to sell them.

I don't see how any of his actions can be considered scamming.

How do you know that he actually made the loan? The post requesting the loan was edited. He could have changed the BTC address when he quoted the post requesting the loan and sent the btc to himself.

Plus he is advertising an account with positive trust so whoever buys it will be able to scam because most are willing to not use escrow with positive trust accounts.

I don't see how any of his actions can be considered scamming.
He had two paid signatures on his account, both of which he was getting paid for, both signature campaigns have rules that say their signature is the only paid signature allowed.

If the guy defaults I don't see a problem with selling the account to re cooperate the loss.

i have given my account to macrotheminer for collateral in a loan

there was no suspicious activity when i got it back

and it wouldn't be a scam if he sold it since it was held for collateral on a loan

macrominer was honest when i dealt with him

thats all i got
