I would like all of the above accounts to be restricted to be unable to further edit and be unable to further delete any of their posts. A scammer tag and/or an untrustworthy tag would really be preferable, however the accounts really need to have the ability to edit/delete their posts be disabled.

Although the forum does not usually get involved in scams, it has in the past gotten involved in the un-delation of posts/threads. Additionally, there is no question that James Volpe (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1046791.msg11275422#msg11275422) is a scammer, as he has previously admitted (https://archive.is/vVsIH) to stealing funds from his "investors", (he actually admitted to it previouisly (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=930008.msg10240011#msg10240011) however he deleted the posts prior to me archiving the thread - the quotes inside the post are accurate).

James is attempting to cover his tracks by attempting to cover up evidence against him in a number of scams, as he was arrogant enough to think he was not able to have his "real life" identity uncovered which he was incorrect in assuming. He has a history of deleting all of the posts that his scammer accounts have ever posted and a history of deleting all the posts in a self moderated thread after he scams.

Additionally he has very recently edited the OP of threads he has created to make it look like his posts were very much unrelated to threads he created (which were very often related to various scams) and this will make it much more difficult to investigate his scams and potentially bring civil and/or criminal charges against him. He has done this in 21 of the most recent 40 (remaining) posts that he has not deleted. here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1038343.msg11198958#msg11198958), here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1038301.msg11198503#msg11198503), here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1034655.msg11163147#msg11163147), here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=929204.msg10201112#msg10201112), here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=736559.msg8322724#msg8322724), here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=731056.msg8262380#msg8262380), here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=730949.msg8260919#msg8260919), here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=722659.msg8164226#msg8164226), here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=704419.msg7964720#msg7964720), here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=701180.msg7924215#msg7924215), ,here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=699805.msg7907108#msg7907108), here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=684174.msg7762020#msg7762020), here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=683641.msg7753751#msg7753751), here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=672956.msg7619444#msg7619444), here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=667944.msg7547773#msg7547773), here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=667511.msg7539872#msg7539872), here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=662118.msg7464100#msg7464100), here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=660803.msg7442080#msg7442080), and here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=643291.msg7183328#msg7183328) are all examples that TheGambler has done of this, and I do not doubt that he has engaged in similar practices on his other accounts.

I also believe that James was behind the hacking (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=917636.0;all) of what I believe to be theymos's close personal friend Akka (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=60141) several months ago.

Additionally, I would appreciate it if someone could review the linked (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1046791.msg11275422#msg11275422)dox[/url] to ensure it conforms with forum policy.

Getting the dox was easy and relied on public information. First, I used blockchain (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1046791.msg11275421#msg11275421) evidence to link the account dzeros (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=508301) to the account TheGambler (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=152722). I knew that he was in the GMT +10 time zone (that included, but is not limited to Melbourne, Australia) in this (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1034655.0;all) thread (the OP that contained the image has since been edited, however this (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1034655.msg11163893#msg11163893) post that remains confirms it). I then found the Skype (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1044349.0) handle (archive (https://archive.is/VEWF8)) that was posted by dzeros, which matched exactly the twitter handle (https://archive.is/NcWf3) exactly, and had posted a facebook account (http://imgur.com/A3VucA8) whose name very closely matched the facebook username (http://imgur.com/MPXJZ4u) of one of his friends. I was able to find a whois entry (https://archive.is/UUCoh) with a domain that matches the name of the above Facebook account. A search of the above domain resulted in the phone number and address (https://archive.is/5fx8g) associated with the above domain that was located in the above timezone.

This person has overall created an unsafe environment for the community to trade in and has overall wreaked havoc within the community. A lot of time and effort has been put into finding the various alts and scams this person carried out, especially considering the fact that he put in great effort in order to avoid detection.

On a somewhat related note as to how much effort was put into finding this person, and stopping his scams in their tracks, I would like to request a VIP account, or if not then a donator account, or if not then at the very least a custom title of "honorary legendary" member. As a result of my time and effort, someone who has scammed massive amounts of money will likely no longer attempt to scam here and someone who has spammed massively (via bump spam of his various shill alts for his various HYIP scams) will no longer spam.

I would also like to add TheGambler - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=152722 to the list of accounts that need edits undone and posts undeleted. This was the account that had the most posts deleted and was how this activity was discovered.

He can no longer edit or delete his posts, or delete others posts in self moderated threads, but theymos will have to deal with the restoring posts, he can do it far easier/faster than I can when it's a lot.

Thanks. It looks like his newbie accounts also had the imposter warning removed when he sends PMs. I've received a few spam PMs from him with a sob story from dzeros that would normally have the warning but does not. It should be fine though because he doesn't have any imposter accounts.

You would like to request honorary or donator just because you stop his scam?

At least quickseller try to make this forum clean from scam attempt. We should proud for that.

I wouldn't question or argue with that, as it is true. But perhaps, when he gives negative trust to other accounts where no scam was obvious, then he should consider his trust and atleast speak to the person being accused.

well first of all it really isn't a big deal either way. However my argument is that I have probably put more then 10 BTC worth of time/effort/work into finding and stopping his various scams and into finding his dox. And as a result of my efforts that he will most likely stop attempting to scam on here, and as a result of that the marketplace sections will overall be safer, especially considering that people will probably think twice in the future before they try to start similar type scams as they will see there is real risk of facing legal consequences.

There is any estimate when this should be completed? I am wanting to contact stakeholders in the bitcoin gambling arena to lobby Australian Law Enforcement to take action against James Volpe, however my argument for them doing so will be much stronger once the posts from the accounts in the OP are restored.

Doesn't this forum have a whole sub where ponzi schemes are advertised?
What, exactly, did James Volpe do to warrant "contact[ing] stakeholders in the bitcoin gambling arena to lobby Australian Law Enforcement to take action against [him]"

BTW, isn't he a 17 year old kid? Have you tried calling his mom before calling in a nuclear strike?

For argument's sake, just how would you phrase your request? I'll offer you a draft to work from:

He has scammed on this forum many times. He has stolen an estimated 100 BTC from various Ponzi and HYIP scams. He has made it more dangerous to gamble with Bitcoin because of the increased risk of getting scammed and gamblers will not want to gamble because they fear that their bets are not going to be fair.

His mothers identity (at least her name) has been known for years so I assume that someone has contacted her in the past. Regardless I don't see what contacting her is going to do. This guy has been scamming for years and getting spanked by his parents is not going to get him to stop scamming in the future.

So you haven't even called his mom, because you "assume that someone has contacted her in the past"? You realize how ridiculous that sounds?
Why don't you give her a ring & make sure she knows, instead of assuming & "lobbying Australian Law Enforcement"? Seems like a reasonable first step, no?
Would take all of 5 minutes.

What is calling his mom going to accomplish? The estimated amount he has stolen is in the tens of thousands of dollars. In most places that would be considered to be a felony. The estimate only covers his scams on bitcointalk which only started around 18 months ago, however there is evidence that he was scamming for 4-5 years so the total amount scammed is likely higher.

My guess is you're simply trying to generate some drama instead of getting anything done.
The reason internet ponzi schemes are so popular is they target the stupid, poor gamblers--people who are unlikely to press charges. Each victim has a pittance invested, and is not likely to be willing to testify. Unless you personally lost money, you have no standing in this case--can't press charges.

Add the fact that you're dealing with a minor, add "across national boundaries," add slim chance of getting your money back, and going after $24k starts sounding absurd. Yeah, it's felony theft in US, pretty much on par with stealing a car. Probation, unless black & poor. Is he black & poor?

And, of course, if you're not even willing to call the kid's parents, I really doubt that you'll follow through with any of this. I know this because of the rich, storied history of Bitcoin scams.
Not that I have anything against all the posts being restored, just 99% sure that no legal action will be taken.
'Prove me wrong.

P.S. Which "stakeholders in the bitcoin gambling arena" do you suppose would be interested in pursuing this case?

I am not sure why you are posting from an alt account in order to try to get me to not try to have charges brought against this guy.

Testimony will probably not be necessary by his victims as there is evidence against him that can hopefully get a conviction on the forum.

You are right, his victims were greedy morons however that doesn't mean it is okay to steal from them. You are right that they are unlikely going to attempt to have charges brought against him because they have individually lost small amounts.

The difference between what he did and stealing a car is that he did it many times and took advantage of many people (stole from many people) while stealing a car involves generally one victim and one act. You could argue that someone was desperate for money when stealing a car while the same arguement cannot be made with this guy.

I would not need to have standing for criminal charges to be brought against him as the legal theory behind most criminal laws is that a crime harms society as a whole so society will bring criminal charges (via a government prosecution) against him. This is how a murderer can be criminally charged because the person he killed obviously cannot bring charges - they are dead.

The plan is to attempt to have owners of large Bitcoin casinos lobby Australian law enforcement bring charges against this kid as their business was likely harmed due to his ponzis have caused gamblers have less faith in Bitcoin related gambling when gambling on his HYIP schemes proved to be unfair. If none of the people I ask are willing to lobby law enforcement to have charges brought against him then I will do it myself although I am half a world away from them so doing it myself would likely be more difficult.

Charges have been brought against people who ran ponzis in the past - see pirate40. This kid has even gone as far as to outright admit to scamming people on here and admit to hacking accounts and spreading malware.

No, I encourage you "to have charges brought against this guy." That's what "prove me wrong" is all about. I'm just saying that you will not follow thorough, and are only attention-seeking, trying to turn swindlers stealing from swindlers into high drama. If you do manage "to have charges brought against this guy," I'll be amazed & apologize. Word of honor.
dunno. he could be a junkie. I understand those are desperate all the time. Besides, multiple small amounts would make it multiple misdemeanors, not very enticing to prosecute.
That's why you can not press charges in a murder case. You can report a murder, but it's the state who chooses to press charges. If this was happening in US, the case would be "State v. James Volpe," not "Anonymous v. James Volpe."

If [whatever Australian authorities you plan to contact] chose to go after this kid, they (through US counterparts) will requisition Bitcointalk logs, just as it was done with Trendon, Josh, etc., etc. Nothing could be simpler.
"Ponzis have caused gamblers have less faith in Bitcoin related gambling when gambling on his HYIP schemes proved to be unfair"?!
"A high-yield investment program (HYIP) is a type of Ponzi scheme, an investment scam that promises unsustainably high return on investment by paying previous investors with the money invested by new investors. Most of these scams work from anonymous offshore bases which make them hard to track down." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-yield_investment_program)
DUH?
Pirate stole millions & is an adult. As far as I know, he's not in jail & no one will see a penny back.
And yeah, the kid's bad news. Talking about it on Bitcointalk is just milking the drama. And pretty low-grade drama at that. I mean, there's always Jon and Graet & all the folks who are well-known & stole substantially more interesting amounts.
The ponzi victims don't want a white knight to prance in & resque them from their stupidity. They'll defend their right to be scammed, over and over again, as long as they can still afford an internet connection. Trust me, I know :D
But then again, feel free prove me wrong.

Well I obviously cannot guarantee any specific results however I can try to see that he is criminally charged, and can follow through.

He could be a junkie however he appears to be more of a gambling addict as he has lost the money he scammed by gambling on at least one occasion.

The problem with the authorities requesting evidence from the forum is that they would need probable cause in order to request information and they need some level of evidence of a crime to start investigating.

The difference between a traditional ponzi and what this kid did was that this kid build up trust of the ponzi and then instead of using new money to pay back old investors, he simply stole the new money and paid old investors nothing. Gamblers may not fully understand the risks involved in "investing" in a ponzi and ponzis are certainly not provably fair.

You are right, any case against this guy will likely be US v. Violpe or Australia v. Volpe however the prosecution /law enforcement needs to be made aware of his crimes to potentially investigate and prosecute them. If they don't know about them then they obviously can't prosecute them. As it stands now his crimes are pretty well covered up as he deleted and edited his posts.

No the greedy morons do not need a white knight however I think James should be held accountable for his actions. What he has done is wrong in a number of ways and he should be punished for what he has done (via legal means).

^^^
OK. The kid's been doing it since he was 12/13 years old, a quick Google search nets piles of results.

I'm ~85% sure that theymos won't restore the posts, but he'll certainly provide them if requested by the authorities. In the mean time, nothing is stopping you from getting in touch with his parents/Aus. authorities. My guess is 50% chance of you not initiating contact, 99% chance of not following through if no instant gratification.

If you did contact his parents/whatever authorities, and posted your progress, people might take you more seriously. Because this forum has never lacked blusterous talkers with 0 follow-through. See pretty every ponzi thread and pretty much every "Securities" thread.

Of course, asking you to post progress is a bit of a catch-22: serious people seldom threaten legal action on internet forums or discuss their strategies.
Same applies to whiteknighting willing participants in HIYP/Ponzi schemes.
If you've been around as long as I have, you'd understand that these people (sometimes subcounciously) want to be scammed, it's an S&M kink.
What you're basically doing is galloping into an S&M dungeon & rescuing the damsel tied to a chair with a pink gag in her mouth.
But you go right ahead, I'm sure she'll thank you later :D

theymos has already restored a number of James's threads from self moderated threads prior to me finding his dox, however James recently deleted his posts on his accounts that were not banned. As of now the evidence against him is flimsy at best because of the lack of posts so contacting them now would likely result in an open and closed case in his favor which is not what I want.

You request is too broad/complicated. I can't do most of that stuff automatically.

Give me a list of topics and I'll restore posts by those users that used to be in those topics.

After I restore the posts, give me a (preferably short) list of posts that you want the edit logs for. I can't unedit posts automatically.

I will research and get a list for you within 24 hours. Thanks.

Not sure you understand how the legal system works. [In US] a person may not be retried for the same crime if found innocent. This doesn't mean that he could not be charged with a crime if sufficient evidence surfaces at a later date. In other words, if I report a murder and there's not enough evidence to press charges, you can be reasonably sure that the murderer will be charged if I come up with the smoking gun at a later date. So no, reporting him now would not "result in an open and closed case in his favor," not unless the case goes to trial & he's acquitted. Pretty sure Australian law is similar.

BTW, which posts of TheGambler were restored? Looking at his profile, he has 101 posts & hero status, and the few posts I've clicked on are irrelevant one-liners?
Edit: Or was some other account restored?

Yes in the U.S., you cannot be retried if you are found not guilty for the same crime. However if you approach a law enforcement agency with flimsy evidence of a crime, and not enough evidence to establish probable cause then when additional evidence is presented to them they may not take it as seriously (thinking I am crying wolf ect) and they are less likely to spend additional of their limited resources investigating a case.

I am not sure if any of TheGamblers posts were undeleted however I do know that the posts in a number of his scam threads were undeleted, notably his bitcoin stocks thread, and a few others I believe, I think bit-dividends is another one and two or three others.

TheGamblers posts are not one liners. They have mostly been edited to make it look like he is responding to random threads with one liners. If you go to his post history then click on the posts he was making then you will see that he edited the posts and moved the threads he created. The conversations within the threads he created are very different from what he edited his posts to.

Please see below for the threads I would like posts restored from. I apologize for the long list, however James Volpe did delete a lot of posts. Threads from the top and the bottom (the last 20 or so) should be given priority, as well as any threads I marked as self moderated. I have put several hours into finding these threads, and I thank you for your help in advance.

Also TheGambler as not mentioned in the OP, however his posts should obviously be undeleted as well. Thanks again

Is there any update to this? I understand that the forum getting hacked likely delayed this somewhat however it would be appreciated to get some kind of timeframe or if this will even be possible.

@Quickseller

I spent a little bit of time looking into this massive amount of work.

Impressive to say the least.

Looks like you'll definitely expand on Vod's legacy.

Keep up the good work.


~BCX~

If people want to report Australian-based stuff, ACORN is the appropriate agency.

Sweet. Thanks for the info. I am now just waiting on posts from the above threads to be recovered so I can present solid evidence of him running illegal ponzi sites and of him stealing thousands/tens of thousands of dollars worth of bitcoin

Bump  Still need his posts un-deleted.

Could perhaps these posts be put into the archival section so there is still a public record without monkeying with the main threads? This might be the best way to preserve the evidence as well so you can see the before and after.

Why did you make this request public? wouldnt it be more professional to ask badbear and theymos and the global moderators for this in a pm?

My guess is he probably has, and has been ignored much like he is being ignored now. Funny how priorities change when they aren't personally offended by a complaint. If it threatens their clout and control of the trust system they are all over it. When it means busting a scammer they will get to it just after they get to putting up the new forums.

wow that's a huge list of scams, I don't do much reading in here but is this info accurate? (serious Question)


Lucky this little shit didn't scam me or i'd drive over to his place and knock him the fuck out!!!

That list of ~100 threads are threads that I believe he deleted posts on. They are also threads that I believe that there could be evidence of him scamming, or evidence linking him to his numerous scams.

If you, or someone you know was scammed by him, then I posted his dox here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1046791.0), and you can use it to press charges against him.

yeah, been following that thread, mainly because he lives near me...felt like popping over there and letting him know that scamming is not on... Lucky for him I wasn't scammed by him.. ..soz for offtopic I should have posted in the dox thread...... I just couldnt believe my eyes when I saw how many scams this degenerate has pulled on here....

Hey cyrus, is there any chance that you can do this for  bdonlan (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=359), and anyone else that moreia is probably posting as? Thanks.

If this hasn’t already been done, can this guy also be restricted from being able to delete posts and edit his posts? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=359 bdonlan
