Not sure what you can do actually, I had a read through and its likely he will just leave. Account since April, $12,000 for working a forum account for 5 months.

This should be a lesson that people are setting up accounts and building trust for the big scam. Always use escrow from very established members. (John for example)

Really sorry pal.

Wow, I know it gets banded about all the time, but for $12,000 why didn't you use escrow?

Is there a way to get Friedcat to freeze the shares/dividends associated with tkones nominated address until he returns to the forum and resolves this?

This is what should happen.

I actually disagree with this, it isn't Friedcat's responsibility to deal with such situations. The only time Friedcat would be responsible in my opinion is if someone is hacked and shares are transferred without their permission.

Perhaps if watertech666 were to pay a 30% penalty to Friedcat maybe that would be a good incentive, but yeah I understand its got nothing to do with Friedcat. I am just angry I guess at the scammer.

Sure it's not his responsibility, but it would be the right thing to do. 

The shares no longer belong to that address.  They must have been transferred to someone else.  It would be interesting to know to whom.

I just received a PM that Friedcat has transferred the ASICMiner shares. Can you confirm this, watertech666?

If this really happened I will be so happy.

Please confirm.  This will make me happy if true.
