I used to hang out on the minecraft server. I talked to him a lot before he disappeared. I can't tell you that he didn't steal your coins, but  i can tell you he seemed like a good enough person. He started showing up less and less until his server went offline. I was really sad about it actually. People always said he had a whole lot of real life problems he had to attend to. Sometimes, real life gets in the way. We were in the process of updating the casino too. He had paid us before for working on it. He might have gone rouge and just took all the coins but to me he seemed like a good man. He put a lot of time into developing these things and i don't feel like he would just leave them like this if he didn't have to. Anyways, unfortunately I don't have any real life contact with him. Good luck with that.

He always came over as a fair guy. I still don't believe he is intentionally scamming anyone, until proven otherwise.

Would be interesting if someone on this forum knows his contact information and can reach out to him for an explanation, if he is even still alive.

Has anyone else had their balance disappear from bitads?

Your balance: 0.00000015 Ƀ

Should be about 0.03 BTC

From my dealings with him I came to the conclusion he was a decent guy, but the fact remains that we are out the Bitcoin we had on his site. I am hopeful he will make good on things. Any information on getting in touch with him is appreciated.

0.38 BTC here on my account.

The admin seemed like a nice guy, but I don't see a reason why he would withdraw all site funds and put them through a mixing service unless he, dare I say, stole the funds.

Wouldn't make sense for him to steal the funds, I personally would have been interested in buying that service for more than the sites total user funds. He's probably having some sort of real life issues, if he's short on funds he could just auction off those services. Hopefully he returns to clear up this situation, until then it wouldn't be a bad idea to add negative trust with a note to his profile.

I didn't think he was scamming intentionally either, but how do explain this (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=267825.msg5476771#msg5476771)? If he's able to make that transaction he could also refill the site address.

Nope. Do you have any active bid?

Ah yeah, I probably did. Thought I deactivated them though.

I had 0.12 in my account when he disappeared it is down to 0.08 now for some reason but I can't see me ever getting my bitcoin out so it doesn't matter.

It seems he sold users info to other companies, just received this email on my BitAds exclusive email:
Are you sure that you only used it for BitAds? Because I also received that e-mail on one of the e-mail addresses that I did not use for BitAds. It doesn't sound like a move that he would make since he could earn a lot more from just selling BitAds/BitVegas. Bit weird if you ask me.

I can't tell I'm 100% sure, our mind sometimes trick us, but I could say I'm 99.9% sure.
The inbox only has one email, and it's from CampBX. And I didn't receive any other CampBX email to my other inbox's.
Hmmm, well it is strange. I agree with you on that.

Definitely confirmed, since I don't just use a +bitads addition to my address, which is 1) fakeable 2) optional to begin with.

I'm using a completely separate and unique address which even contains a random part to prevent guessing (so you can't know the address just from knowing that I visit some site).

One of the nights I was playing there the roulette was getting wonky, not just for me but a lot of players. It kept hitting red non-stop. Staff was disinterested in investigating and then a month later the server shut down. They have a lot of explaining to do if they want my respect. I had been a member of BitVegas long before the change to the fancier map. It's sad to see a community built up and then destroyed by just a few people.

Yes, I remember losing thousands of USD to BitVegas via gambling :P But it doesn't seem like Murderscene would just up and go with people's coins from BitAds and BitVegas. Obviously right now we have to consider this possibility but it still surprises me.

I highly doubt it. He wasn't doing anything illegal. He had his servers in Germany, so that nobody would break USA based rules and that the server was allowed to exist. He explicitly said this on one of the shows he was invited to. To lazy to search for them now.

I was for a while, but I got tired of the shit I was getting from the "team" and handed the world files to The_Untitled1 and then stopped paying for the fluctis server. One of our team members was being a complete ass and made us lose one of our team members who was providing a VPS before I purchased a fluctis server and everything just went downhill from there.
