Bitcoin Forum

I call all to examine for yourself new exchange called BITGLO before trading there.

This is what I found.
Original topic is censured and they erase everything they don't like.
Now it is LOCKED.

We can see 'team' with 3 members:
Bill Jansen
Johnathan Ryder
Adam Larson

None of the links are working, and names/images are not real.

One of them is a men model for Photographer Karine Grace.

If this is not true, Bitglo team can easily show real links and profiles.
But this is very unlikely.


Other fake team member Adam Larson is real person with real name Carsten Winkler living in Munich, Germany
Works at Winklerconsulting, and has nothing to do with Bitglo at all.

And that is very smart move from them. Less information , less points of potentional security breach.

Fake names and fake team is a smart move... hmmm  ::)

From previous similar cases, my verdict:

It is smart only for them and their selfish needs,
and potential damaging for every person who is trading on that exchange.

thanks important info.
I sold all the BGL just now..

   maybe it's really not all clean ...

 when I asked a question, deleted instantly my post


 
I did the same thing, now I must wait for the withdrawal of funds

asked the question in the discord, was immediately deleted .. how to warn everyone if I immediately delete.

https://twitter.com/Bill_Djons/status/1036754877538557954   make as many retweets as possible

Maybe I was just wrong and this people are real, and they have real links and real bio.

I would really like that dev team be honest, and explain...  They still have time

 then why remove my questions at once? it would be correct to answer them. and now the conclusion is my funds from the stock exchange, for 40 minutes so far nothing has happened, I will wait ... although I already think that I do not see my money.

Sorry buddy ...I wish that you withdraw your funds. Good luck.

I tried to post as soon as I could, when I saw something suspicious.
They where adding to much random coins for free.

The exchange just has a minor bug at the moment that if you hit withdraw all and the total goes beyond 8 decimals then it gets stuck.

The exchange dev's had to manually override these stuck withdrawals as its just a bug. If you make sure your withdraw doesn't have more than 8 decimals, then your transaction will immediately withdraw. Its actually one of the fastest deposit/withdraw times that I have ever seen on an exchange. The team is real. The team custom made the exchange and its newly launched, so yes the devs are working fixing that bug atm.

If anyone's withdrawals are stuck, if you DM one of the dev's on discord, they can cancel that withdraw. Then you can do a new withdraw; Don't go past 6 decimals on the number when you withdraw again (Put the number in manually instead of pushing the withdraw all button), and then your withdraw will immediately go though.

You have a point about posting possibly fake pictures. But real name shouldn't appear. I know that people are trying to screw ideology of anonymity , or just no fully understanding full idea of it. Anyway i must thank you, after all this i got really cheap coins :)
Also withdrawals are working fine if you dont use withdraw all button, That problem ware addressed before and hopefully will be fixed soon :)
PS : Adding coins for free is kinda in the roadmap and cornerstone of this exchange.  

This information is certainly very useful for all traders, but I think this thread is misplaced, if your proof is strong and there are indications that the project is a scam and fraud, it might be better for you to create a thread in this scam thread and lock thread.

 about 6 hours I'm waiting for a conclusion. as you wrote, I clicked on "all". but I can not write in support, translates into discord, and in discord I was blocked after I asked a question!

you write like that, then you are a member of the team or nearby, and say that all this is just a temporary problem and everything will be fine?

p.s. no self-respecting developer will remove posts here (without explanation, and there was no spam, a question was asked) and also remove me completely from the discord (for me links do not work) after I asked about this thread with the charges. In any case, if you are accused of something, it is necessary to explain and not delete all the dissatisfied.
and in addition to my questions - who will follow the forum 24 hours a day, to immediately delete not convenient questions for themselves, they have no other business ???

now and so very hard times for crypto, and frank crooks undermine even more confidence, and all this leads back to centralization. whoever perhaps wants to remain a herd under the leadership of the monopolies.

Last message from devs, hope that clears something up.
It has come to my attention that there has been a bit of spam and defamation going on. Previous to starting Bitglo I was a freelancer and that also included some modeling work.
I would prefer if my personal life/choices didn't get brought up everywhere. If you would like to know any details you can feel free to PM me other wise any spam/defamation will earn you a mute/ban.

PS: If this all checks out i really hope on apology from whoever started this thread. Im saying this as the idea of the project is great and it dosent need bad publicity.

I'm sad that there are so many scams. this project is obviously not good. there are no real people in the team,so all this is just a picture to cheat and collect money.

We dont know that yet. I guess its ok to accuse somebody without proof now. We need more information to be sure either way. 

 here it is not accused of fraud (I hope so) will be asked to pay close attention to this project, in the hope of hearing explanations from the developers (because on their branches they refuse to respond) 2 more years ago, almost everywhere where it was associated with crypto, it was written - "Do not invest more than you are ready to lose."

Im all for it to be vigilant. Problem is that people ( especially newbies) are hypochondriac and will start shitstorm out of few posts. I posted you explanation few posts before, but as you can see hypochondriacs are allready convinced its a scam and related information is pushed back. That also kinda answers why some posts are deleted to stop irrelevant Fud

http://s1.radikali.ru/uploads/2018/9/4/44495b28bf641e08ffbb9fe1d5a21806-full.png (http://radikali.ru/)



 this is my conclusion, such a transaction does not exist, what is it called? https://dogechain.info/tx/5001b695f160d4cea076e750c9f3d6e36f32492611c38a73ffb47460108eeae5
this is me a coin deposit for which I spent only a few hours of my time and a little electricity, do you think I have enough boldness to deposit this stock exchange a decent amount in order to buy this coin?

Cheers for the info  @dkbit98

Look at the 2 jerks above this post.  ::)

Read the thread, you look like an idiot posting a garbage statement like that. 

Its time we cleared up these bot accounts.

Thank you.
My answer to them:

Attention trolls!
I will delete all empty comments, and you will not have enough posts for your bounty ...like Eloncity and all similar

---------------------------------
Regarding BITGLO,
I did not say it is a scam or fraud ...I just called community to do more research
and developers to come clean and be honest.


http://fs5.directupload.net/images/180904/hn5mcb5i.jpg

This is most ridiculous thing I heard recently  :D

Let him post his real links and not fake Linkedin with 1 connection.
Waiting to see other team members links also.
If I am wrong...I will gladly admit any mistake I made.

Another fake thing:
CoinMarketCap, Coinlib, Bitgo and Coindesk Partnership

PS Thanks to the member who reported this.
I will contact all 4 websites regarding Bitglo exchange.

http://fs1.directupload.net/images/180904/k3v66gvg.jpg

why is the team only three members, are the three people capable of doing great work to cover future problems and account for their work?

Just tried 2 withdrawals - BTC and DOGE, went trough Without an issue

http://fs1.directupload.net/images/180904/5tcjwh6y.jpg


I am not exchange developer, and I did not post fake links.
I don't care if you work with Bitglo team or if you have this shitcoin bag,
all your empty newbie posts will also be deleted... moderator promises.

All the best.


PS
Requests sent.
Waiting for response from CoinMarketCap, Coinlib, Coindesk and Bitgo

Why devs of exchange doesnt show proof that they are real person with real photo, ive seen many scam who has photos from other people and put them in linkedin profile.


And yesterday you post that they list for free. Do you know why new exchange list for free?

It is not needed and nobody asked them to put any info in the first place,
but since they did, now it is up for review and investigation...

You've done a good job. I wanted to check Twitter links with the team. but not one does not open a personal account, only the project page. And only three people..that's suspicious... very little information on a major is only and site.

The official ANN topic seems to be taken away from public eye, they locked it themselves?

Yes... it is now locked http://fs5.directupload.net/images/180904/6qf4b5cw.jpg

Coinlib responce update:

http://fs5.directupload.net/images/180904/kh5252ar.jpg

The fact that this is convincing is scary. Thanks for exposing the scammers.

Lots of people complained today about withdraw issues on Bitglo. Once I saw that image I stayed away from exchange. This is not the way legit exchanges works. Better they would not add any images of team at all, then to use someones else. People should be aware of it and coins has to start asking for removing coins to insure safety of community.

This is because no one else agreed that their photos be posted on the board tracked by fbi. Ive traveled around the world six times and never seen this much issues in one place. Who is to address them? Nobody will bother to come and check ur mental conditions because u have gone too far in ur delusional thinking and now u are about to cross the line.

This is good work. You should move this thread/post a link in the Scam Accusations Board (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=83.0). You will get more visibility there, and you might get some Default Trust members to tag the offending account with negative trust.

Thanks man,
I can do it... but I am still waiting for developers to reply, to be honest,
and make some changes for better.

Turns out their "Co-founder and Software Engineer Adam Larson" isn't who they claim either: http://www.sugardaddyforme.com/sugar-daddies/va/dulles/adorabledave (http://www.sugardaddyforme.com/sugar-daddies/va/dulles/adorabledave)

I would like to point out this information comes courtesy of some reverse image searching, and I am not a user of sugardaddyforme.com  ;D

Hehe...
Nice find... but real name is still unknown.
There is a nice and convenient Send Message and Send A Kiss options there  :D


Important update !!!

I found the exact same guy with real name Carsten Winkler living in Munich, Germany

It is terrible thing to use pictures from someone else like this !!
Shame on you Bitglo creators

Congratulations about the job done sharing info, really i not think about search pictures and profiles, i was directly to watch price markets and look doge was, and still being 30 satoshis up others markets, thats insane!! Later i go to their discord and read people cant withdraw and that makes me suspicious. One day later, not only still same price, market show preocesed orders and go one satoshi up (image below), completly insane. If only one person has the option for do withdraws have the way to win near 5 btc only with the two first bying orders at 101 and 100 satoshis. In my opinion, without do a research from profiles its a Scam, nearly 24 hors and nobody take profit about that price difference. That are my two main rules.
When anything its so amazing to be real, maybe its not real. I think is better not be the first do earnings, because its sure ill not be the first scamed.

Just got banned as well for linking to this topic and warning people, they won't reply to it but just straight out ban your ass for trying to expose them with proof. If you just call it scam and say no more in there they won't ban you so if someone can infiltrate and DM all users in there with the information they need the Discord will be dead very soon. Not sure if sending in BGL coins now will result in getting any BTC or other coins back out, but it won't hurt to try either since their coins won't be worth anything anymore in the future anyway :D

Satoshi Nakamoto's still looking. Bitcoin SCAM?

I don't know if it proceeds, but I don't understand so much attack to start-ex, the team does for working for the community and also fixes bugs every day.

It is preferable to know that every day fixes a bug or two, that not know that it fixes and think that everything goes well when it is not.

What to wait. This dev ''BILL'' said something like: I would prefer if my personal life/choice didn't get brought up everywhere.  You can feel free to PM me or other wise any spam/defamation will earn you ban/mute :D
I'm afraid some will believe it till the end :D

P.S. On discord.

They replied saying they were aware of withdraw issues, info presented in this thread does make it look like a scam however though.

I'll wait to see if they say anything further.

This was the response from Bitglo Adam:

[Bitglo.io]Adam | AdminYesterday at 11:29 PM
@everyone Bill has been busy trying to secure some private investment and I understand there are currently issues with the withdraws, I have pinned it down to what seems to be someone running a bot on the doge market and the amount of withdraws/deposits is slowing down the system and causing errors.

Pm any stuck or error withdraws to Bill and he will address when he is back. Sorry for any inconvenience caused, all will be resolved shortly.

There is no Bill and no Adam and this scam accusation proves that. It does seems to me like they are soon going to scam after thread getting locked and withdraw issues. Won't be surprised if it happens so and I wonder why users trust these exchanges right away so easily?

I mined enough coins for the currency they launched, so didn't trust much funds onto their exchange, but yes things are looking very suspicious.

Why do users trust these exchanges (or coin projects) this easily, simple, FOMO. We all want to be in on the latest coins and mine from start, every once in a while u encounter some douchebag scammers.

SCAMMMMM....

Stop trader
Stop mining
do not allow withdrawal of bitcoin.

If anyone has skills enough to dig out all possible info about who really are behind BitGlo, that would be great. If we can dig out real people behind BitGlo, we could either maybe get them scared and back off from scamming us all, or we could maybe get even police behind them. Or if nothing else, at least give them some trouble by keeping an eye on what ever they are doing in future and warning people about their plans all the time.

My 2 cents:  This is a scam BUT these devs didn't intend to cash out this early.  There probably actually are technical issues delaying withdrawls which have promptly people to look into the legitimacy sooner than expected.

Only issue they have is they are discovered in early stages as fraud and fake.
They have experience as scammers... and they made other exchanges and coin frauds.

Exact same thing happened with Exvo exchange

I can only say that their real location is in Western Europe,
and they are reported and tracked by authorities.


One more thing is that some mining pools still refuse to stop mining this crap,
one example is minpool.net,pool.friends-master.net , cvmpool.pw and jptpool.com
and I wonder are also some pools involved in this scam or not...

Thanks for your information

No problem.

Please spread information to more people,
it would be good do blacklist and ban Bitglo scam website,
and his profile on Bitcointalk with negative trust

Yeah, assholes like this really do ruin the space. I hope karma gets them back bad....

Good investigating job!

While they hide behind cloudflare.

Cloudflare was informed:

https://i.imgur.com/IhgZbdN.png

Damn. i lost my BTC on bitglo, more than 3 day's ago withdraw some ammount never come o my wallet.

Thanks for reporting to cloudflare.

Website is also reported to multiple security sites,
and it is just matter of time when Bitglo website will be flagged and shut down.

I am sure they left some mistakes.

Somehow I tend to avoid scam exchanges like this one. Never trade on new exchanges and always check team. If team can't be found on internet, when what stop them of disappearing. Once I saw team behind it without any history, no personal information, I knew something is scummy...

Sad, I really dont get it, product is good, exchange seems to be working nicely. Isn't it better to continue to develop into big exchange and earn big profit?

Exactly same thoughts, i would understand if they would face with some irresistible issues but while seems everything working smoothly so stupid to leave working product on that stage. Just unbelievable stupidity.

NO.
Its not that hard to create exchange and scam people.
They created one, and now they just keep changing interfaces ...exvo, bitglo... next one very soon ?

Its hard to operate exchange legal and honestly,
you need to have proper support 24/7 and hire stuff.

I warned people from start ... many did not listened.
It's not that hard to spot suspicious coin/exchange

:'( I lost all my BTC

Sorry for your lost, how much is it?

Update:

Bitglo Discord is now deleted !

Dev scammer has been 'active' erasing it.

Please give negative trust feedback to his profile:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2342111

And report his website, so it can be shut down as soon as possible
https://bitglo.io/

http://fs5.directupload.net/images/180914/mbq5l8ua.jpg

Just gave him a negative trust rating....man scammers should be stoned in public. I have been exit scammed for like $5k in the last month alone to 3 different scam projects...

These people are the scum in our space. I hope karma is swift.

Just they won't reply to it but just straight out ban your ass for trying to expose them with proof. If you just call it scam and say no more in there they won't ban you so if someone can infiltrate and DM all users in there with the information they need the Discord will be dead very soon.

Good job OP. Now its necessary to find out who are the real persons behind bitglo and nail them.

Oh my God,
i lost my BTC & XCL ??? ???

Oh, nice info, thank you guys. I hate scammers as they fool regular traders/investors and that’s awful. Frauds are everywhere, so we have to be careful when choosing exchanges, ICOs, or cloud mining services, etc. The only thing I can suggest is reading review of exchanges here https://www.theproblem.wtf/ or other trusted sites to understand which platforms are legit and which are not.  Also, it’s crucial to spot red flags like unreal people in the team, fake links to partners, large but uninformative documents and so on. Be safe and don’t trust frauds, please!
