Title: Bitcointalk Charity and its funds
Post by: yahoo62278 on December 11, 2021, 08:51:56 PM
THREAD on the subject (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5124375.0)

ACCOUNTS INVOLVED

cabalism13 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1605387)
crwth (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=914465)
bl4nkcode (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=765632)

Let me start with I am currently just looking for answers. I seen someone bump this thread a week ago, so I started digging. I noticed the last activity posted was May 2 2021. I also noticed the last post by any of the 3 was June 2 2021. I went to check this address 1CHAriTyyuCzLdXshSDVohyjgxTxW9Bhx and noticed the balance was 0. According to cabalism

  • Funds will be hold by an escrow (bl4nkcode), and for every donations TXID will also be posted here to let the public keep in touch.
  • Note: No Minimum, No Maximum Donations. It should be just from the heart, and should also have the will to help the others.
  • Updates, Activities, Images will be posted here as soon as we have conducted such activities.

This lead me to message cabalism on telegram and some unsatisfying answers were given.

That's most of our conversation. We talked about my recent surgery, but that's not relevant to this thread. My opinion is this is a public charity. It has been funded by the public(mostly with a couple private donations), it has been posted that all money would basically be tracked, and all activities would be posted.

I spoke with a couple of others as well and got their opinions regarding the situation. 1 thing that came up was binance launchpad where apparently you can stake certain coins and make money from it. If that was done, the money belongs to the charity IMO, not the people running the charity. I have no proof of this, just a scenario that came up based on some of the evidence presented to me by cabalism.

As far as I know all 3 users are decently respected in the community and considered mostly trusted. Again I'm not accusing anything so far, but I would like the questions answered that I am posting below. I am also not asking anyone to tag any of these accounts at the moment. I will be the 1st to do so if the explanations are not adequate.

So my questions for the 3 accounts involved are

Where is the money?
Why has nothing been posted in the thread as far as activities?
Why was the money split period?
Was money used in Binance launchpad?
Has money been used as personal funds?
How much money is left?
Without me going through the blockchain, what was the balance when the money was split?

Assuming this is all a misunderstanding, I would like to see all funds back in the charity address and protected by the escrow. There's a reason for an escrow and currently the charity has broken the communities trust in my opinion.

I never followed the details of that thread, but I saw it once in a while. My impression was it's a small-scale thing, like donating for instance 10 kg of rice and other cheap food that lasts a long time. I never expected such an initiative to receive donations as large as a full Bitcoin (https://blockchair.com/bitcoin/transaction/ef79d06f527f2c89905df7fd984a61ccdb2463d88854e3845f1514a44e133276) ($16k) in a single transaction (twice).

Note that the total amount received (9.59BTC (https://blockchair.com/bitcoin/address/1CHAriTyyuCzLdXshSDVohyjgxTxW9Bhx)) as shown by Blockchair is incorrect, that includes change send back to the address itself. I manually added up the donations, and got to 2.12264434BTC.

I'm not accusing someone here too. But it was quite surprised that the charity fund which was supposed to be on escrowed (was indeed), was planned to get liquidated and hold on a bank account. It was my surprise to see the bank account part while there's stablecoin to hold on escrow address. I'm not accusing anyone of them, neither we have anything to accuse so far.

I am worried, a major part of charity organizations have been turning into corrupted. I am still not saying these three-person corrupted as well, until getting solid proof we shouldn't accuse directly. But in real-life experience in my country, most of the charity organizations are being corrupted. Since the thread was created by cabalism13, he should be transparent always about funds and activities. I do not agree to split funds between them. But yea, they could participate in charity activities and publish in public. Even I will require video footage to prove they are doing charity. They do not have the right to play with public funds, they don't have right as well.

Total responsibility should be carried by cabalism13, he has to force others about the activities. Why cabalism13 should allow a split of funds without any charity activities? The sound isn't good really though it was a great initiative.

This sounds like a complete clusterfuck if you want my honest opinion.  First of all, there should have been plans in place for what was to be done with the donated funds before receiving any donations, and that thread you linked to is over a year and half after the charity fund was started--but correct me if I'm wrong.

Also, cabalism13 is basically asking whether the donations should be played with by converting BTC-->whatever and trying to time the market.  That's tantamount to gambling with other people's kind gestures, and that isn't right.

If funds were really transferred to Binance in order to stake coins, that's another colossal fuckup IMO.  I don't know if that happened or not, but it does appear there's evidence of it.  That's another example of gambling with charity funds, and that shouldn't be done.  And why would the funds be split up?  I don't get that part at all.

In other words, to the last part of you post above, I'd say yahoo62278 is on the edge of making some serious accusations--I hope I'm wrong, but this whole thing smells kinda funny to me.


Title: Re: Bitcointalk Charity and its funds
Post by: LoyceV on December 12, 2021, 08:44:32 AM
the charity fund which was supposed to be on escrowed
I can imagine the fund got larger than expected, and I don't know if bL4nkcode ever held tens of thousands of dollars before. But if an escrow was promised to donators, I would expect that not to be changed, and I would expect full transparency on spending funds.

I'm surprised by this:
Code:
-----BEGIN BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----
This is bL4nkcode, and I confirm that this address 1CHAriTyyuCzLdXshSDVohyjgxTxW9Bhx is held by me and will be used as a donation address for Bitcointalk Charity Program https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5122205.0. Today 03/20/2019 PHT UTC +8
-----BEGIN BITCOIN SIGNATURE-----
Version: Bitcoin-qt (1.0)
Address: 1CHAriTyyuCzLdXshSDVohyjgxTxW9Bhx

HBOx/qJMW8pST80sy8eDtGykrMc/Tk37l/T5p6AfuZkAdZ1+I3K7xc6+6R8z3BEsXNWEn3ahxJtXb5na1ST9GMg=
-----END BITCOIN SIGNATURE-----
This is not best practice in the escrow business, a message is supposed to be signed from a staked address, not from the escrow address itself. It's 2.5 years ago so it's probably okay by now, but at that moment anyone with access to bL4nkcode's Bitcointalk account could have posted that message.

cabalism13 is basically asking whether the donations should be played with by converting BTC-->whatever and trying to time the market.  That's tantamount to gambling with other people's kind gestures, and that isn't right.
Agreed. This is speculating:
Shall we convert it before BTC falls? and just convert it again when BTC has a low value again?

I'd say yahoo62278 is on the edge of making some serious accusations--I hope I'm wrong, but this whole thing smells kinda funny to me.
The lack of transparency is what makes it smell funny. A simple spreadsheet with donations and expenses could have prevented all this, and I would expect an escrow to require a clear overview. How else can the escrow approve expenses?

As for the Plan:

My wife is currently  a BOOKKEEPER on a Bank, and somewhat can create an account for the Charity (if not it will be under my name or my wife). And after that the Passbook will be transferred to bL4nkcode once again, so trust issues can be cleared.
Creating a bank account in one name and giving someone else access doesn't sound good (if not illegal).

I hope that in the end it is all just a misunderstanding, but it gives me a bad feeling. As COOLCRYPTOVATOR says, many charities end up being scams, which I don't think was the case here.

The three people involved have a good reputation in the forum, and it is clear to me that at least in the beginning the intention of the charity was altruistic, to help people in need.

What is not clear to me is whether it was something that in the end got out of hand because they received much more money than they expected.

Let's hope they come here and give us convincing evidence.

Has money been used as personal funds?
I see that cabalism13 is Finally Married so we can just speculate the reasons for splitting ''donations'' and how he spent his part of that money (I could be totally wrong).
That could also explain why he was less active in forum recently and wrote only four posts since August 2021.

On the flip side, they did post some proof and images of donating food, helping homeless, helping animal rehabilitation, and last one was posted  back in May 2021.
However, I think they should post some proof of transactions, and that can't be so hard to do:

They needed something like this (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/112dk74xnUlgMHSREP4Ny0kqwrRSEUSAHrGjMJVwXQfY/edit?usp=sharing). I am glad I did that. The last 4 rows (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/112dk74xnUlgMHSREP4Ny0kqwrRSEUSAHrGjMJVwXQfY/edit?disco=AAAAShCTSXw) have been updated just now (My bad that I did not follow up the incoming after the last spending).

While checking the sheet today I noticed (I almost forgot the donations we made so far and the receivers, but there are records so I do not need to relay on my memory) the last donation that made from the Project Covid-19 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5246208.0) was to cabalism13 you can read the details here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5246208.msg54371930#msg54371930). He gave us (Hhampuz and me. Darkstar_ is responsible to broadcast the approved amount) enough reasons for the donation and the evidences were convincing enough that his uncle recovered well. There are many successful donations done by Project Covid-19 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5246208.0). So it hurts when people doubts charities.

I am pretty sure cabalism13 and his team will bring us a satisfactory explanation. And I highly advise them to maintain paperwork. You are handling public fund. The reference for all transactions should be recorded clearly.

Looking forward to see a happy ending on this issue.

I know they have helped some families and have seen all the pictures from the past. The problem is the funds disappeared, escrow is no longer valid, and the posting stopped.

I'll wait another 12 hours and be the 1st to tag all 3 if they don't acknowledge the thread and make a TBD/update coming post. Cabalism has been online multiple times in the last 24 hours, crwth hasn't been online in 27 hours(magically), and bl4nkcode was on once since the thread has been posted. I imagine they have all been chatting off the forum.

I hate to even write this, but I'm almost ready to start a betting pool as to whether something shady went down, and I'd take the side that something indeed did.  You're being very optimistic in the face of evidence being presented that a pool of donation money was split up between three members for some reason and possibly used to speculate with altcoins on Binance, which is exactly what you're doing when you deposit funds on an exchange to stake something.  Suppose the value of those coins plummets.  How do you think the donators would feel about that?  

This is a lot of money we're talking about, and given everything that's been presented--along with yahoo62278's own concern that he expressed in his conversation with cabalism13--I seriously think temptation got the best of one or more of this trio.  I don't know any of them personally, though I'm very familiar with their usernames and they've all got positive reputations.  That doesn't mean someone can't be corrupted by temptation.

You're quite a funny guy, you mean the almost half million I spent for my wedding was from the Charity Funds? You might want to make a computation yourself.

I may be wrong for not updating the thread for I have been busy ever since I got offers on Telegram, what I can say here is I've done what must be done. I've been compiling this shitty proofs of yours despite of my busy schedule, I asked yahoo for a week but it seems not sufficient, You can tag me all you want, can't defend myself here anymore, just thanking this community btw. And I'm done here.

It's quite nice to be part of the community for 3 years, I appreciate the help and others.

BTW, am dropping it here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donation



To the anonymous guy who donated the money:

I want to give my thanks for the money that has been donated and entrusted to my plans, you can DM me for anything on Telegram @cabalism13, that I did not waste any money.



Where is the money?
Back on January the remaining BTC was more or less 0.4

Why has nothing been posted in the thread as far as activities?
To cut it short, BUSY,... (you can find my position on Paxful, tran can verify that)

Why was the money split period?
I, myself found a reason to make the charity more active, as we have received large amount of money twice,... So I think the donators might give us another if we settle and make use of the charity funds and not just letting it sit on the escrowed address.
Back on January, I PMed crwth and Bl4nkcode to help me out, and that was the reason for the split.
As far as I remember BTC was only on the 30k USD line. so you can do the math yourself.
The activity stopped on June, due to pandemic and several lockdowns here in the philippines and due to the continuous grow of BTC we decided not to turn it back into crypto and just make use of it whenever and wherever they see fit.

My only mistake here is not updating and giving the proof and receipts

(if you're being such a dick like dkbit come on here at my place and see my status here) PM Me for my exact address, Besides I wouldn't waste my time explaining more here. Everybody should know I wouldn't expose my name here for such quite low amount of money. Now I see atriz reasons here.

Was money used in Binance launchpad?
No. it was converted right away using p2p of Binance, PM me for my bank details if you need it

Has money been used as personal funds?
To be honest, yes. I have used 500$ from the funds back then for the medications of my deceased grandfather, I even asked before I did that on my Filipino Community

How much money is left?
less than 20,000 PHP on Bl4nk's
and about 6,000 PHP on my hand as I mentioned before, even if we're not getting any money I will still continue this charity.

Without me going through the blockchain, what was the balance when the money was split?
it was mentioned above, more or less .4 BTC

Assuming this is all a misunderstanding,
If you're going to ask me one more time, it is.
Am not speaking for myself or for the other guys, but I'm speaking for the charity and money that has been used already.
I've done what I can, I proceeded without any hesitations, just imagine my work here and I'm being put to a corner. yeah my bad for not having proofs still conscience is 100% clean from this.

Thanks yahoo, now I know there are still watching the charity. No worries, even if I get that red markings I'll let you know about the activities. Especially dkbit lol, you really did get on my nerves.

TO ALL WATCHERS AND COMMENTATORS: we're not talking about the 2 BTC here, but only .4 BTC

Happy Holidays To All.

I rest my case.

So you and the shitty escrow crew thought you could try to time the market with donated charity funds and do what, exactly?  Make more money in a market that's as volatile as any I've ever seen?  Are you out of your fucking mind?

Oh hell no, that wasn't your only mistake:

Was money used in Binance launchpad?
No. it was converted right away using p2p of Binance, PM me for my bank details if you need it
Your bank?  This was donated bitcoin if I'm reading this whole thing correctly, so what does your bank have to do with any of that?

Has money been used as personal funds?
To be honest, yes. I have used 500$ from the funds back then for the medications of my deceased grandfather, I even asked before I did that on my Filipino Community
An escrow (especially for a charity) is NEVER supposed to use donated funds, not even if your grandfather is dying.  Those funds are supposed to be untouched.  Do none of you understand that?  Apparently you don't, and I don't care about the sob story, because we've all heard that excuse a million times on this forum. 

Also, there's nobody who could possibly give you permission to use donated funds for personal reasons.  Nobody except the donors collectively, and I'm pretty sure that wasn't your Filipino community, which has jack shit to do with any of this.

I rest my case.
Yeah, your conscience is clear and you can sleep like a baby.  I'd like to hear what the tally is of the funds you end up returning.

Leaving the community because of this doesn't make your story look any better either.

I spoke with cabalism shortly after his reply. He messaged me on telegram. I think he realizes some of the things that were done, were the wrong way to do things. I also feel like he genuinely was trying to help people, but kept piss poor books and made some very bad decisions. This is the feeling I get at least from our conversation.

What I said would be a fix would be a full audit. I don't know if they would be willing to comply, but that is about the only way this could be put to rest. Another issue is not all receipts were kept. Like I said some mistakes made along the way.

How is the full audit supposed to work?

As far as I know, audits are made on the basis of documents, and if we start by saying that they are not going to be able to provide all the receipts, it seems to me that we are not going to get to a good conclusion.

Another thing that strikes me is that cabalism13 is boasting about how much money he has spent on his wedding, then he emphasizes that we are only talking about 0.4 Bitcoins that were split between three people, when the Bitcoin was at $30K, as if it was little money, but then he took $500 to buy medicine for his grandfather.

Buying medicine for your grandfather seems like an honorable cause, but taking it from an escrow is not and even less so if you are a financially solvent person as he seems to imply.

I totally agree with what The Pharmacist and LoyceV are saying.

I do not like the way you responded to above quoted contents. Your attitude is making me worried now. Do you understand, your defence mechanism is exactly how someone do when they get caught red-handed for a crime? Let me break it down bit by bit. Follow the notes and bold fonts.

1. You are counter attacking instead of given straight forward answer. When you are guilty for doing a wrong deed, you don't counterattack but explain. If you are in the right corner then million question no matter if they are justified or not, you do not worry but explain the truth.

2. That's not an excuse you make. If you were not capable of managing a project, then hand it over to someone who has time for it.

3. You are trying to take authority of the conversation to cover up your mistake. In a public fund, one can obviously ask for proofs and can question you, you must need to find time for it.

4. The last line, "I am done here xxxxx" cuts all the shits and indicates that you do not care and sounds like you are leaving. And when you are leaving, no one finds you. We can assume that you've scammed.

5. The goodbye statement? This makes my 4th point more valid.

6. What exactly is the wiki link explaining. Why?

7. You are not only responsible to answer the donator but also to the entire community. When the fund has been left from the donators address, it's no more their money, but community own the money.

You can't just show this attitude now. You are in no position to show such behaviours.

8. You are in the right path on this response. You are explaing what you thought is good. But I think it was supposed to be there and let it sit idol. No donator give you money to trade it or do business with it. It was there to go the reason it was given for.

9. Again good answer. You made a mistake and you are admitting it. You should have done a transparent paperwork in addition to trust you.

10. You are pissing off all of us now. None are dick here but you. You will make mistake and expect all of the community not to ask question? Just response how you did, follow the similar manner like on point 8 and 9.

11. You know no one is going to ask for that. A very common strategy to cover up a scam.

12. A very simple fake promise, the scammers do. You will not carry on. In fact, you already said you are busy (means you have no time for it)

13. You are wrapping up your conclusion and preparing to say goodbye, fuck you all. Correct?

14. An approach to fuck you all again. Correct?

Look cabalism13, if I am not wrong then in Philippine the average Filipino family income 2021 is $5302.90 and in USA the average American family income 2021 is $79,900. Do you see the gap? According to today's BTC price 0.4 BTC is a lot of money there. Come on, it's $20189.60 almost 4 years income for a family. It's not a case of ONLY! At least for a person who lives in Philippine.

I actually gave him from the 4th to the 11th to post his stuff. I didn't really wanna give them a week just in case a scam was happening and something was covered up, but I stuck to my word and gave the week.

I'd still like answers from Bl4nkcode as to why he agreed to break up the escrow agreement and allow the split of the money. Also, would like toi know the remaining balances bl4nkcode and crwth are holding.

This really isn’t looking good ? At the moment from what YOU - @cabilism13 are saying is that you’ve committed fraud - by your own admittance . Whether this is by nativity, ignorance and hopefully not arrogance remains to be seen. To use charitable funds for your own personal funds is fraud !  May be I’m coming on a bit strong, but if you actually analyse your justification of your use of funds and lack of transparency, updates etc - you’ll see it’s a bit muddled !
You’ve been on this forum 3 + yrs , yet expect members to accept your “reasoning”, then it seems very peculiar?
The more information, details of transactions, receipts etc you can give , the better for you . I personally hope it’s just a bit of naivety and hopefully a lack of perfect English ( no offence) .
Hopefully this will be cleared up soon

This is the main reason actually https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5124375.msg56017192#msg56017192, to prevent the loss of the btc value.
I don't think it had break up the escrow agreement, the split of the funds is agreed to make more activities and causes, not only from one person (cabalism) and one place (near on him), that's why after the pull out of the funds, monthly activities had made.

As for the remaining balance it was mentioned by cabal, the 6000php on him will be used this coming december activity(ies).

The transactions moves as per the request of cabalism or the beneficiary.
- From escrow address directly to cabal or beneficiary (wallet address) that is agreed to received the funds (e.g. Croatian's Red Cross referred by marlbozaa)
- From escrow to my binance address -> binance p2p transaction (exchange to PHP fiat) -> my wallet (gcash) -> then send the amount eventually to beneficiary/cabalism account. OR from escrow -> my coins.ph account (exchange to PHP fiat) -> then send the amount eventually to beneficiary/cabalism account.

The second option is only applied IF the receiving account's available monthly/daily limit is lesser than the amount to be received.

From my points of view calablism13 did not make a mistake by splitting the work load of the charity function, actually in none govermental organization [NGO] its not one person that carry on the function until the mission is accomplish, what he did by extending other activities to other person is good from my perception, so if those persons he assigned functions to do, and they did not operate well for the benefit of the charity via the funds, it's doesn't mean that he embezzled the fund.

At least everybody who is involve is accountable to his own allocation of fund, let it be proper audit first, i think they found out the loophole later.

This is the main reason actually https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5124375.msg56017192#msg56017192, to prevent the loss of the btc value.
Allow me to quote the (unedited) post here:
-Just a Quick Update to all, Funds will be pulled out by escrow and will be converted to stable coin, as BTC keeps falling so we do want to take the chance not to gain loss and keep gaining for the sake of this charity and the people that needs it.
-Funds will go back to BTC as soon as it drops by 20k -25k
First, it's bad this isn't added to the OP. If someone wants to donate, they're not likely to read post #298.
Second, if a Bitcoin whale donated 1 Bitcoin, I assume they're long-term HODLers, which makes it likely speculating on Bitcoin dropping is not what they would have wanted (but this is just my own speculation).
Third, the post mentions converting funds to stable coin, it doesn't mention anything about splitting it to 3 people. I also don't think PHP classifies as "stable coin".
Fourth, Bitcoin did drop by 20k-25k between April 23 and May 19 (https://bitcoinaverage.com/en/bitcoin-price/btc-to-usd). According to the above post, the "stable coin" should have been converted back to Bitcoin. Note that Bitcoin at $44k at the time was still much higher than the $32k at the time of the above post. This nicely shows how bad "timing the market" can be.

I don't think it had break up the escrow agreement
What exactly was the escrow agreement? All I can find is this, which doesn't mention any terms at all:
This is bL4nkcode, and I confirm that this address 1CHAriTyyuCzLdXshSDVohyjgxTxW9Bhx is held by me and will be used as a donation address for Bitcointalk Charity Program https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5122205.0. Today 03/20/2019 PHT UTC +8
As an escrow, I think you're responsible for making absolutely sure up front how and when funds can be spend.

Quote
the split of the funds is agreed to make more activities and causes, not only from one person (cabalism) and one place (near on him)
The proper way to handle this would be to ask for funds from escrow each time a new charity activity was found and published in the thread.

Quote
that's why after the pull out of the funds, monthly activities had made.
If only there was a record of activities!

Quote
The transactions moves as per the request of cabalism or the beneficiary.
Wait, what? Why can the beneficiary ask for funds? How does that go? Like: "Howdy, I'm LoyceV, my address is in my profile!"? That's ..... weird!

OR from escrow -> my coins.ph account (exchange to PHP fiat) -> then send the amount eventually to beneficiary/cabalism account.
Without clear documentation, this sounds like a smoke curtain instead of honest documented trades. I've handled some user's funds (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2836875.0), and when I do, I make sure I document every transaction up to the last decimal. You've been active as an escrow for years, how can this not be your default behaviour?

Splitting the work load is totally fine. Giving people (including the escrow who was supposed to protect the funds) carte blance is not.

This should be some part of the agreement as mentioned by cabalism.
Funds will be hold by an escrow (bl4nkcode), and for every donations TXID will also be posted here to let the public keep in touch.

Updates, Activities, Images will be posted here as soon as we have conducted such activities.
It was supposed to be every details will be publicly posted along with the relevant tx id. But in the last part, cabalism or bl4nkcode didn’t keep the tracking aka broken the agreement. Well, I don't think it's directly escrow agreement but it was an agreement between the charity and the donators. So, cabalism has broken the agreement in my opinion.
I really didn’t give a lot of attention to this topic when yahoo62278 posted this but after observing cabalism post, I really feel like something smelly which I didn’t expect (I still expect that it's only "not keeping public records only, nothing smelly).
This once again makes me feel like I should not donate to any such charity but each time I see such charity, I can barely control myself.

You're quite a funny guy, you mean the almost half million I spent for my wedding was from the Charity Funds? You might want to make a computation yourself.
Thank you for compliments and for sending me merits.
Congratulations on getting married, and I hope you are enjoying your life now that you created all this mess with your donations charity scheme.
If you can use donation funds for family medications (like you admitted yourself), why are you acting surprised with my speculation that you used part of same donation for your wedding celebration also?

Thanks yahoo, now I know there are still watching the charity. No worries, even if I get that red markings I'll let you know about the activities. Especially dkbit lol, you really did get on my nerves.
No problem sir, I have the skills to do that and I am here to serve and protect, btw I never accused you of anything, it was just my speculation because of your recent inactivity.
Please let me know when you need next donation, maybe for your kids, grandkids or pets.

Happy Holidays.

may be wrong for not updating the thread for I have been busy ever since I got offers on Telegram, what I can say here is I've done what must be done. I've been compiling this shitty proofs of yours despite of my busy schedule, I asked yahoo for a week but it seems not sufficient, You can tag me all you want, can't defend myself here anymore, just thanking this community btw. And I'm done here.

It's quite nice to be part of the community for 3 years, I appreciate the help and others.
Surprising reply! Why are you asking to tag? Had OP created the thread to tag you? He just asked for a proper explanation and proof of your charity's progress. This isn't about tagging your account, this is about transparency about your charity activities. I really appreciate these kinds of initiatives, but they should be held in a transparent way. Look like you become angry due to asking questions. The thread hasn't been created to hear your farewell speech and we won't stay with us forever.

No matter you stopped charity activities due to a busy schedule, but you should update about the situation before asking a question from the community. Since you have been raising funds through the forum, so this community reserve the right to ask you to provide real-time updates. I am curious what did you mean by shitty proof, but it's not expected from you. Splitting funds shouldn't problem as long as they provide proof of distribution, either to you or in the thread. And one more thing, you do not reserve the right to spend charity funds for your family illness. No matter who gives you permission as long as not permitted by the donator to do so.

I do hope that everything will go well here. Sadly, there wasn't any update with regards to the charity thread with any activity. But I'm currently helping compile all the transactions and ask for their breakdown with the funds that were gotten for activities. I have mine and just need to input it into the final spreadsheet. It would be easier to see how it breaks down if it's okay to use as a reference/copy the spreadsheet by Royse777.

As for some updates with charity, I have some remaining funds for the last remaining activity that I have reserved for the holidays. It will be on December 19. I'll update the charity thread by then.

I do hope everything clears out by then.

I am personally familiar with the project because I have personally donated several times, and as long as it involved smaller amounts the transparency was at a high level and the whole charity was run in a professional way. When someone donated 1 BTC and it was decided to transfer the funds to stablecoins things got a little out of hand with the obvious lack of activity of the members who ran the whole project.

This should never have happened, because someone will always start digging and find any irregularities, which will result in questions that need to be answered without any doubt. I would advise everyone involved in this to be as transparent as possible and to clarify all transactions.

A lot of good has been done through this project, let's give people some time to show all the evidence - and if someone has borrowed part of the funds for personal needs in case of emergency, let them apologize and return the funds. I do not approve of such actions, but everyone would help their family member in any way to save his life, and that needs to be understood.

Another thing that strikes me is that cabalism13 is boasting about how much money he has spent on his wedding, then he emphasizes that we are only talking about 0.4 Bitcoins that were split between three people, when the Bitcoin was at $30K, as if it was little money, but then he took $500 to buy medicine for his grandfather.
Eh, yeah--exactly.  

I know this isn't my fight and I wasn't a donator, but how was it that these three members were chosen as escrow agents?  I don't know the full story behind this charity, as I haven't read that other thread yet (just due to personal time constraints).  If someone could give a brief TL;DR history of this apparent debacle, I'd be greatly appreciative.

Also, if cabalism13 used charity funds for his grandfather's medications (or so he says), I can pretty much guarantee you it didn't end there--if it even started there in the first place.  Once someone has crossed a boundary like that it gets so much easier to do it repeatedly.  And if there weren't receipts kept....well, it's not hard to put two and two together here.  

I'm also wondering when exactly any of these members were going to give an accounting of the funds and their activities if yahoo62278 hadn't pushed them to.

This makes it even more look like "opportunity makes the thief". When there's more money involved, I'd expect more accurate accounting, not less.

What is not clear to me is whether it was something that in the end got out of hand because they received much more money than they expected.
In May and November last year 1BTC was donated. Those were worth $9k and $16k at the time. I can imagine it's suddenly a lot more work to distribute a lot of money than it was with $30 at a time when this thing started. I can also imagine it's also a lot easier staying honest with $30 than it is when someone hands you 3 annual salaries. That doesn't mean you're a thief, but in my opinion it does mean you have to work extra hard to make sure nobody gets any reason to doubt anything you did! By not doing that, all we can do is guess and speculate, and that's entirely due to your lack of transparency.

It used to say it in the title: $1 Is A Big Thing For Them (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5124375.msg53767599#msg53767599). I've seen the pictures of shopping carts with groceries. However, 2BTC can buy many hundreds if not thousands of full shopping carts. Where are those pictures?
Until the first 1BTC was donated, the pictures of this charity looked really good, and look like all the money was well spend. But this was much less than 1BTC, probably even less than a tenth of that. Which means I'd expect at least ten times more items to be donated later on.
Then:
BIG NEWS EVERYONE!
I don't know if its an accident or what, but it seems someone has transferred 1BTC to our Charity.
This is a BIG SHOCK to me actually, I don't know what to do and what to say, but there's one thing I can assure to all of you, the money will go to different orphanages and other helpless people out there that seems having a hard living in this scenario.
Current Balance: 1.03331019 BTC
After this, there were still pictures posted, but none of it looks like it came even close to spending 1.6BTC. But I can only guess, as no amounts are specified.
The spreadsheet is not publicly accessible:
Spreadsheet Link

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/17grJGkBUN9mRpq-elrmZ-XFTdYWPXiB8xqMu5IZcYRA/edit?usp=sharing

Also good to know: when cabalism13 announced (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5124375.msg56017192#msg56017192) to pull funds out of escrow, 0.55387486BTC worth 18,308.30USD (https://blockchair.com/bitcoin/transaction/fd3785d343acc814bca7a7e5b351d5f63cdf02d78860db3fdb8f0c25b0b1bf99) was moved.

I'm currently helping compile all the transactions and ask for their breakdown with the funds that were gotten for activities. I have mine and just need to input it into the final spreadsheet.
Then again, 1.5 years ago he wrote this already:
My personal target with this, if I were to receive the amount with the region, I could provide 300 - 500 pax. Of course, I would document everything and show you guys the step by step of this activity.

And the reason the money were split into three parts was not realized because nothing else has been done since the funds were separated to increase activity. BTW, unless yahoo62278 brought it up, I had no idea that this charity was still active. There was a time when our local board needed some funds to assist families of some of our members who had died, but the charity thread was inactive and dusty, showing a ZREO (0) balance, while the funds were converted to local fiat and shared among some users. I'm not accusing anyone, but this act alone demonstrates how the organization has been operated for years in an unprofessional manner.

As for the remaining balance it was mentioned by cabal, the 6000php on him will be used this coming december activity(ies).
Do we have to wait until the Christmas season to feed the less privilege? when there are hundreds of thousands of children on the streets every day? If there are no hungry or poor people in your neighborhood, this charity only requires $400 to clothe as many homeless children as possible.

They all three are not escrow agents. cabalism13 started the charity out of his own interest and was inspired by other charities from which one was hosted (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=300631.0) by the forum member and ex-moderator (?) Dabs. cabalism13 started the charity. bl4nkcode is providing escrow service for a few years now and as he was from the same local as cabalism13, it was a default pick as escrow. crwth was possibly involved as a volunteer though it's not clear his involvement at all. cabalism13 announced the charity with escrow bl4nkcode signed message, I can't see crwth was mentioned anywhere in the announcement thread and suddenly crwth was sharing about some of his activities (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5124375.msg50332533#msg50332533) which has no prior discussion. Maybe they had PM or discussion in their local.

If we look at the whole situation from only one angle, then it seems to be exactly as you wrote. For the time being, I will treat the whole thing as a combination of various life circumstances that could have happened to any of us - and I hope that all three members will be able to prove that this is the case. In case the opposite turns out, we all know how DT members and others will react - you build a reputation for years and destroy it in a few days.

I read this thread and I really don't like where this is going. charity is a very delicate matter, and running one must have a high degree of responsibility because any abuse will hinder some sincere intentions in the future.
I am very surprised that we do not have concrete answers from these three members here, especially from the bL4nkcode who performs with his escrow service here.

This is especially important when we know that 1 Bitcoin was trading around $69k last month.
Now let me play a advocate role here and say that it's nothing strange if they converted Bitcoin to fiat currency to buy groceries and stuff for charity, because most shops don't accept BTC.
All they need is to provide some evidence for spending and converting coins to fiat and all this story would finish quickly.

What made me even more confused is when I saw a post from C13 when he suggested that one gambler addict should send Bitcoins to his ''Charity'' project to solve his gambling addiction, and I don't know how ethical this is, but whatever.
But if you are totally a crazy millionaire, man, I suggest to donate it on my Charity! Just go to Services Section then look for BITCOINTALK CHARITY
Let me finish this by saying this, I think that charity is a wonderful thing and everyone should practice this on personal level as much as he/she can.

It's not about his reputation; his account is insignificant in comparison to the sums at stake, and tagged or not, he can always find his way around here. We're talking about future philanthropy because we don't want the wonderful donors' minds to be swayed.

The purpose of my question is how much money we got from these (hidden) addresses, because main charity address on the OP clearly shows 0BTC. How can donations by private PM achieve full transparency? It might be too late if the program committee wants to publish the addresses for altcoins donations, we never know what actually happened between June 2 and December 15 and don't know which addresses were actually given to donors (if any).

Such practice is not a common standard for charity programmes. What I do know is that even legal charities will publish the recipient's account address even if it doesn't have an account address explorer like blockchain. I think this program is completely broken now and can't be continued again if managed by the same person. I suggest disbanding and removing charity address (BTC) from the OP.

This is really the worst. The address is supposed to be from escrow aka bl4nkcode. Why were bl4nkcode silent or even crwth? Since they were actively involved with the project & bl4nkcode was supposed to be escrow, why did he not say a word when cabalism13 asked to PM for an address?

They all three are not escrow agents. cabalism13 started the charity out of his own interest and was inspired by other charities from which one was hosted (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=300631.0) by the forum member and ex-moderator (?) Dabs. cabalism13 started the charity.
Thanks for that explanation; I got the feeling from reading part of the other thread that cabalism13 had more to do with it other than just being an escrow, but that certainly doesn't excuse him from misappropriating funds.  It's the same level of wrongdoing if not worse IMO.

For the time being, I will treat the whole thing as a combination of various life circumstances that could have happened to any of us - and I hope that all three members will be able to prove that this is the case.
Are we both reading the same thread?  Stealing from a charity isn't a life circumstance that could happen to any of us, if only because not everyone will ever have control over the entire amount of money donated by others for charitable purposes.  Cabalism13 isn't going to be able to wiggle his way out of this one, but I'll be very interested to see what the other two end up saying and doing.

And his/their reputation(s) weren't ruined in a matter of days, though it may seem that way.  They were in the process of being ruined whenever the first bit of money was spent on non-charity things or sent to Binance to gamble or split up between the three members in question.  I'm sure they were hoping it would go unnoticed if they stayed quiet, because they knew a thread like this would be the result, as well as an indelible black mark smeared on their reputations.  Well, that goes for cabalism13 for now; I'll await the story from the other two.

In this regard I just want to say that I think I liked the tone and the way the other two members responded better than the way cabalism13 did.

It is a matter that smells bad and I think that if it were not for the previous good reputation that the three of them had, they would have been negative tagged much earlier, in view of the facts exposed in this thread.

I hope the other two members will give us satisfactory explanations.

Yes, of course. The fact that the other two have responded when asked for explanations with a more correct tone does not imply that they have done everything right. And there is another thing:

We will have to see what explanations are given for this in particular.

According to crwth:

As for some updates with charity, I have some remaining funds for the last remaining activity that I have reserved for the holidays. It will be on December 19. I'll update the charity thread by then.

I do hope everything clears out by then.

I am going to give him until December 20 to see what he says. And since I'm going to give him until that date, I'm going to wait until the same day to see if bL4nkcode gives reasonable explanations. Being the escrow, I think he has more to explain than crwth.

I've already tagged cabalism13 (second after The Pharmacist three days ago).

We read the same thread, but from a different perspective. I actively participated as a donor in this charity, and I had the opportunity to get to know a little better the people who organized it, especially @cabalism13. I don’t dispute the fact that things happened that shouldn’t have happened, but also that everyone should be admitted not guilty until proven otherwise - but some are guided by the “shoot first, then ask questions” principle.

For a person who has 80% forum boards on ignore (including the Service board until a few days ago), it's a little weird that you're the loudest in the Reputation board, as well as firing the first DT shot while everyone else waits for the final outcome. Red is irresistible, isn't it?

Hey guys, better if we don't get into personal comments here.

I understand that in reputation threads it is easier to end up getting into personal comments than if you are discussing, for example, the price of Bitcoin. It happened to me recently.

Let's leave this thread to see if the three people involved give sufficient explanations and if not everyone can take whatever action they see fit.

A little off-topic though, not part of the liquidation or audit process/discussion.

The Philippines now is hit by a super Typhoon Rai or Odette, I think if there's still funds remaining, they can use it to help the victims.

 Super Typhoon Rai slams into the Philippines as tens of thousands evacuate (https://edition.cnn.com/2021/12/16/asia/super-typhoon-rai-philippines-intl-hnk/index.html)

Quote
(CNN)Super Typhoon Rai, known locally as Odette, slammed into the eastern coast of the Philippines on Thursday afternoon, bringing torrential rain and the threat of widespread flooding across the archipelago.

The storm intensified rapidly as it approached the coast, strengthening from a Category 1 to a Category 5 storm in just 24 hours.
By the time it made landfall on Siargao Island, a popular tourist and surfing destination on the central east coast, the storm had reached sustained winds of 260 kilometers per hour (160 miles per hour) with gusts over 300 kilometers per hour (185 miles per hour).

This is a super Typhoon as strong as Typhoon Haiyan (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typhoon_Haiyan) which destroys Leyte last 2013, so Filipinos really need help.
Not to take away from the charity or what it does, but personally I think they need to worry about showing their past actions and providing an accurrate account of the spending before another dime is spent.

The accounting should be the priority, but they can do it all together as it's easy to account transactions especially if the ones who would account are the ones who initiate or do the transactions. Cabalism13 per his post, said that his wife is a bookkeeper, so accounting should not be a problem on his side.

My wife is currently  a BOOKKEEPER on a Bank,

I'm not seeing the connection between the boards I have on ignore and my feelings toward one member (cabalism13) who's obviously guilty of misappropriating funds.  As far as red being irresistible...come on.  Are you seriously criticizing me for tagging him?  Why in the world would I not?  And it's not as if I've been on a tagging spree lately, which you can verify by taking a look at my sent feedback. 

I get that you want to give all three members the benefit of the doubt, but with cabalism13 there's no doubt about what he's admitted to doing, and I suspect there's more layers of this stinky onion that have yet to be peeled away.  I haven't tagged the crwth or bL4nkcode yet, because I'm awaiting their responses and it may turn out that they can provide an explanation for what they did and account for the funds that were split amongst them that wouldn't justify a neg.

Also, if you donated to this charity I'd expect you (or anyone else who did) to be at least as "loud" as me.

Hey guys, better if we don't get into personal comments here.
You're right, but I felt I needed to reply to Lucius, and I also need to state that I don't have a problem with him and never did--and I'm not going to bicker with him about this, and I'm sorry his money was involved in this thing.  Lucius, let's agree that we have two different reactions as to what's going on in this thread and leave it at that, eh?  I'd shake your hand and buy you a beer if I could.

The problem with this reasoning is that we can't prove anything as long as they don't provide all data. By that reasoning, they can't be guilty as long as they hide whatever happened. I'd say that shouldn't apply to at least cabalism13 and bl4nkcode: both of them should have made sure this couldn't have happened and both of them should have made sure all expenses were clearly documented. I'm not sure (yet) about crwth's role in all this.

I'd say he's the one most likely to come out of this all right. And the one who responded best, offering to provide the necessary information

... their breakdown with the funds that were gotten for activities. I have mine and just need to input it into the final spreadsheet.

and giving a date, as I said before.

Incidentally, I looked at their profiles and bl4nkcode hasn't posted anything these days when he usually posts quite a bit. This is total speculation on my part, but it could be that if he thinks he is going to be red tagged maybe he doesn't think it's worth it to keep posting. Obviously, this could be just a coincidence.

Speaking of the Typhoon Odette, I was one of the greatly affected. The super typhoon directly hit my city causing extreme damages. As early as 9 PM Philippines time, the entire city has gone blackout. Now around 11 PM onward, we've felt the extreme strong winds and rains (and caused one of my glass tiles to fell down and break) and other stuff stored at the back we're being blown away like crazy.

This is currently outside of my home. The tree fell just a few feet away from our property. The most important thing is that my family and I are safe as we just stayed home and hang on for dear life. Luckily that our roof wasn't blown away unlike the others. Electricity has also restored here in the area, but there are majority of other areas whose electricity aren't restored yet as it's announcement that they're working on it and estimate completion would be 2-3 days.

https://i.ibb.co/3FPZxcq/265674656-605584080697287-4483880858080897517-n.jpg

Earlier my cousin called me if he can stay in our home for the meantime because his home has no electricity and his room's roof was completely rip apart by the super typhoon. My friend from the other city in the province also reached me out for help as his home was completely destroyed. I just donated to him via online payment because they're running out of food and supplies. As for my other relatives and friends, they have said that their roof was gone, experiencing flash floods, etc. Others who are in the province are still asking help to be rescued, their homes are completely gone, etc.

Probably one of the worst typhoons that I have experienced in my life. At least my family and I have survived.

Not necessarily. Maybe he is sincerely preparing the accounting part which is more important for his reputation than any other works he has. I wouldn’t be so optimistic on this. I used to believe bl4nkcode as escrow though his role in this charity is now questionable. Either way, we should give them time to present themselves instead of speculation.

C13 has clearly used the privilege against self-incrimination, and there is nothing we can do at this point but watch and wait for the drama to die, unless we want to use vigilante justice, which is still awful and unlawful

I also looked at his activity on the forum since the thread was started, and he's only made 1 post on this thread and 16 others outside of it, indicating that he is unconcerned about the thread and the potential consequences. Too bad he (they) made us all look stupid because they clearly don't care what we say or do.

Should we say they're buying time because the charity thread is still idle and no photographs or statistics on how the money was used are not shown

I feel you, we're in the same boat here, due to the typhoon the whole area I'm located experienced power and internet outage for several days already since the S. typhoon hit the area.

I think we should loosen up a bit here if those guys arent able to respond since Philippines is in really bad shape right now due to the typhoon struck. Some areas on Philippines don't have communication due to heavy hit of the storm. Maybe that's why they aren't responding and taking some action about the incident first. I guess posting here isn't a priority if your family safety is at staked. Your suggested timeline should also consider article below maybe their on the same case.

Yeah, OK. I was waiting for your response and crwth's one but if there has been a typhoon affecting you I can wait as long as necessary.

Anyway, apart from the activities in a sheet, I think you should provide supporting documentation, if not for all, at least for most activities, and it remains to be seen how you justify that a charity in which you were escrow, went on to split the funds between three and accept funds in other cryptocurrencies in addresses that weren't public.

I think we should loosen up a bit here

While I agree in general with what you say, I would not say that we have to loosen up because we have not tightened up. On the contrary, we are giving them plenty of time to justify and document something that, being the handling of funds for a charity, should be already documented and justified, publicly exposed in the charity's thread. I would say on the contrary that we are being quite benevolent and patient with the two of them. Another thing is cabalism13, he is no longer spared, and the last tag by owlcatz is quite expressive.

I'm sure they are fully aware of it and doing and compiling it as speak. They got some pretty good reputations here to ruin just by lack of some documents which I assume being worked on already. I think some ducmentations or let say photos of goods has been posted only the tally of funds or receipts in accordance to the money spent were missing. Anyway let's wait patiently.

On the flip side, they did post some proof and images of donating food, helping homeless, helping animal rehabilitation, and last one was posted  back in May 2021.
However, I think they should post some proof of transactions, and that can't be so hard to do:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5124375.msg56247230#msg56247230

Seven random photos of bulk food in shopping trolleys (under the circumstances) without any receipts as "proof of purchase" is not very convincing when you think about it...

The problem with this reasoning is that we can't prove anything as long as they don't provide all data. By that reasoning, they can't be guilty as long as they hide whatever happened. I'd say that shouldn't apply to at least cabalism13 and bl4nkcode: both of them should have made sure this couldn't have happened and both of them should have made sure all expenses were clearly documented. I'm not sure (yet) about crwth's role in all this.

cabalism13 set the thread in motion asking for donations, while bl4nkcode carried the funds (how do we know this? - bl4nkcode signed a message (https://ninjastic.space/post/50229568) using the actual wallet address for donations).  The funds are apparently no longer there.




At this point blame goes cabalism13 - 45% / bl4nkcode - 45% and 10% to crewth for not saying anything.




I will leave the questions and accusations as is, until cabalism provide the whole list of the past transactions and activities in a single sheet.
Also, I apologize for the lack of response and misunderstandings, hope this will be resolve already to clear all the misunderstandings.

Frankly, I did not read all messages and follow a whole case here. I know my post can not help to resolve it for cabalism13 but I have something to say.

First, in my opinion, he made bad decisions and the only things to do is resolve the case with exactly a leftover of charity fund before any wrong decisions were made.

Second, I can say something he said is true but as said, I completely knows that it does not mean anything to resolve this case.

To cut it short, BUSY,... (you can find my position on Paxful, tran can verify that)
Cabalism13 and me have been working in Paxful since 2020. I started there on May 2020 and cabalism13 even started before me. He invited me to join Paxful as community manager.

Quote
The activity stopped on June, due to pandemic and several lockdowns here in the philippines and due to the continuous grow of BTC we decided not to turn it back into crypto and just make use of it whenever and wherever they see fit.
We talked about that many times and he sent me many photos that he is preparing things for charity. I appreciated what he and his team did and somewhat they really did charity activities. Additionally, they still did charity operations even months after the pandemic appearance and I don't know when it stopped but in chat with me, he said multiple times that Covid-19 was worse in his nation. I knew it on media as well. Phillipines had worse situation even before Vietnam, a few months perhaps. In Vietnam, we had serious lockdown since August this year.

Months ago, when I contacted cabalism13, he told me that his Mom was infected, hospitalized, etc. and he superb worried about that.

Again, run charity and use charity fund transparently and well are different things I know.

Quote
My only mistake here is not updating and giving the proof and receipts
It is what cabalism13 and his team should do better.

Quote
To be honest, yes. I have used 500$ from the funds back then for the medications of my deceased grandfather, I even asked before I did that on my Filipino Community
It's another thing he made bad decision, I agree. It's unacceptable to touch charity fund for reasons are not related to charity I totally agree here.

Only one thing I can verify, his father had bad health issues months ago. Not only me, I think DarkStar_ can verify it as well. I believe cabalism13 actually told it with DarkStar_ as well in his loans with DarkStar_

Again, as said, it does not help to resolve this case. Only cabalism13 can do it. Refund the charity address, provide receipts, balance sheet, etc.

I doubt that if he did not clearly have plans to manage such thing, now he will not be able to provide all receipts, etc.

Even if cabalism13 resolves this case somehow, his reputation would be harmed. That is bad and I don't expect it.

Sum up, I felt that cabalism13 is a good guy with good heart but he did make serious mistakes that should be fixed!


To cabalism13, I do it proactively for all things we have together so far. I know it can not help you anyway but deeply in my heart, I think I have to say something I know rather than keep silence.

As things stand @cabalism13 has admitted to using $500 for personal use which is completely inappropriate - but I can understand the life or death situation of a family member - wouldn't most of us here do the same and then return that funds back? You have the right as a DT member to leave the fedback you want, but I was confident that everyone would wait for the final outcome - especially since we now know that the Philippines was recently hit by a typhoon.
 
I get that you want to give all three members the benefit of the doubt, but with cabalism13 there's no doubt about what he's admitted to doing, and I suspect there's more layers of this stinky onion that have yet to be peeled away. 

Can you clarify what exactly you mean by "more layers of this stinky onion that have yet to be peeled away"? Do you think there is anyone other than the three members of the forum who participated in this and got some financial benefit?

Technically speaking, I donated a few times at the beginning of the campaign - and I was pleased with how the money was spent, everything was very well documented. After someone started donating 1 BTC, it no longer made sense to donate smaller amounts until that large amount was spent.

Lucius, let's agree that we have two different reactions as to what's going on in this thread and leave it at that, eh?  I'd shake your hand and buy you a beer if I could.

Of course, as I have already written, it is difficult for me to accept that such a good thing as charity could turn into something we have to discuss in this way. Especially when it comes to people who have been esteemed members of this community so far, and I still hope that they can justify this status at least to some extent - although each day of silence only heightens the suspicion.

Thanks for the offer for beer, I would accept the offer if I was not a few thousand kilometers away and besides I can't leave the country because I don't have a covid passport ;)

I followed this topic closely and it's sad to see again members with good reputation being on the edge of ruining it themselves in a second. Nevertheless, yahoo's and others' questions are pertinent and demand answers.

It's also interesting to see that the members running this charity still talk about their next events like everything is in order. I am also eager to see what will happen after the deadline mentioned by cabalism...

However, what I find to be even more interesting is the total amount of money debated. While some talk about 2 BTC and others about 0.4 BTC or smaller amounts, if you take a look again at the last screenshot posted by yahoo in OP, you can see this dialog:

cabalism13: "And lastly afaik, that last money was transferred to bank's Binance address and was converted I think about ~350k".
yahoo62272: "350k? I didn't think the balance was that high. Under 2 BTC last I remember".
cabalism13: "It was".

Now perhaps this went unnoticed, as I did not see anybody talking about this amount, or maybe I misunderstood the conversation, but from what I see here, the total amount would be "350k" which, I assume, represents "350.000 USD"? If this is so, then this is (or should be) a game changer. Because 0.4 BTC or even 2 BTC, even at current price or even at ATH are not even remotely close to this amount of money. Does this amount still exist?

I noticed that too, and it doesn't make sense. It could be PHP, which means it's about $7000. The problem is (again) the lack of clear documentation, which makes me think (again) it's part of the smoke curtain.

you mean the almost half million I spent for my wedding
I assume this is in PHP too.

Maybe they used leverage trading on Binance exchange that is highly risky, so they could in theory earn much more but they could also lose everything.
Before making more speculations let's wait and see transactions proof and updates.

Just wondering could you make a nice Romanian wedding celebration with $350k?
I am asking for a friend.

I believe today is December 19 and we still don't have any updates from member crwth (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=914465) like he said.
No updates on Charity topic also, but he is active everyday participating and writing as a part of his signature campaign.

As for some updates with charity, I have some remaining funds for the last remaining activity that I have reserved for the holidays. It will be on December 19. I'll update the charity thread by then.

I do hope everything clears out by then.

At this point, I can confidently state that these three have no funds left in their wallets; if they cannot show a simple proof of how the remaining funds were used or where they are stored, I will not believe the random pictures posted of food packs without receipts - this will go down in history as one of the most low-key charity scams ever.

If I'm proven wrong, I'll eat my statements.

As things stand @cabalism13 has admitted to using $500 for personal use which is completely inappropriate - but I can understand the life or death situation of a family member - wouldn't most of us here do the same and then return that funds back? You have the right as a DT member to leave the fedback you want, but I was confident that everyone would wait for the final outcome - especially since we now know that the Philippines was recently hit by a typhoon.

Hi Lucius, I don't want to get into a polemic with you either, in any case in a reasoned debate.

As I was saying, in these reputation threads it is normal that sometimes it gets personal because over time, some of us interact with others and develop a certain empathy, as I think is your case with cabalism13 whom you say you got to know better after donating small amounts to the charity.

So, when someone you have some empathy for is accused, you usually want more time or more evidence to be given by the accusers, rather than thinking that he is the one who has to provide evidence.

In my case to cabalism13 I did not know him at all, in fact I did not even know his nickname, and I want to explain why I think the red tag I left him is more than justified.

It's not just the $500, which in itself justifies the tag. It is also this:

NOW ACCEPTING
USDT/XRP/ETH/BNB
JUST SEND US A MESSAGE!

This alone, without the addresses being public, would have justified red tags in its day, but I guess it went unnoticed, as well as the division of funds between three people, funds that should have remained in the custody of the escrow, and this escrow issue is what makes me believe that 80% of me will end up leaving negative feedback to bL4nkcode (20% I think I will leave a neutral tag).

Probably cabalism13 (and the others) is in general a good person and has done good things, but it is clear to me that he has crossed a line he should not have crossed and therefore I would not trust him to donate to his charity or for money deals in general.

As for giving it time, yahoo62278 gave it a week before opening the thread, and in the only response cabalism13 has given it has left much to be desired to put it mildly. Even people who have empathy for him recognize that there are things that have been done wrong. Therefore, my red tag and that of the others who have left it, is more than justified.

Now it remains to see the other two, who also have good reputation, have people with empathy towards them and even are part of my signature campaign, which I consider as a family, because we are only 25, quality posters, many with good reputation and in DT and some merit sources.

But if as a result of the thread I see that I would not trust them for money deals, I will leave it reflected in red tags.

I am asking for a friend.

Considering that the cost of a travel in space is 250.000$ (https://eu.usatoday.com/story/money/2021/09/15/how-can-go-space-inspiration-4-and-future-space-travel/8350606002/), I think that with 350.000$ I can have a wedding in every country of Europe, to say the least (one wedding per week I mean) :)

I believe today is December 19 and we still don't have any updates from member crwth (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=914465) like he said.

I think they said the deadline is Dec 20th, thus today should be a great day  ::)

Besides, the fact that those USDT / XRP / ETH / BNB donations were mentioned without posting addresses for them too, this raises question marks... I wish the users in question can be able to answer to all the questions, as I thought they were members with good reputation and I am sure, at least, that some of the funds really went to charities. The question though is how many funds went to charities...

So said crwth before a typhoon swept through the Philippines. The typhoon seems to have affected the areas where cabalism13 and bL4nkcode are, but we don't know if it affected crwth's area. He might come around here and say something, because he committed to give data yesterday, and is still posting regularly on the forum as usual.

I thought this is already settled by it seems they choose to keep silent.

Yes, we've been hit by the super typhoon named "Odette" on Friday and Saturday.  I have been experienced since that day, no Electricity, No internet and the worst is no water and lack of food due to the cause of the heavy flood for two days.  Good thing I have my laptop saved and now it is almost 85% restoration of internet and electricity supply has been done and glad to see I can able to access the forum again.

Odette' slashes across 7 regions (https://www.manilatimes.net/2021/12/17/news/odette-leaves-swathe-of-destruction-in-12-regions/1826300) and it more wost in the Visayas and in Mindanao where I'm located.  But in NCR where they live and most charity activities are being held is on Morong Rizal (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5124375.msg56606067#msg56606067) and San Mateo Rizal (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5124375.msg55900553#msg55900553) and I have doubt they're near on that places which I think they only experienced signal number one only, AFAIK.  So, I don't think they are affected that much.

I hope they will resolve this ASAP, it's again the Filipino reputation which I hate when there's a fraud involved.

None of the auditor would accept the image as proof of the expenditure. I guess yahoo62278 or any other forum member was looking for some proofs which have tx amount & references. Either way, it's still something though the images of proof can be some random images too (just the probability).

I don't mind as long as they were in the charity thread but now things are different. They didn't act as they should have done; especially I'm disappointed with the activity from bl4nkcode (as escrow). Things would have been better & accordingly if bl4nkcode have acted as the way he would.

I will leave the questions and accusations as is, until cabalism provide the whole list of the past transactions and activities in a single sheet.
As escrow, you must have had a better explanation and records I guess.

The block-chain entries of what *should* be there is a good starting reference.  With the price of Bitcoin having apparently sunk over the last few weeks/months, it should be easy enough to revert the funds (in any currency) back into Bitcoin at a "new" wallet address (made public before the purchase occurs) where we can see what new transactions transpire.

Can you clarify what exactly you mean by "more layers of this stinky onion that have yet to be peeled away"? Do you think there is anyone other than the three members of the forum who participated in this and got some financial benefit?
No, I'm not saying there are more members involved.  But just based on all the BS I've seen on this forum over the years with situations like this, I'm kind of expecting evidence of more misappropriation of funds to be forthcoming.  So far crwth and bL4nkcode have yet to chime in, and I see that as an ominous sign.

Cabalism13 never said anything about needing funds from the charity due to the typhoon, just the story about his father--and frankly I wouldn't take that on face value when we're talking about embezzlement, so I'm not sure why you or anyone else would want to support his excuses (and that's exactly what they are).  How do any of us know that he was faced with a life-or-death situation with his father, where the only option was to take money out of the charity funds?  We've only got the word of someone who went silent after spending money that wasn't his and then after he was caught, stormed off and blamed the community for not trusting him enough (or whatever).

Frankly, if you're going to be holding funds for a charity or anything else that requires you not to dip your hand into the cookie jar, you really should be financially well off enough such that you wouldn't need to.  So the bottom line is that Cabalism shouldn't have had access to an entire pool of charity funds (or even 1/3 of it) if a $500 expense was enough to provoke him to steal.

If I were him I would've gotten a separate loan from DS for the $500 with a shorter due date... or used one of these lending platforms assuming that the crypto cannot be directly liquidated: https://spendmenot.com/best/bitcoin-lending-sites/
Again, that's assuming the story about his father is true.  I don't suspect we'll ever know for sure.

Good question, but only them who know everything.  :D
Or it could be a good question, where are the documents of the money spent?

All people asked here is the liquidation of the money spent during those activities they held and which is I assumed the paper documents have been lost and now they're facing this into trouble.

Post by: yahoo62278 on December 21, 2021, 04:59:59 AM
I have had many chats with 2/3 of these members and this whole situation kinda deflated my opinion of them. As far as cabalism using 500$ idk if i'd tag him for that being as that's kinda what he did with the charity. All their events were helping communities/families in need. So in his mind he probably felt like he wasn't doing anything wrong. I messaged him over this whole situation and was telling him about my open heart surgery at the end of October this year, and his first response was he thought that I was messaging about maybe the charity helping me out with some funds. That was not the case, but I think that's how his mind works since he has been running the charity. Someone needs help, we as a community should help them. Obviously not everyone who cries "help me please" should be helped, but I think we could all agree that if a well known member needed a boost, we would all probably break our backs and do what we could. You guys can do as you wish, but I will only be tagging if funds were stolen/missing aside from funds used to help someone. I don't agree with his actions, but I can see what/how he was thinking.

Now on to the others, If 1 person is tagged then all 3 should be tagged. Cabalism13 for running the charity incorrectly and making bad decisions, bl4nkcode for showing a poor example of how an escrow should operate, and crwth for agreeing to go along with it.

What I really feel we should do is get with all 3 of these guys and do some kind of audit. We need to know what the balance was at the time of the split( need to verify this via blockchain), addresses involved so it can be checked, expenses for these "activities" they did(receipts apparently are not available, but couldn't we figure out the money spent on these activities by figuring out what was given and the price of each thing?), and finally the balance left. They need to combine what's left, convert to crypto, and send back to the escrow address.

Now let's assume we get this whole mess figured out. Should the charity remain open? Will these guys ever have the full trust of the community again so they could operate the charity if they ran it correctly?

These are my thoughts on this situation. I'm not trying to be soft and not tag anyone, i'm trying to be a little understanding since these guys are not just newbie douchebags. Obviously everyone is free to do as they feel is correct, but i'd like some opinions on my thought process here.

I think you're too optimistic, but I'd love to see you're right. Considering you didn't get a complete answer for several weeks now, I'm not really expecting much anymore.
But if they somehow manage to come up with convincing numbers that show all the money was used properly, I'm not going to tell them to stop their charity work.

I am not going to tag any of them yet and I will give them more time to show more transaction proofs, not only images for their donation work.
It needs time to reproduce everything, especially if they had sloppy or no records keeping, but it can be done in few weeks top.

Good luck in getting any real audit for this charity  :D
I am not sure how Bitcoin is exactly regulated in their country and how they converted BTC to fiat money, they later used for purchasing donation stuff.
In the end we still need to trust their word, because it's not easy to track any coins once they get in exchange wallets.

Now let's assume we get this whole mess figured out. Should the charity remain open? Will these guys ever have the full trust of the community again so they could operate the charity if they ran it correctly?
They are obviously keeping things open and still working, according to latest post (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5124375.msg58773342#msg58773342) in their topic made by crwth (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=914465).
I would keep this charity running only if the come clean with previous work, and if in future they show exact amount of money/btc spent for something, along with images and short explanation.

You can tag them right now with a neutral rating with a reference to this topic, but without any incriminating evidence about the charity, painting red feels a bit overboard to me.

We need to know what the balance was at the time of the split( need to verify this via blockchain), addresses involved so it can be checked, expenses for these "activities" they did(receipts apparently are not available, but couldn't we figure out the money spent on these activities by figuring out what was given and the price of each thing?), and finally the balance left. They need to combine what's left, convert to crypto, and send back to the escrow address.

The problem with doing audits like this is that often there is no way to get a trace of what was spent on what, or even what money was sent for. The forum isn't the SEC, after all.

I just had a try to find all the tx links, relevant discussion & possible expenses. All this information was available on the internet. I just had a try to put them into one place since no one was giving a shit. You can find the sheet here- https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Z3nZePiflhAuPh6y_f9LxmL1997vdfeYsQo_hUyspT8/edit?usp=sharing

Though cabalism13 said, 0.55 BTC is questionable, from what I can see, a total of 0.56622723 BTC worth $18789 is questionable without any doubt. This is the sum of the amount sent for converting into USDT (supposed to be).
But if I sum the amounts which have no proof, the total is 0.84272723 BTC worth $23,875.96 which in my investigation may not have any proof.

Since bl4nkcode was the escrow, I would like him to answer the following questions if he/they want to assist the issue solved.

1. Is my spreadsheet correct? The receiver of the amount, proof link? If yes, okay; if not, which one & please with a spreadsheet.
2. On row 19 & 20- total of 0.1445 BTC worth $2531 sent to cabalism13 & crwth. Where's the money spent? No discussion here at all?
3. On row 21 & 22- total of 0.112 BTC worth $2006 sent to 2 addresses which was not previously used by any of you. Who received the fund & same question as of #2, where's the money spent?
4. A total of 0.56622723 BTC worth $18789 was transferred to bc1q20yenlspxprxk9dqttc6gue8yz02auth89jdvq, who owns this address? What was the total value after conversion? Who had access to the fund? You, crwth or cabalism13? Where's the money spent?
5. Lastly, there was some altcoin address. Cabalism13 asked to PM people to donate altcoin. Where are the addresses? Who owns these addresses? How much you received on that addresses?

A summary:
Total Received - 2.12264434 BTC
Total Sent - 2.11662723 BTC Rest are tx fees
Total sent USD - $40943 ($23875 is questionable)

#1- Please add $25 USDT more, it was donated by tranthidung (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5124375.msg54534025;topicseen#msg54534025).
#2- I didn't add the expense of the website as website expenses was supposed to be donated by someone else (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5124375.msg50802612#msg50802612).

Now on to the others, If 1 person is tagged then all 3 should be tagged. Cabalism13 for running the charity incorrectly and making bad decisions, bl4nkcode for showing a poor example of how an escrow should operate, and crwth for agreeing to go along with it.
You're probably right on that, but I'm awaiting the final tally from the other two members.  And I don't think I was being too hard on cabalism13 at all, since he clearly was mismanaging funds.  Even if he thought he wasn't, his response to the community speaks volumes.  This is not a person I'd entrust with my money, hence the negative trust.

Also, this isn't my fight since I wasn't a donator and had nothing to do with the workings of the charity, so I'm going to remain silent henceforth in this thread until or unless crwth and bl4nkcode explain themselves.  However, as a DT member (and for my own trust list) I felt a negative was well-justified in this case.

I don't know how long it took you to do that analysis, but I've no doubt an even more complete one could have been done by the three members in question if they had the inclination to do so, and it could probably have been finished on the 3rd day of this thread at the latest.

You didn't donate doesn't necessarily mean it's not your fight. I don't want to mention whether I have donated or not but this charity is named bitcointalk charity & the fund was raised from bitcointalk members. They owe an explanation to the bitcointalk community. You, me & anyone else in this forum deserve an explanation obviously.

It took ~5 hours. I have read the Charity thread from the first to the last page. Looked for tx relevant discussion, proof. But it's true that if they three were to present everything in one spreadsheet, it would take no more than a few hours as they are the one who knows how the money was spent. As I said-

This is why I mentioned they need to break down the exact cost of every item they bought for audit purposes. We will never get anything down to the penny regardless, but I do not think it's too much to ask that some effort be put into accounting by these guys.

I just had a quick look on the spreadsheet. It was not satisfiable. Though bl4nkcode & crwth expenses have some in depth, cabalism13 didn’t put any.
Either way, I'm confused on the following-

1. Cabalism13 said he spent 0.1225 BTC on this event- https://www.facebook.com/cgslagunadebay/posts/1295536597476624
This 0.1225 BTC is the amount from 0.55+ BTC from the leftover fund sent to Binance on 4th January 2021 but the event Cabalisn13 linked is from 23rd November 2020. Time travel? JK. Can cabalism13 please explain whether it's a wrong one or not?

2. In the details of bl4nkcode spent, you have shown bl4nkcode received 0.25 BTC and spent them. Okay. He received the fund in June 01, 2020; while in the screenshot, there's some USDT sell proofs which is from February 2021. He was supposed to sell the 0.25 BTC before June 11, 2020. Well, he did too. But what about the usdt tx in February 2021? bl4nkcode have received fund in January 2021. Run activities in December 2021 but why the USDT tx from February 2021?

3. bL4nkcode run 2 activities after this thread created? While he received the fund more than 11 months ago on his Binance. When did he sell? How much worth of USD?

I need to check out more. I don’t have time now; it's morning here. I will be checking out more on evening.

I'm not buying it.  The information provided is way too vague and without receipts there's no way to validate it.  Only one of the individuals even offered any information, and a generous amount time has passed since the data was requested.

And what's with the lack of receipts?  I can only think of two reasons why someone handling other peoples money wouldn't ensure he has all receipts to verify his transactions; malice or ineptitude.  Neither inspire much confidence.

Ok, so I'm going to explain why I am going to support the flags against Cabalism13 and bl4nkcode but not against crwth.

As for cabalism13 it is clear. He was in charge of the operation, admitted to taking $500 for personal use, posted that donations were accepted at non-escrow addresses via PM and admitted to yahoo62278 wrongdoing.

As for bl4nkcode, he is the escrow and had responsibility for the money. Just yesterday I created a neutral tag with this thread as a reference because between people asking for more time and yahoo62278 talking about an audit again, plus the recent hurricane, I could see a couple of months without even getting a neutral tag. I'm going to support the flag and delete the feedback.

As for crwth I think he is clearly less at fault than the other two. If this were a trial for misappropriation of funds in a company, the most serious penalties would go to the boss (cabalism13) and the treasurer (bl4nkcode,) the employee would surely receive lesser penalty if he received any. Also I don't think we have strong evidence against him unlike the other two. In this case I will neither support nor oppose the flag and will stand by my neutral tag.

I mostly agree with your words here, but I kinda feel like crwth is not an employee but a co treasurer when he accepted funds on the 3 way split. Like I said in my post, if someone is going to tag 1 I personally feel all 3 should be tagged. All of them were wrong and mishandled the funds by not keeping receipts alone. 1 could make a case for all 3 both ways, to tag or not to tag. I'm ok with either way personally.

I'd rather noone got tagged, but that's not likely to happen. I hope anyone else who reads this thread learns from it if they plan on having any part of a charity. Bookkeeping is huge especially when we the community donated the funds. Sticking to an agreement is huge as well.

I have waited enough to be honest. I gave them my benefit of doubt since they were some long term members and contributed in the forum a lot.

I don't go and tag people. That's not me but since this is public now - I have responsibility to act hard. After all it's the money in question which was asked for people in need.

Why would a clear transaction reference from them is taking too long? If I am honest I will act fast, very fast because I do not have to think a back up plan to protect me from the words I will speak.

If this were a criminal trial (which obviously it's not,) then yes, I would be in agreement.  But this is more like a civil suit where the proving liability, not guilt is the criteria.  Which brings me to the part of your quote that I bolded:  When someone is charged with handling other people's money (such as charitable contributions,) it's that person's responsibility to provide the evidence of where the money is going.  Since crwth is guilty of not honoring that obligation, in my opinion that's enough for a tag and flag.


The other issue that's worth addressing; all three of these members are still on DT1.

Oh. That's new to me and unpleasant to hear.
I have to familiarize myself with the subject matter before I can give my opinion.

I thought it would be a good campaign to which I myself already donated money and promoted this campaign...

Access denied? I thought to have a little audit but  ::)

The spreadsheet is asking for access. Why can't we make is public?
It was public earlier today morning when I posted last time. There was some wrong (or wrong) information which I have pointed out.

As for crwth I think he is clearly less at fault than the other two.
Don't you think how the activity was going on was known to crwth? He could have raised questions if things weren't going accordingly. Either way, he didn't have included anything yet; no tx record, no clear amount.
 As for now, I don't want to tag either of crwth & bl4nkcode nor I'm supporting the flag. I'll give them time to respond to the issues for a few more days. If they can't come clean, I will tag & support the flag.
Just have tagged cabalism13 for not being transparent as he is the host of the charity.

Earlier it worked, so the owner changed it.

It feels like crwth did less bad than the others, but if I imagine what I would have done, I think he could (and should) have done better. Let's say someone offered me 0.2BTC to spend on charitable causes in my country, and let's say it didn't occur to me the person who offered it was breaking his own promise by taking the money out of escrow when he handed it to me. I think, in the spirit of trying to help people, overlooking that mistake can be forgiven.
But then, when spending someone else's money on charitable causes, I would be meticulous in keeping track of everything. Partially because it's the right thing to do, but mainly because it's the only way I can prove I used the money properly.

Maybe crwth can share all records he has, in a separate spreadsheet edited only by him?

If you sent that 0.2 btc to any organization that accepts Bitcoin donations for charity, how exactly would you track their spending habits and check they are not abusing this money?
I think that everybody remembers notorious fake hunanrightsfoundation who is still acepting donations for who knows what, maybe for arming his hezbollah paramilitary units.
Even for legit big charity organizations you can't really see and verify how they are spending money, but I am sure they are keeping transactions in private for personal records.

the document is locked and no longer available. I opened it for a moment when Yahoo had just shared it here, but it was awkward for me to watch anything on the mobile phone.
they didn't seem to expect yahoo to share it here, so in the end, it is still locked.
I guess less transparent can't be.

No, they sent the spreadsheet to yahoo62278 before I had the spreadsheet created. But that doesn’t include a lot of information if you are expecting to get something. As I shared above, it has some wrong information as well & name of the ingredients and their price. No records of price receipts.
Did you read the below quoted post? Please read if you haven’t. I had a look on the spreadsheet and found this without spending much time.

I only showed the numbers I noticed for being "round", it's not the full spreadsheet. Due to the lack of any receipts I can't know what is or isn't correct, but I can make a wild assumption about round numbers.
I should have saved the spreadsheet.

According to their profiles cabalism has not been online since the 19th and the other 2 since the 21st. The red paint may have deterred them from wanting to answer, although I have been getting regular replies from cabalism on telegram. His last message to me was the spreadsheet and him telling me he would be offline mostly until the new year. The other 2 I haven't really reached out to.

bL4nkcode and crwth are active (well logged in two days before should not mean in active).

Odds?
Give me 5 options to chose.

Edit: Wrong observation. I was checking his last posting date.

I look and read closely this thread from the start and to be honest, this behavior pisses me off. They have been accused of mishandling/ abusing charity money from our community, and still nothing, not even a post. Two of them posted regularly like nothing happened, while the third person told us with such simplicity to just...f**k off! Of course, when they ask for our money, was pretty talkative and "active".
IMO all three of them deserve a red tag, even if they can prove that they didn't abuse the charity money. Because they are all responsible for informing, keeping receipts, and communicating everything that they want to do with a charity fund and not hunting them for explanations. If yahoo62278 didn't notice it, they will let us know? Not a chance in a million.


If you sent that 0.2 btc to any organization that accepts Bitcoin donations for charity, how exactly would you track their spending habits and check they are not abusing this money?

That's false. You can track their habits and expenses, like was a company. They also have articles of association, payrolls, expenses, accounting in general. However, this charity fund, isn't an "entity", an rl organization. So having a simple excel for tracking where they donate, I guess it wasn't hard.

It's not false at all because I was talking about external checking and auditing, and public (including you) can't exactly track and verify how FidelityCharitable or SaveTheChildren (for example) spends their received bitcoins.
Internal checking is something totally different and I already mentioned that in my post.

I don't argue with you, I understand it wrong. Of course, internal checking is different from external.
In this case though, those guys are not an entity like SaveTheChildren (a 501(c)(3) organization (https://www.investopedia.com/terms/1/501c3-organizations.asp)). We can't make a comparison between three guys in a public forum asking members to help, with any type of established charity organization. They should be keeping receipts, a spreadsheet would be the least they could do, and they should have been transparent from the moment that they decide to start this charity. They don't even care to answer here.

No permission other than "view only" was given. It was my surprise when I tried to access it with my laptop. I couldn't & I'm sure that I was logged in with my email address; while I can access it from my mobile LOL. I have copied a few tabs only where the summary was added. You can check out it here- https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1fBlmMu5sRqD3i-SUw1MtUIE54lNTzOvxpfFuiDZW29s/edit?usp=sharing
Let me know if more tabs are required; I didn't because I guess these aren't necessary.
It would be good if yahoo62278 would confirm the data are the same as the one shared by cabalism13; just to make sure I didn't tamper with any data.

I also don't think they are alt accounts, but there is certainly an interesting history between them.

bl4nkcode take a loan from cabalism, 20000 PHP (which is around $400 today as Google says) on Apr 16. '21.

https://loyce.club/archive/posts/5679/56796511.html

cabalism13 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1605387)    2021-06-16    Reference (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5142115.msg56796511#msg56796511)    Got a loan >$400 from him for 2 months. Paid. Thank you.

this is nothing unusual, but it is interesting that cabalism is taking a loan from DarkStar_
first on (reference (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3243635.msg56718245#msg56718245)) 2021/04/05 - $200
second (reference (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3243635.msg56876351#msg56876351)) 2021/04/26 - $400 (just 10 days after he accept to lend almost the same amount to blankcode)
then third (reference (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3243635.msg57158291#msg57158291)) 2021/06/04 - $2000 (which is still open, if the data in DarkStar_ spreadsheet are correct)

I don't insinuate anything, it's just illogical for me to lend money to someone and at the same time ask for a loan from a third party. whether he resold the loan, yet at that time blankcode had a good enough reputation to get a loan from Darkstar (just my assumption) there was no need for a mediator.

If I understand correctly, he asked for $2K in June that he was going to pay back in 2 or 3 months and at most 6. He should have paid it all back already and according to row 174 of the spreadsheet (if I understand it correctly) he has made a partial payment of $500 of the total $2,686 he has to pay back, plus he has left BTC and bnb as collateral, but he has not paid it all back yet.

I guess now that his bitcointalk account is ruined the temptation to not pay may be even greater.

Incidentally, I see several people I know from the forum in the spreadsheet and I am surprised. No way you're going to see me paying 2.70%-6.60% monthly interest. I must be financially very healthy because it seems crazy to me.

I don't insinuate anything, it's just illogical for me to lend money to someone and at the same time ask for a loan from a third party. whether he resold the loan, yet at that time blankcode had a good enough reputation to get a loan from Darkstar (just my assumption) there was no need for a mediator.

It is certainly curious

Edited to say that I see in row 213 that crwth has an active non-secured loan. The same. I hope he is honest and pays it back but in a non-secured loan where the only collateral is your Bitcointalk account, if the account is ruined, there may be a temptation not to pay back the loan.

If I understand correctly, he asked for $2K in June that he was going to pay back in 2 or 3 months and at most 6. He should have paid it all back already and according to row 174 of the spreadsheet (if I understand it correctly) he has made a partial payment of $500 of the total $2,686 he has to pay back, plus he has left BTC and bnb as collateral, but he has not paid it all back yet.

the delay does not necessarily mean a problem and if both parties agree, extending the repayment period is ok.
I guess lender DarkStar_ probably knows about this drama and I hope this all ends positively.

Incidentally, I see several people I know from the forum in the spreadsheet and I am surprised. No way you're going to see me paying 2.70%-6.60% monthly interest. I must be financially very healthy because it seems crazy to me.

Never say never. you can't know what can happen to you and that you may need money urgently.

Let's hope that the loans situation ends up positively and they pay back what they owe.

I still want to believe that funds were spent properly, but things definitely don't look nice. Even if they spent all money for good case, this is not how things should be done. If you decided to make charity campaign, publicity and transparency should be main thing. After all, all these money were donated by people, it's not your own property. If I would do such thing, I would try to keep receipts of every purchase and add record of it to spreadsheet. Because it's not enough to add vague information that $50 were spent on potato or $100 on rice without any receipt.
What I unlike most in this situation that these users don't bother to reply to accusation properly and seems that they don't give a shit about it. And coincidence or not, but soon after accusation they become basically inactive on forum.

It would be good if yahoo62278 would confirm the data are the same as the one shared by cabalism13; just to make sure I didn't tamper with any data.
I cannot confirm anything currently. I have no access to the sheet now myself. I will ask them to make the spreadsheet public, but cannot guarantee they will.

I'm surprised that this charity has been running for almost two years with approximately 2BTC+ donated and that there are no single receipts of items purchased, only some random pictures of foods and packed items that could be obtained from the internet (I'm not accusing anyone, I'm simply stating the possibility). If C13 was able to withdraw $500 from the charity account for medical care without the authorization of the donators, it's probable that some of the charity funds were used for purposes not mentioned above. I don't know C13's financial situation, but it's risky to put such a large sum of money in the hands of someone who isn't financially sound...

I take back what I said about not posting in this thread, because for whatever reason I feel like I have to respond to comments like yours; you are correct that things don't look good, and the longer this goes on with no reply from any of the members involved, the worse it looks and the worse it probably is

It's possible that it could take time to provide a full accounting of funds moved/spent by any one member, but when there's just radio silence that isn't a good sign that anything is being worked on.

I'm pretty sure there's a way to put bitcoin in a wallet with 2FA or something similar, right?  Aren't bitcointalk's funds held in an arrangement like that?  That might have been a good idea with this amateur-hour charity, since if they did that Cabalism13 would have had to ask permission from at least one of the other members before using some of the funds for his own purposes.  Instead, he apparently sought advice from people who had nothing to do with the charity and were in no position to give him permission to do anything with those funds.  At least that's what he claimed.

I bet you they're not, and the only reason I say that is because none of them are your typical fly-by-night scammers, plus I don't believe the charity was started with the intention of scamming anyone.  I think temptation and the availability of a large amount of money got the best of at least one of the members involved.

That would be multisig, which is more complicated and leads to higher transaction fees.

Quote
That might have been a good idea with this amateur-hour charity, since if they did that Cabalism13 would have had to ask permission from at least one of the other members before using some of the funds for his own purposes.
That's why there was an escrow involved. I wouldn't have trusted bL4nkcode with 1 Bitcoin, but that's not relevant because the anonymous donator did trust him.
The purpose of an escrow is to make sure funds are only used for the right cause.

Quote
Instead, he apparently sought advice from people who had nothing to do with the charity and were in no position to give him permission to do anything with those funds.  At least that's what he claimed.
He could have claimed it was charity for his grandfather, which would at least make it a tiny bit in the spirit of the charity (assuming he was still alive at the time):
To be honest, yes. I have used 500$ from the funds back then for the medications of my deceased grandfather, I even asked before I did that on my Filipino Community

I don't believe the charity was started with the intention of scamming anyone.  I think temptation and the availability of a large amount of money got the best of at least one of the members involved.
To quote myself:
"opportunity makes the thief"
I think most people would feel temptation at a high enough amount of money. It's best to prevent that opportunity from happening.

Ok, let's take this possibility as true. What did the other two do? And especially the one who work as escrow for a fund, a keeper of others' money. He just says hell yeah, take whatever you need, after all, is for charity. Now, for whos charity, it doesn't matter. We name our greediness an "urgent need" and take the money.
I'm sorry to say it but there is nothing to wait for here. Their irresponsibility and sloppiness are a fact, as their silence for the matter. I see all the members trying to justify the behavior of these three and these three (who fail to do what they suppose to do), not to be bothered. So why do we have to bother?

... plus I don't believe the charity was started with the intention of scamming anyone.  I think temptation and the availability of a large amount of money got the best of at least one of the members involved.

I have the same opinion, and I think so far everyone I've seen commenting on the thread has said the same thing. That in the beginning the intention was good. Probably neither they themselves cared too much about keeping receipts nor the community to control it because if you get a $50 donation, another $20 donation and I give you another $25 donation, if you show me some pictures that's enough, but if you get a whole Bitcoin, you have to be very careful.

If this were a criminal trial (which obviously it's not,) then yes, I would be in agreement.  But this is more like a civil suit where the proving liability, not guilt is the criteria.  Which brings me to the part of your quote that I bolded:  When someone is charged with handling other people's money (such as charitable contributions,) it's that person's responsibility to provide the evidence of where the money is going.  Since crwth is guilty of not honoring that obligation, in my opinion that's enough for a tag and flag.

In the end I deleted my neutral tag and supported the flag, partly because of this argument and partly because of the fact that they disappeared from the forum days ago. If I considered myself innocent I wouldn't do that.

To me they consider themselves somehow guilty and defeated. bL4nkcode used to earn $100 a week from the Best Change signature campaign. That's good money for someone living in the Philippines. crwth didn't write as much but he also made money from the campaign. Think of them as people who have borrowed money on the forum, some as little as $200.

If I considered myself innocent, even if I didn't keep all the receipts, I would have come more to this thread to show my face and fight for my reputation and save my income.

  • There are two users.  I favor this scenario in which two users, for example cabalism13 and crwth are alts are able to persuade the other person (two votes to one) how to spend the funds.

Since only a few wallets support 2FA, multi-sig would've been the best option, but that wouldn't have changed anything because a single "send $500 to my wallet" message from C13 to BLK would've been enough to get BTC pushed to his wallet, and he already knew why he chose his friend to be the escrow in the first place.

I believe there was a misquote there because I never accused any of them of being scammers, nor did I suggest the charity was involved in any kind of scam attempts; instead, I just stated that these guys have opted not to give a fvck about reporting the charity's activities to anyone.

Yes, there is charity work going on, and I saw some images from crwth and BLK in the charity thread, but at this moment there are questions in everyone's heads, and pictures aren't enough; we need to see something on paper at least once in a while. I secretly hope that this organization will grow and expand beyond the Philippines to include other neighboring countries.

it seems strange to me that all three guys provided vague facts, I would understand if this behavior was traced only in one participant in this case, but not in three at once.
Are you suggesting they're alts? [...] What are the odds they all stop posting and stay offline at the same time?
No, and I think you will agree with the extremely low probability that these three accounts can be operated by the same person (especially considering the posting style and the fact that all of these accounts are members of DT1). Speaking of oddities, I meant a general chat in a telegram or other messenger in which these three could coordinate their actions and words, at least this would explain the synchronous offline.

Shit!
I feel you bud. In my lending business I lost more money then profited and eventually I decided to stop the service.



I am not being judgemental for a nation or a race but unfortunately Filipino community is losing their credibility in fact lost all credibility. Remember those guys TYM, asu? If I am not wrong then many more scammers were in fact from Philippine. The numbers are high if we compare with other community.

There is a pattern for them. They join and build up a solid reputation. They do it very fast. TYM, asu, cabalism13, crwth and many more, bL4nkcode is a bit different I guess (Took long time to pull the scam for him).


I think from now on we should not trust guys who are very focused on building up good reputation that they are getting it too fast. They are fine as long as they are not asking for money or involving them in a trade. We should not also leave them positive tags or in the DT system very quick just because they are contributing in the community. Let them have over x years of legibility, maybe 5 years (?) before giving them a positive feedback or adding them into the DT network.

There are many users who I have seen built up their reputation very quick, in fact the number of merits they earn is a short span seems unbelievable. But consider them with a regular forum user, they should not have even one 10th of the merit they earned or appreciated by the old times. Who knows these guys might have very similar plan? Some day they will pull a successful scam and they are preparing for it?

PS: My own observation by the way. These incidents should give us some lessons.

I don't think account age matters much, and I definitely wouldn't trust someone just because their account is 5 years old.

My point is to decided if you want to add them in your trust network and leave them a positive feedback.

I can find you users who are getting easily in the trust network just because they earned few hundreds of quick merits, busted scammers or did certain activities which looks positive and now they became DT members with unnecessary positive feedback left by other DT members like "This is a good scam buster I trust him" or "x is very active forum member and contributing in the forum from xxx times".

If someone is very focused in building up their reputation and doing is very fast then there should be things to be worried. This was my point of the last post.

I think I am one of those people who do put everyone in the same line. I have fought for newbies in many occasions. And in many occasions they even did better deal than a highly reputed member in the forum for me.

If you want to deal with them then let them trust you first (if you are old timer and highly trusted in the forum). Don't leave them a feedback and don't add them in your trust network until there is a certain long period they are active in the community and doing good things for it.

Just a follow up to my rating on cabalism13 I wrote:

While I do feel that the charity auditing is quite in shambles (and I do not recommend these guys to continue running it without at least a logging their work in a spreadsheet with transactions in it), I don't feel like cabalism13 is really out to scam us.

True, money was sent out to them that was used for personal expenses, but I don't think he's simply going to run away with the charity money and disappear from the forum. In his case it would be illogical to do that since he has a bunch of business connections here (that have nothing to do with the charity).

But if anyone who donated to him wants a refund, I think he should definitely honor that and issue refunds to those donors.

If he needed to borrow money from lenders, if he needed to use the fund from charity to spend on his relative's treatment then do you think he has financial solvency to return even a one 10th of a bitcoin right now?

We are talking about 2+ bitcoin that was mishandled and I think this is a lot of money for them (in the country they are in) to do nothing but spend time on a beautiful beach for the next 5 years. Then after 5 years take an assignment of building few bitcointalk accounts and give 2 years effort before making another successful scam.

Sorry, it took quite a long time to post again here. Really had a hard time IRL because I got sick and needed to be isolated from my family and work. If you noticed, my posting rates are down because of this and what I’m going through personally, and I do hope you guys understand that to be part of a signature campaign like this is important to me because it helps with my personal expenses.

I know this shouldn’t be an excuse, but this is really what happened and it’s my fault for not posting and updating for a while and I hope that I’m making it up to you guys by posting here.

If you guys are interested in my tests, here it is. I could send the result if you are interested. Thankfully it’s now negative, good for the holidays.
https://i.imgur.com/4nKYKgu.png https://i.imgur.com/LHbvMow.jpg



Back to the main point

Here is a link for my expenses.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1PupnusqpO1FJIWPztyX0SfdGYcCubIbF94e3jldW3Fo/edit?usp=sharing

This is a copy of the spreadsheet that was posted, and I just copied my part on it.
It’s going to be quite different from what is previously posted because I haven’t seen the receipt back then and I had to search the internet first for the prices of the items I included in the package.

The balance that I received and converted to PHP

For the receipts, I did manage to recover some. The thermal paper in supermarkets always has this tendency to fade right away.
https://i.imgur.com/EPSUTDC.jpg https://i.imgur.com/bFFz7A4.jpg https://i.imgur.com/8gt71uc.png

You can see the breakdown in the spreadsheet.



You know, I was really trying to help because my intention for this is good and to be tied up and accused of different stuff feels so demotivating. It just made it feel even sadder and harder to defend if all they see is the negative ones and not praise the ones that have been done already.

You know the sad thing about this is that once you thought of somebody not logging in, it’s already a burned account or something but that’s not always the case. Thank you to those who have posted good stuff first and try to understand at first why it’s happening. It’s really what makes the community amazing, TBH.

I do hope to continue this and possibly with better guidance at the helm to prevent this situation again. Together as a community, we aim to be better and help a lot more people in the future.

Happy holidays to everyone.

This is my first time to see this issue. But since I trust you guys. I suggest that you should provide the screenshot of actual spending receipt on the spreadsheet and also the value in fiat of Bitcoin by the time you convert and used it to purchased items needed for donations. Just indicate the miscellaneous and other extra things that you purchased so that the value will tally and everyone will have a peace of mind.

People just want see that spending will be equal to the total donation. I know that you need to use some money for miscellaneous like transpo, your labor fee and other expenses. Just be honest and declared all the expenses. You can do this.

Good for those who get tested every time. I got tested because I got symptoms of suspected covid. Having fever, diarrhea, body pains is not a joke. This is to verify if you have covid, I consulted a doctor first and it was recommended as well, if you want to see the medical prescription, PM me. That's not the main point of the thread though.

Sorry if this is true but what this has to do with the proof you were supposed to post here? The image is dated on 23rd December while this thread has been posted on 11th December. By the way, such images can be easily made up, faked or what's not?
You have provided some receipts, do they really prove anything? I really don't think so.

It's quite funny (in a cringe-inducing kind of way, I'm not trying to make light of this situation) how this compares to another incident recently where someone was accused of things and said "I was sick" and some people were outraged how the poor sick person was treated.

I've been sitting on the fence here (very uncomfortable) and honestly can't figure out what crwth is accused of. There were pictures provided of activities that seemed legit. I don't think the original thread promised detailed receipts.

That's not to say there isn't an issue with funds, or that there isn't a communication problem, but it looks to me like there also was a failure to convey expectations to the organizers of this charity, either in advance or at least after those big donations were given. It's seems a bit disingenuous to demand receipts a year later.

IOTW it was possible (at last for crwth; not sure about the other two people involved) to be completely honest and follow the letter and the spirit of the charity thread and end up with a red tag/flag for it because he didn't do something that wasn't part of the deal. I think that's messed up. I will oppose the flag until and unless actual proof of misconduct is provided.

The reason why I haven't been posting too much. If you were having symptoms, you need to at least isolate yourself for a couple of weeks, 14 days to be exact here. So of course my actions were limited and had to be verified again if I have covid etc.

The image is dated on 23rd December while this thread has been posted on 11th December. By the way, such images can be easily made up, faked or what's not?
TBH, this is not really the point of the post though. Why are you focusing on this?

Previously, I told about it there (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5376475.msg58764176#msg58764176)

I opposed all three flags but as said, I thought something bad were done by three guys but to say they scam, I don't think so. I want to say a few more things and honestly, I don't involve in this charity and their activities.

  • I forgot to mention that months ago, not sure when (it is too long already), cabalism13 asked me that whether I can help him to do charity activities in Vietnam. I said No, because of few reasons:
    • I don't have time to manage such operations
    • It's pandemic and I have elderly in my family so that I can not put them under risk if I hang out for charity and bring the virus back to infect them. It's not right
    • Running a charity requires lot of things, I know that because I have joined many of charity activities. Because I do neither have time for lots of steps in a whole procedure, I only donate money to charity, to people I trust if I want to help
    • This invitation of cabalism13 probably was sent around the same period when he sent BTC to Croatia and malboroza, I knew it. However, honestly I did not know his charity received 1 BTC from a very generous donator
  • About issues in this charity, something are bad in operations and should be managed better.
  • However, it already happened. I don't think it is good to ask for all receipts for purchases months or 2 years ago. I myself, never keep such things for too long. Of course, some leftovers can be found that are what you can expect from this charity.
  • As charity operators, they should imagine of such things, have skills and plans for good management. Anyway, it already happened and it is unfair to say they are scam only because they did not keep receipts, etc.
  • I don't expect such transparent things when I donate my money to charity. I donate to many sources and not only to this charity, just told you so. I am not rich but it is what I did and please don't ask me to show you proof of my donations
  • Not only for this charity team, but for other teams want to run such things: this is a good lesson, do things transparently, spreadsheets for all activities, expenses, receipts, reports with signature between charity and receivers, etc. Such things help to make charity actually better and you will be free from accusation. If you feel that you can not do so (example you are careless guys), don't operate any charity from donated fund. If you want to do charity, use your own money. It's best for all!



A bit off-topic

In my nation, about 4 months ago, a same drama happened which (in my opinion) was triggered by someone related to government. Then people ask about receipts, invoices, audits, etc. I know there are good and bad charity operators but that drama put all charity operators under pressure, and wasted their time for reports to the community. Even those activities happened 2 or 3 years ago.

It is crowd or herd effects, I meant.

Consequently, locals have less intention to do charity now. It's bad for disadvantaged people but looks good for governmental-backed foundations. I don't like it, frankly.

I think that's messed up. I will oppose the flag until and unless actual proof of misconduct is provided.
All of them posted pictures of whatever event they were a part of up until June of this year. Then everything stopped. I said in the beginning I believe they were doing good for their communities, but there was a definite breach of contract.


This fund raising program will be conducting such activities like feeding program, helping the orphans and other possible donations.

Funds will be hold by an escrow (bl4nkcode), and for every donations TXID will also be posted here to let the public keep in touch.


Updates, Activities, Images will be posted here as soon as we have conducted such activities.

Just because cabalism13 posted the thread, he is the only 1 being held responsible in alot of peoples minds, but in fact all 3 involved agreed to these terms so all 3 are guilty IMO.

I cannot say for sure that any 1 of the 3 stole a single penny. That is reflected in my trust given to all 3. I have not called any of them thieves. What prompted me to give a negative was the lack of response, lack of even logging in, and the response given when they did log in. The community 100% deserved a warning to be seen before they decided to donate another cent. The charity needs/needed an official book keeper so as to show where every cent was going. They failed to show all of that to this point. Flags and tags can be changed, I have no issue with anyone withdrawing support or opposing. Crwth contacted me last night, so I knew he was going to post today and I also told him his rep was salvageable. The other 2 I wasn't so sure of due to their actions to this point, but they may just be away for the holidays who knows.

I agree it will be nearly impossible to get receipts from the beginning, but I would say that they could see what all was donated and get a price for all those items then add it all together and show on the spreadsheet to get some sort of quote for the money that was spent.

Moving forward, if they are to continue and all tags removed(idk if this will happen), they will need to show all transactions and utilize the escrow(bl4nkcode or anyone else willing). There should never be money not protected.

@crwth, Didn't you know what's going on with the charity fund, escrow contract wasn't in its way & if any corruption on going? Did you know anything? If yes, why didn't you alert the community about it? Don't you think you should share with the community about things that are not going accordingly? It's great that you have provided some documents which are real; to me it's real.

I don't know if it was so hard for you to wait few more days after new year.

I agree with you, they never promised to present any records for transactions, and I will repeat again... we had much worse situation with official bitcointalk forum donations and new forum software that never happened.
I don't think that anyone was tagged or received negative feedback for that.
Are we asking for theymos and moderators to show us records how they spent donations?

We can all agree they handled situation bad and this would go unnoticed if yahoo didn't report this, that makes me speculate that maybe he donated or know someone who donated to this charity.
I know we are all suspicious to any posts, but I am trying to keep open mind, and I believe crwth in this case when he sad that he was sick, he even presented some receipts.
I am not going to support that flags.

Time for some tough questions:

  • Where's the money?
  • Who's idea was it to first dip into the funds for personal needs?  And, as a follow-up: How long then did it take to become "normal" to use the funds for non charitable payments?
  • How many people do you owe money to?  (And how much do you owe)??

You know, I was really trying to help because my intention for this is good and to be tied up and accused of different stuff feels so demotivating. It just made it feel even sadder and harder to defend if all they see is the negative ones and not praise the ones that have been done already.
As they say, it can take years to build a stellar reputation but only seconds to ruin it.  There have been many people throughout history who've done a lot of charity work and other good works for people only to have it sullied by a scandal.  Bernie Madoff is the first example that comes to mind, but I could probably list a dozen others if I thought about it for a few minutes.  

In addition, good intentions count for little if the accompanying behavior isn't good--the road to hell is paved with them, to use another old saying.  So you shouldn't be surprised that this charity, the members behind it, and how the funds donated were spent are all being scrutinized with critical eyes.  You've been a member of the forum long enough that you should know that reputations are destroyed in an instant and it doesn't matter what a person's history was.  Ultimately this is the internet and more importantly this is bitcoin.  It's very easy to scam with due to its pseudo-anonymous nature, and the whole bitcoin space is full of scammers and always has been.

You know the sad thing about this is that once you thought of somebody not logging in, it’s already a burned account or something but that’s not always the case.
Again with your feelings, just like cabalism13.  I don't know about anyone else, but the feelings of the three of you are irrelevant.  The receipts and how the money was spent are.  And again, you've been a member of bitcointalk long enough that you ought to know how members tend to think when it comes to someone not replying to a scam accusation while still being active on the forum.

Well you suggested this few days ago so I am not surprised, but I think it's a bit harsh and especially doing this during holiday season.
I don't know if it was so hard for you to wait few more days after new year.
What does the holiday season have to do with any of this?  Should anyone care more about the emotional feelings of three members who are being questioned by the community about some very serious matters?  And on top of that, there's been ample time for all of them to respond in this thread.  

I supported both flags thus far.

we had much worse situation with official bitcointalk forum donations and new forum software that never happened.
I don't think that anyone was tagged or received negative feedback for that.
That's a case of "whataboutism" if I ever saw one, and those examples have nothing to do with this thread.  I hate to say this (and I'm not attacking you, but your argument), but you're being far too lenient on these three members and perhaps a bit naive as well.

All were looking good until the point marked 1.

After that things were mess except only two:

  • Row 52, crwth had references of the activities  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5124375.msg55900553#msg55900553)he has done. After looking at the images and I feel there are nothing to doubt.
  • Row 56, cabalism13 sent for (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5124375.msg55992568#msg55992568) marlboroza and it's clearly documented.

There are 7 outgoing txes for cabalism13 and only 1 was documented. The total amount for undocumented txes were: 0.54722358 BTC (I have no idea how much they were in USD).

2 outgoing txes for bL4nkcode and total was: 0.56639445 BTC

There are no trace of spending or using the fund so far for the total of 0.54722358 + 0.56639445 = 1.11361803 BTC from these two. There are no effort from these two as well to give satisfactory answers too.

After the 2nd 1 BTC donation it seems big portions were gone to cabalism13 and bL4nkcode. crwth was given a small part it (0.09970577) to cover the activities he has done.

I am giving crwth my benefit of the doubt. At least he gave enough effort to keep things clean. But for bL4nkcode and cabalism13, I stay in my decision unless they present something that will be somehow acceptable.

Okay, let's look at it this way:  (these receipts aren't on the spreadsheet posted just above BTW)

Three scrunched up receipts from eleven months ago.  Two are hand written with no contact details and a vague letter "C" as if that's supposed to explain all.

Then receipt 0367 in image three has the wording: This document is not valid for claim of input taxes."

Did it occur to you on reading (the tax disclaimer) that you might run into difficulties later on down the track if there were an audit of your expenditure?




@LoyceV - was it really necessary to give this person four merits for a Covid test receipt and three vague hand written receipts (one of which is for *bags*?) from eleven months ago. ?

I never heard of a case with forum donation similar like this, so I can't compare it with anything better...some people even sent donations to Bruno AKA Phinnaeus Gage, or someone who claimed it was him, but they did it with their own free will.
Nobody forced people to DONATE, they never promised to have detailed reports whatsoever, and nobody asked them to provide any evidence until now.
I honestly don't think they should be crucified for this, I am not defending them but I have the right on my own opinion to not go with the herd, and I don't think that I am naive for thinking like this.
I certainly don't agree that all 3 of them should be treated equally here, and I just wanted to give them some more time for defending.

I still have mixed feelings about it, it's at least very naive not to keep accurate records.

In hindsight, with the ~2 BTC - yes.

However it didn't start like that. I didn't donate to this specific effort but I've given money in similar circumstances. Let's say you give $100 to someone halfway across the world and the person provided e.g. a picture of a happy crowd with what could be $100 worth of groceries in front of them, is a receipt going to change anything? Without being there in person you have no way to verify it so comes down to trusting - or not - that person with the $100. And if you didn't ask for a receipt to begin with, you'd be an asshole to start asking for it a year later.

Anyway, with the somewhat spotty evidence provided I have no reason to believe that crwth is at fault here. There seem to be significant amounts gone to the other two guys, so there is probably more work needed to untangle that part.

If someone across the street much less halfway across the globe asked you to donate $100 to their cause you wouldn't until you had done some checks and balances.




@crwth - what sort of advance notification did you or the others receive that an entire bitcoin would twice be donated?

Apples and oranges. Across the street you can "check and balance" in person. Not feasible halfway across the world, not for $100 anyway. And most of the information provided remotely (pictures, receipts, spreadsheets) can be faked. So it comes down to trust.

Ok so, I am going to write what I hope will be my last comment in this thread and I'm done with it. Unless now cabalism13 and bl4nkcode show up with receipts etc. I don't think it's worth giving the matter any more thought.

I find what suchmoon has said quite sensible, and I said something similar in this thread before he wrote. If I give $50 to a charity, seeing a picture is good enough for me. If you want to show a receipt, all the better, but at the end of the day both the photo and the receipt can be forged, and this is not a professional charity, they were three friends who tried to help people with small contributions that they received at first, the problem came when they received very considerable amounts.

For me there are several things that make me think that crwth deserves the benefit of the doubt, and this is what the community has understood, because if you go to his trust page, the flag is not shown for insufficient support and only the negative feedback of DireWolfM14 is left:

1) The amount of money. He received and handled considerably less money than cabalism13 and bl4nkcode.

2) His attitude. The best of the three people involved in this.

3) He neither ran the charity nor was he the escrow. Although here we could say that he is partly to blame too, I think he is less to blame than the other two, and this is how the community has understood it.

By the way, such images can be easily made up, faked or what's not?
You have provided some receipts, do they really prove anything? I really don't think so.
Yes but in our country (same with crwth) receipts often looks like that so I can attest that he is showing you the exact receipt that he did get from purchase. I don't think being grilled like this have some sort of chance to lie of what was being wanted by most of us here don't you think? Also it does prove something of their spent from the charity money, so I think that's a common sense it did prove something.

I also think that crwth joins the charity to help some people that needed funds. So in this kind of scenario everyone should at least give them some good points aside from the negative aspect of their transactions alone. But I understand that there should be a transparent document presenting those spent charity funds which I assume (loss, misplaced, or whatsonot). Anyway, clearly seeing some advance on their part to present some receipts.

Anyway, with the somewhat spotty evidence provided I have no reason to believe that crwth is at fault here. There seem to be significant amounts gone to the other two guys, so there is probably more work needed to untangle that part.
Maybe we just need to wait, but I have a question:  Let say that some of the receipts or evidence were gone or cant be presented, is voucher acceptable for the audit or you think everyone would consider that as forging. Chances some of those receipts are probably lost due to some reason right? What will be the judgement for that.

Traditionally in finance, management, scientific research, there are retention periods in which you will have to store all records safely and have to obey clear rules for destruction of data.

I don't think we have such things with spontaneous charities. There are no Memorandum of understanding (MOU). I meant in spontaneous activities, such requirements only be raised after suspicious things which can be right accusation or just misunderstanding or mis-communication  or just bad operation (but it's different than scam). In the end, operators will bear the most disadvantages if they are non-scammers!

So as I said, if you want something clear and professional, go to big charity foundations which are easily to find. If you participate in spontaneous charities & have clear ideas about what might happen, you should bring such requirements at beginning before you send your donation.


As I said, it is not my backing words for this charity. Just fact in life!

Just want to shed some light on those receipts, they are not considered Official Receipts and therefore not qualified to be used for input taxes. It's a common practice among small-medium businesses (registered/unegistered) here not to use receipts approve by the BIR because it costs more and it takes time to get one from authorized printing companies.

The C usually means Cash payment and that's also a common practice.

So, just because this wasn't an entity, some big charity organization, they have the excuse not to track everything that they do. How serious is that, especially when you handle others' money for a cause?

Besides, they started by keeping things in (some) order but suddenly, forget to continue it. There is a magical way to forget to do it, at some point?
Some said that they started with good intentions but they "lost" it on their way. So? Greater initiatives, bigger projects, "lose" it, and along lost the funds that they suppose to keep/ spent for a reason. They are excused because they didn't start with such intentions?

If for any reason they can't keep up the work that they started, they should inform and stop it. They didn't. If anyone from their team was in need of taking some of the charity funds for personal use, they should inform. They didn't. If they spend money for doing what they suppose to do but they miss taking a receipt (?), they should take action and get it. They didn't. If someone from their team was accused of mishandling the funds, they should react/ respond from day one and not in person but publicly. They didn't. The problem is that they knew what to do but they miss it on the way... And the questions about where is the money and why this (suddenly) happens remain...
As for the Covid issue, I'm already on the 9th day of my quarantine but I can write a post in a day...

Was money used in Binance launchpad?
No. it was converted right away using p2p of Binance, PM me for my bank details if you need it
Your bank?  This was donated bitcoin if I'm reading this whole thing correctly, so what does your bank have to do with any of that?

Has money been used as personal funds?
To be honest, yes. I have used 500$ from the funds back then for the medications of my deceased grandfather, I even asked before I did that on my Filipino Community
An escrow (especially for a charity) is NEVER supposed to use donated funds, not even if your grandfather is dying.  Those funds are supposed to be untouched.  Do none of you understand that?  Apparently you don't, and I don't care about the sob story, because we've all heard that excuse a million times on this forum. 

Also, there's nobody who could possibly give you permission to use donated funds for personal reasons.  Nobody except the donors collectively, and I'm pretty sure that wasn't your Filipino community, which has jack shit to do with any of this.
I would point out that funds donated to charity are intended to be spent, so any "escrow agent" would obviously need to facilitate spending any coin received in order to convert it to fiat in order to eventually donate it to charitable causes. This is unlike an escrow agent facilitating a transaction between two people when the money should not be touched until the parties agree to release the coin to the other party (unless there is some agreement otherwise).

I would expect most donations to be converted to fiat before being put to good causes.


While reading this thread, I did not approve of cabalism13 using $500 for medicine for his grandfather, however upon reviewing the spreadsheet (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1PupnusqpO1FJIWPztyX0SfdGYcCubIbF94e3jldW3Fo/edit#gid=1160771654) that crwth posted, it looks like, in April 2019, some of the money was sent to legendster with a reference (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5124375.msg50479681#msg50479681) that talks about donating to various what looks like "go-fund-me" pages (or more accurately, a fundraiser hosted by a competitor of go fund me) for medical expenses.

I think there should have been some transparency regarding the transaction to help cabalism13's grandfather, as it appeared to be the case for many other times that funds were disbursed.


Another major issue is that the thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5376475.0) announcing the "charity" is very vague as to what the funds would be used for, and as to the level of documentation that would be kept and presented publicly to prove that donations were actually made. I would personally like a very detailed accounting of specific expenses, I think it is difficult to justify demanding receipts months (or longer?) after the fact.


Overall, I think those involved did a poor job running the charity, as it appears there is a lack of confidence in its operation, and expenses have not been well documented. There is also a lack of documentation as to what funds would be spent on, so those involved are not setting expectations for their donors. I would recommend against donating to the "Bitcointalk Charity Program".

cabalism13: "And lastly afaik, that last money was transferred to bank's Binance address and was converted I think about ~350k".
yahoo62272: "350k? I didn't think the balance was that high. Under 2 BTC last I remember".
cabalism13: "It was".
This is very likely a unit of measure of cabalism13's local currency. Based on what others have written in this thread, he is based in the Philippines, so he was likely referring to 350k of Phillippines local currency.

The balance that I received and converted to PHP
https://i.imgur.com/SiyOE4L.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/cRdiabz.jpg
The second pictures adds up to 0.14500002BTC, so I assume it included 0.00050002BTC of your own funds. This turned into 244,846.31PHP.

Quote
For the receipts, I did manage to recover some. The thermal paper in supermarkets always has this tendency to fade right away.
https://i.imgur.com/EPSUTDC.jpg
It's folded too. Can you decipher as much as possible, to clarify what's on there? The total looks like 112,836.50PHP, which makes up a large part of the total amount spend. If that's covered, it's a good start.
For the other 2 receipts: can you specify what it was for?

Quote
You know, I was really trying to help because my intention for this is good and to be tied up and accused of different stuff feels so demotivating.
Even though I think you probably deserve the benefit of the doubt, the fact that there is reason to doubt is on you, for not keeping accurate records.

Quote
I do hope to continue this and possibly with better guidance at the helm to prevent this situation again. Together as a community, we aim to be better and help a lot more people in the future.
I'm curious: what's your opinion (now) on the way cabalism13 and bL4nkcode handled this?

your labor fee
I don't think there should be a "labor fee" for a charity created by a community. If there is, it would make the ones running the charity basically employees, and even though I know that's all business as usual for the large corporations that pose as charities, it doesn't seem right for a community event.

By the way, such images can be easily made up, faked or what's not?
You have provided some receipts, do they really prove anything? I really don't think so.
Receipts can always be faked up to a certain extend, but what other options does he have to prove anything?

I've been sitting on the fence here (very uncomfortable) and honestly can't figure out what crwth is accused of. There were pictures provided of activities that seemed legit. I don't think the original thread promised detailed receipts.
All fair points.

However, it already happened. I don't think it is good to ask for all receipts for purchases months or 2 years ago.
It shouldn't have been necessary for the community to ask for receipts, I would have expected the escrow to collect those.

Quote
I don't expect such transparent things when I donate my money to charity.
I barely donate to charity, and one of the reasons is the lack of transparency (Steve Hughes (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qm6kl17HH9s) has a point).

What does the holiday season have to do with any of this?
I can imagine people have offline obligations during those days.

Quote
there's been ample time for all of them to respond in this thread.
Fair point, cynical me would ask if it was intentional for crwth to post this on Christmas.

Three scrunched up receipts from eleven months ago.  Two are hand written with no contact details and a vague letter "C" as if that's supposed to explain all.
As far as I know, that is quite common for receipts in the Philippines. I find it strange there's not even a business name on the receipts, but even in the Netherlands I've been handed similar receipts in the past.

Quote
@LoyceV - was it really necessary to give this person four merits for a Covid test receipt and three vague hand written receipts (one of which is for *bags*?) from eleven months ago. ?
I think the response of one of the accused users is worth reading. Feel free to continue this discussion here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4826180.0).

they never promised to have detailed reports whatsoever
This was promised:
Updates, Activities, Images will be posted here as soon as we have conducted such activities.
Do you think the posts after the large donations were sufficient?

I still have mixed feelings about it, it's at least very naive not to keep accurate records.
In hindsight, with the ~2 BTC - yes.
~ Let's say you give $100 to someone halfway across the world and the person provided e.g. a picture of a happy crowd with what could be $100 worth of groceries in front of them, is a receipt going to change anything?
Agreed. For $100, that's great! And after the large donations, things should have been improved but the opposite happened: there were less posts about how funds were spent.

Quote
Without being there in person you have no way to verify it so comes down to trusting - or not - that person with the $100. And if you didn't ask for a receipt to begin with, you'd be an asshole to start asking for it a year later.
True, but nobody is asking for the $100 receipt. I don't think anyone doubts the charity was run very well at that time.

Quote
Anyway, with the somewhat spotty evidence provided I have no reason to believe that crwth is at fault here. There seem to be significant amounts gone to the other two guys, so there is probably more work needed to untangle that part.
Agreed.

I am giving crwth my benefit of the doubt.
there are several things that make me think that crwth deserves the benefit of the doubt
I also think crwth deserves the benefit of the doubt.

[\quote]It is actually unusual for someone providing a service for, working for, or performing administrative tasks for charities to not receive payment for said work. 

The executive management of the American Red Cross, for example are paid quite a lot for running the charity.

I don’t think that anyone is claiming that anyone involved has paid themselves a salary out of charity funds.

So, just because this wasn't an entity, some big charity organization, they have the excuse not to track everything that they do. How serious is that, especially when you handle others' money for a cause? Keeping a simple excel and a small box of candies to put all the receipts that you will get, needs an accountant or removes the term "spontaneous" or by being spontaneous you lose the seriousness? Besides, they started by keeping things in (some) order but suddenly, forget to continue it. There is a magical way to forget to do it, at some point?

Was there ever an itemized list with receipts, like we're expecting now? I skimmed through the thread and I didn't see it. There as sporadic reporting of activities. Whether that's enough should be up to people who donated but I think they should have asked about it much sooner if that was a concern.

Here's the rough timeline involving the 1 BTC donations:

  • Charity starts in March 2019.
  • 1 BTC is donated about a year later (May 2020). It would seem that the charity had established a track record by that time and someone sending them 1 BTC is a serious endorsement. The charity had handled a total of ~0.1 BTC by that time.
  • If that's not convincing, the same entity (funds coming from the change address of the prior transaction) sends them 1 BTC again six months later (November 2020). It would seem again that this large donor is happy with the work they're doing.
  • Another year goes by (December 2021) and we're retroactively asking for accounting.

I would be interested in the opinion of the large donor - why they donated, and if they're happy with the outcome. But I guess they're unlikely to come forward.

There is nothing particularly wrong with the community asking questions, it's just that it's starting to sound a bit like digging up a trade of someone selling some trinket a year ago and now asking for a tracking number with signature confirmation. Let's be real, we won't get detailed receipts for every satoshi. Perhaps lowering those expectations and asking cabalism13 et al what is feasible to provide would be more productive, instead of facing them with an impossible task.

Some said that they started with good intentions but they "lost" it on their way. So? Greater initiatives, bigger projects, "lose" it, and along lost the funds that they suppose to keep/ spent for a reason. They are excused because they didn't start with such intentions?

I wouldn't say "excused" but certainly it matters a lot what the expectations of donors are. If donors are like "don't waste your time on detailed accounting" and the charity runs basically on volunteer work, I can understand how the lack of accounting happens. But it wouldn't justify pocketing or losing charity money, if that's what happened here.

You've made some good points, and bring up some good questions.  One thing that occurred to me is that the administrators of the charity were all donating their time and putting in the effort to get things done.  This is usually the way charities start, but at some point compensation for their effort should be considered.  This also speaks to the other points you've made about expectations (or lack there of) placed on the administrators, and how they should be validated.


Just to be clear to those who are opposed to the tags and flags; as I've demonstrated above, they are not permanent.  They do however, serve the purpose of demonstrating that there are concerns about how the donations are being spent.

I'm not opposed to removing my tags and support of the flags for cabalism13 and bl4nkcode assuming they satisfactorily provide data or answers.

theyoungmillionaire  apparently has made some fiat to btc deals with user https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=914465 and https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1179651   on the forum in this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5113147.msg49868494#msg49868494

@crwth, Didn't you know what's going on with the charity fund, escrow contract wasn't in its way & if any corruption on going? Did you know anything? If yes, why didn't you alert the community about it? Don't you think you should share with the community about things that are not going accordingly? It's great that you have provided some documents which are real; to me it's real.
I don't know anything when it comes to decisions of the funds. All I'm focused on is the funds allocated to me and making sure that activities were done.



Okay, let's look at it this way:  (these receipts aren't on the spreadsheet posted just above BTW)
I don't think you have looked at the spreadsheet enough. It's there with a link.

Three scrunched up receipts from eleven months ago.  Two are hand written with no contact details and a vague letter "C" as if that's supposed to explain all.
A lot of businesses here in our country do it like that.

Then receipt 0367 in image three has the wording: This document is not valid for claim of input taxes."

Did it occur to you on reading (the tax disclaimer) that you might run into difficulties later on down the track if there were an audit of your expenditure?
Probably the business is non-VAT or something.



For the other 2 receipts: can you specify what it was for?
The second one is for the bags for the contents of the goods to be in for distribution. 2nd one is the lunch meal that we had before the distribution of the goods in different locations.

I'm curious: what's your opinion (now) on the way cabalism13 and bL4nkcode handled this?
I think it could've been handled better.

Kind of disingenuous to bring that up.  If you were paying attention I had asked that potentially identifying information (and therefore, potentially misidentifying information,) be sent to me in personal message, and not posted in public.  And as crwth indicated, he did indeed share what he could.

Not to mention, continued attempts to link this issue with the two loan scammers isn't really helpful and it's off-topic.  The only similarity is the people's ethnicity/nationality.  Other than that, I haven't seen any connection between these three individuals and the two scammers.

how the approval process went, where the funds from the fund will be spent? For example, everything you paid for, bought and then donated, how does the whole process go?
I guess you need to talk with cabalism, explain to him what is your idea and he approves funds for that? did you have to show him exactly how much it would cost, did you show him the bills for the things you bought, or did you work roughly and trust each other on the word?
I saw marlboroza very clear documented where he spend donated money, why it was a practice only in that case?

Do you think he doesn't know this? I thought everyone was already used to the fact that Timelord2067 was partial to frivolous interpretation of facts.

Especially considering that 4 days before he used a tilde against crwth, but for some reason he did not mention this in the last post. Whatever crwth does, I would say that he is still part of the community with the same rights as the rest ... but apparently Timelord2067 does not think so.  :-\

Timelord2067 distrusted crwth before today. In the latest trust list update from last Saturday it appears like this.

And because today crwth distrusted Timelord2067 he says this is DT Trust abuse. Is that so? Because if so he is a total lunatic.

I don't think this is an issue that has to do with nationality, and I'm not sure Timelord2067 implied anything of the sort.  However, if there's any fact that might cause more suspicion as to the members involved and where they live, it's that bitcoin can buy a lot more in the Philippines than in a lot of other countries.  That's not to say that someone living in a country with a higher cost of living wouldn't be tempted by having access to a large amount of bitcoin, but I mean come on....first of all, it's easy to pilfer when the available amount is large and maybe a small amount goes unaccounted for (initially at least); and second, it's just straight-up more tempting to run off with an amount of money if it has more purchasing power in your country vs. one where it wouldn't.  I think the second part is common sense.

Having said all that, I don't know exactly how much more a bitcoin will buy you in the Philippines compared to the UK, Germany, or wherever.  I'll also reiterate that the members being Filipino in itself has nothing to do with this situation.  The same actions taken by anyone else in any other country would no doubt be under the same scrutiny, because they speak for themselves.  Hell, I didn't even know where Cabalism13, crwth, and bl4nkcode were from until it was mentioned here (or I forgot).

18 months ago I identified a cluster of UID's (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5233790.msg54731741#msg54731741) who had previously engaged in merit swapping and DT trust swapping (even passwords being changed in the same 24 hour period) which elevated asu (https://bpip.org/Profile?p=asu) and theyoungmillionaire (https://bpip.org/Profile?p=theyoungmillionaire) into positions to then scam lots of money.  Lots of naval gazing ensued as people decried they never saw that coming.

The "Elephant" in the room (other than apparently this whole page is off topic) is that two of those - 18 months ago - I identified as a part of that merit/dt backscratching cluster that were in need of watching are cabalism13 and crwth.

cabalism13 still hasn't come back online, neither has bL4nkcode.




I knew nothing of this "charity" until this thread began, however, had I been aware at the time, I would have asked @theymos if they endorse the use of the name BitCoinTalk as a part of the Charities name? 

And, as the charity is representing itself as having the official blessing of the Forum by taking its name, then why were there no checks and balances in place by admin or mods to ensure when the large donations roll in we don't find ourselves in a situation where two of three adminstrators/UID's falling silent while the third offers a covid test and a couple of vague receipts (which aren't listed on the spreadsheet screen shots) as proof only after hard questions start being asked.  (and still won't elaborate on where the other two are)

The real Elephant in the room is why none of you other good people who were aware of its creation asked those tough questions when this "charity" was formed in the name of the Forum.

I'm not accusing you of being bigoted, and I'm sorry if that's the impression you got.  I guess my second comment only made matters worse, but again that was not my intent.  If there's one common complaint against you it's that you see relatively circumstantial pieces of information as proof of some nefarious activities, and come to conclusions based on that circumstantial evidence.  I've known you to perceive a variety of articles as evidence, and creed is not any more prevalent than others.

In this particular situation it appears to me that the primary piece of evidence is that the Merit and Trust circles filter down to a specific nationality.  But that's not enough.  Merit and Trust circles form as a result of regional location, race, ethnicity, nationality, and culture on a regular basis around here.  It's very common around the forum among the Russians, Germans, Italians, Filipinos, and probably more than any other, the Americans.

I also want to add that I do appreciate the effort you've put into finding more about the two loan scammers.  I don't want to come off as ungrateful.  I would love nothing more than to prevent them from scamming again, and see them brought to justice.  However, the attempt to link the three charity admins to those loan scammers is tenuous at best, and unhelpful.  Continuing to discuss it here isn't adding value to this thread.

I do not think any of them is coming up here and giving us any words. If they were to then they would have been done that long ago. The whole thing about this Charity were looking good until the 2nd 1 BTC donation made and bitcoin price were to too high. Once the price of BTC started to picking up both cabalism13 and bl4nkcode got greedy but somehow they involved crwth to give a small amount for whatever the reason they thought.

The splitting between both seems like 50-50 agreements

Quote
There are 7 outgoing txes for cabalism13 and only 1 was documented. The total amount for undocumented txes were: 0.54722358 BTC (I have no idea how much they were in USD).

2 outgoing txes for bL4nkcode and total was: 0.56639445 BTC

I hate to believe that but so far none of them tried to prove our speculation wrong which made me think as well they successfully did a scam. They sent funds to crwth to run the activity as he was involved from the beghinning. If they didn't give it to crwth, crwth would suspect them & raise his voice. Hence, the trick I guess.

We should always be very sceptical and overly scrutinise these sorts of charities as we are with things like new escrows as this stuff can easily happen and once people have money in their sole possession it's easy to get greedy especially when it's potentially a life changing amount. It's always easy to fake your 'charity' work as well. Anyone can fake some receipts or even buy a van full of food and supplies and take a couple of pictures giving a couple of bags to people and then just pocket the rest. You could even just return most of the stuff you bought once you've got some pictures of it etc. Without any sort of checks and balances the money can go anywhere. I remember a few years back there was a trend of fake giveaways/"charity" work on YouTube. Film yourself giving money or goods to some homeless people and then when the cameras are off they were just taking it back and only letting them keep a very small fraction of it.

I would lock this thread but I want to wait til the holidays are over and see if the other 2 pop in and give a reasonable explanation as to the facts and try to clear up any 8ssues users have.

I don't think the thread should be locked until the issue is resolved. I looked over the thread yesterday and the pictures of the 'charity' work that was posted could've probably cost them less than $1000 in total. You could probably fill up a couple of vans full of cheap food, water and basic supplies in the UK or US for that and I imagine that stuff is a fraction of the price in the Philippines. Unfortunately if they can't really provide any evidence of where the money is gone I think greed probably got to them. Does anyone have an idea of how much the money was worth when it was moved from the escrow? I keep seeing figures of 1 and 2 bitcoins and if that was moved at the all time high then it could be a lot of money.

I had intended to make that my last post here, however, with your indulgence, I would like to point out a deep flaw in @Poker Player's Trolling of me here.

But first, this is what I wrote on their Trust Feedback page.  It carries *neutral* weight.  Likewise, I have never dispensed preemptive, nore retaliatory DT Trust against Poker Player.

I wrote:

Poker Player (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2836461)    2021-12-28        I supported PP in their thread examining lightlord's recent behavior. Then, thread that looked at connections (linked by 3rd person) between PP & 2 other UID's. PP has chosen to turn my support of dkbit98 into a personal attack against myself *even though* I made no accusations against PP

As I more than once told marlboroza: "Respect is a two way street"




In this thread [Link (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5373948.0%3Ball)] two users @dkbit98 and @The Pharmacist explore the possibility that Poker Player has an alt - namely naim027

In post 12, I wrote this:

2 Accounts Connected:

minairia3 (https://bpip.org/Profile?id=298644), naim027 (https://bpip.org/Profile?id=1187984),

About 27 hours after applying for a signature campaign, naim027 changed their wallet address from bc1qguayhqyd774w6sg83p7ehexqe3fp3r5ds0a8kv to 3Q24Jvtg2Lr5SyQE4RaCYtNTFxFwY44Sip - naim027 applied to join a full three weeks after minairia3 used that wallet address in a TOTALLY DIFFERENT SIGNATURE CAMPAIGN.

There are literally only twelve posts between naim027's application and when @Hhampuz accepts it (just three hours after naim027 changes their post).  No one in the twelve posts makes mention of the duplicated wallet address.

Look at the whole post in one reduced go - no mention of Poker Player.

That can only mean I do not consider Poker Player connected to either of the two listed in my post.

Therefore, when Poker Player tells you that I consider Poker Player to have alts, Poker Player knows that to be not true.  i.e. a lie.  Poker Player is lying to you and Trolling me.

How naim027 can also be under that same misunderstanding makes you wonder - doesn't it? [link 1 (https://ninjastic.space/post/58575247)][link 2 (https://loyce.club/trust/2021-12-25_Sat_05.09h/1187984.html)]




18 months ago I identified a cluster of UID's (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5233790.msg54731741#msg54731741) who had previously engaged in merit swapping and DT trust swapping (even passwords being changed in the same 24 hour period) which elevated asu (https://bpip.org/Profile?p=asu) and theyoungmillionaire (https://bpip.org/Profile?p=theyoungmillionaire) into positions to then scam lots of money.  Lots of naval gazing ensued as people decried they never saw that coming.

For those of you who did not follow the links in this quote, allow me to quote the relevant section:

This is a working theory.

I am investigating a connection between theyoungmillionaire (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1180530) and finaleshot2016 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=888099) who both changed their passwords within 24 hours as I stated in this post (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5233790.msg54689431#msg54689431) and this follow-up post (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5233790.msg54718278#msg54718278).  jademaxsuy (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1788599) along with crwth (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=914465) have extensively swapped merits with theyoungmillionaire and finaleshot2016 while in @LoyceV's Default Trust List Week 05 (http://loyce.club/trust/2019-02-16_Sat_13.06h/1788599.html) jademaxsuy removed their trust of theyoungmillionaire only to add finaleshot2016 and crwth in Week 06 (http://loyce.club/trust/2019-02-25_Mon_21.39h/1788599.html)

In addition, I have a working theory that theyoungmillionaire has at least four or five alts being jademaxsuy, finaleshot2016, Squishy01, GDragon, Strufmbae, Silent26, crwth and Maus0728 based on their default trust lists activating the same week for most, or a couple of weeks later (with the same list) in the case of the latter couple of UID's.  As at week 76 all or most still trust theyoungmillionaire and each-other.

Since my first post, Maus0728 has removed their trust of theyoungmillionaire but continues to trust all others (the group in what seems to be a DT abuse cluster).

Again, when PP says I consider these users to be alts, Poker Player knows this to be not true.

A lie.

Poker Player is Trolling you with what they know to be a lie about me and what I have said.

How do we know this:

Simple.

This is a working theory.




Timelord2067 distrusted crwth before today. In the latest trust list update from last Saturday it appears like this.

That's correct.  My distrust of crewth is preemptive DT distrust as I and others have preemptively distrusted both cabalism13 and bl4nkcode in the last week.

Quote
And because today crwth distrusted Timelord2067 he says this is DT Trust abuse. Is that so? Because if so he is a total lunatic. I thought it was about the consumption of potent marijuana or hallucinogenic drugs, but now I doubt if it is not because he is not taking medication for schizophrenia or something like that.

Correct. crewth, having been attacked by a preemptive DT negative by me has retaliated against me with distrust.  Why?  Because Poker Player told many lies against me when I asked the hard questions.

13 months ago @LoyceV pulled apart Poker Player's numerous abusive attacks [LINK (https://ninjastic.space/post/58576346)], so this is not a new thing, this deep seated anger inside Poker Player.




@crwth:  Where are cabalism13 and bl4nkcode ??  

They pocketed over half a bitcoin each (https://ninjastic.space/post/58853934) - what did you get?




The three options are:

  • All three are alts.  I discount this scenario due to the fact there had to be collaboration between at least two parties in promoting the "charitable work" being done.
  • There are two users.  I favor this scenario in which two users, for example cabalism13 and crwth are alts are able to persuade the other person (two votes to one) how to spend the funds.
  • There are three users. Two users might be able to persuade a third user for some of the time, however, the third person will at some-point form a differing opinion and voice concerns.  That hasn't happened.






I see @theymos has been online in the last six hours.

I was just curious to see if BestChange (Best_Change) still kept bL4nkcode, cabalism13 and crwth. I thought all three were in BestChange campaign then found out cabalism13 was never there. With crwth there should not be any problem after all these but with bL4nkcode there is an interesting finding.

bL4nkcode Left the campaign (https://i.imgur.com/vHapDki.png)!

Assuming BestChange gave a wrong reason as they kicked him out which is obvious, no one would like someone with red paint for scamming but if bL4nkcode indeed asked to leave then we are pretty confirmed that bL4nkcode is not coming here to defend the case which means he is fine with the accusation against him which should give us a clear indication that he indeed had this intention to scam the fund with cabalism13. The small part which sent to crwth was just to show that the charity was still alive more like a part of the plan.

Some days after this thread was created I PMed Best_Change to let him know about the matter. He would probably have seen it anyway but I thought it was my duty. So he is well aware of what's happened. I'm not sure wether bl4nkcode contacted him to say he was leaving the campaign or what, but yeah, I don't think he's going to come here to defend his case.

It's worth noting that bL4nkcode (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=765632) was last online on December 21, while the Flag and negative feedback started on December 22. That means he hasn't seen it by himself on his own account, unless he used an alt.

Indeed, he could have been notified for using his name and he could have been seeing this thread without logging in, after all. So the last login date can very well mean nothing.

bL4nkcode Left the campaign (https://i.imgur.com/vHapDki.png)!
One of Best_Change campaign rules is that participant will be removed without payment if he gets negative feedback during his stay in their campaign.
It does say he left campaign himself, but it's possible that manager saw negative feedback on his profile and removed him.
I am not sure who exactly is managing Best_Change campaign and counting posts, but they can clarify this for us.

It's worth noting that bL4nkcode (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=765632) was last online on December 21, while the Flag and negative feedback started on December 22. That means he hasn't seen it by himself on his own account, unless he used an alt.
I am sure that he received many notifications from people who mentioned his username, but it's sure not a good sign to see him being away and not logged in for nine days.
The way things are going now, I doubt we are going to see this two back again, and at very least nobody will ever trust them again.

Please accept my apologies for derailing the discussion; I simply want to clarify some things with @Timelord2067.

As far as I know, I have removed TYM and Silent26 on week 77  (https://loyce.club/trust/2020-07-04_Sat_05.03h/1289002.html)and 106 (https://loyce.club/trust/2021-01-23_Sat_04.05h/1289002.html) respectively. The reason being is TYM committed a loan default not only on @DireWolfM14 but also to me[1][2].

Furthermore, I continue to trust crwth and finaleshot to this day since I believe they are 2 different people who are not alts of a notorious scammer in the Philippine Section. Those are also the same people who assisted me when get started in cryptocurrency journey particularly in this forum. Reading the entire thread in which cabalism13 is implicated in the mishandling of charity funds is particularly surprising and is something I did not expect.

Does anyone have an idea of how much the money was worth when it was moved from the escrow?
Without double checking the numbers (I may have missed a transaction), it adds up to 40,948.51 USD based on Blockchair's USD estimate at the time funds were moved from the escrow address.
You are right. I have presented the amount in my spreadsheet (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Z3nZePiflhAuPh6y_f9LxmL1997vdfeYsQo_hUyspT8/edit?usp=sharing) & the total sum is $40,943 at the time of the move.

Again, the amount which has been spent earlier isn't considered as a part of the scam since there were few updates on the thread. If we consider that, this is the total amount in question according to my understanding which has been presented in the post & spreadsheet.
Though cabalism13 said, 0.55 BTC is questionable, from what I can see, a total of 0.56622723 BTC worth $18789 is questionable without any doubt. This is the sum of the amount sent for converting into USDT (supposed to be).
But if I sum the amounts which have no proof, the total is 0.84272723 BTC worth $23,875.96 which in my investigation may not have any proof.

@off-topic responses- Can we have another thread to have that off-topic discussion?

I apologize for not having a response in quite while. As I mentioned on my earlier reply, my place was hit and affected with the super typhoon (https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=super+typhoon+rai+leyte), due to this I've been struggling connecting online with rotational b/out here as the main source of electricity was hit pretty hard in the center part of the country, can't do the spreadsheet and not available to upload images for tx proofs.

As crwth posted all his activities, kindly check my tracks as well, start on january this year,  spreadsheet link https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_8z6U0jrM73gfCczQGNzOtyUUSNL2dus4kvQTpCHdtA/edit#gid=788997071.
The meals/snack might be vague coz I really forget the specifics of the amount as most of these don't have receipts given, I just round off as what I remember the amount is.

Total fund used on all activities, 256, 712 PHP or around 5523.15 USD/T



As for the comparison of number of funds received for the activities, I guess I received the less compared crwth and cabalism considering I only held 1 activity before 2021, and funds were sent for almost the same amount for the 3 of us in january 2021, check my sheet and crwth sheet.



While the way of me handling of charity funds is in questioned, I totally admit that this is my first time handling charity funds and the process may poorly processed and amateurly done but that's the basic way I think it could work for. I mean, they will tell me what activity they were trying to do, where, when, the estimate cost, then that's it, lately I will send the funds as agreed.


Others:
For the alts issue, sorry they/were not.

For the question of me having a loan to cabalism, it was used for a business related as described on the trust page reference, not for personal use.



I hope that cabalism do list his previous tracks as well, as he made an activity recently. Again, I apologize and I admit that this charity/activity was done poorly esp. showing the receipts, transparency, but hear me out, all the donated funds were used to help others and all posted activities are all happened.
The main purpose of those people involved is to help. If you can observe I only do activities when there's a calamity whether a typhoon hits, flash floods, etc. near me. I volunteered coz I feel it is important to help others esp. those who in need.
As this may end as still doubtful, I hope this good deeds will still continue (of helping people) even in little ways.

Thank you! Happy holidays and wishing you all a happy, healthy and prosperous new year!

And, did the funding of the loan come out of the pool of money the "charity" had in its possession ?? (i.e. not your money)

Honestly speaking, I really think that it's the best way to do make more activities, but later on I realized that I was the escrow for a reason. I have to admit that move is a mistake as what an escrow is stand for, and I apologize for that, really. I basically trusted these people involved to do what they should do for the charity cause. As things happened, what I can do is to to ensure the community that the intention of these people involved are good, that all activities happened and funds were used in good will as what the charity's aiming for in which all of them did their part.

Would that be this loan: https://ninjastic.space/post/56796511
Yes. That's it.

I can't answer to that, what I just did is to make a lend request on the lending thread. I did loan with the same purpose before that with different lender, it just that cabalism accepted the lending offer that time.

Unfortunately if they can't really provide any evidence of where the money is gone I think greed probably got to them.
I don't think the lack of being able to prove their expenses is evidence of wrongdoing. They did not agree to prove their expenses and continued operating for years without proving their expenses, but did receive additional donations after their level of documentation was well known.

Someone asking questions is not evidence of guilt.

I'm curious of all the TXIDS that happened during the spit that cabalism mentioned. Also, as escrow, why you agreed vs keeping the funds in escrow?
As a charity, their intention is obviously to spend their donations on charitable causes. The only way to spend donations is to distribute money to those able to spend money on causes the charity wants to help.

Unfortunately, this is the only I recovered as this kind of paper dont fade away easily unlike thermal papers used by grocery stores.

Moving forward, should you wish to continue to operation of this Charity, may I suggest you look into acquiring some online tools to help with documenting transactions?

For example, it would benefit anyone authorized to make purchases to have an app on their smart phone that enables them to take a photo at the time of purchase that is stored in a dedicated filing system-specific to their task.

Examples can be seen in this search engine link:

https://www.bing.com/search?q=app+to+scan+receipts&qs=LT&pq=app+to+scan+&sk=LT3&sc=8-12&cvid=E133A4E759FE4B24976E672F315715F0&FORM=QBLH&sp=4

This is especially effective for use with thermal paper receipts. 

And, there are also effective tools for your smart phone's camera to capture the actual text contained on a surface you are photographing.

https://www.bing.com/search?q=app+to+scan+text+from+image&qs=UT&pq=app+to+scan+text&sc=8-16&cvid=08AEF106B17748D4987D9C03BBD7F6A1&FORM=QBRE&sp=1

If you are an Android Device user, I find APK PURE https://apkpure.com/ to be a very effective tool to search for new apps and upgrade apps already installed (as well as already installed system apps (think Gmail, Youtube, Chrome as examples of system files that may not get updated as often).

Well, I as in other cases, I am always open to change my support to flag. I didn't leave feedback, but I think if I remove support for the flag, I will leave at least neutral if not negative feedback.

This seeing that bl4nkcode is wanting to collaborate in a similar way as crwth did. The problem is that I think he had more responsibility, and he has many previous positive feedbacks for acting as escrow. This has to be compensated, and even he has recognized that an escrow should not act like that:

... but later on I realized that I was the escrow for a reason. I have to admit that move is a mistake as what an escrow is stand for, and I apologize for that, really.

Uh....let's say this case was taken to court because the prosecutor charged them with some violation of a law having to do with misuse of charitable funds.  I'd think the first piece of evidence would be the blockchain transactions and where the trail leads.  If there are gaps the size of the Grand Canyon in the accounting (which there are), you'd better believe that's going to be used against them--and it'll look really bad to the jury, just like it looks bad to the bitcointalk members following this thread.

Are you a disbarred lawyer, by any chance?

I've lost track of the time frame of when all these things were happening.  So you took out a loan from cabalism13 before or after he received the payout from you?  I'm also wondering if it was before or after he allegedly needed that $500 for his father's medicine.

And crwth was loaning out money (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5142115.msg56090442#msg56090442) on Jan. 14th 2021, which was right around the time of those two payouts from bL4nkcode (though I'm not sure who those went to exactly).  And what's cabalism13 doing making loans if he's pilfering charity funds to pay for meds?

After, since the sending of funds were on january.

IIRC that happened on 2020, so that was before.

To be honest, yes. I have used 500$ from the funds back then for the medications of my deceased grandfather

It's good that you managed to post transactions and at least some receipts, that may change some negative feedback you received, but I am afraid that you won't have any reputation left to be an escrow in this forum.
I hope that you fixed the things with your house and that you and your family are good now.

I hope that cabalism do list his previous tracks as well, as he made an activity recently.
So do you still have private conversation with cabalism and do you know what's happening with him? Maybe he was also hit by super typhoon disaster??
He was not online in forum since December 19 and I almost lost hope that he will ever return here.

Am I being very much skeptical? Cabalism13 has used this address to receive the fund- 3CabaLLZeJXhbyatozNEyQRY16F5SFsW2Q, which has been only used 2 times in the forum. 1st- as stake address & 2nd- to sign a message to receive a loan from DarkStar_
He has never used this address to receive the donation fund from bl4nkcode prior to this one; still NP but after receiving the fund at Jan 6, 2021, 12:48 PMUTC, he then sent the fund to 3LjVmpw2wDWawaPGa8Lj5JYjYciXDAePbW (this address was used a couple of times for receiving fund from donation fund) on Jan 6, 2021, 1:13 PM UTC. In less than an hour, cabalism13 sent the fund from his personal address (I mean non-custodial) to his web wallet. Why didn't he receive the fund directly from the address? Quite suspicious or what should I say this. Why cabalism13 had to pay $6 worth of BTC fee ::)
In addition, Binance charges a 0.0005 BTC tx fee for BTC withdrawal. From the tx, cabalism13 has received exactly the amount 0.1225 BTC which is shown in the screenshot. Did bl4nkcode bear the fee?

Without double checking the numbers (I may have missed a transaction), it adds up to 40,9048.51 USD based on Blockchair's USD estimate at the time funds were moved from the escrow address.

Thanks. I think $40k is approximately the number we should be looking to be accounted for then, though it could be more or less depending on what he actually did with it once it was moved. It could have sat on exchanges for a while or been traded or loaned out etc. The pictures of the things that have been posted probably wouldn't amount to more than a couple of thousand USD I would think. Even then, we can't be certain the money was spent on those goods either. He or others could be working for other businesses or charities that are involved in such action and these guys could just be taking credit for it.

I think if he did spend a decent chunk of money on charitable actions then he probably should be able to provide a lot more evidence other than a few pictures as there should be a good paper trail. I'm guessing he didn't pay for everything in cash so there should be some bank statements that he could show to prove that at least some money was spent on what he said it was. He did offer to share his bank statements with someone so maybe someone should look into that. Does anyone know how much he earns? I saw in his last post that he claimed he spent half a million on his wedding. If he's being serious and that's in his native currency isn't that nearly 10k USD? That would probably be a very elaborate wedding by Philippine standards.

Unfortunately if they can't really provide any evidence of where the money is gone I think greed probably got to them.

Where have the funds gone?
'I don't know' or 'we spent them'.
Can you show proof of this.
Not really.

That doesn't look good does it? Of course not being able to provide 100% proof for 100% of the funds means they misspent all the money on themselves but if they can't show reasonable proof where all this money went we should ask why that is. When you cash out the money they will have sent it to their bank account and if they gave that money to the charity then there should be a very good paper trail there. Of course, if they've spent it on living a life of luxury for themselves then it would be a lot harder to account for. Without any sort of proof or accountability we really can't just take their word for it. I would assume of anybody that if they couldn't provide reasonable proof of where the money went then there has been at least some misappropriation. cabalism13, in his last post, seems to have gone on the defensive and used the criticism as an excuse to just leave rather than try rectify the situation. Why would that be? It would be much better for everyone if he actually tried to show proof of where all this money has gone but if he knows he can't then what else is he to do other than just bounce and run away from the situation?

According to the first site I found (http://www.lovevisalife.com/2018/03/average-philippine-wedding-cost/), over $8k is average in the Philippines. I don't expect the newlyweds to pay it all though: "Traditionally the groom’s family pays for the wedding and the grandparents act as the primary witnesses or sponsors" (https://www.beau-coup.com/filipino-wedding-traditions.htm).

The audience that site appears to target is Americans thinking about traveling to the Philippines for their wedding.  That figure includes costs for airfare and lodging (apparently only for one person, though,) which are costs the locals will not incur.

It still seems outlandish for weddings to cost so much.  The average income in the Philippines is under $4k USD per year.  I know there're cultural differences, but it seems like in the Philippines it's an industry rife with vultures.

I don't expect the newlyweds to pay it all though: "Traditionally the groom’s family pays for the wedding and the grandparents act as the primary witnesses or sponsors" (https://www.beau-coup.com/filipino-wedding-traditions.htm).

Would that be the case if the grandson had two or three times the average annual income worth of bitcoin in his possession?

I didn't check all the transactions myself, does that include 2 BTC of donations received? Anyway, that's a lot of money. It seems as if things started to get messy after the first major donation of 1 BTC. Or am I missing something?

Check out youtube video from several years ago with Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera's Grand royal wedding from Philippines (they sure paid much more).
I don't know how much they paid for this weeding and it's fine for royal grandparents to pay, but I don't think that poor old grandpa from Philippines have anywhere nearly 8k for any wedding ceremonies.
Average Monthly Salary there is only around $300, so they must save all their lives, and sell a land or house, just to pay for one wedding.
It's much easier if you have some Bitcoin... just saying.  ;)

I wanted to write a lot of swear words but it doesn't really matter. Take money for charity and do with it whatever you think is right. Don't keep records. Make shitty excuses. Tell people you are very busy coz you have a million Telegram groups to mod and scam more people in there by pumping shitcoin projects for them without even verifying the team's backgrounds.

The method is very simple. Build up a reputation here. Get into managing communities locally. Then do questionable things and blame it on others for not understanding, coz you are BUSY. Gotta love that false sense of entitlement.

This unprofessionalism is the reason a lot of things have gone to shit despite being promising.

One of these days, I will solve this funny charity business. There is a lot of people who would love to donate Bitcoin to actually make a difference but there is just too much scope for mistakes/ scams in the name of charity. This is a problem that needs solving.

To be fair, this charity these members were running was amateur hour at best and not representative of bigger, professionally managed ones--but that's not to say that those other charities don't have their problems with money management and/or fraud, because quite a number of them have.

The method is very simple. Build up a reputation here. Get into managing communities locally. Then do questionable things and blame it on others for not understanding, coz you are BUSY. Gotta love that false sense of entitlement.
Honestly, I don't think this was planned as a scam from the beginning at all, and if I understand correctly they did distribute some funds/goods to needy people.  That leads me to believe that somewhere along the line having all of that bitcoin in their hands just became too much of a temptation.  The pilfering probably started small and escalated (that's an assumption based on how embezzlement cases usually progress), and by the time it got out of hand they stopped communicating anything about the charity in hopes nobody would notice.
