I am a fully verified EgoPay client and also a fully verified client of the bitcoin exchange which they own, Virtex.com

I have been unable to withdraw any funds from either of these two companies, and I consider them to be scams. If they pay me back what they have stolen then I will of course post information about that here, but until now I am forced to warn everyone about NOT doing any sort of business with EgoPay, Virtex, Tadas Kasputis (owner) or Mantas Gustys (CEO).

My losses have been substantial, in relation to my net worth.
Feel free to contact me for more information (or ask here), if required.

MILLIONS STOLEN: INSIDE THE ELABORATE BITCOIN SCAMS OF TADAS KASPUTIS, EGOPAY, VIRTEX.COM & PAYMENTBASE

Quote from the article:
"The tale of Tadas Kasputis and his related Bitcoin companies is far more complicated, spans multiple countries, and may quite possibly be the most elaborate Bitcoin scam in the history of Cryptocurrency."

It also lists the collaborators of what the article says is his "scam empire": Paulius Meskauskas, Tomas Andzelis, Mantas Gustys and Erik Schryvers.

Finally it urges involvement by Consumer Affairs, the police, and potentially the FBI.

Never again will I trust Tadas Kasputis, Paulius Meskauskas, Mantas Gustys and Tomas Andzelis.
The sites are down, both egopay.com and virtex.com, and I lost a lot.

They have been reported to the FBI by another user and we are compiling more evidence now, since they have not yet contacted us and expressed any willingness to pay us back what they stole.
