I'm not yet certain it was the founders, though I agree there is something suspicious going on.

I must imagine that insuring this kind of business would be prohibitively expensive if even possible (I truly do not know). So that makes Alitin's options: 1. Disappear 2. Repay immediately 3. Hope the perps are found and funds retrieved.  1. destroys their professional reputations in the cryptosphere and beyond.  2. If BTC price continues to rise, this is the smartest, cheapest option.  3. Funds retrieved is just so very highly unlikely and may leave them personally on the hook for the sum anyways.  They may be scamming us all or they may be taking the best option they have at the moment, though some more transparency would certainly help.

I'm still fairly certain that BTCINVESTOR is involved in all this somehow if not a Forsyth himself. His account post history, and statements made are eerily similar to private comms I've had with people at Alitin.  

At the very least, Alitin did not do their due diligence in having coins produced.  On the edge of a coin you can read "2013 Medallic Art Company".  This company was purchased years earlier by Northwest Territorial Mint. By the time Alitin had made the request to have these coins pressed there was already a slew of fraud and felony allegations and later convictions against Northwest Territorial Mint, some of which involved security issues.  For a physical BTC that was to be "the new standard" wouldn't you at least vet the process/company used to mint your coins? This took all of 5 minutes and some googling.   I'm not certain it was a Forsyth directly, but they have certainly directly profited from this whole thing. Fairly disgusting.

I have managed to get hold of 2 pictures of a coin that a friend owned. Thanks to hybridsole for these pics, they were taken by him. This coin was redeemed by him after the news broke, he was urged to just break the slab and get the 2 BTC. Its a chunk of money, and worth saving - though it does appear now that just one batch was targeted.

Look carefully and you will see that the engraving for the private key, and for the "2013 NWTM .999 SILVER" are in a completely different style, and therefore a different engraving machine was used for each - the key, and the NWTM Mint Mark.



Don't know how much extra helps this gives people, but every bit of extra info does I guess.

My opinion: NWTM didn't engrave these private keys. Just their NWTM Mint Stamp along with the 0.999 SILVER.

I'm still highly suspicious. I think the founders emptied the coins. The fact that they paid everyone back before the investigation is definitely suspicious. If I were the founders I would wait to pay anyone back until we try to recover some of the coins or find out who did it. Would be easy to empty 100 coins, pay back 20 people and walk away with 160btc

You echo my thoughts exactly.

Being left with a raided (but intact) coin that was a favourite out of all my coins sucks. Majorly.

Nice to have a face value refund, but what about the other chunky premium I paid on top back in '14?

Besides all of that, the only people being paid back as those who have noticed the disappearance of their funds. What about those not on the forum and may not notice for months/years?? Are they screwed? It would seem that way.

To quote you, zanzibar:

Would be easy to empty 100 coins, pay back 20 people and walk away with 160btc.

Hate to say it, but the sheer lack of transparency is disturbing.



If you have nothing to hide, Alitin/Richard Forsythe, publish the list please so the total number of coins affected is visible for EVERYONE.

Edit: Thank you Ticked. That is certainly news worth knowing. Appreciate that.

.001BTC buddy

deal!!!! will it make it through customs? Smiley

thanks!

Sure it will. Just coat it in some radioactive preserving agent and you're good to go.

(You gotta get it whilst its' still ripe, no point paying for what will ultimately be a rotten brown banana)
1004  Economy / Collectibles / Re: Alitin Mint Coin Breach on: March 18, 2017, 11:49:17 AM

Which product are you referring to, if you don't mind? The Joan of Arc Coin, or is there something else that none of us are aware of..?

yes joan of arc

Thanks for clarifying Smiley

its not all 8 lol but its still pretty sick to get 3 with one ticket congrats

 I took 4 can't believe it!

Sorry nathansenn for the initial off topic - but please remove the Ascendancy sig from your signature space. This is a well known scam now and promoting it isn't cool. (I'll send you a PM as well to this effect, in case you miss this).

Fair market price for a Lab is around $140 - so around 0.125 BTC is a "fair market price". Now they are sold out, make that ~0.15 BTC each.

Apologies for the derail, and well done on the epic win.

1006  Economy / Collectibles / Re: [Maybe WTS] 2013 Casascius Silver/Gilt MS-70 on: March 17, 2017, 05:30:52 PM
Any idea on how much it would be worth?


To the right buyer, potentially 30 BTC or more. May sound absurd to some but that 0.5 S2 @ MS70 is worth a ridiculous sum of money.
1007  Economy / Collectibles / Re: Alitin Mint Coin Breach on: March 17, 2017, 05:22:01 PM
They have done their bests to refunds the one that where ripped. and OP was kind by email.

(I don't even have the impacted serie, but another product they made after.)

~snip~


Which product are you referring to, if you don't mind? The Joan of Arc Coin, or is there something else that none of us are aware of..?

IMO, a public address list for a coin release should be PUBLIC and posted somewhere for users to verify. 


I have a feeling we will never see this list of 600 addresses. Enough requests have been made now.
1008  Economy / Collectibles / Re: [Maybe WTS] 2013 Casascius Silver/Gilt MS-70 on: March 17, 2017, 04:43:36 PM
The only MS-70 I have is a 0.1 silver. Imagine a whole set of Casascius in MS-70.  Shocked

Will we ever see that? Or does anyone know of anyone who may have a set?

15BTC and one can be yours bud...

Please elaborate, do you have a set for sale?

Can get you in touch with someone local to me who does have an MS70 Casascius Silver Set which he would likely sell for the right price. If you want more details, shoot me a PM and I will get you both in touch with each other Smiley
1009  Economy / Collectibles / Re: Alitin Mint Coin Breach on: March 16, 2017, 07:35:52 PM
Is there any progress on who is responsible?

I have failed to get any more information than is already posted on this forum.

I want this list of 600 addresses published. I (and others) want to know exactly how many coins were affected. The fact that they are not doing this makes me believe there are more than ~60 coins/10% affected.
1010  Economy / Collectibles / Re: [RAFFLE] Bitcoin Penny Special edition "SN" Roll + T-shirt. on: March 16, 2017, 01:43:03 PM
What size is the shirt? Sent you a PM, would love a 2016 SN roll to match my 2016 SN Wall Art I just acquired!

Unknow size of shirt I don't want open for preserving ... I have replied at your PM. Thanks.

I believe that tee is a size Medium. (Please feel free to confirm. I don't think it'll hurt anything to peek inside the plastic bag, but that's up to you.)

Regards,
Chris

I can confirm that this is a size Medium, as I was the original owner of this and specifically asked for an M.

Hope that helps.
1011  Other / Archival / Re: [WTS] 1 Full Set of ANACS Graded MS68 Cryptonic Monero 2016 coins * LIMITED * on: March 16, 2017, 12:22:17 AM
Absolutely awesome bundle here owlcatz. I am slowly getting into Cryptonics coins (as you know Grin ) and think the price of 0.85 BTC for a complete graded set is more than reasonable. Even though these hold no digital value, some are extremely rare, and even the "common" ones are hard to come by.

I expect this to sell shortly. If I didn't already have 1 of the rare ones (1 of 14) and another in the pipeline, then I would personally be purchasing this without a second thought.

To any Monero fan, this set is something you won't often get the opportunity to own, I wouldn't hesitate if this interests you.

Cheers Smiley
1012  Economy / Reputation / Re: Requesting proof of trade between Zepher and TMAN[Zepher engaging in fake trades on: March 13, 2017, 01:43:37 PM

I don't know who finally edited my name out of that post, but thank you. Seattle420, if it was you, then let me know by PM and I will remove the negative rating I left you.

Bare in mind that I will check that it was actually you who did it by checking with the mods of this section, so don't attempt to lie to me.
I PM'ed you this many weeks ago, but received no response, and I still have this horrible warning on my account just because I wanted to buy a BTCC coin.

Can we see this PM please? Because you most certainly didn't PM and ask me to remove the tag because you had edited out my name. You didn't do it, so I don't see why I should remove the tag.


To recap:
*Zepher is engaging in tax fraud.
*Zepher lied about ceasing to reship coins to the USA when he was called about his tax fraud
*Zepher used coercion to get people to remove information he does not want posted
*Zepher lied about removing the mark on my account if I edited his name from my post
*Zepher says that he is not employed by BTCC, but someone else says he was offered employment by BTCC doing the same that Zepher was is doing, only to have his employment offer taken away after he told Zepher about this offer

It looks like Zepher is dishonest and a liar who I would not think is a good idea to trust. I think he has been trying to get as much reputation as possible very quickly.

Anyhow I guess I won't be spending my money here, so see you guys later.

I am not going to answer all your bullshit, and I am not going to repeat what I have already posted regarding the shipping of coins internationally.

Are you just dumb, or do you have selective memory?
I have not done any USA reships since posting that thread. Please note that selling my own coins is not reshipping. Get that clear, okay? Idiot.

Yes, I was offered employment by BTCC, and I personally declined the offer. Feel free to contact them and ask if this is the case, these words serve as my permission for them to answer - if they'll give you the time of day that is. Interesting that you obtained that information though, I only told a couple of people. Thanks for letting me know.

You are doing your best to drag my name through the mud here, and all you are doing is making yourself look more delusional than you usually do. Seriously, get a life.


I know a long term con artist when I see one....

I am known in real life by a couple of upstanding, reputable forum members. I have been entrusted with hundreds of thousands of dollars of others' money, and have never let anyone down. If you hadn't noticed, I have actually pretty much stopped trading on this forum due to assholes like you, who take the fun out of everything. I have better things to do with my time.

Now, I suggest you find something to do that you are good at, like account farming and self escrowing.

And please post from your main account next time. Thanks

Edit:

but someone else says he was offered employment by BTCC doing the same that Zepher was is doing, only to have his employment offer taken away after he told Zepher about this offer

Now I have read that a couple of times, I realise that I had read it wrong to begin with.

Lol, really?? I know of no one else who was offered employment by BTCC. I was, and I declined as I have already stated.

Interesting info though....

In this thread, you offered your escrow services in the following way:



This was another example of you offering your services in an unsolicited manner (you have done this several times now, but let's forget that for the moment).

What you did is seen as the equivalent of buying trust, which is heavily frowned upon.

I am not going to repeat everything I said in the PM's I sent you explaining the situation, but you need to go about building your reputation in a different way. Offering unsolicited escrow in multiple threads is not the way to go about things. Trust is earned slowly on this forum, and it literally is that simple that no one (especially in the Collectibles section) will use you for escrow for trades worth thousands of dollars when you have no reputation.

As hilariousandco has stated, what you did is usually worthy of an instant neg rating, however, as I have said in the 2 PM's I have sent you, I have not seen any malicious intent from you - so I left you a neutral instead.

I cannot speak for Lutpin, but I am assuming he left a neutral, and not a negative, for similar reasons. I also told you that I would remove that tag in 30 days as long as you don't do this again.

You are trying to do things the wrong way round here. Start small, and engage in trades with people. Rep is built slowly here.

Good luck.

edit: grammar
1014  Economy / Goods / Re: Will buy anything for you off amazon for a few $$$ off. on: March 10, 2017, 12:29:48 AM
I'm willing to offer free escrow in exchange for positive trust ratings equal to the size of each transaction. Just PM me.

There is an unwritten rule on this forum - Do NOT ask for trust.

I am sure your intentions are good, but you have zero rep here, and are sticking your escrow offers into multiple threads now (that I have noticed anyway).

There are a lot of escrows already on the forum that people will likely use before using you, due to the fact that you don't have any reputation here.

Now don't get me wrong, I am not saying that you shouldn't offer your services, but you are making this a bit blatant now.
Start small, open a thread stating you would like to start escrowing - but you need to stop with the unsolicited offers of escrow in others' threads.

Don't ask for positive trust ratings again. It is likely to result in you getting a red tag instead.

Thanks
1016  Economy / Collectibles / Re: [WTS] Titan 1 BTC Silver - Loaded - Serial 1000/1000 on: March 09, 2017, 05:02:48 PM
BTCump!!

Some interest by PM but no deal made yet, so this is still available. I don't really need to sell this, but I have a couple of these coins which match the serial numbers I seek out for my personal collection, so am happy to let this go to another collector.

Grab this rare serial number while you have the chance, don't expect it to last long now I have listed a price, which considering the serial number, is very reasonable.

Edit: Decided to add a huge deal here. Further details below.



For N/A, you will get:

Titan 1 BTC Silver 1000/1000 with Gift Box - Private Key Version.
A Bitcoin Suisse Fully Loaded 100mBTC Wallet <- these are pretty rare to come across, and is fully loaded with 0.1 BTC.
A Full Roll of Satori Chips (25 in a roll) - all are loaded with 0.001 BTC.
2 x BTCC "Rooster" Packs that both contain 2 x 5k bits chips.
A BTCC "Make Bitcoin Great Again" Hat.
2 x Packs of BTCC Playing Cards - Black & Red.
A BTCC Pen in Perspex Container.
1 x Bronze Squall Coin in Bronze - serial number #S10026 - Loaded with 1 SQL.
1 x Silver Squall Coin in Silver - serial number #S10070 - Loaded with 1 SQL.

Now that's quite a deal Cool

Woah, I though something "fucked up" will happen with that site, the complaints started a bit ago. Did you ever even got the files? or they wanted to install it on their server because so no one can have the files?


The files are on their server in Germany.
Anyway there is not script (like php, mysql, etc), they say it use Java ... sockets .. too complicated.

Would appreciate an answer to my questions as well..

Thanks
1018  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Bitbox (gambling platform - www.bitbox.site) - SCAM - many users scammed on: March 08, 2017, 06:55:30 PM
How is it possible that so many (of the 28) users have a negative balance? (I have never run a gambling site, so excuse my ignorance here). Is this a test site, or an actual "casino"? Judging from the fact there is a Bitcoin wallet with API keys, I will for the time being assume this is a "real" site.

I used "demo" & "demo" to login and have a look around.

By the way, sorry for your loss. I will give bitcoinplay_xyz a tag until this is resolved.

Any other reports for sales of this coin on the forum/other mediums?  Just wondering how you arrived at the 1.6BTC price.   Smiley

I recently purchased this exact coin (was a raffle prize) through Denarium, and IIRC the total cost was somewhere around 1.2 BTC for one. This is overpriced IMO.
This is bought by auction and serial number is what matters.

Fair enough. I do not know that much about Denarium, they do not form a big part of my collection. I see that yours does have a very low number.

Good luck with your sale Smiley
