I am not sure why you are asking for a loan when you have negative trust. It is obviously a bad idea to lend you BTC without collateral as your reputation is worth zero

lol thanks. If I believed it anytime someone told me they were going to hand carve something then I would have left a few of these unfunded.

According to this reddit, it doesn't appear to be from a leaked coinbase email DB, because one person is claiming to have received it to an email not associated with their coinbase account, but one that is associated with their LBC and purse.io accounts.

you had posted the trust page of someone who got a neutral from me for a PM loan request. The address that person asked me to send to is the same address you are asking the loan to go to.

how do you search trust profiles like that? Google doesn't pick them up and I dont think the forum search does either.

Why are so many people selling Starbucks gift cards purchased with stolen credit cards recently? 🐶

It seems like someone new starts selling everyday.

Anyway anyone buying from this person is likely to have their cards go bad very quickly.

I think it would probably be wise to wait until he at least officially scams you to sell the account. If you don't wait then you will not only take the loss on the sale of the account but if he pays you back then you would need to figure out a way to get him his collateral back.

Did he even technically default yet? I thought the loan was due 48 hours from when you gave the loan and you only opened the thread asking for help recovering the account barely 24 hours ago.

For refrence: the address the loan was sent to was 174GNcV3CPwMt2TVsCqypfXfqmCG8MnkaG

did they ever actually ever close their campaign? Looking through the change log the last mention of them is from January when they were "updated". I am fairly certain that they just created a new thread (with different rules?). I understand that if a campaign were to have closed, then the company potentially chsnged ownership it is possible that the new owners could run away with free advertising but I don't think that would really apply if only a new thread was made.

By the new thread logic, bitstars should always be in PNYC.

the account is a member (almost full member) account and member accounts barely fetch more then .04 with neutral trust and there is barely a market for negative trust accounts and they are very hard to move. He would need to put a lot of effort into the account to get anything out of it at all.

Well you shouldn't accept accounts that are engaged in those kinds of business as even if he didn't scam, there is a chance the account would get negative feedback if they run into problems or start to have very poor communication.

This thread was opened roughly 12 hours prior to the thread saying they scammed, and the scam accusacation said they scammed the same day, so it is probable that he scammed after it was public that he stole the account back.

There are a small number of accounts that can be used in signature campaigns however generally only the very low paying ones accept negative trust and even then the campaign pays a reduced rate for negative trust. IMO it is really not worth it because you would be earning so little and probably not more then the value of your time.  

He pulled an exit scam. There is a claim that he scammed $500 from one of his customers. The loan was most likely him trying to get an incremental amount from a victim, the additional.02 btc is just trying to get more. I would personally give the account back as it is probably not going to be worth the .04 that you will have paid for it.

I would take this as a learning opportunity for how to properly protect yourself.

I have received what I am looking for. Thanks to everyone who responded. Locking thread.

bitmixer used to have no posting requirements however they only paid at most .01 per week and you had to be a hero to get that, seniors only got .0052 with 252 activity.

I have received reports that marco was sending PMs as described in the OP to a few people in the default trust network. While it is possible that he is referring to carra23, it is also probable that he is trying to cover his ass ahead of time as he was recently banned for sending unsolicited PMs.

I think it is highly ironic that the OP has backed out of his own auction after posting the above negative trust back in 2013

I am no attorney, however I don't think a legal notice can say "I" without first identifying who "I" is, and your supposed "notice" did not do this lol.

Now it appears that smoothie had made an offer to buy one of your coins for .13 BTC. I think it is pretty clear that you accepted his offer when you said you would sell to both smoothie and the person who bid immediately prior to him. I don't see anything about having the option to back out of the deal anywhere in the thread, including up to now, so by default  there was the intention to create legal consequences. There was consideration a smoothie offered to buy your coin in consideration for .13 btc.

Can mr non-practicing attorney tell me what that means?

There is a reason why auction posts are not able to be edited/deleted. The majority of the time it is because the buyer backs out, but the seller backing out is just as bad. When you bid on something you need to put money aside to pay for it, and may end up having to pass up on another deal because you need to be sure you have enough money to pay for your bid.
