At the flat earth conference recently in Edmonton, the organizers could not answer one question.



After showing this slide, they were asked why the sun appears to drop below the horizon each night instead of simply getting dimmer as it moves away.  You always have a direct line of sight.

General Consensus of the conference was that no one really believes it, and the organizers were just doing it for the money.

Not to mention, the internal exchange at bitconnect.co still functions

what about logo contest top 5 which will receive 50$?

It’s getting ugly out here man.  People getting hurt.  It’s unusual for Romania.

I have a bad feeling it’s gonna keep escalating.  Really hard times coming all over the world.  Blood and war! 

Hi Bruno, buddy

Hope all is going well with the new coin.

Now as you are full aware I lost some coins in a few of these type of investments.
I just do not seem to get the answers or security I am looking for.

Any suggestions.

Bruno,
I participated in the Logo, token contests and I think you made the right choice for the winner.  His designs were very well done and right to the point.  Of course, I liked mine. I appreciate the very big increase in bonus to all of us who submitted and was wondering......I'll definitely take the YTC, but, would you consider giving me a PAC package in lieu of the cash.  I like your idea and would like to continue to participate.  Let me know.  Send me a PM when you can.

Hello,
Here are my versions  

a few more coins, different look

Shit I'm not too late for the Pre-sale bonus.

Hold my nano ledger boys, I'm going all in on this one.

MOON OR BUST

This is a scam report against CryptoXchange, who has stolen $100,000 USD+ from me and refuses to return it. He told me he had sent the money to me months ago, but that was a lie. To this day I have not received it. Worse yet, he refuses to refund me the BTC I paid to him and refuses to reply on his chats. I am treating this like a legal case and though it is not my responsibility I have taken on the burden of proof in this case against Crypto. I have detailed, highlighted and explained logs ranging from January this year to June of this year in which you will read about how he's scammed and run off with my money. I am asking for a commercial settlement with Crypto, but until then I will continue to make sure everyone knows of the scam he is capable of. His partner in crim currently is Mahin. I hope you all read my story and empathize with it. I would hate to see this happen to another member. This is my story:

1: I was told on January 12, 2012 that I would get the money the next day

2: I was told to message him once I received the transfer. I was then told Ken wanted to say "Hi"

3: I was even offered a business oppurtunity

4: On the 13th I was told had received partial payment. $1746.86 and 3096.03

5: Shortly after the excuses started "he was sick" "volume had increased"

6: I was then told that payments would be sent daily to me I had received nothing and was given yet another excuse "MLK day"

7: This time he tried to cipher more money from me, asking if I was ready to do more trades before he had even paid for the last one! He then inquired about my job and told me that Mahin wanted to talk some more.

8:  He told me Mahin loved my site and wanted to discuss it with me. I admit, there are a few red flags I should have seen. For one: He told me he dealt with my transactions manually, yet he kept saying that his "banking guys" would deal with this and that. Secondly: He kept asking for me to "trust him" that he had "reputation to keep". I should have seen the red flags...

9: He tell me that "unlike other exchangers he treats his clients right"  and that "there was no risk with them" He then asks for more BTC to which I stupidly obliged. I sent him 2k, he tells me he is processing payments with his infamous "Banking guys"

10: More excuses he tells me he has sent the payment, but I have not received. I ask for proof to which he says he will "consult" with the "banking guys". He then enquires once more about my website and asks to link it.

11: Nothing significant here, just the same old red flags. His interest in my website and excuses and empty promises. Include for burden of proof.

12: I was told $18.3k had been sent was introduced to a new excuse "his banker was away so there was a build-up" I told him no wire came through and asked what had happened.

13: More excuses. I was told that I was their "#1 priority" He told me he had chatted with his "boss" on my behalf. I asked him if there was proof of payment such as a receipt. He side steps the question. I think that he may possibly have wired to the wrong ban so I ask where it was sent. He gives me my bank info and it's 100% correct. So there is really no excuse.

14: Five days, no money and no him.

15: I am informed that his company had an issue with fraud, someone used stolen New Zealend bank accounts to buy BTCs and Crypto Coupons from him. I suppose this is where trouble started. He lost a lot of money and BTC from that I suppose. So no he was more adament against releasing my funds. He told me he had already sent them though. Lies. He also wanted to know where I got my coins. Red Flag.

16: He wanted to know where I got my coins. He wanted me to sell him coins for cheap... An exchanger wants this? Really. RED FLAG. How stupid I was to ignore it.

17: They had been stalling for weeks, I kept receiving more excuses. That it had been sent but they didn't know what was going on.

18: In the meanwhile they were off having weddings, while I awaited my payment. A new excuse was also presented. They were waiting on Mt. Gox to "lift their limits".

19+20: No news on my wires more than a month later. Just more excuses, this time he presented me with a 10k Mt.Gox code. Then he stops replying, ten days later on the 29th he is finally back. I am once again told my wires have ben sent. The "banking guys have put a trace on them.


21: He tells me about how Mt. Gox is fucking them over and being anti-competitive he then tells me that the wires will be sent and that they would never "fuck me" over.

22 + 23: More excuses


24: Included for burden of proof.

25+26: Offers to help me with my friend's Mt. Gox account. Empty promises.


27: Burden of proof. More excuses.

28: Several months since I sent the coins and I have still received nothing on the initial $100,000 transaction. The second one I did for 2 $25,000 is the one he is saying was with stolen BTC.

29: This is where things get interesting looking back. He says the last batch of coins I sold him, that he hasn't even paid for yet are stolen. He then tells me to chase down the Mf**** because he is unable to sell the coins on Mt. Gox. My question is, at this point, "Why not return the coins?". If he is unable to sell them why didn't he return them to me so I could attempt to get a proper refund. Regardless he owes me money from the legitimate $100,000 worth of BTC I sold.

30: READ THE TOP: "Mahin and I know you're legitimate" It seems as though everything he warned that Mt. Gox would do to me, he did to me. Kept my coins and my money.

31: You can see here he's had no issues selling the coins he hasn't paid me for.

32: He linked me to this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=67091.0

33+34: Included for burden of proof.


35: It's now he starts asking for natarised docs, this was not required before and I never agreed to this new term. Additionally, the transaction took place prior to this "update" of TOC so I was not bound to it.

36: He then tells me that my ID and Bank Account don't match. More lies.

37: At this point, I recognize I've been scammed 3 months with no money and no coins. The gut feeling is there, finalized. He refuses to return my coins and refuses to issue my money. What right do they have to do that?

38: He keeps saying he'll talk to "Mahin". Excuses, excuses.

39: Never saw the "proof" and he never sent back the coins or the money. They also blocked my account.

40: At this point I'm just sick and tired. Even if they do unblock my account, it will just take them another 2 months to send my money? I wanted to terminate business right there and leave with what was rightfully mine.

41: My documents need to be verified? They were, in January when we first started doing business all my info was verified.

42: He then brushes me to the side and tells me to contact legal, who by the way has been contacted several times by my lawyer to no avail.

43+44: I ask if my money will be sent when I send in notarised copies and he says he needs them posted as well. I'm thinking at this point, that they've stolen my money and at this point I just want to be told directly. It's been months since they received the coins. I even offer to pay him 10% of the money he owes me to just send the thing! No avail.


45: No e-mails from "legal" as promised. No replies from him or the company. Weeks go by. Still nothing no more replies. Which brings me here.

Bitconnect Scam Nets $3 Billion in India !


The Shailesh Bhatt saga from India’s merchant-dominant state of Gujarat hit new highs last week after the elaborate network of politicians, kidnappers, law enforcement officers, and local authorities unraveled loan sharks.  In all, Bhatt’s bitcoin scam is estimated at a mammoth $3 billion, all in BTC.

Ruling Party Connections
Months before the Indian ruling party elections go into full swing, Prime Minister Narendra Modi faces an embarrassing situation of sorts after prominent politicians and high-ranking police officers from Modi’s home state were found facilitating the cryptocurrency scam.

CCN has been closely following developments since Bhatt was first reprimanded in February 2018, which saw the prime accused confess to local police about kidnapping investors in connection with a Bitconnect investment scheme.

At the time, Bhatt alleged continual harassment from police authorities who kidnapper the builder and demanded 200 BTC, or $1.8 million, for his safe release. The builder duly paid this amount.

However, Bhatt found himself on the other side of the law after authorities discovered several inconsistencies in his incident account, leading officers to believe they had stumbled upon a scam spanning over continents and involving a few hundred million.

Subsequently, arrests were made after Bhatt helped police identify the guilty and unfortunately, they even included Nalin Kotadiya, a member of Modi’s lawmaking department, in the list of accused.

Networks all Around the World
Bhatt and Kotadiya remain absconding; it is believed that the two parties are at fierce loggerheads with each other, as evidenced by their continual blame game at each other.

While Bhatt made appearances at local police stations to provide his account, Kotadiya posted a video on YouTube in April 2018, naming Bhatt as the prime purveyor of the scam while maintaining his innocence.

In the video, Kotadiya threatens to release damning evidence against Bhatt and several others, including politicians.

While centered in Surat, Gujarat’s diamond-centric industrial city, the scam extends as far as Texas, U.S., and reportedly even involves local celebrities.

Bitconnect Used to Scam Investors
For the uninitiated, Bhatt’s scam saw Bitconnect, a much-tainted “dead coin,” being offered to investors as a promising cryptocurrency investment for those who missed the Bitcoin brigade. Investors were asked to invest BTC in turn of Bitconnect pay-outs every month, with return figures quoted at 40 percent of total investment.

Using the framework as mentioned earlier, Bhatt and his accomplices were able to trap unsuspecting businessmen and wealthy individuals, using celebrities and politicians as pawns in their evil game – presumably to build legitimacy and gain investor trust.

The scam came to light after Bhatt, and another accomplice squared up on two Bitconnect representatives in Surat, demanding over 2,000 bitcoins as ransom.

However, the enterprising accomplice double-crossed Bhatt and contacted his uncle, none other than Kotadiya, to trap Bhatt and extort all of the illegally-gained hauls.
