YW @JollyGood:
The awesome compilation by @suchmoon on the GAWMiners Scam thread actually expedited the SEC & FBI investigations against Josh Garza & cronies.
I guess we'd need @ThrillHou to oblige us here....
Long story short:
Paul Vernon AKA Perv Vern was doing dubious practices at
Craptsy Cryptsy for years & many of us saw the end coming. He claims they got "hacked" for a huge sum of coins, but didn't tell anyone for a year! He got involved in the Paycoin scam. Things went downhill fast after that. Apparently he wiped the servers, dumped his wife & children, and fled to China, but most of the BTC has not been moved.
Nice one Roombot, thank you for the information. I was fairly up to date on it except two things you mentioned:
1) Paycoin: I will look up the Paycoin scam to learn about what it was (sorry, not familiar with it though it was mentioned a couple of times recently).
2) "but most of the BTC has not been moved" - has anyone been able to understand why Paul Vernon has not moved it?
Thanks for the links too. I will probably contact them tomorrow evening and let you know the outcome when I hear back from them. My total investment at the time of the fraud where they blocked my access was very little but I still will chase this and see what happens. Cheers
