He did seem really fishy from the start. Right out the gate he was trying to work deals which is one telltale sign of a scammer.

More merchant adoption if people see Bitcoin being adopted by traditional financial institutions for one thing.

It is if he can sign the address. But I doubt he can even come up with a TxID.

Gary, can you please sign the address that holds the 100 BTC to prove ownership? That would help quell some of the doubters. Thanks!

Why would you bump the loan request 10 hours later for something you only needed within the initial hour?

Oh snap, son! Raize just broke em off somethin proppa like.

I strongly urge anybody to avoid selling BTC for PayPal. You can safely assume that ALL PayPal transactions will be disputed some time after you send the Bitcoins. However, if the buyer is willing to use escrow, I'm can hold Bitcoins for 180 days until the ability to charge back expires.

Sorry to hear that happened to you, but in reality nobody's going to do shit to you. Yeah, they'll dox you and send the threatening Emails which bits of info from your dox because that's all they've got. In the end though, they're not doing shit. Look at all that happened to Trendon Shavers -- NOTHING.

If they don't want to accept Bitcoin, then fuck them. They can wallow in their legacy analog money.

You stand an exceedingly likely chance of being scammed if you accept Paypal. You stand a 100% chance of being scammed if you accept Paypal from a newly registered member.

I can escrow for free (minus the .001 transaction fee). Just let me know and I'll make an escrow address.

I meant the +1 to your rep

Two weeks ago you could have taken out a 1 BTC loan with 70 LTC collateral. With that 1 BTC you could have bought another ~59 LTC and then after it shot up to .034, you could have sold half of your LTC for 1 BTC  to pay me back and pocketed the other half and received your original 70 LTC back. These types of collateralized loans are perfect for leveraging buys when you think a coin has hit the bottom and is about to swing back up.

There's a reason why car title loan companies exist. Asking for LTC collateral is simply the cryptocurrency equivalent.

How's about that?

I agree, although I suspect that 85% figure is closer to 95% if not higher.

Geezus, dude is still trying to scam.

Alright, lemme check with my buddy at work who is trying to cash out some coins, but they're dicking him around with verification at MtGox. Not sure how many, but I'll get back to you when he gets in.

Neg rep'd. Thanks. What was the delivery address?
