So now if you try to submit a support ticket asking what's going on there is no answer.. Also the support ticket is not listed under the "support zone" section. It's interesting how the massive "investor takeover" would proceed with no communication to the investors..

I put in the minimum 0.05 a week ago, then found out it's probably all a scam a day later. Couldn't withdraw my funds and it now looks as though they have shut shop.

Website isn't working.     

Although 0.05 isn't much it took me a while to get that through giveaways etc.

Feel sorry for those that invested big bucks!

Yonce is junior member on this forum but that has nothing to do with HYIP's.

This shit-fight has been very entertaining but has run its course. I don't really see a problem with either user. They have given me something to read at work for the last couple of days though, and for that, I thank you.

Is there any doubt in peoples minds that this isn't a scam now?   We don't really understand that exact nature or scope of the scam but we have all lost earnings and access to our funds.   Most of us still have most of our funds locked up, myself included. 

Their replies are so helpful and informative...

thanks, I am one lucky guy, received everything back plus the interest during the time I had my btcs on site...just posted 1 or 2 pages ago...the fun part is: I have a friend who also has btcs there and he is taking into consideration to start an arbitrage business for him and his closer friends. I know the guy and I am very tempted to jump in, but at this stage I am not making any teasing to anyone and probably I will not make any future commercial to that with any referral link. For sure it will not be a scam. At least I will have the opportunity to understand better some aspects of btc world. The advantage is I know him, and he is trusty, at least for me, so I feel more comfortable.

Cheers

The fact is, a lot of people are hoping against hope that there's something legitimate about this site...in the face of all evidence to the contrary. I wanted to believe it was legitimate for a LONG time, I didn't think the similarity in site design to a prior scam site was convincing enough, since those designs can be repurposed and resold by their developers. The updates always seemed to jive with the market and the answers I got from Adam were acceptable. I never had any issues withdrawing funds. I'd had no experience with ponzi schemes in the past, but I didn't really understand how the percentages I was being credited with every day could have come from new users, when new users also received the same percentages I did from their deposits.

Over time I realized that the numbers were just numbers in my account. I assumed they represented funds that were on trading accounts and were being reconciled every day, to derive the percentage profit...but now I realize that it didn't really matter whether I had 3 Bitcoin in my account or 300, they were just numbers. It didn't matter how much it said I had, until the time came to withdraw the funds. That's when the money had to become "real" again. When I saw someone come in saying his friend tried to pull 30 out at once and had it canceled, and was then told to withdraw a little at a time instead, I started to worry...so a few days later, I initiated my first small withdrawl (5 BTC). Then Easter happened, and of course, the transfer was canceled by admin and my entire balance was locked behind a fence.

So it's not looking good. But while I think Yonce is belaboring the point a little bit (yes we get it, it's most likely a ponzi) there's no reason to make accusations at him. It's a hard lesson to learn, but we need to learn it and be more careful next time...and he's just saying that if you get educated about it, you CAN make money on HYIPs and learn how to sort out the good ones from the bad. Me, I have no intention of ever doing anything like this again. However, I DO plan on engaging in arbitrage on my own, eventually. I have educated myself about how it can be done efficiently and effectively, so when I've amassed enough to make it worthwhile, I'm going to try it.

I sent them a message today, explaining that I would happily provide them with my detailed spreadsheets and record of funds sent from my wallet that corroborates every deposit I made to them. Nothing was EVER changed on my account and I've had two factor authentication since the day they offered it. Not that it'll do any good. I've managed to pull out a whopping 1.2 Bitcoin, with about 36 still behind the "legacy" wall.

Can no longer access my account - "incorrect login credentials" even though I know I correctly entered them several times.  

And this then is the biggest bull I ever heard.

I don't know why yonce is getting nailed here.  He's speaking the truth... these are common tactics and anyone saying otherwise are simply wearing rose-colored lenses.  This operation will end soon.  I just hope I get my initial investment back before that happens.

So basically what they've done is taken our coin, use it to trade and pay us back the interest into our new fund...sweet.

I don't think they got that much BTC from investors. 1.5k maybe, but even that sounds too much for me...

No response, but really I would only expect rudeness if there was response at this point.   I personally believe that Adam is still running the show and that this isn't the worst of what is to come. 

It's not my opinion. It is fact and has been since I first came here.

I'm here for the same reason I always have said to let people know when a site is a straight out scam and from a scummy admin. I don't toot my own horn or find pleasure in that. I'm embarrassed continuously for the Bitcoin community that it gets taken for millions upon millions when we are the ones who are suppose to be the most internet savvy. The same scam just happens over and over. I really thought Leancy would have been enough, but nope, btc-arbs has to happen, some smaller obvious short term scams happened, and now we have more people are piling their bitcoin into.

I don't throw any ref links out... The reality is there isn't any hope and you are doing yourself a disservice by believing so. But I understand it is human nature to hold out hope when there is none. It happens with every HYIP that fails. There's always users posting in the forums months later, admin please give me my money back and what not. This thread probably will have people posting for months if not still in 2015 looking for their lost ponzi game money. You gambled and lost, that is it.

And I am proud to give advice for those who want to still play HYIP's and I'm not ashamed whatsoever about that. I've well over tripled my bitcoin holdings since last year because of HYIP's.

The admin isn't going to answer your tickets. He is probably too busy with his other site rockwell-partners.

The game is over. There is nothing else to see. Btc-arbs is done. The ponzi ended, move onto the next. Don't waste your time contacting support of a dead ponzi.
