I understand perfectly. You only want to look at one side of this issue and ignore the complete fabrications being claimed by the accusers while you pretend to play the role of undecided moderate.
If this is what you "understand" from what I write, then I suggest we better stop wasting each other's time. You are in fact creating a strawman you can fight against, and nothing I say will convince you of what I'm actually saying.

Over and out.  Smiley

I think this didn't come out the way I meant it to. Maybe language barrier. I was referring to Pirate: he's got nothing to gain from lying to the court, especially with information which is easily verifyable.

Generally, I totally agree that "guilty until proven innocent" is not an option, hence I'm careful forming an opinion, here.

I don't know much about what else is going on between Twitchy and OgNasty. All I've seen is the information provided in this thread, and I absolutely think it's enough to ask questions.

Now you are just repeating yourself. He isn't just "asking questions" is he? He is making conclusions, and claiming to have "proof beyond a reasonable doubt OGNasty stole" that Bitcoin. That is a lie and you know it no matter how many times you try to equivocate. The history of flimsy accusations against OGNasty is quite important to this matter, but being ignorant of the history of this situation doesn't stop you from equivocating over and over playing the role of "the moderate" as you perpetuate his lies now does it?
Now why are you always bringing Twitchy in? For the sake of getting this resolved, I really don't care much about whether he is asking questions or drawing conclusions. I am asking questions and others are, too. In order to get some clarity about this situation, it would be really helpful if we can put this obsession aside and focus on the actual questions being asked. But that doesn't seem to be your intention, otherwise you probably wouldn't misunderstand what I'm writing on purpose, all the time.

So, one more time, I'm not here to argue with you about Twitchy, I'm here to ask questions I consider important and helpful in getting this mess resolved. Did that arrive?

Update Bitwala: der Support hat mir geantwortet. Es gibt irgendein technisches Problem, weshalb die Balances nicht im Wallet angezeigt werden. Auf der BTC-Empfangsadresse kann man die BTC aber sehen. Ist also angekommen; sie arbeiten an einer Lösung. Smiley

Ya'll are making me frustrated..
Begging for 100% solid proof that he was reimbursed won't magically make proof appear. We've got someone saying he did reimburse – someone who has nothing to gain from making that up (which, btw, should not be confused with considering Pirate "trustworthy"), and someone who's either avoiding the question or has poor writing skills.

So, it's not "us" making you frustrated, it's the situation and what we have, so far. And that situation demands asking questions.

You don't see any issue with people being forced to prove their innocence on demand? You don't see how this would be abused? There is a very good reason the criminal justice system uses the standard of "innocent until proven guilty" because the process itself can easily become a tool of retribution. Are you absolutely sure he has nothing to gain? With the series of accusations against him made by Twitchy Seal it in fact does seem like he has something to gain, in the form of targeting OGNasty.

Anyone?
Yes, please:

What reason would someone who's game is already over have to lie to the court, with information which would be easily verifyable? This is the point which makes no sense to me. He has no reason to lie to the court. Nothing to gain from that.

On the other hand, it would be kind of easy to tell Pirate to just send the funds to another address, because, you know, "I've somehow lost control over the original address". Not saying that this is what happened, it's not even speculation. But it's for sure a possibility.

It does say something when not a single person Theymos chose to hold onto forum funds returned them in the same state.  :/
This might become a bit offtopic, but: care to elaborate, for those who aren't that familiar with the drama, here?

Edit: I read something about missing BCH and other fork shitcoins, but I'm not sure if this is part of what you're referring to.

Hat jemand die HEX Tokens geclaimt?
Aber auf gar keinen Fall. Dem Penner helfe ich wohl noch, sich eine goldene Nase zu verdienen! Möglicherweise sind die Infos, dass es sich bei HEX um einen (ziemlich raffinierten, muss man zugeben) Betrug handelt, hier noch nicht angekommen. Hatte schon länger überlegt, mal einen Investigation-/Scam Accusation-Thread zu erstellen, aber bin noch nicht dazu gekommen.

Aber hier gibt es ein bisschen Lesestoff dazu:

Der letzte Artikel ist schon älter und dreht sich hauptsächlich darum, dass es viele red flags gibt. Der erste Artikel allerdings, und der ist wirklich lesenswert, der bestätigt, dass die ganzen red flags alle berechtigt waren und dass Richard Heart ein weiteres Krebsgeschwür in der Shitcoin Community ist.

Nachtrag Bitwala "Airdrop"

Ich habe immernoch keine 30€ von Bitwala erhalten. Habe am fraglichen Tag einen Account geöffnet und KYC bis zum Ende durchgeführt. Kp ob ich irgendwas vergessen habe… ich habe den Support jetzt einmal angeschrieben. Afair sollten die 30€ am 13.12. gutgeschrieben werden.
209  Local / Deutsch (German) / Re: Die Default Trust wurde geändert ! on: December 15, 2019, 07:52:03 PM
Danke für die Rückmeldung. Ich werde einfach mal eine Zusammenfassung mit eigenen Worten geben; die gesamten Fakten und die Posts, die welche sein wollen, sind über einige Seiten verstreut… und ja, mit dem ganzen Drama zwischendrin ist es schwer, sich in dem Thread zurecht zu finden. Was ich verstanden habe:

- OgNasty hat ein "BS&T Passthrough" gemacht, bei dem Leute nur 8% pro Monat von OgNasty statt (anfangs) 1% am Tag von Pirate bekommen
- Pirate hatte als Anforderung eine Mindestmenge BTC, OgNasty nicht
- OgNasty wollte einen reserve fund aus den Gewinnen einrichten, der im Optimalfall irgendwann den gesamten Invest deckelt
- dadurch wären alle abgesichert; der reserve fund wäre im Fall eines Defaults seitens Pirate ausgezahlt worden
- Passthrough lag irgendwann bei über 1.500 oder 2.000 BTC (damals ca. 15k USD), der reserve fund bei 65 BTC
- irgendwann kollabierte das Ponzi, OgNasty hat den reserve fund ausgezahlt


So, jetzt kommts:

- TMAN startet den von Dir verlinkten Thread, TwitchySeal macht fleißig mit
- Twitchy findet Dokumente vom Gericht, wo Pirateat40 aussagt, dass er ein paar Benutzer voll ausgezahlt hat
- darunter war auch OgNasty
- nun steht der Vorwurf im Raum, dass OgNasty sich die zurückgezahlten Funds eingesteckt und alle seine "Investoren" (hach, ich hasse diesen Begriff im Zusammenhang mit allem in Cryptoland^^) mit den 65 Reserve-BTC abgespeist hat, ohne ihnen zu sagen, dass er alles zurück bekommen hat, in der Hoffnung, dass es nie einer merkt

Ich persönlich denke, dass Pirate (dazu noch unter Eid, scheinbar) keinen Grund hat, das Gericht anzulügen. Es wäre verifizierbar und er hätte nichts zu gewinnen durch eine potenzielle Fehlinformation, die überprüfbar ist. Auf der anderen Seite aber bin ich auch ein großer Fan von dem, was Tecshare angesprochen hat:  burden of proof. Das wird hier schon ganz oft falsch gemacht und Leute werden erstmal als schuldig befunden, bis sie sich selber wieder rausgezogen haben. Das ist nicht in Ordnung… auf der anderen Seite eben finde ich ein Gerichtsdokument schon ziemlich ausreichend, um zumindest die Frage an OgNasty zu stellen, was da denn los war.



Ich muss mal schauen, ob ich nachher noch Zeit finde, für das eine oder andere Links zu finden, aber wie bereits erwähnt, ist das recht anstrengend in dem erwähnten Thread.
Dazu noch will ich jetzt auch diesen Thread nicht entgleisen lassen mit sowas... ist ja, wenn überhaupt, nur ansatzweise relevant, da es sich um einen regelmäßigen DT-Member dreht, sowie die generelle (hier schon öfter diskutierte) Frage des Trust-Themas: wen schätzt man wie ein und welche Auswirkungen hat das bzw. sollte es haben auf die eigene Trust-Liste usw. Aber einen separaten Thread dafür aufmachen will ich auch nicht. Wenn sich jemand dadurch massivst gestört fühlt, bitte kurze Rückmeldung, dann lasse ich das Thema hier raus. Smiley



Ich aktualisiere mal ein bisschen:

ne es bekommt jeder genau 355 und paar zerquetschte

edit: gibt wieder ein live ticker wer grad bezahlt wird?
Hoppla, Du hast Recht – habe soeben nochmal nachgeschaut. Keine Ahnung, wie ich auf die 288 gekommen bin. Es waren tatsächlich 355. Danke! Smiley
211  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: OgNasty Ponzi passthrough and ponzi fans.. BTC losses everywhere he goes on: December 15, 2019, 02:10:12 PM
1. You do not know the owner of the output address of the "missing" funds.
2. There are no victims seeking redress or making accusations of theft.
3. EVEN IF you are right the amounts are so small as to not really make any sense for a very trusted member to trash his reputation over. Such an account could easily sell for well over the amount allegedly stolen, therefore it makes no sense for some one to do this for monetary gains when they simply could have just sold the account and associated signatures for a much higher return.

Are any of these three points incorrect? Please explain in detail if you think so.

You never responded to these points. I wonder why.

How long will you continue to avoid addressing these points?

He can't respond to these points because they are all true, and it totally undermines the speculative narrative he is desperately trying to push. As you can see he is already laying the groundwork for shifting to another accusation to push once again clearly demonstrating this is about targeting the man OGNasty, not exposing any wrong doing.
1 and 2 are absolutely valid. Nr3 depends on what you value your account at, personally. You can trash it only once, and once it's done, it's done. So, I don't think just because something's worth more, it has to be the preferred choice or sacrifice in order to make some money off of it.
It would surely help if OgNasty would bring some clarification into this topic, but regardless of whether or not he's pocketed the funds, I can see why he does not reply, here.

I also generally agree with the whole burden of proof thing. This is generally something which is highly annoying in this forum… shifting the burden of proof to the wrong side seems to be pretty common, here. People got judged and punished for much less information than we have here. However, I think the information presented by Twitchy is enough to at least ask questions, don't you think? With everything presented, it's a possible scenario some misconduct has happened.

Maybe this whole thing had a better chance to get resolved if the OP was just a tad less clickbaity and more "functional". Now, we have a derailed thread with people repeating the same stuff over and over, with no solution in sight. And the one all this is about isn't even here.

Gute Idee... habe Cryptohunter nun auch aufgenommen (~), nachdem, was ich die letzten Tage so von ihm gelesen habe. Der Kerl muss ein schweres Trauma hier erlitten haben. Grin

http://loyce.club/trust/2019-12-07_Sat_11.54h/138833.html

1miau, wie stehst Du zu dem OgNasty-Drama? Finde die Rückschlüsse von Twitchy bzgl der BS&T Funds (insbesondere die Aussage von Pirateat40 unter Eid - er hatte keinen Grund, darüber zu lügen, dass er OgNasty ausbezahlt hat) sehr überzeugend, aber sehe es noch nicht als handfest bzw absolut an.

OgNasty hüllt sich ja auch lieber in Schweigen anstatt mal für Klarheit zu sorgen. Klar, könnte man argumentieren, dass er niemandem Rechenschaft schuldig ist, selbst wenn er sich nichts vorzuwerfen hat. Aber ob das mit seinem Erscheinungsbild hier vereinbar ist, kann ich nicht einschätzen.

Ich versuche gerade, mir eine Meinung dazu zu bilden, bin aber nicht sicher, ob ich alles Relevante bereits berücksichtigt habe, daher denke ich, es kann nur hilfreich sein, ein paar "Gegenpositionen" einzuholen, um ein möglichst objektives Gesamtbild zu bekommen.
213  Local / Altcoins (Deutsch) / Re: Diskussion Airdrops on: December 15, 2019, 08:30:58 AM
Hmm, bei mir waren es ca 15 USD, also 288 STR. Hat das ggf etwas damit zu tun, dass ich dieses Mal das erste Mal mitgemacht habe?

Die 30€ von Bitwala sollen ja heute auch kommen, iirc. An einem Sonntag? Bisschen merkwürdig, oder?
214  Local / Altcoins (Deutsch) / Re: Diskussion Airdrops on: December 14, 2019, 08:07:33 AM
Wow, gerade gesehen mit dem stellar Airdrop. Ärgerlich. Naja, er ist angekommen... freue mich darüber, aber so viel Voraussicht, das aktuelle Szenario vorher schon im Blick zu haben hätte man erwarten können. Die App brauche ich dann wohl nicht mehr.

the mixing business isn't legal
Do you have any information on that? Anything specific saying it's not legal?
I assume you're referring to the US?
216  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: OgNasty Ponzi passthrough and ponzi fans.. BTC losses everywhere he goes on: December 10, 2019, 02:24:57 PM
How is this guy not in jail yet ?
Tbh it's not that simple. We don't even know 100% for certain what really happened (even though we have strong indications); all we have from his side, so far, is a reply that he lost his BTC with BS&T, like anyone else, too. But no information about what happened to users' BTC. So, if there's that little public information out there, I don't see how anyone would go to jail for that.

Also, it's not like prosecuting authorities get to know about such cases and just throw people right into jail. Such events usually precede a conduction of criminal investigation and then, they will decide 1) if the material is enough to prove if someone's even guilty and 2) what kind of punishment is chosen. It's not like every egg thief (or even worse) goes right into jail, even though this seems to be a pretty common expectation among users in Cryptoland. Smiley
217  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: OgNasty Ponzi passthrough and ponzi fans.. BTC losses everywhere he goes on: December 07, 2019, 09:46:28 PM
I don't think law enforcement or anyone in the government would see it that way, however.
As far as I remember, there were already cases other than the Craig Wright one where courts ruled that people have a right to get back what was taken from them (being Bitcoin). That's just from memory, though, and this case might be a bit different.

I read most of this thread, but it still isn't clear to me what a "pass-through" is.  From what I gather, OgNasty was obtaining a higher interest rate from Trendon Shavers and he passed the difference along to his own investors, which I got from Vod's previous post.
OgNasty was "investing" in the Pirateat40 scam, and he offered people to "invest" with him for a lower percentage (8, later 10+% a month instead of 1% a day, initially, as with Trendon Shavers / Pirateat40). And he'd "invest" those BTC with Pirateat40. Kind of an indirect, "insured" "investing" in the BTCS&T, hence the additional BTC for the insurance fund.

And honestly I don't even know what OgNasty's business is, so that's why I've always refrained from getting involved in the scam accusations against him.  But I do see what the potential problem is here with the claim that Shavers never refunded him anything more than the 65BTC, while he apparently got much more than that.  If I'm way off base, someone please correct me.
The 65 BTC came from the insurance fund which OgNasty set up on his own, likely from the profits he made from Pirateat40. To have at least some BTC in case Pirateat40 defaults, which eventually happened. And OgNasty paid out "investors" from his insurance fund.
Now the current accussation is that he was made whole by Pirateat40, receiving all 2.000+ BTC, but not telling it his "investors" and instead, only paying them the lousy remains from the insurance fund.

You never resolved my issue!
May I ask you about the current status, then? What made Cloudbet think it was resolved? What did they offer to you? And, what made you approach game-protect to try and resolve this issue? Huh
219  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: OgNasty Ponzi passthrough and ponzi fans.. BTC losses everywhere he goes on: December 07, 2019, 08:59:43 PM
I doubt that it would be fair, in terms of equity, for any court to actually rule the return of the actual asset when the asset might be up anywhere between 50x and 1,000x depending upon a ruling that would establish when the violation had occurred (whether breach of fiduciary duties or some kind of fraud or conversion), if there were such a finding that put a date on the valuation and could conclude the amount of BTC at issue at the point of such violation(s). 


Coins are coins. Look at the craig wright ruling. I haven't read the shavers thing completely or recently, but to me 1 BTC = 1 BTC.  Not dollars. Wink
Exactly. If someone stole me x ounces of Gold, a court would probably not even ask what the price of the Gold was at the moment of the theft. The only thing that would matter was the amount of Gold which was stolen.

But I do see the issue, here – as I said, this literally compares to egg thief vs. millions of Dollars. I have no idea how to handle such a (hypothetical) thing in a fair manner.

extreme slow deposit and withdrawal times +hours
I cannot confirm this. I've used them quite a few times to sell mined or staked shitcoins, deposits always arrived fast and withdrawals were close to instant. Maybe I just got lucky with my withdrawals, but my experience does not confirm this at all. Smiley
