2001  Economy / Reputation / How wide reaching can the consequences of Chipmixer money laundering be? on: March 16, 2023, 04:45:36 PM
EDITED: Chipmixer has been seized by the FBI and a warrant for arrest issued for the owner/operator.

I have obfuscated the real name of the owner/operator of the Chipmixer website by replacing what appears on the FBI website with XXX instead. The original images of the FBI website and most of the original OP here will be moved to the Investigations board.

The FBI website states this about him:

Remarks:
XXX has basic training in cryptographic engineering and previously worked in decrypting communications and cyber reconnaissance. In 2016, XXX earned a PhD in electronic engineering in Taiwan.

Caution:
XXX is wanted for his alleged direct involvement in stealing identities and engaging in money laundering activity in furtherance of obfuscating and facilitating the functionality of the ChipMixer service.  Through this conduct, XXX has allegedly facilitated the laundering of approximately $3 billion USD worth of Bitcoin.  A large portion of the funds are directly associated with the victimization of people worldwide through ransomware attacks, cryptocurrency heists, the purchase of illicit drugs, the distribution and production of child sexual abuse material, and other crimes.

On March 14, 2023, XXX was charged with Money Laundering, Operating an Unlicensed Money Transmitting Business, and Identity Theft in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and a federal warrant was issued for his arrest.



-----------


What signal does this international operation to seize Chipmixer send out to other mixers? I am no expert but as far as I can see, in the end, they all will be marked by various international agencies for eventual seizing and the arrest and trial of their owners and employees.

According to news outlets, German authorities seized servers and crypto worth $46 million. US authorities have accused Chipmixer of laundering over $3 billion since 2017. If international authorities will try to seize all funds related to Chipmixer as they are deemed to be illicit, then it is possible that an attempt could be made by authorities to retrieve all the funds that have been paid out as signature campaign fees as they have effectively promoted/advertised the service.

This could end up being very messy for a lot of members in the forum that participated in their signature campaigns if the FBI and US justice department decide to force forum members to repay all the money they received from Chipmixer as signature campaign income.

How do those that participated in the Chipmixer signature campaign feel about this? Do you think you will be asked to repay all the money you received for promoting Chipmixer since the FBI and other international agencies have attributed them to money laundering?
2002  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ FOOTBALL: UEFA Champions League 2022/23 on: March 16, 2023, 03:09:40 PM
RESULTS:

Napoli 3-0 Eintracht Frankfurt (Agg: 5-0)
Real Madrid 1-0 Liverpool (Agg: 6-2)


After the battering Liverpool received in the first leg it was inevitable Real Madrid would go through to the next round. Liverpool have to try to use this season as a learning experience and try better next season. If they knew they were not going to win the Premier League (and knew they were going to struggle to fight for a top four finish), they should have pushed very hard to challenge Real Madrid but they basically fell flat.

Liverpool need a rebuild of their squad, they have young talent coming through but they need to sell or part with senior players such as Milner, Henderson and ask themselves why they allowed Salah to earn the record amount of money he is getting when he is playing awful football.

Congratulations to Chelsea, Benfica, Bayern Munich, Manchester City, Real Madrid and the three Italian teams in the competition Inter Milan, AC Milan and Napoli.

^  It looked like an easy bet for Real Madrid on paper but the match was kinda a grueling watch.  It's like You knew a goal was coming but after the first half, I couldn't watch anymore as I was getting on edge and had some things to get done irl.  Was glad to see a goal before the match ended.  Lol...  Sad to see Liverpool go but they really had a low chance of getting back with a three goal deficit on aggregate and with the match at the Bernabeu.  If it was at Anfield, maybe...  At Madrid, low chance imho.

Anyway...  Draw for the quarter finals will be on Friday.

Well, Haaland scored 5 as Manchester City won 7-0. Could this be the year they win the Champions League?

Chelsea, Benfica, AC Milan, Bayern Munich, Manchester City and Inter Milan have all qualified for the quarter-finals. I think it is a foregone conclusion that Napoli and Real Madrid will join them.

Here are the games being played this evening:

Napoli vs Eintracht Frankfurt (Agg: 2-0)
Real Madrid vs Liverpool (Agg: 5-2)

That is life when it comes to business and business dealings, it is all about money. Sure there is prestige at stake as well as a history-in-the-making event such as a unification fight but if the correct money is not on the table or if the split is not acceptable the fight will not go ahead.

Until they actually get it on in the ring, I suppose we will have to keep on reading those funny comments from Fury to keep us busy  Grin

Again is all about how to split the money and this is the reason why most fights such as this one never really happen till now. They really need to make this fight as soon as possible and if they really want it to happen, it will gonna happen considering the fight that will gonna take place this May between Garcia and Davis. We see that they are the only ones who are not serious about it for whatever reasons they have, people are tired to hear it and if they wanted not to fight, they could have just been silent about it not to make any hype for a fight that will never gonna happen anyway.

Whether it was Jordan or Usyk, he made comments in true Tyson Fury fashion, he said: "I can’t wait, I’m in the best shape of my life, I’m fucking ready to rock and troll, I wish it was this weekend. Usyk you gappy-teeth, ugly, bug-eyed, rabbit, cat, ugly piece of s***, you are getting knocked the f*** out"

Whether it is 70/30 with or without the £1 million donation or any other split, most fans are tired of the delay and simply want to see the unification fight to take place.

2006  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ English Premier League Season: 2022/2023 on: March 14, 2023, 10:15:06 PM
@JollyGood it does seems that Potter has managed to turnaround things, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they started losing again too hence I would totally avoid wagering on them.
At Chelsea finally have some momentum now and credit lay with Potter. If Chelsea finish outside the top 4 as expected but manage to go on a successful Champions League run, it would be a good season considering how badly they faltered after Tuchel was sacked.

Nice one for Potter and Chelsea as well, I must say that the man G. Potter is getting the spark back on Chelsea but as we all know the fans, they're still waiting if he'll make any mistakes.
I am happy for Potter, he deserves some good fortune after the miserable and painful run that Chelsea have endured. I hope he and Chelsea keep it going and they manage to get more points on the table. The way he was affected when he and his family received threats (by supposed-Chelsea fans) was sad to see, I hope he can keep a winning run going.

Scammers are more often than not heartless (Robin Hood comes to mind), I mean I have never heard of a scammer that had either any morals or an iota of decency within them but that is part of their system. They should at least post here to address the questions and concerns.

Scamming right in plain site and seeing this just shows how heartless people can be, and this being an obvious scam need not to have warning flags but nuked and post history wiped out to prevent anybody from interacting with such dubious software.

~Flag supported~

Well done to Potter and Chelsea for three consecutive wins including a massive on in the Champions League midweek. Everton have moved away from the relegation zone with a vital win.

With Manchester City winning a difficult game at Crystal Palace they have put all the pressure back on Arsenal and are now just 2 points behind them. Tottenham are just 1 point behind 3rd place Manchester United though they have played extra games.

I think $300 is something highly unlikely to be deemed as worth taking a risk on as far as the majority of forum members are concerned.

As you said, even giving this software away would be sending alarm bells ringing. There sad part is there will always be someone who will end up parting with passwords, seeds and other private information when they really have no need to do so in the first place.

Hey, newbies can have a lot of money too!  Cheesy

But yeah, not many of them would shell out $300 for this software. Maybe the guy would've had more luck if he gave it away for free, but I bet people would catch on to his scam pretty quickly. (I'm curious to check out the source code, but I'm definitely not paying $300 for it.)

You as the OP and the operator of the business really should address the questions surrounding your motives and addressing the issues behind the reasons why a flag was created against you. Are you able to put forward any argument to counter the views that senior members of the forum have built about you?

I have supported the flag but have thus far refrained from leaving any tags as I want to hear your side first. If you do not manage to respond to the concerns made by multiple members here within the next few days I would feel obligated to leave appropriate trust on your profile.

- By using the SeedChecker software, you confirm that all seed phrases used on your part belong only to you.
- By purchasing the software, you confirm that you going to use the author's products exclusively for lawful purposes.
- The author is not responsible for your legal / illegal actions, as a result of which harm was caused to any person.

These are the games taking place today:

Bournemouth 1-0 Liverpool(result)
Everton vs Brentford
Leeds United vs Brighton and Hove Albion
Leicester City vs Chelsea
Tottenham Hotspur vs Nottingham Forest
Crystal Palace vs Manchester City


What is wrong with Liverpool? They could have moved in to the top and taken over a Champions League position at the expense of Tottenham but they missed a penalty courtesy of Salah and they lost the game 1-0 at Bournemouth in the early kick-off game.

How can they humiliate, trash and destroy Manchester United 7-0 one week then lose at Bournemouth the next week? They will never be the same team again because Sadio Mane was the one player that was higher than others when it came to their driving force.

Though it seems morally the correct course of action, we all know scams are not moderated in the forum therefore that will probably not happen on the basis of a scam or potential scam.

When scams or potential scams take place all we can do is leave tags, support flags and exclude from our trust lists and try to warn to newbies and gullible people to avoid them otherwise they will most probably end up out of pocket.

The nerve of this guy, he should be banned and all his posts deleted only newbies who do not know the basic of not sharing their seed phrase will fall into this, how he markets his software is enticing but make no mistake about it there is no such thing as good software or platform if they will ask you your seed phrase, supported the flag and requested that the said account get a ban, he even got a copper account to promote his software.

Sporting Lisbon 2-2 Arsenal

Manchester United 4-1 Real Betis

Arsenal still have a lot of work to do if they are to progress to the next stage but Manchester United bounced back from their defeat to Liverpool by winning comfortably and should qualify for the next round.

I thought I've seen all kind of scam attempts, but this is something new. Worst of all, I have no doubts that some will actually fall for this and enter their own seed phrase into this "software".

Anyway, flag supported and scammer tagged.
That seems to be what the creator of the website seems to be holding on to (that gullible people will fall for the scam). I also have supported the flag for obvious reasons.

Once they have your data, who knows what they might do with it? So, be careful and don't fall for these tricks, or you might end up losing all your precious coins!

Flag supported.
That is the key point, after they in possession of your data (seed phrases or anything else) they could easily use that very same data to steal from you. Simply on that basis alone, this website cannot be trusted.

I support the flag, and I hope no one downloads this scammer's software or puts seed phrases in it because the victim's entire device will be hacked, and he will lose his wallet and all assets.
I also have supported the flag but would invite the seed checker website forum representative to make a post here to add their comments and views to those that have already been expressed here so we can all read what they have to say about the situation.

I could not have phrased it better.

After the manner in which you have articulated the main point about it being wise to not trust any website that required or asked for seed phrases it would be a huge mistake if anybody reading your post went on to enter private details in this or any other so-called seed checker website. Anybody entering their seed phrases in any website are most likely going to see their disappear, it is not worth the risk and there is no real reason to enter seed phrases anywhere.

SeedChecker is a browser-based software for checking and 24/7 monitoring of Seed-phrase balances.
~

Warning - This is most likely a scam!

It is important for everyone to be extra cautious with this type of software, as it is clearly designed to trick users into handing over their seed phrases and private keys. Whether it is open-source or not, it is simply not wise to trust any software or website that requires access to your seed phrase. It makes me wonder why the developer opted for a seed phrase instead of a master pub key. Why didn't they choose the more secure option that would not require users to give up their sensitive private information?

Bayern Munich 2-0 Paris Saint-Germain

Tottenham Hotspur 0-0 AC Milan
Agg: AC Milan won 0-1








After the games that were played on 8th March it was clear big teams were knocked out. PSG were humiliated as Mbappe, Messi and their team were knocked out by a brilliant Bayern Munich side that had no doubts they would do it. As for Tottenham, they narrowly lost out to AC Milan over two legs but they were playing the second leg at home and should have at least scored once which would have turned the tie around.

As it stands, congratulations to Bayern Munich and AC Milan.

Nottingham Forest 2-2 Everton
Liverpool 7-0 Manchester United


Well those derby games are supposed to be classic games which are on a different level with intensity and passion but what happened here was near total capitulation of Manchester United. They handed victory on a plate to Liverpool. At least the top four race gets even more fascinating now as Liverpool are finally getting serious about trying to end their season on a high.

Arsenal impressed me the most, they Brighton defeating Westham by 4nill. The premier league is getting it shape, let's expect unpredicted results,Today Manchester United will be facing their rival Liverpool. This is game they interest everyone, and must watch match in English premier league. It will be tough but Manchester United will scale through
2018  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ English Premier League Season: 2022/2023 on: March 04, 2023, 11:36:41 PM

Manchester City 2-0 Newcastle United
Arsenal 3-2 Bournemouth
Aston Villa 1-0 Crystal Palace
Brighton and Hove Albion 4-0 West Ham United
Chelsea 1-0 Leeds United
Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-0 Tottenham Hotspur
Southampton 1-0 Leicester City


Arsenal came from from 0-2 down to win 3-2 deep in time added-on against Bournemouth. Manchester City have kept pace at the top of the table by winning but with Newcastle United and Tottenham losing they have allowed Liverpool, Fulham and Brighton to join the chase for 4th place. These five teams are effectively trying to finish the season in 4th place and qualify for the Champions League next season.

These are the games taking place on Snuday 5th March 2023:

Nottingham Forest vs Everton 
Liverpool vs Manchester United

Manchester City vs Newcastle United
Arsenal vs Bournemouth
Aston Villa vs Crystal Palace
Brighton and Hove Albion vs West Ham United
Chelsea vs Leeds United
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Tottenham Hotspur
Southampton vs Leicester City


Manchester City vs Newcastle United will have an early kick-off. If Manchester City win they will be just two points behind leaders Arsenal. You would expect Arsenal to defeat Bournemouth at home and sit at the top of the table but if Newcastle United manage a win or a draw then Manchester City will have problems catching up with Arsenal.
