Can we confidently say; Zizou is the best thing to ever happen to the game of football? He has dominated everything he has ever wanted to be. He was a fantastic midfielder, a coach who had several histories created and broken. Same squad that was struggling under Solari and Lopetegui is going 9 matches without struggling for a draw. Incredible stats he has got.
Kudos.

Just noticed I’ve reached over 2000 Activity, 5 & a half years posting here, it’s been a pleasure sharing the forum with you guys. I’ve learnt so much here, bitcoin is a huge part of my life, it’s changed my life & given me opportunities I would never have dreamed possible before.

I’d be interested to see how many others have over 2000 Activity & over 2000 Merit, I think we might be a very exclusive group here Wink

LoyceV do you have a list?

Next stop for me, over 3000 Merit Smiley

I’ll stop boring you guys now, I’ll raise a glass to my fellow coiners as we head into the next parabolic bull run over the next 2 years.

Cheers

I love reading your posts, I just checked up your profile to see this. Congratulations on your deserved legendary status and congratulations on your deserved EPL victory. Thanks for always sharing your knowledge with the forum.. Shocked Cool
2663  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How was FBI able to locate which Bitcoin wallet is Woodberry's? on: July 11, 2020, 09:02:11 AM
As part of the scheme, he reportedly directed ‘money mules’ in the United States to open bank accounts in the names of victimised companies.
Mr Ponle then instructed the mules to convert the proceeds to bitcoin (virtual currency) and to send the proceeds of the BEC schemes to a bitcoin wallet that he owned and operated.
“Mark instructed Individual B and Individual A to send money to the bitcoin wallet 16AtGJbaxL2kmzx4mW5ocpT2ysTWxmacWn (“the 16AtGJ BTC Wallet”) on at least nine occasions.

Those above statements are taken from the link that you provided above. It clearly says that FBI were able to catch the mules (individuals A, B etc) and they all sent BTC to the same address as asked by Mark. Mark was the fake name used by the mastermind. I believe you got your answer what you are looking for. Everything is so clearly mentioned in the news but if i am missing something or have been unable to understand what you are looking for, please ask again and I will try to help.

Indeed it is not easy to track someone unless things are connected to each-other. He was smart but not that smart enough. If Mr. Ponle would have been a member here, he would have learnt more about it and probably, he would have avoided all these chaos Smiley


Even if he was a member of this forum as crime is the paramount offence in this whole scenario; greed would still expose him to the law as there was a member of this forum that tried to scam a casino company and he was busted. Your answer has provided me answer with whatever curiousity I've been having as he was able to be traced and arrested against my initial thoughts of Bitcoin being completely anonymous.
2664  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / How was FBI able to locate which Bitcoin wallet is Woodberry's? on: July 11, 2020, 08:26:39 AM
I've read he transferred money gotten from his victims to Bitcoins and who disclosed his Bitcoin address to FBI? Is it possible for FBI to just locate one's Bitcoin address?

Quote
Preliminary blockchain analysis done by the FBI indicated that the 29-year-old received at least 1,494.71506296 bitcoin related to these BEC schemes, valued at over $6 million dollars at the time he received the proceeds.

“Mark instructed Individual B and Individual A to send money to the bitcoin wallet 16AtGJbaxL2kmzx4mW5ocpT2ysTWxmacWn (“the 16AtGJ BTC Wallet”) on at least nine occasions.

“Records obtained from Bitpay, a processor of cryptocurrency transactions, indicated that between approximately September 18, 2015 and November 29, 2016, the 16AtGJ BTC wallet made five purchases associated with the Gmail account hustleandbustle@gmail[.]com (the “hustle Gmail account”).

Looking how prepared United is to be in UCL the coming season. They have dominated almost all the opponents they've met in the last 4 encounters. Hoping to continue the winning streak against Aston villa today, I'd be going for full time over 2.5.

4 reasons.
1. Pogba will be hoping to add a goal or make assists to prove his presence in the team.
2. Bruno has been consistent and proved he is the man United have been missing, hoping he gets an assist and a goal.
3. Martial X Rashford goal scoring relationship will be booming.
4. United has been a scoring tam lately..

All things been equal

2669  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: It's ok if your profits are less on: July 09, 2020, 06:22:01 PM
I had been holding 1000 Eidoo coins since a few years and was wishing the price rise high so that I make a hefty profit out of it.
But I was feeling bad of the fact that despite holding it for a few years the price didn't rise much.
Lately the price went from 0.001 ETH to 0.002 ETH and I was happy that the price increased at least a little.
Though my target was around 0.003 ETH I decided to sell all of it for 0.002 ETH per coin since I was assuming that the price will fall down again.
I got the 2 ETH by selling all the coins and I saw the price today and it was 0.0032 ETH per coin.
If I would have sold it today I would have got 3.2 ETH. So I basically got 1.2 ETH less than what I could have got.

But this is what I want to highlight. Though I could have got more profit I am not sad since I got at least a little profit.
I know I would have been more happier if the price would have decreased after I sold but I am not sad that it instead increased.
So guys, it's ok if your profits are less. You are at least making profits while things could have gone the other way around.

This same logic applies to everyone within the Crypto ecosystem take for example the person who shopped with a couple of Bitcoins in 2009 for few cents will forever be in regret as the price of Bitcoin was so high few years back, it is good you made some profits on the long run.

I also have a feeling they will win by more than 2 goals margin today.Aston Villa is not completely relegated yet so they may attack and score goals too.Aston Villa has not showed a consistent gameplay and for me they deserve to be relegated.I also think and over 2.5 can be a good bet today.

It will definitely be an entertaining game to watch. The both teams will be on the attacking than defence, scoring and equalising will be high too. Couple with the fact that United need goals to top Chelsea if they are to level on the same tier point.

3. Martial X Rashford goal scoring relationship will be booming.
4. United has been a scoring tam lately..

Reason 1: I don't think pogba would be too worried about him scoring or assisting if the team goes away with the three points, he has taking a more relaxed role being part of the build up rather than the final assist or team work, I think Manchester united recent form comes from team work.

Reason 2. Bruno has been outstanding and he is becoming the talisman in Manchester united. He has the ability to win games, score goals and give assist I will also be counting on him, but like I said it a team work.

Reason 3. I don't think this is true, martial has be in firing form but not Rashford, greenwood has been in sparkling form I would count on him in today's match

Final reason. They have been a scoring team but with exception of Bournemouth match defensively they have been sound, Manchester united should win this.

Yes, I agree with the fact that the team's dominance is due to the team work rate, don't get me wrong though. Pogba was a nice playmaker when he was in Juve had few assists to his name. He seems not be that agile since he came back from the recent injury he had. Hoping he puts a remarkable performance today.

no but seriously, the sooner bitcoin goes to zero the better.
back to regulated, fiat goverment approved gambling please, none of these gangsta outfits
In comes the indignant attitude: what a surprise. I guess when you don't get your way, the only thing left to do is to rage on the internet for no reason and waste both your time and the time of others. After all, since you're clearly not doing anything productive with your time, why should anybody else?

By all means, spout some bullshit about how "fiat government approved gambling" is better. Hint hint: they're all shitty.

He had better be traced made to face the wrath of the law like his cohorts are been sentenced on a daily basis. If proper care isn't taken, the Casino company could have gone bankrupt because of a jobless scammer. Hiding behind "Blockchain" pseudonym. I can only wish he is been apprehended.

Langel is such an unrepentant liar, he rushed and deleted his post on this topic, every of his tactics are suspicious of him being a scammer as accused by the casino account handler. He probably have shut the door for innocent people who would be trapped in this kind of situation. Good thing investigation was carried out to ascertain his atom of lies.
2678  Economy / Reputation / Re: Bitcasino.io comes to a non disclosed agreement with a user who won 171 btc on: July 08, 2020, 01:37:11 PM
Hi everyone,

We were made aware of a thread recently created, the thread is now locked and contains incorrect information which we’d like to set straight.


Before getting into the case, I want to acknowledge a point that was made in the now locked thread around the gravity of the situation
and the potential positive or negative impact on our reputation.

With that in mind, we think it’s crucial to share some of our reasoning and proof behind why we’re certain that LAngel’s winnings
are not legitimate and are a result of fraudulently manipulating GameArt’s Dawn of Olympus.

This is not the first encounter we’ve had with this person and this was made crystal clear when we uncovered a 100% match to a previous user
who had been investigated and subsequently blocked for tampering with games.
We use a wide array of industry-leading detection tools, 100% across them is unambiguously a match.

Previously, this user managed to extract a large amount of BTC from ourselves and also hit a few other crypto casinos in a very similar manner.
For this reason this person is widely known to ourselves, other crypto casinos and at least GameArt, if not other game providers.

Furthermore, KYC has been consistently inconsistent and while for privacy reasons we can’t post the submitted KYC here,
we can say without any doubt that the KYC documents submitted are not valid.

We know however that our community here requires something more tangible than simply our word.
Below, you will see the publicly available proof from the Blockchain supporting our findings that there is indeed a pattern of a single individual
who we know to be manipulating and exploiting games across casino operators, and that LAngel is not as legitimately lucky as would have you believe.

Transaction 1 where 0.483 BTC is moved to 14t9Ff3yUgwcQm5HsAsL5Rq7meBBCDT8g5
68c63caf998c3e84f342caa988d1e439f8cd78174aa389185b3e4a06f0ecf27b

Transaction 2 where 0.1 BTC is deposited from 14t9Ff3yUgwcQm5HsAsL5Rq7meBBCDT8g5 to Account 1 deposit address in Bitcasino 3G4r8XMKgvKFq3M29kNuV9RE6kvq7eY5Qh
7dbd1fe62c6afb93ecaa8ce0eed7cb0e90210de93151eb29f894a81c32cacc25

Transaction 3 where 0.196 BTC is sent from 14t9Ff3yUgwcQm5HsAsL5Rq7meBBCDT8g5 to a new address 1BCeQTQWvq5gzk8yEBzwGrWuLYjHmvf3P2
571a8a4c2f6d59044e669f5f5956e4544970fce7aea21feb3d32caa577b35497

Transaction 4 where inputs from 1BCeQTQWvq5gzk8yEBzwGrWuLYjHmvf3P2 and 13mEeWBYtd4huuuWGTFbEvbH192uMGh3tF send 4.5 BTC to a Casino Operator 1 deposit address 1BnqgnQFVpevz7idhBHpdD2Axy7L9ZC42U and 0.134 BTC to a new address 1DFQ7ofFWf1yffqwQL1Jdv445ZeYxSuGiD 90eea9f590e77ce6e9e70de79911ef38275e0d22642b54c02d34343c3b59bbdb

Transaction 5 where inputs from 18qF5tBd175jfz3AwjtsbebTfn8nkfRGDm and 1DFQ7ofFWf1yffqwQL1Jdv445ZeYxSuGiD are sending 0.5 BTC to Bitcasino onto Account 2 deposit address 3Bn9pecZA6r3Z1bCYdh4GV5tM3DYXxMhzF and 0.055 BTC to a new address 1J14KoZVUXrG3P4Rcs6URZQ1dJHY77tVWQ 5a9b14457a493e6c237d1e38dd1b80082af45e217a77782fdd605fd5e09dd4ee

Transaction 6 where inputs 1J14KoZVUXrG3P4Rcs6URZQ1dJHY77tVWQ and 1JkAF2owb3QgXG1UN53yREFvogTWeLs1TZ fund a deposit of 0.5 BTC to a players deposit address 38492UnXhifAE4Yag26Lbp6beoxB1cLTDT within Casino Operator 2 52777ed072b6fdd1c3cbb8b14ce7fb37556d302a0e9eaa64e801731c8b92fcb3

The above combination transactions prove that the addresses involved are in possession of a single entity responsible of the deposits to
Bitcasino Account 1, Account 2 and also to Casino Operator 1 and Casino Operator 2.

Given the 100% match, our fraud team’s extensive findings supported by GameArt’s investigation and the history we have with this user
the account will not be unfrozen and the funds will not be paid out. There is no settlement, this is false information.

Bitcasino has been around for just over six years now, that type of longevity is not possible in our industry if you’re scamming or acting with ill intent.
On average we pay out legitimate winnings in two minutes but we will never be publicly blackmailed into paying out illegitimate gains.

There may be people here who, for their own reasons, will not want to believe or agree with our decision.
To that we can only urge everyone to think critically about this case and explore the evidence available.
There are plenty of red flags that can be seen in the original thread, from the YouTube video to now being private to the very fact that the
user has been withdrawing 25BTC over the past few days - something which has already been noted by Bitcointalk members.

We will continue to work with our fellow crypto casinos and game providers to ensure that we are aware
and can protect ourselves from future attacks on both the technical and reputational fronts.

Currently, we’re in talks with the other casinos and those businesses affected to see whether or not they are happy to go public with their encounters with LAngel.
While we can’t make them, we strongly believe it’s important for our community to be united against such manipulation.

Lastly, we say it a lot but fun, fast and fair isn’t just our marketing motto - this is what we work and live by at Bitcasino.
We’re hopeful that the community here will explore the case and support us on the matter as it has done so many times before.

Should any member of the community have more information about this individual please feel free to reach out to enquiries@bitcasino.io or to myself.
You can also do so anonymously if you feel the need to.

Cheers,
Karl

In as much as these evidences are glaring enough for even a dumb and deaf person to read them aloud. You have detected a fraudulent act on the player's account on several occasions, no legal action was taken. Or is your company fraud tolerance?

The user played with 5700x return which means the chance of winning was too low. The bet amount was $250. He risked himself a lot. If he played 1000 times and lost $250000, would Bitcasino give him back $50000 or even $5000? I doubt they would. It's gambling. I don't see any reason to settle up such a win. It's untrustworthy behavior in my opinion.

Injustice is profaned.. double edged sword!

They are fairly unfair with the decision they took with the winner.
2680  Economy / Reputation / Re: Bitcasino.io comes to a non disclosed agreement with a user who won 171 btc on: July 08, 2020, 01:02:18 PM
Let's assume what AlexSimon is saying is true. If the user was from a country where gambling is illegal or something like that. If the casino knows he is from a restricted country, why allow him to deposit and play?

Deposit should be blocked/refunded and user not allowed to play. Allowing him to play and win big, then take 2/3rds of his winnings away is pretty nuts.

This is pure speculation at this point, but not much more we can think without a statement from the site rep.

They wouldn't know the person's real identity till KYC is verified.
He could be bypassing the restrictions through VPN.. Roll Eyes
