So let me get this straight. Dude gets caught for money laundering. Then tries to sell a Porsche for "day to day expense". Wasn't a very good launderer, was he? If he didn't have even a few grand stashed somewhere. So here's some hope that he left a truckload of breadcrumbs.

He was smug, thought he was untouchable until the Feds turned up and froze everything.
Well, nearly everything....

Quote from: Twitter
How was he able to maintain his lifestyle after the arrest... who was spending 100,000$ a month on credit card?

He got away without going down till sentencing. Wears an ankle bracelet, only allowed to live in one home lol.

Oh and

Scott has just been found guilty on both counts, money laundering and wire fraud.
The DA want to bang him up straight away, pending sentencing, as a flee risk.

We learned last night Mark Scott has tried to sell a third Porsche that is subject to a seizure order. He's part of a network of co-conspirators one of whom has completed disappeared.

First thought after reading "zero trading fees" is how the company will make profits from the platform. I extracted this text about Fees from the whitepaper :
Quote
Zero-fee leveraged trading
BBOD will be the first Zero-Fee Crypto Futures trading venue. There will be no transaction fees (zero) on the BBD-settled futures markets (eg. BTC/BBD or ETH/BBD perpetual contract). Traders need to use BBD token as a collateral. Balances and PnL is denominated in BBD. The price of e.g. BBD/TUSD will be fixed during the day and set as the  close price of the previous day. During the trading session, BTC/BBD index will be the same as the BTC/TUSD index.
I can't understand what it means to use BBD token as a collateral instead of imposing fees.

There is no such thing as no cost, so the absence of traditional fees means that revenue must be made in some other way. Enter the token.

Quote


Scrolling the whitepaper, there is a long explanation with stastics tables that compared fees in Bbd platform with fees in some other major platforms.
The company has also a green Charity program in form of donation cut from the fees :
Quote
We decided to donate up to 15% of our all trading fees to selected foundations, and you, as a BBOD trader will automatically participate in the contribution just by trading on our platform.
Experience has taught me to be wary of any project which headlines charitable deeds.

Another topic from Newbie which is not sure is it safe to use Bdod exchange

Look at the post history....  Angry

I am really interested to understand about this "first kind" trading platform, but it's really sad how it is promoted by newbie accounts . 90% of replies in their ANN thread are made by new accounts .

Yes, carrying their signature too... Also instances of what they may think as clever "guerilla marketing" which, in fact, are traditional scammer methods of exposure.
They may have a good product, but there are a number of things about it which I'm not happy with.
DYOR.

Question regarding this OneCoin scam:
- Do owners have some known Bitcoin or other crypto addresses they used?

As you can see from the money laundering case going on, the hi up scammers were only interested in fiat and hiding it; I don't think they even understood real crypto and don't seem to have thought of using it to launder their proceeds. Quite ironic really....
So I say no, but I'll check and see what I can find.
I say no also because the vast majority of Onecoin victims were crypto illiterate, seduced into parting with their fiat money by hi pressure MLM salesmanship and FOMO, as crypto was sold to them as the "new opportunity."
We're talking about the man in the street and his relatives and friends being ripped off here, trusting advice from people who they shouldn't have and handing over hard earned cash.
Buying the dream.....

285  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: OneCoin: The Biggest Scam Crypto Scam Ever? on: November 21, 2019, 04:59:08 PM

I remember walking past the shop and laughing at the shitshow.. feel bad for the losers here

If you mean the losers here as in in Bulgaria, Onecoin seems to have not promoted itself there harldy at all, probably on the basis that you don't shit on your own doorstep.

Quote
that's a shit ton of new money that missed crypto as a whole

but if you mean here as in the whole shitfest, yeah I agree, especially as it's gone on for so long worldwide.

286  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: OneCoin: The Biggest Scam Crypto Scam Ever? on: November 21, 2019, 04:38:42 PM

As the US lawyer Mark Scott waits to hear the jury's verdict in the money laundering case where he is accused of processing $400m of money stolen by Onecoin from its investors victims, in exchange for $50m in fees (he said that his goal was 50:50, to be worth $50m by the age of 50. He's now facing 50 years in prison)



back in Sofia, the Bulgarian Mafia Removals Company are hard at work.

OP does "odd jobs" so one of those must have been "post a thinly veiled ad but make sure you don't read the rules or the stickies".

obviously a new way of advertising. Newbie asking advice and free review.

Pretty old actually, I'm surprised I fell for it, must have been in a magnanimous mood.

It's not just an "exchange", it's a derivatives platform. Looks fairly well organized, I like the non custodial account feature.

No need for this to be posted in Scam Accusations unless you're making one.

After reading your report, am I right in thinking that that is your total funds managed, just over 1 BTC?

No, we use a collection of indicator accounts in order to conceal our actual trade positions/sizes from countertraders.  This also preserves the privacy of our clients.

So the accounts named TempInd 1-6, for which you provide figures, represent only a fraction of your actual trading on Bitmex on behalf of your investors?

That is correct.  Furthermore, these indicator accounts generate the data used for us to calculate ROE.  In other words, what you see in the reports, which is derived from TempInd1-6, is what our clients earn. 

I think I follow. So you may have e.g. 371 Bitmex accounts over which investors' money is spread, but you only show these six indicator accounts' trades? How do you manage to make the ROE for the entirety of the accounts reflect accurately in a summary of only six of them?

Quote
Client funds are traded as a single liquidity block and are comingled with all Templar Fund assets during trade cycles.

Sorry if I'm being unclear, let me give an example. Last week, I completed 14 BTC trades. Ten were profitable, four not. If someone asked me how last week went, I could point to eight of the profitable trades and say "Look, great, I made x", whereas the big (real) picture would be different.
Also, you say  quite clearly

we publish proof of every single trade we make.

yeah, let's ignore all that and let's lipstick that pig!


The PR Guru firm is called Blonde 2.0 and this is what they say

Quote
UK Financial partners with Blonde 2.0 to raise awareness for it’s Maya Preferred 223, Maya Coin and Fantasy Sports tokens

"Raise Awareness"?
What, like on the danger of chlamydia? Violence against women? The proliferation of scams in crypto?
Anyone with any critical reasoning is already fully "aware" of exactly what the MAYO Empire is all about: lies and bullshit.
They go on:
Quote

Or trash Dumb Blonde's (fuck the pretentious 2.0) "status and credibility"....

Quote from: Dumb Blonde
MAPR’s market cap valuation is poised to overtake that of Bitcoin.

On $200 a day volume...  Roll Eyes We're all used to this bullshit from Dahlke, but this will come back to haunt Blonde; putting their name to it means they are either deliberately parroting lies or else don't know this business from a hole in the ground.

Quote from: Dumb Blonde
The Maya 223 Preferred token is backed by gold and silver commodities held in reserve by the company from mines in Mexico.

Not even Dahlke claims this. Complete nonsense.

Quote from: Dumb Blond
The Maya Coin can be used to perform acquisitions of existing blockchain technology companies, as well as to acquire all types of assets including the purchases of profitable private and public companies that are outside the blockchain technology industry.

The "Maya Coin" is an untraded, zero valued, perfect example of a shitcoin.

Quote from: Dumb Blond
In recent months, UK Financial has made strategic announcements to advance both the Maya Coin and Maya 223’s positioning in the crypto market, including:
Listing on FatBTC – On March 16, 2019, MAPR was listed on FatBTC, with an initial price of $1,500. Within a week, the price grew to $2,900.  

..and when Dahlke stopped pumping it on that shittiestoftheshit exchange, what happened?
Today: $328.10, with a 35% spread and 32 cents volume....

Quote from: Dumb Blond
In August 2019, UK Financial announced a 51% acquisition of DFS, a gaming currency that specializes in fantasy sports. Following the acquisition, all DFS coins on the GOAT gaming platform will be backed in MAPR.  

DFS may once have had something going for it, until the Dead Hand of Dahlke destroyed its credibility as an investment with one of his oh so clever stock/token "splits." This type of old school hackneyed Wall St smoke and mirrors bs is what makes me think James Dahlke is still actually involved in this. It's the sort of thing that a provincial middle aged accountant would find clever.
DFS is now (not) trading at less than 2 cents, down from a high of 16 a couple of months ago. Financial genius at work.

Quote from: Dumb Blond
Listing on Cat.ex – On August 19th, 2019, the Maya Coin was listed on the transaction mining exchange platform at a starting price of $1
Lucky if you can get 9 cents for it now.

Ahahaha, yup, you read it right.

I'll follow with interest. I nearly gave up on looking at Maya because boring, but if there's one thing I dislike more than scammers, it's scam enablers. Enable away, Motti.

If every ETH wallet was verifiably linked to a particular individual, and if each token's ownership rights to the gold assets in the wallet was guaranteed by any state, our users would be subject to great risks when storing, using, and transferring these assets. If you are interested in that sort of services, there are companies on the market that provide them. However, you should be ready to report on your holdings and provide a number of documents (like your ID and a proof of provenance for the funds) every time you sell, buy, or transfer tokens. Since the official regulations governing that kind of operations constantly change, it's impossible to predict what will happen to companies that facilitate transactions with physical gold for individuals.

This is bordering on using FUD to justify the non convertibility of your tokens.

I doubt you know the real meaning of stablecoin in this space. You should educate yourself.

"The real meaning of stablecoin"....what is that, exactly?

For a token to be a commodity (gold, in this case) backed stablecoin, I would say that actual convertibility to the backing asset is an essential part of the definition, otherwise what do you have?
Just an unleveraged gold tracking derivative, nothing more.

Is it reasonable to assume that Mr. Dromashko owns Hashmart thru his Cyprus company, Newstack Industries Ltd.?

Yes, it's a scam. Don't deposit anything unless you want to lose it.
But there is a real time post with scammer sites?

There are so many scams.
Develop your own method of research (due dilligence) and, if in doubt, don't.
Example:
Google the physical address they provide. Does this give you confidence that they are a legitimate project?
