Take a look at this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5154975

As you can see Matrix have been caught having fake team members (multiple times) on top of other very serious red flags shown in that topic above. I'd suggest you delete it (content) and lock this thread, otherwise, you risk your account being -ve tagged and flags raised.

Yeah, np... Wink

Am still trying to figure out how these scammers are benefiting from it.

I'm not familiar with facebook scams but likely he will be given another link where he has to log-in and ultimately lose his private keys/funds.

For example - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5166661

You can call it a scam just by reading the first paragraph lol

In finance, there is a natural supply and demand that occurs within ecommerce.
However, overtime the supply curve has been growing at an unprecedented rate. This is what
we commonly reference as inflation. The reason STO was created, is to have a cryptocurrency
used for transactions that is free from tax and fees that can be utilized anywhere in the world
without any restrictions. Fiat currency is the primary form by which nearly 99% of the population
uses to complete transactions or induce trade.

I'd recommend you ditch reverse-image-search and start using http://imgops.com/.

When you search for images yandex will give you the best results in like 95% of time, then comes tineye, bing and google.

Application/website used is Amazon Rekognition (Face comparison).


Earnsbit has removed photoshopped team from their website and announcement thread, whitepaper link is inactive and fake LinkedIn profiles are gone too.

They have a long and very bad reputation of verifying incorrect information about team members for various ICO projects thus misleading potential investors. They would verify stock images, cartoons and whatnot as long as they are being paid.

Can't tell if they were a scam, I can see a daily trading volume of $1k - $7k in the brief period they were on cmc. Every other mean of communications is also suspended: twitter, facebook, multiple telegram channels.

It is better for teams to just tank and get a good draft pick instead of just barely scraping by and getting destroyed in the first round of the playoffs.

I wouldn't necessarily agree that tanking is the way to rebuild your team from this point on. Not with the readjusted draft odds.

Knicks were absolute horse shit all year long, hoping to get that number 1 draft pick - Zion, they obviously didn't. Traded away the Unicorn in hopes of signing KD - they couldn't and ended up with players like Taj Gibson and B.Portis.  Cheesy

On the other hand, Nets had an early 1st round exist, but they did all things the right way. They didn't tank, they developed their young players, they have a nice coaching staff/front office and was rewarded by landing two superstars in the off-season + DJ.

I highly doubt that a scammer had any influence over mod's decision to ban him. Afair he was banned with many other accounts in early/mid May in a huge ban wave.

I've been thinking about hilariousandco's reply for "no handled reports in the queue" and what it means. In my experience with reporting plagiarism there are three possible scenarios/outcomes:

  • 1. reported message - it gets deleted - account isn't banned
  • 2. reported message - it gets deleted - account is banned
  • 3. reported message - message is not deleted - account is banned

I don't pretend to know how SMF mod panel works but what if there was another msg reported, it was then deleted (hence no longer visible/in the queue)?

Idk i'm just thinking out loud, regardless of what happened he should be unbanned (time served), first batch of 60-days-temp-banned-accounts are getting "free" in a couple of days.
