Dude,

I think you are in the wrong business.

That sucks.

Please take a cue from the Bitconica/Bitcoin Consultancy debacle.  The longer you wait to respond to users serious concerns the more room you leave for rampant speculation.

I had a failed transaction on this site but never any fraudulent activity.

It's a slick site but unfortunately is looks like credit cards have no place in the bitcoin universe. 

Good luck.

One word "SECURITY"  (Please for the love of...)

Check your credit card statement and see where the charges came from?

My transactions did not go through but I found several $0.0 Authorization requests made by Stripe.com.

I contacted Stripe any they informed me the site that requested the transactions is http://mostvaluablevideo.com/ which was privately registered on 04-Mar-2012.

So either this guy is running his BTC sales through this site to avoid AML/KYC/other issues with his processor or he is collecting card numbers on his site and then checking them for validity on other sites before he sells them.

Hmmmm.........

8 BTC for 50 PPUSD

"Cursory"  - good choice.

And you - shad0wbitz -  have to be Zhou using another nic.  Someone see if his and Zhou's (and Bitconica' Conslutancy's??) ip's are coming from multiple aws instances.

Then post official updates on the bitcoinica website and stop half responding to the speculation that has been generated in this shit storm of a thread.
Crisis Management 101. Look it up.

So let me get this straight.  You pen test a 17 year old competitors' faulty site, fine vulnerabilities and use that knowledge to muscle your way into his business.  Then it blows up in your face and you spend 13 days crafting a carefully worded "statement" which basically establishes that you are now essentially in a pissing match with this kid.  How old are you 14?  This whole think stinks.  There are 18K BTC missing and a lot of user funds tied up with this and this is how you respond.  What a fucking disaster.  No wonder bitcoin can't establish any credibility.  Your lack of clarity and inability to take any responsibility for this situation only  serves to demolish any credibility you guys may have had in this community.

Where'd you get Russia? I was trying to figure that out. 

I had $0.00 Authorizations show up on my card from Stripe.com.  I'm waiting for a response from Stripe to see who processed that.

collecting card numbers

I've used this to buy BTC with PPUSD

It wasn't cheap.

You can also use CC

You don't need"

   curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, TRUE);

if you are setting:

   curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post_string);

It's redundant.

I've removed the app from my facebook profile.
