Not sure how far this is feasible. But I got an idea.
How about us all contacting all the mining pools and ask them not to confirm the transactions that spend coins from the escrow addresses unless the coins are sent to the real owners.
For example, we ask them to confirm the transaction which spends the coins from 18PJHZTTPvcWrpBMnFStgyuphpvuwTgT3k to 1QF1Eo1mXv7M93FuntAHuiSGx2wkpxqJem. This is so because that address was given to me via master-P to me for escrow for a trade. Only such transaction will be confirmed.
This will at least temporarily force him to refund the money. I need some opinions from people before this happens. Imo thats impractical. Youre forgetting about the solo miners here  They are like 0.1-1%, if that happens, then its inevitable. But most big pools can do this. |

It's not a good idea... bitcoin is decentralized so you can't ask pools or some exchanges to not confirm or accept a TX.
It's surreal !
True. But sometimes, you need to bend the rules to get some shit done. I just wanted to know if this can be done. |

How a pool prevent adding a transaction on a pool? It is illegal maybe or impossible for miners?
Mining pool owners can basically control transactions. |
|
|
|
Not the pools, you have to tell all exchange service where BTC-USD is done. For example, coinbase, localbitcoins etc.
Shouldn't we cut the source of the problem instead? |

Quoting to make sure the message is received. Master-P, I am giving you until January 1st to return the entirety of the held coins. If they are not returned I will publicly release your dox at my earliest convenience any time on or after the 1st.
Thanks for doing this. I appreciate your decision. It's a good mixture of human values and severe threat.  |

The funds haven't been moved from any of the addresses. Can't even decide if it's a good sign or a bad one.

I messaged escrow.ws about removing Master-p from his trust tree. Somebody do the same.
I guess I will call him via phone tomorrow. I know him personally and ask him to do so. |

All you self-righteous assholes can suck a bag of dicks. Its real easy to sit on the sidelines and criticize others, but what have you done to help this community? I have been here since 2011, and I sure as fuck have paid for my attempts to point out corruption around here (even when staff are involved), but none of you self-righteous slits were there then backing me up were you? I don't owe you or this community anything, so you can just get in line with the rest to go fuck yourself with your judgements and condemnations. Maybe next time I will just keep it to myself and you idiots can scour the net for his details yourself.
(P.S. Hey geniuses, releasing some ones DOX means you end any leverage you have over a scammer. I am giving him an opportunity to make this right and return the coins before doxing him, but keep judging people morally, it will take you places.)
I agree with the PS part especially. It's not even 12 hours since this thread was started. And the coins are pretty much in their addresses still. So, there's still a small hope. PS: I am also a victim of this. I have 3 BTC stuck with master-P. |

You are wrong, and I will be the one to prove it.
Good luck on that. I guess, you already proved that. But none of the above things are a solution to him. I'd there any way the victims can get their coins back from him. Any way of tracking him down? |
|
|
|
I meant forget about it in the sense that no Dox will be published and no further actions will be taken.
But in any case, a bad impression will surely be left and no one would ever trust him. It takes a long time to gain reputation, a split second to lose it. |

I personally believe any of you who have information of this man and are withholding or are trying to sell the info are no better than the scammer. It like youre saying hey you morons just lost a boatload of cash but lose a little more n help me out n ill give you his info. Very sad that the community doesnt come together to help one another. Shows how selfish this whole community actually is and how pathietic ppl really are
I agree. No real efforts are being made by any one except the one's who were scammed. If you got the info, then reveal it, why hide it? Is it a treasure or something? |

Guys, you have nothing to worry about! Quickseller has told me that bought accounts are not used for scamming, and default trust accounts aren't sold anyhow, so that's out. Just to stay on the safe side tho, always use trusted escrow, like Quickseller suggests. One of the Big 5, preferably  Do you even know what's going on here? We all used an escrow service, and the service provider fucked us over. Stop talking shit, bloody noob. You mean... You did everything the confirmed escrow scammer suggested, and still got surprise buttsecsed?!  Color me surprised!  Like seriously? Brand new members are so interested in scam accusations. Lol... |

This will really affect the trusted persons and escrows of this forum. Bcoz of this types of members, other peoples who wants to use the middleman, will think alot while doing any deal with other escrows or will not trust other too .
Instead, now a manual verification of anyone who wants to provide a escrow service should be made mandatory. Anyone who wants to provide such service should make their true identity and all their personal information public. Else, in such situations like this, there is hardly any chance to recover things. |

I hope you get your money back, same as everyone caught up in this horrible mess.
I think master-p and/or the new account owner are doing some serious thinking right now and wondering if the hell that's about to be unleashed on them is actually worth what they could steal.
I just hope for the best for all of us who have their money stuck. And unleashed? Nothing's being unleashed I guess. No matter what, our bitcoins will be still be with them. Your opinion is highly appreciated, please let me know. |

Well master-p account was sold and has scammed a significant amount of BTCs, might as well remove him from the list
I too had 3BTC on the escrow. Crying like a kid now. |
|
|

But the bitcoin is still in the Address , i hope you get your coins back , master-p was active few hours ago . Yeah, I see that and that's the only small light of hope left. |
