"We just got our coins off Cryptsy. Please don't ask us how."

Bump, in case anybody missed it last night.

Also found during the same time from was connecting BitJohn is a serial scammer on this board and a very, very strong candidate for one of Paul Vernon's nyms operating a bitcoin-theme auction site, the latter needing to be dug into some more having just made the connection.

Was it you that changed Mac John's profile on his Facebook page? Funny how it happened the same time you came online.

Was I grasping at straw when I spent hours putting them two posts together pertaining to blockchain forensics? I vaguely recall you mentioning doing such, but to date nada.



Damn! Looks like Spiderman-cum-Mac John has deleted his Facebook page. I wonder if the Honorable Horus had hany hing to ho wiHt it.

Come on, Brothers. Play fair! Don't be lockin' down your Facebook pages and changin' your profiles while I'm on the hunt.

Seriously? Masonic symbol to Spiderman? Surely, you could do better than that, can't you? Is Spiderman a metaphor for "Oh, what a tangled web we weave." Or is it a metaphor for Leonard Cohen's "I'm standing on a ledge and your fine spider web is fastening my ankle to a stone."?



Somebody please confirm that one of Mac John's friends looks familiar.

"Erected to God and dedicated to the Holy Saints John."

Any Brothers wanna come out and play?

Here's my new theory: Everybody serving in the top echelon of Cryptsy is in on the heist with intent of splitting the booty.

Question: Which one of you fucks are goin' to spill the beans before I spill them for yous where ALL amnesties WILL be off the table after I start a singin'?

Seriously, dude, I honestly thought you were barking up the wrong tree after I conceded my findings, but NEVER thought ill of you, albeit I may think you're a tad too deep into the conspiracy stuff, but I wouldn't hold that against you, for I, too, lean heavily in some regards (911, Sandy Hook, Paris, few others), but don't shout out like some do, but they're needed, just like, perhaps, the likes of me, goin' on dead end tangents, but ... damn there's a lot of buts in this sentence, but hopefully you get where I'm comin' from.

I honestly believe Spoetnik's cool and not that C dude. Trust me on that. I'm always right!  

"Bruno's da man!"

If you recognize this pic, considered yourself served. HAHAHA Me writeth a double entendre.

From the OP of this thread: (I am nearly certain John MacPherson is indeed a fake name.) YOU GOT THAT SHIT RIGHT!

I'd say that Spoetnik owes you an apology, Hippy. No, not necessarily for what's depicted above, but because of the following showing usage of the same referral link (not sure how I... I mean Spoetnik missed it before).

http://trollboxarchive.com/id/8560847



It's already been established that racineraiders is owsleybeatsbigcartel et al. I'd say that it now looks highly likely that BitJohn is part of that et al., and that he's a helluva lot more than meets the eye. This dude is one badass scam artist, ergo it's imperative that we finally nail his true identity so that the community's properly warned.

Thanks, Hippy, for not letting this issue die.

EDIT: Goddamn it! Now how the fuck did I miss it being that it's in Hippy's post?

Please don't cheat by skipping to the end of this post to learnt the GREAT REVEAL, for I've put a lot of work into this post with hopes of Paul Vernon extending me a simple thank you for my efforts.  

Hopefully, I accomplished penning an easy read of laying out the facts and timeline. Please inquire of me if anything needs explaining or expanded upon.

Before I go into further detail about the four txs highlighted in the center of the pic above, I'm going take the time to depict something I've found interesting with this address, in which I'll refer to it as Cryptsy's Staging Wallet - not really hot nor cold, where some golden hair gal may opine, "It's just about right!"

Fact: This wallet address was compromised on July 29, 2014, at 08:54:46 GMT.

https://www.walletexplorer.com/txid/48721871b11f716688fcf80a91a5c7586a1dddee83d90b84b564f3f29e11504c



Fact: Paul Vernon didn't know what happened or by whom(s) by several of his accounts of the event.
Fact: Paul Vernon opted to continue funding this address at 12:42:30, a mere 3:47:44 after the event NOT knowing if this wallet address had been compromised, proof below:



Fact: The last transaction from 17oUqLHwuavYceexZg5XTJW3SWsMTJXuV was exactly 14 BTC sent to 1EzK7T326C3eU3pi4MWFDzUptg143vV4K5 on 2014-09-13 15:53:03 GMT.

Fact: 1EzK7T326C3eU3pi4MWFDzUptg143vV4K5 was created on 2014-07-29 19:24:10 GMT, exactly 6:41:40 after the event.

Fact: The reallocated 60 BTC was predominantly funded via MintPay.com: https://www.walletexplorer.com/txid/05638e948967c9cc6015153bca8a74dca3bb94a0ec8bd72eaced5e7d6d0e8ef9 (in bold)



Fact: (safely assumed) This is a highly regulated bitcoin wallet address controlled personally by Cryptsy staff (presumably Paul Vernon) oppose to being automatically funded and depleted via some preset program.

Fact: ~3.75 hours (3:47:44) after Cryptsy's reduction of funds event, 1.9998 BTC was deposited into the then-now compromised bitcoin wallet address administered by Cryptsy: https://www.walletexplorer.com/txid/52bc7d5038fad2fa4b7f8a5a9ace8ab06a138fac4d50b25b85c4429b819b6914

The 1.9998 BTC came from an address tagged MintPay.com, namely 1E3BuxDXy988aMahgYv5Wg7qLW3BLEgrx7 as seen in this tx: https://www.walletexplorer.com/txid/52bc7d5038fad2fa4b7f8a5a9ace8ab06a138fac4d50b25b85c4429b819b6914

1E3BuxDXy988aMahgYv5Wg7qLW3BLEgrx7 is notorious for funding known Cryptsy wallet addresses in their control, with myriad coins stemming from there that's now part of the infamous event's booty wallets.

https://www.walletexplorer.com/txid/297d12c144d9c5a811f1be1d9d34ce967c6e90dc38eb21e1215a8e498bd274cc



The above depicts where and when the 1.9998 BTC came from - out of the 4.9995 BTC (MintPay.com) which was funded by Cryptsy on 2014-07-29 at 08:16:57, exactly 37 minutes and 49 seconds prior to the 60 BTC being reduced via the event.

Fact: On 2014-07-28 at 21:47:45 GMT, there were 89.98 BTC in the 17oUqLHwuavYceexZg5XTJW3SWsMTJXuV bitcoin wallet address.

Fact: The gentleman or lady responsible for the event took the time to break up the 89.98 BTC into two separate reduction of funds: 60 BTC and 29.98 BTC, respectively timestamped reduced.

The 29.98 BTC was a separate transaction than the 60 BTC - https://www.walletexplorer.com/txid/e8bb46bc6ea5f4580dd2b73f5d6a116e9023c84eb7c0fd4f34bcef3aca606fad - now residing comfortably numb here: https://www.walletexplorer.com/address/1AA8YJ2DeYr99BS1PrsFKWC1p9hXT28dup (with some of the change comfortably numb here: https://www.walletexplorer.com/address/1HEQxXqk1oBFP1ikvL7WE5su5hhaqZndZ7)

Fact: With the exception of the lady or gentleman responsible for the event reducing the odd-amount 0.0961 BTC, all the withdraws were whole numbers, leaving 3.1983 BTC on the proverbial table, along with scant change per transactions, some back in Cryptsy's control, with others resting comfortably numb.

Fact: There were 59 transactions: 30 inputs; 29 outputs. Sans this transaction - https://www.walletexplorer.com/txid/400f9d02d2704869c4af55922dc5a77ab86bfd8ae1791f147fac524179c26ae8 - commencing after the event (~3 weeks), all inputs and outputs corresponded with one another (1:1).

Fact: Of the 30 inputs, 13 were of whole-numbered BTC, just like how the event dude or dudette likes his numbers. Personally, I'm fond of pi, perhaps why I'm consider an irrational mentally unstable dude in these here parts.

The Great Reveal: (hopefully, not just being melodramatic) With the exception of the first two inputs and a 10 BTC input/output time span on 2014-07-18 at 16:09:20 - https://www.walletexplorer.com/txid/c1f10a78a44536e46d89e6c76a0ee43a43e559adce32acb7a60207965c79816b - the ONLY other input that took longer than 24 hours to be processed out was of the 60 BTC making up the first reduction of funds of the event perhaps by a very remorseful lady or gentleman.

The shortest time span was of the first input/output directly after the event, followed by eight more inputs into this compromised wallet until it was no longer used by Cryptsy ~6 weeks later.

"Thank you for calling Cryptsy, Chimpsy speakin'. If you like to make a withdraw, press one. If like to make a deposit, press one twice. If you like to speak with BigVern, monkey-punch the touch-tone phone, otherwise rotor your ass off while cupping your balls and squawking like a chicken."

Full Disclosure: I've stared at this GIF for twenty minutes straight and my dick didn't hard, ergo I'm not gay... Wait, WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH ME, not that's there's anything wrong with that.

Finishing up that post now, just adding some notes and misc. Please stay tuned.

While trying to finish up that post of mine (just realized that I've been working on that bitch for over five hours now), I stumbled upon the following revelation:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=93918


1oFmWzZRF6b2kTiTrkSJ7CQZ2JnB351oH is Paul Vernon's personal bitcoin wallet address which he put his own money into Cryptsy account shortly after the event: https://www.walletexplorer.com/txid/a194258f828de2c126502e23e43f4a77f173c8ca2c783e035485d03725e0fcb9

Then, the moneys work their way to here https://www.walletexplorer.com/address/1G931u27C4gCnx6cXFM3U8Siv6QqE7Mp3s on January 15, 2016, five days ago, one day after Paul's blog post.

"Dude, don't tease me! Cup that bitch!"

You da man! Sometimes memes sneak up on you; other times you gotta grab them while fresh within reach.

Still available in aluminum cans known to cause... cause... cause Alzheimer's. (had to think for second)

<And, yes, I'm still working on my post for da great reveal... if nobody takes away my thunder first, that is.>

Good, thunderjet didn't figure out what my post is goin' to reveal, thus not yet stealin' my thunder. 

I don't believe I've ever used that posting option before now. This forum may need a sarcasm smiley/icon for the likes of me that regularly excludes denotations in posts perhaps requiring such. I have used such on rare occasions for new threads, but not just posts.
