I find the fact Avastar thought that it would fund quite funny. Nobody is about to get a 10 BTC loan after having paid back only .5 BTC - and I pointed that out in a calm, rational and non-threatening message.

Leslie was the one who funded your loan - and was rated negatively in exchange. He has been a great contributor to the community and has the respect of literally hundreds of people on the site and group. He is an upstanding individual who has exerted much effort in order to help fund a library in Gambia for children - one in so much need it literally has no electricity.

Avastar just would not accept these simple facts:

1. His attempt at essentially a 2000% credit limit increase is an obvious scam alert and not going to be funded
2. His threats of a defamation lawsuit after I informed him of the above in a calm manner were silly and destroyed his credibility with literally every single person that read the comments.
3. His posting of personal information, threatening and consistent harassment got him booted out of the group
4. His blatant posting of personal information (a direct violation of BTCjam rules) and rating Leslie negatively for investing in him got him blacklisted as he proved to be a menace
5. His continued attempts at posting other's personal info was again out of line and in breach of any standards of conduct

A lot of people make similar mistakes of trying to go up to fast on loan sizes, but when informed of the way things work on BTCjam, they listen and come back doing the right thing. Unfortunately, Avastar made a different choice, an aggressive one - and decided it would be better to fight the entire community.

"Nobody was DOXed"... Call it what you want, but Avastar kept posting people's private information and made repeated threats. Clearly he's a sour cyber-bully who thinks he can go around threatening to sue people when they don't like what they say and then goes on a tantrum when he's kicked out of proper establishments for his unacceptable behavior. To be honest, I'm somewhat glad he went off sooner rather than later, because if he had listened to my advice and opened a 1 BTC loan instead, I would have definitely funded it - and that would have been an awful investment in retrospect.

This is pure nonsense. This guy is seriously unstable. He went on a spree posting my personal information in rating's comments section on the BTCjam website (he gave negative ratings to people who loaned him money before). At first he threatened to "visit" me at my home, and then threatened me with a defamation lawsuit - all for a comment that advised him to seek a smaller loan when he asked to go from .5 BTC to 10 BTC - it wasn't rude in any way whatsoever. He kept insisting even after everyone told him that it's ridiculous and all it would achieve is a SLAPP lawsuit. Not to mention Mr. Genius deleted his own posting, including the comment - thus destroying his "evidence".

BTCjam is a great site that keeps improving. The staff listens to the users and adds the features we request most. Sure, they are a small company so they may not respond instantly at all times, but they do respond and I've never had to wait longer than I'd expect at any other website.

They are DEFINITELY not a fraud. They are 100% legitimate and they provide a valuable service. This claim is the OP's insane tantrum. QQ, guy, and get on with your life.

Yeah, that's fishy all-around. Just the look of the site has red lights going off in my head.

Anyway... Back to Yarin... Some more mugshots of our scammer:

Hello guys. I found Yarin Groiser on BTCJam and your information has been helpful in tracking him down. Appreciate the help - I will be keeping tabs on this thread, and will most likely contribute the efforts of my own research by the weekend. I fully support your actions to get to the bottom of this.
