With respect, I don't know who is who.  All I know is what is what.  Money has been taken, no ACTUAL recovery plan has been announced until AFTER the dox.  Which mean that a recovery isn't going to happen; he's just buying time to figure out a way to buy one of those private jet flights on a DNM to get out of the country before the heat hits.  Well, none of that is going to happen by Jan 15th.... the only thing that he has a chance of completing by Jan 15th is an actual LEGITIMATE recovery plan either laid out in full, or we start seeing our payments increased or refunded.  If that doesn't happen, like I said:  I don't deal with local police with limited Jurisdiction.  I deal with investigative journalists that aren't bound by locations.  I deal with people who bring awareness to issues that get Federal, even Global police involved to track someone down.

If you choose this path of evasion and try to hold on to the money; I hope you stole enough, I hope you used your OWN mixing service; because there is nowhere you will be able to hide within the western world where you won't be found.  If you chose this path, all I can say is have fun with your BTC in Syria and DPNK.  Please understand, I don't care about my invested money...  I make enough.  But If you did infact scam all of these people, I know who you are, and now you know who I am.  I'm giving you fair warning.

What the hell kind of cozy questions are these?  No.  You need REAL investigative journalists... you know... the ones that used to be lawyers and are completely detached from this site and the community all together.  linking me to an online interview is, I'm sorry, quite laughable.

Then again, having this story hit the Associated Press, will also be quite laughable.

Screw the Police.  

I don't mind being Dox'd because I haven't done anything wrong, save for being dumb enough to put too much faith in everyone and giving them the benefit of the doubt.  But I refuse to change my ways due to the fact that this attitude is more powerful that simply thinking you're smart enough to avoid the scams.

Let me tell you a Story,

Once upon a time; there was a dumb 27 year old Florida Gators fan that went nuts during their haydays, and always went out drinking when his team played important in conference, or rivalry games.  

Well, one time, this person drove home drunk and paid the price with a DUI

5 years later, this same person decided to google his own name and was shocked to see that there were scam artists JUST LIKE the owners of PB mining; that wrote simple powershell scripts to scrape mugshot photos from police websites, and then indexed them on google (where the police websites were protected from the search spiders by bot scripts).  

In fear, This now 32 year old paid $400 to have his mugshot taken down, in fear that someone in his job would see it, possibly affecting his career.  

Upon paying this $400, the image was IMEDIATELY removed; when the site said it would hire a crack team of lawyers to remove the image.  Now, this person may make dumb decisions, but he knows enough to know that a legitimate legal process takes more than 5 mins.

So he started doing some research and was SHOCKED to find out that kids as young as 14 years old were being subjected to this humiliation, and the potential destruction of any job prospects if nothing was done.

So, this person decided to put his contacts into motion.

1.  Wired magazine in order to hit the AP:  http://www.wired.com/2011/08/mugshots/

5.  Once you get a few Statewide debates going... you go for the kill:

     https://www.google.com/search?q=New+York+Times+Mugshot+websites&btnG=Search&hl=en&gbv=1

6  (side note) I move back to Florida and immediately the pinellas county sherriff stops publishing mugshots lol.  guess he wanted my vote over the headache... which he got.


Bottom Line is, these scammers don't fear the law.... They fear AWARENESS.  I am a platnium member of the Electronic Fronteir Foundation:  I have a great job and have plenty of money to play with... I don't play dirty, But I play hard.  

So, PBmining... I don't mind being Dox'd as I don't care what people know about me; as long as I'm trying to do the right thing and help other people who have been wronged in the same way I have.  How many kids signed up for your service?  did you do enough to verify their age?  How many elderly people did you swindle out of their savings.  

I have David Kravetts on Speed dial, I am also good friends with David Segal's (NY Times) brother Mark.  Here are my stipulations; which, I find to be more than fair given your initial post:

 Post your Plan for recovery by Jan 15th or I press my speed dial buttons.

You know where to reach me.  P0intGame@safe-mail.net    go ahead and search for that email on your website.

I just registered on this site because of the pbmining situation, and because it's hard as hell to register through TOR. Had to set up my own exit node.  

I have almost 4000Ghz invested, so the notion that "those who sustained substantial losses" will be taken care of first... I find this false.

My username here is the same on pbmining, I had it hidden but I'll uncheck the box to show that I'm near the top in GHz invested.  I started in September / October.. so yea.. my losses are pretty damn substantial.

I have received no communication, no refund to my BTC address.. Nothing.  

I'll be sure to post back and apologize if PB mining makes good on their promise... but so far all I get is automated email responses that they're a failing business blah blah blah.

I would happily take back my harsh criticism if the promises are made good on, because in this day in age; money is much more valuable that pride.  But until then... NEVER do business or believe a single word from these scam artists.  I was dumb enough to have be had, but I'm not dumb enough to get strung along.  Not that 8 grand is going to bankrupt me... it's the principle. And if you don't thing I have the resources to hire lawyers and investigators to dig you out of whatever hole in whatever country you're hiding in, whether or not Boyko is your real name or not; you're sorely mistaken.  Iceland? lol   c'mon.  I go there for museums built in volcanic ash.. not for data centers .
