Hi all,

Seeking a quick turnaround loan of 0.05 BTC which will be returned within 24 hours.  My funds are on hold in Coinbase and are set to be released and made available for withdrawal in one more day.

I need the funds to cover some business operating expenses.  I'm a cryptonoob so if anyone can advise on the best way of proof? 

[Loan Term:]

Hi all,

I’m new to this forum obviously but longtime lurker of the forum and crypto believer.  I messaged @Tman earlier and asked that my message me private, however, after reviewing what I wrote I don’t think that there’s any harm in publicly sharing.

For sake of time and my thumbs as I’m on my cellphone right now, Please see the message below.  And for the TLDR:

Loan Term: 60 Days - TBD
Loan Amount Requested: 0.6 BTC to ~500BTC (See Message for Details re Litigation Funding)
Collateral: Real Identity, Attorney License Info (State Bar Licensing Authority), Legal Services, and open to suggestions.  Bigger amount of BTC might work out for a share of expected return in amount of attorneys fees). Also have approximately 3 ETH that’s stuck in Coinbase for 48hours.
Timing: ASAP - 48 Hours (due to payment deadlines)

Level of Legitness: 100%
Chance this is a Scam?: 0% (lols I had a good time reading some of the other requests here.  This is not a “my mother is dying pls send 100btc” type request.

For those interested in an opportunity to invest/fund cases for a percentage share, please feel free to PM me and I’ll be more than happy to discuss with you and provide details (to the extent possible without the need for signing NDAS if you oppose such).

Otherwise, thanks for stopping by and reading this post... I am prepared for the roasting and hate but really though just a young individual looking to expand a business and sincerely looking for help here (and not to mention a huge believer in bitcoin and crypto as a whole).

Damn my post was long lol, but without further ado please see original message to TMAN:

“Hi Tman:

Nice to meet you on the forums.  This is going to be a bit of a beg/sob story but hopefully will come across more as a honest and sincere request for help.  I am a new user to the forums but not that new to crypto and the like. 

A bit about me - I live in the USA and am an attorney that is actively practicing and still fairly new to the profession - graduated in 2016. 

I recently started my own law firm and have been doing well for the half year or so that I’ve been running on my own.  However, I recently have hit some hard times with the holidays coming and many clients slowing down etc.  I have several ongoing cases that will be sure to provide a decent sum but will need some time to complete (as the US legal process is verrrry slow if you are familiar). I am happy to provide real life info / verification if need to be to this extent.

Long story short, business was doing great and I’ve been expanding. I recently signed a lease for bigger space in the office I’m renting out in a large office building and have also hired two employees to help with cases and other secretarial duties etc.

I now find myself in dire need of a loan and due to my fascination with crypto and belief in the whole idea of it, like the idea of it and hence this request for funding. 

I now need approximately 0.6 BTC to cover rent and business expenses, and importantly payroll for my new employees. I am expecting to receive approximately 3000 usd in the next week or so from client bills.

One thing that may be of more interest to you is litigation financing or funding, and the practice of it has increasingly grown in the last few years.  Essentially a loan for the outcome of a case paid back by monies that would be owed to the lawyer as attorneys fees. 

I have a rather a couple of rather high profile cases currently ongoing, with one case expected to have a rather large attorneys fees award (rough rough estimate of 2-5 million USD) however, of course this needs more time and is still ongoing.

Anyways, if this is something that you would be open to helping out with, at the very least consider doing perhaps as a good hearted investment and law firm financing attempt, please let me know.

In terms of collateral, I don’t have much crypto available right now except for approx 2.5-3 eth that is on Coinbase and the funds are not yet ready for withdrawal.  I can probably provide some real life collateral but I hope that my ability to provide real life info and stand by any verification process that you might need to consider, will be enough for now.

Again, I’m happy to provide any verification info needed and am not opposed to it given the nature of my profession and the fact that I am an honest borrower here that has really hit some tough times.  I’m not a scammer by any means.. just a normal guy that needs help and has scoured most if not all of the traditional fiat lending avenues.

I trust that you will keep the contents of this message confidential, but of course I am not opposed to publishing the loan basics online if need be.  I’m more than happy to work out something with you and sincerely appreciate your serious consideration and quick attention to this matter (as payroll and rent are soon to be delinquent and I can’t buy any more time).

Look forward to hearing back from you soon.  You’re quite literally the only and last hope I have left of making this situation right.

Regards,

E.”
