61  Other / Meta / knightkon spamming the lending section with "lock this thread" on: January 14, 2017, 12:16:27 AM
User knightkon has made at least 10 posts that say something along the lines of "lock this thread" with a couple of extra sentences added to each post to make it appear at first glance (if only looking at one post) that he is participating in the thread conversation.

There are at least an additional three posts in the lending section made recently by knightkon that say something along the lines of "if some condition is met, then PM and I might be able to help", however based on the high volume of posts in the lending section, and the magnitude of the changes from the original proposed terms of each loan, I find it unlikely that he has both the means and intention of filling these loans.

In 8 of knightkon's recent above described posts, the prior post was made at least two days ago, with many being made 4+ days ago, making the "lock this thread" statement both unnecessary and ironic.

The offending posts:

62  Economy / Scam Accusations / Alt of moriartybitcoin; RoooooR on: December 22, 2016, 02:19:17 AM
What happened:: Hero member "RoooooR is running a MoneyPot app DonutBit, which is advertising a scam site Torwallet.com (3hinuo4cve4pdysb.onion), which is advertising a scam "mixxer/tumber" bitcointumble.com (d5zy5343sr4gonmu.onion)

Scammers Profile Link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=177134 - RoooooR

Amount Scammed: 0/Unknown as of yet, however moriartybitcoin has scammed tens of thousands of dollars from his previous scams

Additional Notes: It is known that lenny_ and HotSwap are alts of moriartybitcoin. HotSwap has admitted to currently owning the MoneyPot app DustDice. According to MoneyPot, the owner of DustDice is MoneyPot account "HotSwap", which is also true for MoneyPot app DonutBit. The prior owner of DonutBit auctioned his app/site and the winning bidder was RoooooR.

It also looks like that RoooooR is advertising another scam site BitcoinCloudMiner.net in his signature; the [ANN] thread of this scam site was created by lenny_
63  Economy / Reputation / Vod is a violent person who should not be trusted on: September 12, 2016, 06:31:56 AM
It was somewhat recently (~3 weeks ago) brought to my attention that Vod made an implied death threat against me via the following post:

I think Quickseller really should kill himself.

It was later clarified by Vod that this post was not a joke

I really wish the guy would kill himself already

This statement is fairly clearly an implied threat, and is most likely illegal in Canada.

While these kinds of implied threats are very clearly very wrong, especially when unprovoked, I believe the community as a whole should very strongly condemn this kind of behavior, especially when then author is not simply frustrated with someone, but rather has acknowledged that he really means it when he makes these kinds of statements.



Self-moderated thread. Posts that I deem to be trolling and/or off topic will be removed by myself.

Shouldn't an unmoderated thread be in the same thread as it's sister self-moderated thread?

As far as I can tell, yes. I guess you're referring to a pair of threads in particular though.

A reply of yours, quoted below, was deleted by the starter of a self-moderated topic. There are no rules of self-moderation, so this deletion cannot be appealed. Do not continue posting in this topic if the topic-starter has requested that you leave.

You can create a new topic if you are unsatisfied with this one. If the topic-starter is scamming, post about it in Scam Accusations.

Quote
Have you looked at their lending portion of their site? 1) there is no clear way that they are able to pay interest on their deposits 2) they have a relatively large minimum deposit (.3 BTC) 3) they offer ridiculous offers to be able to take out a loan, provided that a borrower lend them at least 5 BTC over 6 months, something along the lines of being able to take out huge 10+ BTC loans (IIRC) interest free for several months, without any kind of income or asset verification (and without collateral).

The fact that they are not even using a new address for each customer, but instead ask customers to tell them what address they are sending "from" should alone set off red flags. All this is in addition to the fact they are a brand new site/company with zero history.

Anyone advertising a ponzi can write a similar disclaimer that they are not responsible if what they are advertising turns out to be a scam, that they are not responsible, on a thread that most people viewing your signature will most likely even see. This doesn't change the fact that this hypothetical person is advertising a ponzi. This also wouldn't change the fact that someone may have had their money stolen as a result of them viewing your signatures.

68  Other / Meta / Ume is evading his ban -- Was banned for begging on: June 26, 2016, 11:11:19 PM

Ban Evader's Profile Link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=512534 - lolxxxx
Reason User was Banned: Sending unsolicited PM's - begging
What happened:: While looking into a suspicious loan request, I noticed that the person asking for a loan has neutral trust indicating that they are an alt of a known banned account Ume
PM/Chat Logs:

Ok So you asked that , Yes i am the same as UME and i have never used that account again . I have sold that account to a guy i don't remember his name he scammed the guy i never did it . If you need more in depth clarification i can give you the username and pass .

And thanks for ruining my Loan request . I have just locked the thread and reporting the mod to Del it .
if you need to talk about that things over and over again i can give you all evidences by digging it and give you all the things to you . and will do everything to prove me that i am not a scammer . I have worked with 4 sites and they all trusted me with their 200$ or so , Sold a mobile phone . If you need anything more let me know .

Regards
are you also LYCAN?

First of All it was my account , I was dealing with a person and sent him the pass first and then everything happened . Then after that i have left everything and created this account and using this account.

What exactly you want from me ? every time you came and try to ruin my repo .

Can you give me a screenshot of the Ume account to prove that you are the person behind it?

The acc is banned.

Additional Notes: It looks like Ume might be an alt of Madern and there is blockchain evidence to suggest that Madern is an alt of tacoman71 who is a scammer

Scammers Profile Link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=156113

Reference Link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1418611.0 (archive)
Amount Scammed: 0.25BTC (I am owed 0.28BTC)
Payment Method: bitcoin
Proof of Payment: 03213174512b6af904cf79ca77dbc09db9d836c1af79b9d9332b8ce6fecd4600
PM/Chat Logs: I don't think they are necessary at this point. I had agreed to a series of extensions, the most recent one being '5 business days from May 5, 2016

Address to send repayment: 1amsAaEWZ4eaZgTEKgRavE4YQ2feGTAxh (this should match the GPG signed message in the referenced thread
Additional Notes: I received a series of excuses as to why payment could not be sent. I am not sure if they are true or not, although I would like to believe that they are (at least partially true). It has been several weeks since I have heard from koshgel despite multiple follow up PMs to him.

User Spondoolies-Tech is posting nothing but random, off topic pictures of dogs in this thread. These posts are attempting to derail the thread, are off topic, are no value posts, and are annoying.

I have counted 14 of these useless posts in the above thread alone all of which were posted in the last few days.

This person should be prevented from making subsequent of these off topic posts and the posts of his containing only pictures should probably be deleted.
72  Other / New forum software / Number of posts showing incorrectly, et al. on: April 19, 2016, 05:15:12 AM
When I access my account on Epochtalk the number of posts that my profile shows that I have is 27,077 verses roughly 9,000 on bitcointalk. This results in several pages of "blank"/nothing at the end (highest page numbering) of my post history.

This does not appear to be limited to myself looking at my own account. Looking at theymos's account, on bitcointalk his public post count is roughly 7,100 verses 30,862 on Epochtalk.

I suspect that the discrepancy has something to do with the number of PM's in my inbox/outbox as I have roughly 9,640 PMs in my inbox and roughly 8,960 in my outbox, including roughly 80 that I had cc'ed my QS account on. These figures plus my current post count work out to roughly 27,600. This works out to my PM + post count to be roughly 600 more then my displayed post count on Epochtalk. The PM + public post count on Panthers52 is similarly roughly 600 more then the public post count on Epochtalk, however on ACCTseller it is roughly 200 less then my public post count on Epochtalk.


I had received a PM from someone via Epochtalk, however I did not receive any kind of notification in my email associated with my account.


The "@" and the "globe" buttons at the top do not seem to do anything however they show up as being "clickable" on my computer.


I am able to change my email address without entering my password which is a potential security risk


I cannot seem to be able to reply to this thread. The button to reply to threads is very non-obvious.


It looks like if someone's username has changed then Epochtalk will only display their original username. I noticed that Blazed is showing up as blazedout419 and mitchell is showing up as bitcoininformation.


I do not automatically watch a thread after I post to it, and I do not see a "Show new replies to your posts" link.


My PM's do not appear to have transferred over in a way that I can view them.


It does not appear that the rankings of those who are legendary have transferred over (maybe this is due to the confidential nature of the formula to become legendary)

Per https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1414841.msg14337507#msg14337507 okay to move thread back to scam accusations if a scam is being claimed.
74  Other / Meta / [Meta divergence]re: Dooglus is supporting ponzis on: March 28, 2016, 03:53:33 AM
Since the discussion of moderation of a thread is automatically off topic in threads outside of meta (citation needed), and also out of not wanting to derail my other topic, I decided to create a divergence thread here regarding the issue of which section my thread belongs in.

Each person has their own philosophy on ponzis, but this is the scam accusation section. Unless you are claiming that Dooglus is directly involved in a ponzi that has already scammed people, this is the wrong section. I'd move the thread to reputation or something similar, but I'll leave it to you for a while to either make an accusation that would support this thread being in scam accusation, or move it.
First of all, it is my understanding that a theft does not actually need to occur in order to create a scam accusation, as you could accuse someone of attempting to scam. A good example of this would be this thread, which technically discusses someone who never actually scammed anyone, however I think that it is fairly obvious that person who attempt to scam others. So I think that requiring that a thread about dooglus to link him directly to something that has already scammed is unfairly specific.

My claim is that dooglus is an accomplice to a scammer because he made a tool that will help said scammer steal from others. Furthermore, the open source nature of his tool makes it difficult to determine all of the ponzis that have used the script in question.

In your redirect post, you wrote that I could edit my OP to reflect a scam, and not just a questionable moral association.

Dooglus had mentioned that he knew that the name of the operator of the ponzi he was helping as being "Kyle"
The only reason I was even looking at the script was because Klye was having problems with it. As I understood it, he was marketing his Ponzi truthfully and not attempting to steal anything from anyone. From what I've heard nobody other than Klye himself ended up out of pocket from using that script.
Kyle is also the name of MRKLYE, who gambled away 25BTC of other people's money that was intended to be some kind of investment (source), and this money was gambled at Just-Dice, which means that dooglus profited from these losses.

I could update my post to reflect that I believe that dooglus was helping a known scammer develop a tool whose only use would be to eventually steal money from others. This would further solidify my thread being a scam accusation, however I believe my thread already meets the criteria to be in the scam accusations sub.

I also could update my OP to reflect that I believe that dooglus has contributed to an unknown amount of losses/thefts by others, however I think this would be somewhat redundant.



It is the forum policy to not moderate scams, which includes not deciding what is and what is not a scam. I would argue that the question of is something a claim of being a scam should be left up to the OP of the thread, unless it is very clear that there is no such claim.
75  Economy / Scam Accusations / Dooglus is supporting ponzis on: March 27, 2016, 08:07:14 PM
Scammers Profile Link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3420

What happened:: In October 2015 Dooglus edited code for a ponzi script in order to fix some bugs with said ponzi script.

Reference Link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1216193.0;all (archive), https://github.com/dooglus/CryptoPonzi (archive) and https://github.com/dooglus/CryptoPonzi/branches (archive)

It seems that some people feel that "supporting" a ponzi in any way is considered to be scamming, and editing code for a ponzi certainly would fall under the category of "supporting" a ponzi.

Even more people are strongly against the sale of ponzi scripts and the advertising of a ponzi in their signature, which is very similar to the benefits that dooglus has provided.

Additional Notes: The ponzi in question claims to be "risk free" because if not enough people continue to "invest" in the ponzi that you will receive returns via POS staking, however this is simply not true because the CLAMs you send to the ponzi will be used to payout previous "investors" leaving nothing to stake. This means that not only was dooglus supporting a ponzi, but he was supporting a ponzi that was dishonest about the risks involved in "playing" such ponzi.


edit:
The only reason I was even looking at the script was because Klye was having problems with it. As I understood it, he was marketing his Ponzi truthfully and not attempting to steal anything from anyone. From what I've heard nobody other than Klye himself ended up out of pocket from using that script.
It seems that dooglus has admitted to knowing that the name of the operator of the ponzi in question is "Kyle" which also happens to be the name of MRKLYE. I believe that dooglus may have known that MYKYLE was behind the ponzi in question when he was helping with the code of the script in question.

Amount Scammed: unknown/TBD/may possibly increase in the future

This completes the first part of my series of the transgressions of Dooglus

It appears that the FancyHash.io forum advertisement is "breaking" out of the space that is designated for forum advertisements.

There is a white text that says "roulette" that will overlap the thread title in the 2nd post of each page this advertisement is displayed.
