 You have no idea how much you have helped me out here. You have just confirmed some of the information I already had about this scammer. I received lots of information from kind-hearted people who were either scammed by this serial scammer Dean Nolan or were not involved with him but had details about him but most of it could not be corroborated. All of it was sent privately in email or PM but you have openly added the above information here. Many thanks for your bold action, I am very grateful. Now things will get interesting, scammer Dean Nolan is going to have to give answers to law enforcement officers. Let us see if that alleged army of accountants and lawyers (he mentioned to Game-Protect) that he uses actually exist because he will need a lot of help getting out of what the law officers will be asking him. I am still looking for more email/skype correspondence screenshots and confirmation of any email other addresses this scammer has used in the past. This is quite important. I have mentioned in the past your name will not be released in public, if you help out in any way your details will remain confidential or better still if you are bold please post openly here in this thread such as in the way tmfp did above. Please help me in getting this scammer to be interviewed by law officers, hopefully he will be arrested then questioned and then charged with fraud or at the very least he might avoid jail but hopefully will be stripped of all his assets (wherever he tried to hide the siphoned ICO funds) and he will suffer in the same way innocent investors did when they were stripped of their funds after being duped in to sending their hard earned crypto to this serial scammer.

Bounty participants received only 1% of all tokens, not 5%.
When I log in, my tokens are there indeed. But what good does that do me without buy backs?
I hold about $700 worth of tokens. I didn't sell them earlier as it was supposed to be a hedge against Bitcoin price drops, given their stable dollar value.
Please tell me how I can sell them at the advertised dollar value.
I strongly suspect Dean is actually insolvent. The supposed reason he wanted me to buy a large quantity of BKB him, was so that he could increase his long exposure to btc price, and that was just before the price crashed even more. When ever I asked him about using any sort of escrow structures or proving his funds, he would come up with bizarre (and sometimes contradictory) excuses. Fast forward a few days, and he was willing to trash his reputation to screw Dan on a 2 BTC license fee (even after having raised millions of dollars for supposed costs). Tries to raise more money with a half-baked ICO. Then he goes on to screw investors with the buy-back cancelation, and now players with the prize cancellation. This is the most plausible theory I've read. Just less than 16 months ago the scammer Dean Nolan raised over 1000 BTC, over 4600 ETH and over 850 LTC. That was over $6.5 million at the time. The scammer Dean Nolan raised: over $4.8 million in BTC over $1.6 million in ETH over $66,000 in LTC He would have to be an even bigger scammer, be an even bigger failure and be even more pathetic than I could have even imagined if he is now insolvent. This is what the scammer wrote about using funds: " After the crowdsale at least 50% of the funds raised will be used for the house bankroll that players bet against and winnings are paid from. The remaining funds will be used for marketing, promos, seo, design, development, server costs and legal." The former is an out and out lie because 50% of the ICO funds (which amounted to 500 BTC and 2250 ETH and 425 LTC) did not go towards bankroll. The latter is highly ambiguous because the individual costs were not estimated however it was deliberately worded that way because the scammer Dean Nolan wanted any excuse to divert funds to his own back pocket under the guise of "marketing, promos, seo, design, development, server costs and legal." There was no development, no work done on the website, nothing apart from adding and removing plugged-in affiliate software from sportsbook and livetable. This scammer tried to sell his failing betking website on several occasions before closing down, having the ICO and re-opening with the same identical website because that was the only way he could get-rich-quick. Does anybody know why the Crypto Gambling Foundation logo and accreditation no longer appears in the betking scam website? |

Yeah, not paying out a promotion like this is pretty dishonest. How is anyone supposed to believe any future promotions the site offers when they are simply cancelled like this for no reason.
If the money wasn't there to run a promotion like this, why even do it in the first place? Attempt at free advertising? All it does is hurt the site's credibility. There is hardly any credibility of the betking website or Dean Nolan remaining. You ask the question why did the scammer Dean Nolan run this promotion if he could not cover the winnings. Only he could answer that but nobody believes anything that he writes anyway, he is completely dishonest and has been exposed as a serial scammer. |

He also proceeded to say I'm not a legit player for only betting during competitions and investing to "further reduce my edge". It's not my fault he made the competition so ridiculously +EV. Honestly that should already have ringed my bells. He also forgot how I bet $10k on a single bet on his dice game a while back when there was no competition. With cheese you catch mices and with greed you catch dumbasses!  It must be news that Dean Nolan is a scammer? If it is too difficult to put "betking scam" into google, please pay the price! You might expect newbies to search online for scam betting websites but people who have been around for sometime and have used betking in the past gave scammer Dean Nolan the benefit of the doubts. They did not believe he would scam them. To allude that anybody who got scammed by betking and Dean Nolan somehow are "greedy" or "deserve it" is not an appropriate thing to say. You do a lot of good work trying to expose scammers, please keep up the good work but please do not blame those being scammed for being duped. Thank you. |

THIS WAS ONE OF THE GREATEST SCAM EVER.
I WAS SKEPTIC OF HIM GIVING 20BTC COS I KNOW DEAN IS NOT THAT GENEROUS. I NEVER KNEW HE HAD A SELFISH PLAN TO LURE INOOCENT PLAYERS AS USUAL. WHEN THE CONTEST STARTED, MANY BIG PLAYERS WHERE NOT THERE. BUT 4 HOURS TO THE END OF THE CONTEST, VERY BIG BETS STARTED POPPING UP. QUESTION NOW IS. WHERE WHERE ALL THESE PLAYERS DAYS BEFORE THE CONTEST.
CONCLUSION: DEAN LURED GUYS TO PLAY, RIGGED THEM OF THEIR CASH, THEN USED HIS BANROLL TO PLAY AD KICK OFF ALL WINNERS.
BE SMRTER NEXT TIME SCAMMER I could not have put it better myself. You are absolutely right, scammer Dean Nolan had a plan to lure innocent newbies or gullible players on to his scam betking website. The reason he cancelled the Christmas wager and refused to pay over 20 BTC to the legitimate winners was because he was not happy so many people won so many BTC and he did not want to pay them. |

Scammer Dean Nolan and his "newbie" friend posting a pro-betking post but make no mention of the more than 20 BTC they scammed out of paying last week in the Christmas wager  Saying "no one lost money" when you canceled a 20 BTC promo and paid out nothing is some next level Trump-like twisted logic right there. Dean takes things so personally and then lies about having "answered" questions when all he replied with was insults towards other people with no substantive details. The lack of self awareness and pragmatism is embarrassing. Dean got blessed with the opportunity of a lifetime, being in *perfect* position to take over the dice market when Dooglus abruptly closed Just-Dice and Dean was the only "known/trusted" person out of a small handful of operating investor-style dice sites, allowing him to explode overnight after struggling for years operating a poker site that no one played at (and had horrible buggy software). After winning the lottery, Dean was again blessed by having his site run at 200% EV and being able to ICO for an amount double what the actual EV was, despite traffic dropping considerably in the ~year leading up to the ICO when people started abandoning his website following many bone-headed and borderline scammy decisions (BAC affiliate comes to mind) and repeatedly trying to sell the website to private buyers (no one offered him much). I'm STILL baffled to this day that his ICO raised as much as it did. I tried vociferously to warn people on here and Reddit they were lighting money on fire. This apparently fell on deaf ears, although I hope it helped as least one person. Bottom line, Dean has operated on the border of being scammy while barely avoiding crossing it for awhile now since the ICO and his business has fallen apart. He was able to extract money from ill-informed investors and scoop up a windfall of ICO profit, but that will likely be the last money grab he will ever be able to make (hopefully people have learned their lesson, but who knows). Dean is a subpar coder and a horrible businessman who lied to ICO investors - or didn't follow through on many promises made in the ICO, if you don't want to say he's a "liar" - and the recent performance of Betking is indicative of that. Well during the ICO I was also warning people here (not Reddit) but my voice along with others that warned was drowned out by many of the avatar displaying and bounty seeking users the majority of which posted nothing but propaganda that was until the time the bounty was over, then all the bounty participants that threw abuse at those of us that warned about the scam betking ICO decided to move on to other bounties and projects leaving scammer Dean Nolan to deal with opposing voices alone. It was then scammer Dean Nolan threw his toys out of his pram and spat out his dummy throwing tantrums instead of answering questions. You might have been baffled about the ICO funds raised but I was not. The scammer was using the "7400 Bitcoin profit in 24 months" and the "6000 BTC bankroll" figures thrown around in an extremely shady manner which suggested customers would be getting shares of thousands of BTC with each payout and each buy-back worth hundreds. He obviously failed to disclose the private conversation you had with him (now displayed on Reddit: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4913034.0) and he also failed to declare that he tried to sell the betking website for a long time but failed so closed the betking website in 2016 and arranged the ICO. Scammer Dean Nolan also failed to declare the purpose of the ICO was to line his own pockets as it would have got him more than the amount he was hoping to sell the betking website for in the first place. He re-launched the identical website post-ICO with no real work done it. It was a get-rich-quick scheme. What a low-life scammer Dean Nolan is. Unlike you I would not call scammer Dean Nolan a sub-par coder because he could not differentiate between a line of HTML and PHP. I call a scammer a scammer and a liar a liar - which is exactly what Dean Nolan is. I did not know the history of how scammer Dean Nolan and his pocketrocketcasino or betking got "big" thanks to Just-Dice closing down, maybe that was 2013/14? Regardless, it is clear scammer Dean Nolan had an opportunity to occupy a vacated space with honesty and integrity but the scammer Dean Nolan decided to be a thief instead. |

I was one of the people who participated the competition and to be fair this isn't what I expected from Dean. I was actually confident he would honor his promise for once and handle the competition fairly but instead he goes ahead and cancels the whole thing. As someone who's been around for a long time and seen how Dean handles things, this is by far the closest I have gotten to being screwed by him directly.
I don't believe there was any abuse done at all. Especially because Dean refused to give me any sort of clarification (even privately).
I also believe besece is Dean. He used a similar argument with me that every previous leaderboard has forbidden multi-accounting as well as that pokerstars doesnt reveal how or who abused something to justify his action. Then he told "I don't even know the reason it was cancelled". To me leaving multi-accounting out of the question (which was also not clearly forbidden) leaves very few ways users could actually have cheated.
He also proceeded to say I'm not a legit player for only betting during competitions and investing to "further reduce my edge". It's not my fault he made the competition so ridiculously +EV. Honestly that should already have ringed my bells. He also forgot how I bet $10k on a single bet on his dice game a while back when there was no competition.
That probably doesn't even cover all the reasons why I'm still upset. I thought he would make things right this once. Too much to ask for I guess.
Rant over.
Yes you are right, the user "besece" is definitely scammer Dean Nolan. The fool gave his sock-puppet account away. Many people have been saying for a very long time that this scammer cannot be trusted and that he should not be trusted but that scammer Dean Nolan was making a fool out so many people. He was a shrewd operator who was having regular chats on skype with other gambling/gaming site operators so he felt protected. As they were "bigger" fish he did not want to mess them about and played the long game pretending to be a trustworthy companion and colleague as a fellow website operator. It was during that time scammer Dean Nolan started playing a game of selective scamming when he started to steal from affiliates. Slowly as time went by scammer Dean Nolan became more and more bold by expanding his scams. Now his list of scams include: 1) the 2017 ICO investors he scammed 2) the 2013 onwards affiliates he scammed 3) the licenced software owners he scammed 4) the customers he enticed to participate in the 50 BTC Jackpot scam before cancelling without notice and scamming them 5) the customers he enticed to participate in the 2018 Christmas wager before scamming them I am sorry to read about your valid grievances and complaints against scammer Dean Nolan and his betking website but with all the evidence mounted against this scammer it does make me wonder you even thought about playing on the betking scam website. Maybe it was the final let-down you needed from scammer Dean Nolan before accepting that you would never use betking again or be involved in his future "bitsafe" scam exchange project. Maybe you gave him the benefit of the many doubts and now there is no need to give any more benefits of any doubt. Here is a blatant scammer who wants to raise $10 million in an ICO for his next project called "bitsafe". He cannot be trusted with a simple Christmas wager that resulted in him having to pay over 20 BTC to legitimate winners so how can this scammer be trusted with $10 million for an exchange that has already be created by low-cost hourly paid coders from the Philippines and one that is designed to do exactly what he did with the betking ICO and its $6.5 million ICO funds. The aim of this scammer is to get rich without doing any coding and without doing any work. He cannot code a single line so hires cheap workers. He misused the funds from the betking ICO to line his own pocket because 50% of the ICO funds did not go to the bankroll. The tokens, the set up, the payout, the profit distribution, the whole thing was misused and that scammer Dean Nolan lined his own pockets. As per the ICO promises he was supposed to pay for the creation of new games but all he did was add livetable.io plugins. All the broken promises of the ICO. Here was a scammer that claimed he gave 1 BTC a day between 1st Dec 2017 and 25th Dec 2017 to good causes and charity but this scammer did not pay the 2 BTC licence fee to use the Crash software owned by Bustabit. Add to that the 20+ BTC he has declined to pay out to legitimate winners in the past week 2018 Christmas wager because he did not expect to pay out that much so he cancelled all bets. Pathetic scammer Dean Nolan and his betking website. I have compiled a whole list of complaints against this scammer and am doing a little more work on research then will ask the law enforcement officers in his country to investigate. This pathetic scammer should not be allowed to get away with this even if his shambles of a betking website is registered in Costa Rica. |

back soon beegman The scam betking website was down for over 24 hours before coming back online. Not that it means so much to customers of betking because they are fleeing in droves what was left of them. What was it that was being peddled at the end of 2018 before the plug was pulled because of lack of funding: "The betking website is being phased out and transitioned in to "bitsafe" with all tokens being called BTSC tokens as we want to move away from the gambling industry" Nobody in their right mind would help funds $10 million for a scam bitsafe ICO. Scammer Dean Nolan will target newbies and gullible investors but long before that time comes hopefully my case file will be with the law enforcement agencies and scammer Dean Nolan will not be able to scam again. |

As usual no one in this forum has any idea what they are talking about including Ryan with his snarky comments.
Yet, you make no attempt of actual clarifying. Everyone posting about BKB when they don't know how many tokens I've bought back or own or how many people were happy to switch already to the new project or any actual internal running of the business.
Seems kind of irrelevant? You massively screwed BKB holders, I believe some investors were selling their BKB tokens at < 20% of their "buy back" price after you renegged on your promises. Even if a small amount of people were screwed, the fact is you still screwed your investors. (I also have a hard time believing it was an insignificant amount, or why would you even ruin your name over it?) Now we have people jumping to conclusions about the prizes and talking about multi accounting.
Where did I say the contest was cancelled only because of multi accounting?
You do realize that this is a forum? You can post your justification for the pretty insanely drastic action of reverting all the bets and not giving out the promised prizes? Complaining that no one one understands your reasons and refusing to provide them isn't exactly a good look. It's stupid for anyone to call it a scam when no one at all loses money.
Only need to see the posters though, 2 actual participants have posted and zero investors and zero token holders. Just trolls and haters. Pathetic.
I also know you're well-aware you have seriously disadvantaged some players with your bet/prize reversal. I talked to someone in private who is in this bucket as they should've won a significant amount from the wagering contest. kolloh from this forum (who did post) also appears to have been similarly been harmed. Considering your should've paid out 20 BTC + 50% EV (??) in prizes, but net player loss during Dec was pretty minor -- it's rather obvious the only reason you did the reversal is because you end up with a lot more money in your pocket than if you didn't. I'm really trying to be charitable here considering your long history in the bitcoin world, but I have trouble seeing what you're doing as anything other than first scamming investors and now your players. Please correct me if I'm wrong, as I'd really like to be. A very interesting read. The scammer Dean Nolan has decided to cancel paying out over 20 BTC to winners of last weeks Christmas wager promotion because too many people won and he would have to give away too many BTC. He decided he did not want to do that so he cancelled all bets. The serial scammer pathetic fool Dean Nolan has outdone himself with this one... again  |

 Well here is another masterpiece from failed businessman and semi-successful scammer. Scammer Dean Nolan just sent me this PM He deletes any post from his censored betking thread that exposes his scam but then sends PMs. This is the fool that scammed winners out of more than 20 BTC a week ago in the Christmas wager because he was unhappy that so many people won, he expected fewer people to win so instead of paying up he decided to cancel all bets |
|
|
|
This is the PM scammer Dean Nolan just sent me. The scammer Dean Nolan deletes my posts from his censored betking thread and locks it to stop others posting the truth about betking scam but he sends PMs. This is the same scammer that did not payout more than 20 BTC to winners of the betking Christmas wager because he did not expect that many people to win and did not expect he would lose out on paying more than 20 BTC so he decided to cancel all bets and not pay the 20+ BTC that was won by betking customers. Pathetic fool.

"Threats to inflict bodily harm" against me is locked now ....that their attempt to oblige the administrator to permaban me end up with the failure ... thank you for information again...it's easiest to attack someone behind the back without being able to defend The lying OP of that thread (naska21) said you "apologised and your apology was accepted" therefore the thread was locked. I think he must be heavily involved in the Minexsystem/Minexcoin/Minexpay scam and probably suffered huge losses like his best friend temhuk who mortgaged his property to get money to put in to Minex, therefore he just wanted to create some problems for those of us that are trying to expose these evil scammers at Minex. |

I doubt that the domain belongs to them, if it is available surely anybody can register it because it belongs to nobody. In this case I doubt "Bustabit" is an actual registered trademark though it is a trading name used by the owners. |

I received some information stating that scammer Dean Nolan is from Europe. If that is true it would be quite easy to locate the contact details of the legal authorities there to ask them to investigate this sick pathetic scammer.
Unfortunately I also received information that he is from another part of the world, I need confirmation from anybody who has any information which would help me report this scammer in the country of his residence for fraud.
Anybody who has any information that might be useful to take legal action against scammer Dean Nolan can please contact me, I will not reveal your name to anybody. Thank you.

The fact the devs have been trying to fix a so called bug with the bounty participants for months now is a reason I am staying away from this ICO. At first the bounty participants got weekly stakes than suddenly it stopped and the support in telegram has been copy pasting the same sentence for months now. How can they even build a blockchain if they can't fix a simple "bug" in the bounty forum? Or perhaps they are just going to scam the bounty participants and use an instabuy function to sell the bounty tokens. The scam will unfold in the coming days and weeks, we will all see what happens to the outstanding bounties. As you stated, if these clowns cannot even "fix" a bug in the bounty payouts and calculations how can they build a blockchain? |

I just had this post deleted from the censored "official" Minexcoin thread: How many cards have been ordered so far and how many of them are now being shipped? Zero cards have been sent in the names of the people that sent their ID. As for the number of UAB KRISTOLINIS DUGNAS company Upaycards that are not Minexpay branded, they might not answer that question. Calm your tits a bit. I never asked for minexpay branded did I? I have been following Minex since ICO so I know everything what was said in old thread, this thread and the new modded thread. There are a bunch of people in Telegram posting pictures of shipping confirmation. Just wondering how many people are going to get Upaycards. One of the scammers who is in cahoots with the Minex team (Racquemis1) and operates a couple of pools added a link: https://minexpool.eu/cards/He sometimes says the information is estimated and sometimes says it is incorrect, sometimes says it is correct. Just depends on his mood as to which lies or version he tells but the URL above is still working. |

 Here we are after at 6.05pm and well over 24 hours after the scam betking website went down it is still not up and running Scammer Dean Nolan has not even updated the now locked betking "official" thread. His last post ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5023833.msg49036517#msg49036517) was at midnight when he wrote: "Sorry for the delay. We will be back online tomorrow." |
