1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [ANN] [DVC] ASCMDVCPT Cryptostock Investment on: April 23, 2014, 03:03:23 PM
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=488669.60 this security flaw is kind of massive as well, again more reasons why I am shutting up shop and turning my back on vircurex, cryptostocks and Kumula.

Kumala should be ashamed of himself.  Not only did he steal coins from accounts, he stole trade funds in late March in mid-transaction.

I moved some coins into Vircurex to trade them in late March and couldn't get them back.  I don't store coins on Vircurex so the whole in-and-out should have taken a few minutes.  Kumala claimed there was a technical error he was fixing but then he froze (stole) my coins.  He promised to make up his losses without affecting user accounts then went back on his word.  He claimed he was fixing a technical withdrawal issue and stole those funds too.  That second lie costs me a lot of money and heartache.  Here's why:

My autistic son will be graduating from high school in June.  It has been such a long journey for us and we are very proud he has made it.  My wife and I asked him what he wanted as a graduation gift and he said he'd like a cruise to Alaska.  Normally we could never afford that trip but I had enough cryptocurrency to just swing it.  I tried to trade the coins on Vircurex so I could monetize them.  Instead, Kumala stole them from me.  I've tried everything to get him to return them and he won't even respond to me.  Monday, I saw Kumala unfroze .00026808 LTC of my total of 450 LTCs.  I guess I was fooling myself thinking somehow I may get my coins but now I know I won't.  My wife recently cancelled our trip and today I told my son we can't go because someone stole the money. He was heartbroken and I was humiliated.  I'm now selling all of my mining equipment in the hope of raising some cash for a more modest trip.

I don't need sympathy and I certainly don't need people telling me it's my own fault for trading on Vircurex.  I just want people to know (especially Kumala) that what he did had real consequences for people.  Does Kumala realize when he steals people's coins it could effect their lives? 

I'm beyond upset now.  I'm heartbroken that he could be so callous as to steal people's wealth with no regard to how he is hurting them.

Vircurex is alive, well and - slowly but surely - recovering.

I wish this was true but I'm afraid you have no idea what Kumala has done to some people.

I've been pretty angry regarding what Kumala did but now I'm just heartbroken.  All I did was move some coins into Vircurex to trade them in late March and couldn't get them back. I only move coins to an exchange to trade then I retrieve them immediately.  Kumala claimed there was a technical error he was fixing but then he froze (stole) them.  He promised to make up his losses without affecting user accounts then went back on his word.  He claimed he was fixing a technical withdrawal issue and stole those funds too.  That second lie costs me a lot of money and heartache.  Here's why:

I contacted them after they realised someone stole coins.
May 10th 2013 - They wrote:
"We are in the process of analyzing the damage. But of course we will fund the losses out of our pockets. Most of the coins (>80%) are stored in cold wallets."

Kumala's lie about funding the loss from his own pockets has hurt a lot of people.

4  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Vircurex unfair distribution of what was left, why? on: April 23, 2014, 02:42:14 PM
why didn't they do a proportional distribution of what was left? I had all my holdings frozen. this is unbelievable. at least they should have left something to everybody so they could continue working on their platform. this was not fair at all. quite disappointed about the way they managed all this. I won't move a btc or ltc back to vircurex. I'm finished there unless I have some of my frozen holding released.

His decision to give my coins to someone else is so unfair.

After completing  trades, thou shalt remove all coins from the exchange.

If the coins cannot be removed thou shalt not send any more coins up to the exchange. The problem thou is having will be shared on forums all over the web until at which time the coins are returned.

Yes, how we can find the address of this company which owns site vircurex.com? From http://whois.domaintools.com/vircurex.com there shows no name property. Hidden like information. Let us who have blocked funds to organize and find him and do a collective's case to court in China.

The people who know him were the first to get paid off.  That's why it's so hard to get info on kumala.

Think of it, he runs Vircurex, Cryptostocks, and raised money by going public and not a single document or communication identifies him by name.  He is only known by his bitcointalk pseudo "kumala".  With all the problems he is having, he should be releasing information about himself to reassure people he is legitimate.  Instead, he has gone dark and even more secretive.  Does that look like the behavior of an upstanding person who wants to do right by his customers or does it look like the behavior of a criminal?

Again, he took our funds but won't even allow us to know who he is!  It's time to stop kidding ourselves.
There are people out there who know who he is and are using these boards (I know this for a fact).  They need to come forward....please...

"We have taken the utmost care to provide you with a stable, performant and secure environment." and there is the result when I log in on my account

"Frozen funds
Your account has frozen funds (the reason why you might not see all your coins in the balances). Please read this announcement about the details."

Petarv, I agree with you completely.  Kumala claims he's burdened with answering 10,000 emails.  It's only a burden if you are actually replying to them, and we all know he's not.

I am really concerned about the "frozen funds" designation.  For me, not only was a fund transfer interrupted and my coins were given to someone else, but now he refers to my loss as "frozen funds".  Technically, funds that are frozen actually exist but aren't available to withdraw.  He has admitted the funds aren't there.  So our "frozen funds" are actually an IOU with absolutely nothing backing it up.  He can pay you if and when he feels like it.  These are the kinds of misrepresentations (like his coin withdrawal technical error) that put him into a whole new category.  This is criminal misrepresentation.  People go to jail for doing what he has done.

Kumala needs to restore these funds and stop scamming people.
13  Economy / Securities / Re: [CRYPTOSTOCKS] Vircurex [VCX] - Going public on: April 03, 2014, 07:27:22 PM
this is an issue I haven't considered, but actually in March between the 19th and the 20th I had deposited 14.33 btc!

Well then you were a victim of theft like me.  I moved BTC into my account and traded for LTC.  I then tried to withdraw my LTCs and got the error.  My entire transaction took minutes and I should have been in and out in 1/2 hour.  Kumala posted a message stating the problem was being addressed.  Now somehow our funds were swept into the pile and given to other people.  This problem had nothing to do with his shortage UNLESS he purposely allowed trades so he could steal the deposits to help deal with his shortage.  That would make him a crook, pure and simple.  If the technical error was real, the withdrawals THAT SHOULD HAVE OCCURED BEFORE THE FREEZE must be completed.
14  Economy / Securities / Re: [CRYPTOSTOCKS] Vircurex [VCX] - Going public on: April 03, 2014, 03:28:46 PM
With the recent developments we haven't had time to compile all the data for the report. In addition we'll be fully disclosing the financial situation (short fall of BTC, LTC, TRC and FTC). Preparing this diligently takes some time, apart from answering like a bit over 10K of emails that we have received.

Kumala,  You owe some of us more than a disclosure of your shortfall.  Some of us transferred coins between 3/19 and 3/22 for trades and our coins were stolen.  It was portrayed as a technical issue that was being worked on but then our accounts were frozen.  This is a completely different issue than your shortfall.  Your number 1 priority should have been, and now needs to be, restoring the funds of those who received the withdrawal error you promised to fix.  This cannot be a large number of people but your liability towards these accounts is much more severe as you engaged in overt fraud during this time.  I will be patient with my prior deposits that were frozen but insist you restore the coins that were stolen and distributed to others during the 3/19 - 3/21 period.

Is there any Vircurex owner/mod/dev a Bitcointalk.org member?
Whould be nice to talk with them in this hard for us situation.

It's sad to see all the post from people who liked and trusted Kumala with their wealth.  It's natural to hope it's all a misunderstanding and that he will make us all whole soon.  That isn't going to happen. 

He transacted a huge amount of coins on Vircurex and never revealed a single personal piece of information.  He positioned himself for a smash and grab.  I have been able to acquire some info about him,  but how I had to, only re-enforces how anonymous he has tried to be. 

He started Cryptostocks and never revealed a single piece of personal information.  Check out bitcointalk discussions on Cyptostocks to see how folks are getting ripped off.

He went public with Vircurex (VCX) to "raise money" to replenish his reserves.  In his offering he does not disclose a single piece of personal information.

Truth, in my opinion?
Kumala realized he could do anything he wanted with (he thinks) complete anonymity and impunity.  He withdrew funds from Vircurex and called it a hack.  Promised to pay everyone back so folks would continue to deposit.  He then offered interest to increase deposits.  He also began to block withdrawals under the guise of a technical error.  Then he took a second bite of the apple.  He declared his site insolvent, swept up any available funds and distributed them to himself and others he needed to protect his identity.  Unbelievably, he is taking a third bite by calling a do-ever and asking people to deposit NEW funds beyond those frozen.  Eventually, when he thinks he has some trust back, another "hack" or "freeze" will happen.  Mark my words....... Kumala is going to scam people over and over until there's nothing left.  He's completely silent on all boards, doesn't reply to emails, and people are sending him money!

People seem certain the poor quality listing on Cryptostocks are the result of kick-backs to him.  He raised funds through his own public offering of Vircurex (VCX).  Promised dividends were suspended, the money raised did little to replenish the reserve because it never made it there.  Communication from Kumala?  There's been none.

The threat of jail is the only way anyone is going to get substantial relief (I am working hard on that).  Please forward any personal information you may have regarding Kumala.  I will pay LTC bounties for info I can verify.

In the meantime please...please...don't leave a single coin of yours in his control.

If you don't believe me, go ahead and contact him to ask about it.  He won't reply.  His last post on bitcointalk was almost a month ago.  Does that sound like someone still in the game?


Check out the developers log on Cryptostock.  Kumala posted regularly until Feb 1 - nothing since.
I'm curious, has anybody on this thread heard from Kumala in the last month?

BTW, Vircurex went public on it's own exchange (VCX).  Want to see how that's going?  Check out the link below.  Kumala got the scamming hat-trick.

17  Economy / Securities / Re: WARNING Cryptostocks.com INVESTORS SECURITY FLAW on: March 29, 2014, 04:14:52 PM
Well then please disclose it Smiley

I can personally attest to it.  When Kumala realized he couldn't repay his hacked funds, he allowed select people to retrieve their funds.  That dried up his wallet.  When he realized he needed more funds to make himself and his friends whole, he surreptitiously allowed traders to deposit and trade but generated an error when you tried to withdraw.  For almost a week, he encouraged trades then stole the funds under the guise of a technical error.  Those funds were then given to himself and his friends and accounts were frozen.

If you don't believe me, go ahead and contact him to ask about it.  He won't reply.  His last post on bitcointalk was almost a month ago.  Does that sound like someone still in the game?

I traded BTC for almost 450 LTCs on March 21st.  Kumala accepted my funds, allowed the trade, then generated a system error when I tried to retrieve them a few minutes later.  The total time my funds were on Vircurex was less than 45 minutes.  For people who traded during this time period, Kumala is not holding your coins - he stole them.  He took them knowing full well you would not get them back then gave them to insiders to protect himself.  I have reached out to Kumala both on this site and Vircurex and he's not replying.  I know he logs on every single day so he sees the messages.  The hacking problems with his accounts many months ago do not warrant criminal behavior on his part.

I am committing a total of 450 LTCs (the amount he stole from me) as bounties in order to get information about Vircurex and Kumala, specifically.  I already know some important things but want to learn as much as I can.  He can be held civilly liable, but more importanly, criminally liable.  

If you have any information that can help me prosecute Kumala (personal info, anecdotes, evidence), contact me and give me the nature of what you have.  We can then negotiate a bounty for the actual information.  I will eventually share everything I learn publically on this board.

If anyone wants to contribute their own bounty, let me know and I'll include you in the process.  I don't want your coins.  I'll just include your bounty information and you'll be responsible for delivering the bounty as you see fit.

Flying to Kumala's current location and knocking at his residence?  Yes, I am one of those guys.  My passport is in my top drawer and I'm ready to go.  Had Kumala intended on making good eventually, he wouldn't have stolen trade deposits to pay off himself and silence his friends.  

Please contact me ASAP with the nature of any information you think is valuable.

If somebody has any information about these owners.... MAKE IT PUBLIC. I want to know who is holding my BTC, like everybody else like to know who has his money. Nobody gives his money to a stranger on the corner of the street and asks him to hold it for a month.


I have a similar story.  I traded BTC for almost 450 LTCs on March 21st.  Kumala accepted my funds, allowed the trade, then generated a system error when I tried to retrieve them a few minutes later.  The total time my funds were on Vircurex was less than 45 minutes.  For people who traded during this time period, Kumala is not holding your coins - he stole them.  He took them knowing full well you would not get them back then gave them to insiders to protect himself.  I have reached out to Kumala both on this site and Vircurex and he's not replying.  I know he logs on every single day so he sees the messages.  The hacking problems with his accounts many months ago do not warrant criminal behavior on his part.

Similar, although back on the 19th, trading DOGE to BTC. Got wallet errors, but thought I'd got all my BTC out, except one set never arrived. Still waiting on any indication of what's going on (are they working on crediting broken withdrawals, or are they simply auditing the whole lot before freezing it, or has Kumala had a nervous breakdown and everything's on autopilot?)


Kumala is not working on crediting the broken withdrawals problem.  Those funds were stolen and used to pay off other accounts.  It's one thing to get yourself in trouble running a fractional exchange and quite another to outright steal trade funds.  Kumala is worse than the hackers who raided him. 

He is a criminal and should be arrested.

Does anyone have any personal information about Kumala?  He needs to go to jail, methinks.

I agree there withdraws and deposits where super fast never had a problem.

I liked them too.  After their hacking problems, I decided I couldn't keep coins in my account but I did transact all my trades with them to help support the replenishment of their funds.  In sincere appreciation of my support, they stole 443 litecoins from me.......

On 3/21, I transferred Bitcoins to my account and traded them for LTC.  It required multiple trades and I had 443 LTC in my account within 45 minutes.  I literally sat by my computer until the last trade, then tried to transfer the LTC back to my wallet as soon as it showed up.  That's how I've conducted every transaction with any exchange.  I received the "pop-up" error when I tried to transfer back.  I alerted Vircurex to the problem and soon after, a post when up that they were aware of the problem and working on it.  I retried the transfer hundreds of times over the next few days using different computers, OS, and browsers - same error.

Of course, a few days later my 443 LTC are frozen and I'll never see them again.  They allowed me to deposit and trade when they knew, but did not disclose to me, they would seize my funds and distribute them to someone else.  Vircurex resorted to stealing new trade desposits.  This is not bad business, this is criminal activity.

Kumala should not only be sued, he should be arrested. 

Does anyone have any personal information on this crook?
