I spent my bitcoins via the amazonbitcoin service a couple weeks ago. Everything went through OK, although my second bigger transaction got held up by 6 hours. I want to spent more now, but the site is gone. anyone know why?

I've never even heard of it. Are you sure that it was for real?

"The powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences. The apex of the systems was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world's central banks which were themselves private corporations. Each central bank...sought to dominate its government by its ability to control Treasury loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the level of economic activity in the country, and to influence cooperative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world."
- Carroll Quigley, CFR member, mentor to Bill Clinton, from 'Tragedy And Hope'

I haven't heard of that service. Did you research them before ordering?
I assume they just order stuff from amazon for you?

you receive a gift code that you can use on Am...com
They don't order for you. Again, my first two transactions were OK.
I don't know what to say at this point if they can be trusted or not. In the beginning, there is this Brian who talks to you real time to answer any questions.
The original site (.com) got shut down, they changed it from .com to .net. It's the .net that I have not had any success yet.

I am the creator of AmazonBitcoins.com, Brian Ethier. This is an urgent warning. DO NOT under any circumstances use AmazonBitcoins.net They are impostors, and have ripped off our site, and identities to scam people. We are getting to the bottom of who has done this. Follow our real site, and my twitter for updates: http://www.amazonbitcoins.comhttps://twitter.com/Brian_Ethier |

At least Brian looks legit, seeing as how the site clearly says it got canned.

I was told by someone else that amazonbitcoins.net was a replacement for amazonbitcoins.com. I didn't check it myself, which I usually do before I recommend things to people. I broke my own rule: never recommend something unless I have first hand experience with what I'm recommending. I'd like to apologize to the Bitcoin community and to Brian Ethier and Co. for going against my own code and making life more difficult for others in the process. Thanks also to Brian for his email alerting me to my mistake. |

The .net site is now down. It looks like the people in charge of it got spooked with all of the attention their scam was getting.
