What happened to the PBMining guy?

[superbotolo]

I was reading this thread and I was wondering if there were any news?

Haven't heard of him or the service ever since. He basically went MIA after the shits happened in PBmining and everyone lost their money. I doubt that he's ever prosecuted too, knowing that there literally aren't any known legitimate dox of the guy and whether there are some cases filed against him. Ever since that site started back in 2014, it's already a red flag yet nobody even dared question the legitimacy of the said service and continued depositing their money anyway, ending in a not-so-sweet chapter for everyone involved.

Didnt hear out about PBMining ever.Sounds like a cloudmining to me (correct me if im wrong). To the redirected link it shows the thread which isnt active since 2016 which we can
already presume that theres no update nor progress about such issue with this Boyko.

That's correct. PBmining was one of the largest and most popular cloud mining services back in the days. As always, these ponzi schemes don't last for ever since there isn't an infinite pool of noobs within the market cycle(s) they operate in. Thank bear markets for eradicating these bad actors.

According to the hashrate stats on their site they were quite a significant miner, yet no one could locate their mining addresses with how transparent Bitcoin is. They (like most other cloud mining services) always ignored people who asked for their mining addresses, and they had a good reason for that. It was an empty scam hole.
