If Zipconf never worked where did the dividends come from ?
Beats me. I was never in control of any funds and came in long after any funds were collected. I think it's most likely he was paying "dividends" even without profits. I don't think that's necessarily a "ponzi", but it's not honest.
I find it hard to believe the founder of
http://dcao.org/ would not warn the bitcoin community about a known scammer being involved in a project that was trying to raise large amounts of bitcoins from the community.
Couldn't agree more. How could such an awesome guy work with someone like Bitscalper without letting people know? Because he didn't know.
How much was JRO paying you for your silence ?
Nothing unfortunately, just promises. I was just following the boss as all employees do when they say "We've got a security leak, keep this under wraps while an investigation is pending". You really should be asking JRO though since I don't own any of those companies nor even hold equity in them.
It reminds me of why the better business beaureu doesnt work.
Yep. Back when I first proposed the idea of a safe network (similar to a cross between eBay's feedback/rating and the BBB on top), I didn't at the time realize why that's a bad model. After looking into the BBB and how even shitty companies who "pay" can get a A+ rating, I was appalled and immediately agreed with the community that such a thing should never be trusted, regardless of how makes it. Interestingly enough, MtGox made one and people trust them
You might not have known before you started working with bitscalper
Since you like to use deceptively loaded words, I'll continue to correct you. I never worked -with- Bitscalper. I worked with JRO who had also hired Bitscalper as a developer for a project I was brought on to help manage the front end of (which never happened I might add).
but you have admitted to working with him when 4000 or so BTC went missing.
Yep, with 5 trusted witnesses who can easily provide evidence that I never went near any code or did anything other than talk to JRO about ideas basically. You're fishing for a whale in a puddle too I see.
Also you never went back to correct your many threads of calling Maria and everyone else under the sun bitscalper once you knew the truth. You did not let the public know at all until someone forced your hand (and you even at first deleted that).
Maria and CoinExchange (Leo) are both the same person. He lives in New York and uses his wife's name to spam people whenever he's banned. He is not Bitscalper, but he's an equally scummy fuck. If you'd like, I can go back and update all of my old posts if it matters to anyone, but then you'd probably just post that I was "changing my words".
Will there be a feature about your working relationships and Zhou/Bitscalper/JRO in the next issue of your mag? Should be good reading.
Doesn't seem like it would be very interested "news", and would be rather short as well.
