BFL fucked us over again (redux)

[Gleb Gamow]

Amazing, how so many miners that mine on EclipseMC don't move their BTC: http://www.walletexplorer.com/txid/2938e07ed1b88707ddbc635ae6e1cc90ab9de30166d517c2b7f58fd3d4ba3f4e

I contend that most those addresses are in BFL's control. Since they were mined last year, I wonder if BFL claimed them on their taxes.

Now, let's explore the curious case of the 19g9ocMvrqiZ84PMuhGXPGT3eTmyzVsRY5 BWA.

[ANN][BETA][EXCHANGE][REALTIME] CoinEX realtime exchange

Just for Information, i didn't open a Support Ticket by now.

NO TXID?



I wouldn't mind, if all the Stuck Transaction would get canceled.
Does no TXID mean the Daeomon is Offline?

[ANN] BETARIGS.COM - Cryptocurrency cloud mining - 2000+ rigs online to rent!

Why wont you answer me

Hello, i rented a few rigs at Betarigs but on one of the rigs i by mistake i sent more then i supposed to send, amount i sent 0.0217 so i never got any services,

Unless I should be committed to the asylum, I say that's pretty crazy shit to have an address associated with a cloud miner outfit, an exchange, and an online betting venue that receives mining revenue from BFL's EclipseMC (EMC) on a regular basis going back three years, not to mention that BetVIP's wallet was created mid-2012 and became active after Josh Zerlan's employment at BFL.

Why don't we just leave it #AskLEO to sort it all out, taking possession of BFL's Sonny's House and Josh's BTC-House first just in case, giving it back to them after they pay the mega-fees to some Kansas LEO.

MY BAD! I forgot that I'm "so isolated" that nobody pays attention to me, thus I formally request to have this post quoted so that hopefully the LEOs will pay attention to you.

FWI: I Force Evil Fruit is the anagram for Civil Forfeiture.

June 18, 2014: BFL's lawyer supplies another proof that Josh Zerlan is BFL's COO.

September 27, 2014: Josh Zerlan swears under oath that he's BFL's VP and never held any other position.

April 24, 2015: Tells a judge that I'm planning on kidnapping his wife because I posted an image online of his master bathroom taken two years prior to him, his wife, two kids, and a male rainbow poodle he fucks in the ass ever moved into the BTC-House.

In re. the above, take a look at this txid: http://www.walletexplorer.com/txid/c4eb80de405a593a07bb0d1aa899e5677c55fba541b3ce2508fd773c33e4ee35

Those 450 BTC came directly from BFL's EclipseMC' 1Baf75Ferj6A7AoN565gCQj9kGWbDMHfN9 BWA, another key BWA that BFL didn't disclose for discovery purposes.

75.29675656 BTC: 18M9o2mXNjNR96yKe7eyY6pfP6Nx4Nso3d This is EclipseMC's BWA, with ALL the inputs being 25+ BTC.

0: 1NKygkkRpjDmboWEXXEsAFDEKheZ2pBVxo Another interesting address that needs exploring!

0: 1GhYFmoDgtyJsYFFWhZ2YmeVj2GHsTPTUC Needs further exploring!

0: 1BM8dkK77yvwGk7ucqoNn8eDTBFy8jXjLQ I'm confused on this one at the moment. Either BFL added to the list FTC's address or they were moving bitcoins via an address that the FTC wasn't aware of.

Doing some quick maths, looks like BFL had ONLY ~725 BTC on February 20, 2015, albeit at the time I documented ~$8M USD worth of bitcoins.

To be honest, I wouldn't expect anything less from a person who rips off the elderly to the tune of millions of dollars via his lottery scheme, and online gamblers via his and Jeff Ownby's online casinos, then turns state evidence to have his father sentenced, then die behind bars. Then, surrounds himself with mainly like-minded individuals to fuck people again after given a new lease on life. We're talkin' one sick motherfucker here, folks - Sonny Vleisides.

I post a pic of a bathroom and add a funny.
Josh comments on the funny.
Four months later he uses that fuckin' post to claim that I want to kidnap his wife.

Josh Zerlan, GO FUCK YOURSELF, you fuckin' pervert!

Feel free to use this post in your defense, but don't forget to tell the judge how you've watched porn while your wife's kid are home but she's still at work. If the judge doesn't believe you, show the part of your sig from back in the day you were learning to kiss guys after having sucked dicks for a many years prior: y** = I've been known to make perverts look like angels.

And, I'm a danger to the Josh Zerlan household. Dude, you're one fucked up son of a bitch!

Okay, I've kept it a secret long enough - I'm Rassah's mother. The woman on my left (your right) is Rassah's other mother. (there's another pic of me somewhere from circa 1990 in a dress as well, hence all my lies about lovin' on goats, declaring such because I only wanted to fit into this community so badly  )

Quick aside, I'm about to publish a post proving that BFL was involved with Pirate's Ponzi scheme. Shit's 'bout to get real! Again, apologies for the aside.  

Back on topic, there's a pic of Genjix in a dress that I favor as well (or he favors me).

Come to think of it, although I didn't think it weird at the time till now, Josh was purposely standing very close to me when he gave that miner in the parking lot on the day of the Kansas meetup. Do dudes do that as a test to see if the other dude is or is not? The encounter was relatively brief, and I'm the one that backed away about a half step or so, more or less to make him comfortable... WHAT THE FUCK! Why was I making his comfortable? Seriously, I just created a more respectable space between us two two dudes, not wanting him to think that I was coming onto him, even though it was he that dictated the initial close distance.

Prepare to be shocked!

The curious case of BFL's 15v3sXGh6PDpQXcCmVYRf7H2ryRL5EVsu6 BWA.

http://ia801803.us.archive.org/33/items/gov.uscourts.ksd.97083/gov.uscourts.ksd.97083.73.10.pdf





Now that it's established that BFL indeed owns that BWA, let's explore where the 450 BTC stemmed from. http://www.walletexplorer.com/address/15v3sXGh6PDpQXcCmVYRf7H2ryRL5EVsu6

Bear the following in mind while reading the rest of this post: http://ia802308.us.archive.org/32/items/gov.uscourts.mowd.117531/gov.uscourts.mowd.117531.42.20.pdf



To recap the above, users of EMC control their bitcoins of blocks found via the pool. When EMC finds a block of 50 BTC (now it's 25 BTC), they are automatically allocated to the miners' bitcoin wallet address according to what hashing power they contributed to the pool.

That said...

http://www.walletexplorer.com/txid/e122681aec8723d782c3f168ef9bd6cd27f9f07a5d9390f8d687ffb37e39bced




1Baf75Ferj6A7AoN565gCQj9kGWbDMHfN9 was EMC's BWA from 2012-07-13 13:37:23 to 2014-02-09 00:41:04 (UTC), created ~1 month prior to Josh Zerlan's declared employment with BFL as their COO or VP, depending on which way the wind's a blowin' on any given day. And, Josh had 100% control of EMC's hot and cold wallets, as he so declared under oath after the FTC raid on Sonny Vleisides' Butterfly Labs.

What about where the fees went to, you ask? --> http://www.walletexplorer.com/address/1Pfsqg2T9cik9ce92wT4xoEFbw5i8R3iF6

They've been amassing there since 2012-07-08 02:46:43 (UTC) when Josh Zerlan owned EMC, then after October 26, 2012, when BFL purchased EMC from Josh. This fact begs the question, who owns those BTC?

There are additional fees tacked onto some generated blocks to bring the total to more than 50 BTC per block (usually between 50.0001 and 50.003) - those fractions of a BTC are kept by the pool.

Strange fact: Bitcoins quit flowin' to that BWA damn near to the day pre-order moneys started being accepted for BFL's Monarchs. (verify the date, and if spot on, then there may be a connection of sorts)

Now that we know where the 450 BTC stemmed from, let's explore the thousands of BWAs that the BTC automatically went to via preferences from EMC's miners using the pool expecting their timely payouts. This should be interesting!

First stop on this massive train ride you're about to read: http://www.walletexplorer.com/txid/c4eb80de405a593a07bb0d1aa899e5677c55fba541b3ce2508fd773c33e4ee35



Alrighty then, LukeJr got his 15 BTC, leaving only 434.9995 BTC yet to track. Enjoying the train ride thus far? What about the view? To your left are the Titans, albeit too big for my taste. I pray that this train doesn't pass the Grand Canyon, but if it does, hopefully will see a many tiny streams along the way. And goat farms.  

http://www.walletexplorer.com/txid/eee0d07deb18f050682f1710bcc835fe796a886edd15abb1a4a420250a927b42



Damn, we barely got outta town and already there's a fork on the tracks. Left or right? Let's go right on track 1921367fb9. I think I see something interesting ahead.  



Damn, that sure is a helluva lotta miners awaiting payouts for the hashing power they contributed to EMC's pool, eh?

Well, for what it's worth, at least them miners were eventually paid via that 600 BTC output txid depicted above.

CAUTION: The rest of this post may or may not depict ~1,000 transactions from the EMC pool to its miners stemming directly and indirectly from a BWA belonging to BFL after some miners' been awaiting payouts for ~dozen days. Here's to hoping that nothing nefarious is uncovered, for I truly love these guys and duly hate to see them get into any trouble.

Can we all agree and say fuck them 76.9985 BTC and just follow the 600 BTC to save time? Thank you! You guys are the bestest!

http://www.walletexplorer.com/txid/fde837eac4c60a24bedbb5b036673f7913aa3aed44631bf20230a2f0450aa1f8



Fuck me in the ass! This is gonna take forever to post still ~1,000 transactions, but I'm committed, so why stop now?

Again, for brevity, I say fuck them 5.03 BTC and simply follow them 594.97 BTC, mmmkay?

http://www.walletexplorer.com/txid/72f270d2d7e773df913517564a56e897268ebdd6feaf975d9f216e0bf2087b89



Thank you, Jehovah, for that 124.99 BTC payout probably knocked my task down to only ~800 transactions, thus hopefully allowing me time to see if any new boys joined the site I frequent.   Yesterday, I rapped with a new boy on said site named Josh. His sig intrigued me so much, hence rappin' with him for hours. His sig, you ask? --> I've been known to make perverts look like angels.  

But, enough about me and my jollies, there's serious business at hand, namely trackin' them 633.78 BTC. Pervert young boys named Josh and girls with tight pussies having small titties on them can wait. A small price to pay, I say, to get to the bottom of this BFL fiasco, fiasco being what others say, not me, for remember, I love these guys.   Sadly, though, the pressure is building, and I'm not too sure how long I can hold it in sans busting a nut prematurely, but I'll do my best.

http://www.walletexplorer.com/txid/3d5ed6c2691c9cbf4d9daa2ba976573ed6cb881ec3382add7f9c2dc2eacb9ce9



BRB! I need to change my underwear, for what I feared might happen, did - premature ejaculation.

I guess this is where the train stops unless, that is, you desire of me to showcase how pirateat40 aka Trendon Shavers paid all them miners using EMC's pool them 650 BTC doled out accordingly.

Apologies for not depicting ~1,000 transactions, but for a consolation prize I believe I've shown a direct connection between BFL and Pirate's Ponzi scheme with Josh Zerlan smack dab in the middle of it.

Say good-bye to the BTC-House, Joshie Boy. Looks like you won't make it a year in your new digs as the LEOs wind down their investigation.

Any chance on you and I, Mr. "So Isolated", getting into a gambling arrangement consisting of nobody's paying attention to my lying ass? Surely, if what you believe in your fucked up head is true, i.e., I had plans on kidnapping your wife, then this should be an easy win for your scammin' ass. I'll even let you send me an IRS Form 1099-MISC if you lose just like you conspired with others in using the USPS to send me the last one from BFL to lessen their tax liability.

Of all things that make EMC the most impressive pool to mine at. What stands out most about Inabas pool is his effort and time spent being involved, improving, and staying on top of any concern or need that arises or is asked by the miners.

Doesn't matter if the problem is big or small, minute or of major concern. Anytime situations occur time and time again Inaba is always on top of it.

This along with the transparency of his pool are things you will have a hard time finding elsewhere, not to mention all of the various features all here in one place and free. Other pools may offer one of these features and they also may provide you with some stats here or there, but not one is voluntary and completely forthcoming in offering the information miners need and want to see.

Thanks Inaba! Your doing a terrific job in offering a great service to us all. Thanks for being one of the good guys!

Dam dude, always negative things happening to you in regards to bitcoin. Hope your luck changes for the better and soon. Once its gets so bad you would think it could only get better, but then something else happens.

So many negative outcomes from situations can sometimes make people its happening to become more negative. Keep your chin up and don't let the evil get to you. From wat I know of you, your character and reputation are impeccable and inspiring.

As for Vitaliy Maxorin @MVitaliyB@mail.ru, nobody can say the same about him. This is who he is and wat goes around comes around. Do onto others as you would want done onto you. You only as good as those you surround yourself with. Maybe someday EMC will be invite only. If so I hope my measly MH/s does not prevent me from joining.

I am glad to be of your acquaintance, hope only positive things are in your future.

Why the fuck does it look like those two posts has Jeff Ownby's name written all over them?

I personally like that my winnings are not being return to my wallet after each game is completed. With number of bets weekly/daily this would be alot to keep up with and track as well as loading the wallet to update the blockchain with such frequency.

With that being said when I am ready to cashout I then need to make a request here or using the support form on the site?


I had an issue concerning the following wager. The kansas city game was rained out and then played the next day with the same scheduled pitchers and kansas city won. That game was graded as a push and the odds were reduced.

Hi stoppots,

Thanks for the feedback!

1. Regarding the cashouts: typically, we cash users out automatically at the end of each day. If we notice that the user had multiple input addresses on their deposits, we will wait for a cashout request to be 100% we are sending to the correct address. We are currently working on improving this system by allowing users to instantly cashout at any time. So for now, just use the support form reference your account # and bitcoin address, and you should be good to go!

2. Regarding the baseball rules: You were correct in saying that the baseball rule #4 is only for playoff games. We are going to edit this rule to make this more obvious.

3. Regarding the bet slip bug: This is the first time we have heard of this. This is a serious issue, as your experience betting is super high on our priority list. I am going to mess around a bit now and see if I can reproduce. I may PM you for details (what web browser etc)? If we can reproduce the issue, we may even give out a small bounty for helping us squash this bug!

Let me know if you have any other question and thanks for using NitrogenSports!

Happy betting

Well I'm sure any donation is welcomed. I didn't want to give anyone the impression your donation will directly affect the pool or it's uptime. I was just responding to the post about whether a mandatory donation would improve the pool.

I am pretty certain from what I have observed that Inaba does whatever he can to make the pool the best it can be. He's clearly not doing it just for the money.

+1 dude gets an A+ in my book. Time and time again goes above and beyond the call of duty. Leads by example and is a role model not just for the other bitcoin pools operators, but also the pools themselves and in how he is involved with it and for the miners of it.

Inaba sorry for a majority of my post in this thread to be of this nature.

[Gleb Gamow]

Well guys... this is the first major bug in EMC's history.  It took over a year, but indeed there was a bug that has completely drained the hot wallet...

I believe I have located the bug and eliminated it... but for the past ~7 hours the pool has been incrementing wallet balances on the same blocks over and over, so people had huge balances and some people have withdrawn the funds.

If any one who has received erroneous funds would be so kind as to return it, I would appreciate it.  It all comes out of my pocket and I run this pool at break even on the best of days, and if I'm out over 1000 BTC, it's a bit of a problem.  

If you received erroneous fund and are kind enough to return them, I would appreciate it.  You can send them to this BTC address:  1hK7oeDzHTYwSG2BXhfzaucJXenHfTTkL

I am currently working on fixing the resulting fall out, but I just wanted to let everyone know what's going on.

I suggest everyone of us send Inaba 1 BTC, then He'd be back on track!

I'm willing too even though I didn't get any extra payments, anyone else?

Sent 1 BTC. I've been meaning to do this for a while...

I'm very close to detailing a definitive timeline depicting Josh Zerlan, BFL and Pirate's Ponzi scheme connection(s).

But first, try not to laugh too hard at the following chain of events:

Micro Timeline for this event ONLY:

July 21, 2012, 10:51:08 AM CST: Josh Zerlan requested the return of ~1000 BTC due to a glitch, declaring that if not returned he'd be in a pitch. Oooch!

2012-07-21 16:39:32 UTC: 97.70049305 BTC is return to Josh Zerlan's BWA. Oooch! - (minus) ~10% recovered =  .

2012-07-25 04:27:43 UTC: 97.70049305  BTC + 702.29950695 BTC = 800 BTC sent to Pirate's Ponzi scheme accompanied with the following note:

Pirate,

Please accept my apologies for the delay in investing another 800 BTC into your venerable enterprise. I assure you that it won't happen again, but it was unavoidable due to a glitch in my EMC pool THAT MADE ME SICK. Some day I'm going to sell that fuckin' money losing piece of shit, but until then I have you to parley my scanty wealth.

Regards,

Josh "My 'I've been known to make perverts look like angels.' sig will dominate your face!" Zerlan

#AskLEO/#askleo

PS: I appreciate you guys stayin' outta my way while I conduct this investigation on my own. Also, please don't waste your time checking my work or commenting on my hours of investigating.  


EDIT in the following nugget...

I just finished correcting the bug -  I definitely was able to identify it and it was located in some code that dealt with really really short blocks, so it didn't get tested much.  The test suite I had run on it did not include a very specific set of variables that would trigger the bug.  Ugh...

I am very sorry guys.  Payouts should not be affected at all, and block processing should return to normal now.  There is about 4 million shares backed up in the database, so it's going to take several hours at least to work through them and get them credited properly.  No shares are lost since the bug started, but the stats won't show up in your account for several hours.  The pool stats are probably going to go wonky now that processing has started again as well.

I had to roll back the user accounts about 8 hours give or take a couple hours... so any payouts you did during that time are gone.  Really, this only means you either received funds that are not accounted for, or any payouts you initiated that did not complete are also gone.  So basically, some people ended up with a lot more BTC than they should have.

I would like to thank beekeeper for returning 97.7 BTC so far.  That helps!  I am kind of sick at losing over 1000 BTC to a bug like this, I thought I had the code tested properly, but apparently I missed that one spot.  It was some newer code that I had put in a couple months ago, which is why it's only cropping up just now.  I normally keep the hot wallet a little lighter than 1000 BTC, but I had let it get a bit fatter than usual while I've been traveling... Well, it's thin now!  

So again, I would kindly request that anyone who has received extra funds erroneously return them to: 1hK7oeDzHTYwSG2BXhfzaucJXenHfTTkL

Obviously, I can't force anyone to do that.  I will be looking through the accounts and seeing who got paid what that they shouldn't have and see if there's anything to be done about it... but I suspect a lot of the people who got illicit funds were on auto-pay, so when their balance suddenly went way positive, it just initiated auto-payouts and they didn't do anything explicitly on purpose.  I know some people have, though... I see a lot of manual payouts happening in the timeframe that the bug was happening.  So we'll see how many honest folks we have here!

Thanks for the understanding guys and I apologize again.  Share processing is working and will be catching up as fast as it can.

100% my fault.

I had a guy send me 400 BTC. Only the address I gave him was not my address but an address that someone used to send me bitcoin in October.

1DMLq4UF1yWn9kTC8a6fvVcMzLizuShaz  this is the address.

I assume that this was a pool that I was mining at (but that is a guess).

If anyone has any ideas I would be grateful.

10% or 40 BTC reward for information that leads to the return of the coins. Meaning if I get the coins back I pay out 40 BTC to who helped me.

Thank you.

From the desk of...

Wow, so I just got this from Vitaliy Maxorin:

Good day!
I myself am a programmer and I know for myself that for financial losses incurred due to errors in the source code the programmers are paid out of his pocket. I myself have several times carried a financial loss because of their mistakes. But no I will not reimburse my losses. I understand your request as a man, but I think it is not appropriate as a colleague. Excuse me, but I do not return the money you lost.

His email is MVitaliyB@mail.ru, he was over paid 47.30350378 BTC.  Too bad there are so many thieves in the world... sad.  WTG breaking that Russian stereotype to boot!
