The problem is that he is a legendary member. And he has a lot of trust. Who will you use as escrow then? I mean when you anticipate that there will be problems then ok, but if you trust him because he has so much trust then it wouldnt matter much if you use a trusted escrow. Because the trusted escrow could run with the funds too then. Its all based on trust and he has good trust.

Im not sure what to think. I know he has quite some problems and i think his reputation on the forum is not the most important thing in his life now. Though i think when you experience hard times then you should not lose everything on the way. You need to keep on living later.

My guess is that something came up and he will pay you back. I really doubt he will scam, but no matter what he has tarnished his reputation. Maidak is too well known to just scam and make a run for it. I have his personal info and cell number so I can shoot him a text and help clear this up. I will let you know if he responds to me and what is going on.

Hope you could help me get my money back then.

i have had dealings with maidak also never any problems. i hope he will come back here and explain what has been going on.

it's strange, in his profile he did say that he don't conduct any trade on skype, so how come he used skype with you?

his password was also changed recently, there is a chance that his profile could be hacked?

FWIW, if you had hacked his bitcointalk account in order to scam someone, wouldn't you change the profile message so that it didn't say "I don't trade on skype" if your plan was to trade on skype.  Of course, it might have been overlooked.

I just spoke with Maidak and I can not disclose his situation, but I do have some info. Maidak will be back on the 24th of this month (2 weeks) and pay OP back.

Is he okay?

That's good to hear. I'm glad this wasn't just some exit scam from a high repped member. Although it still sucks that OP has to wait to get his money back. Hopefully Maidak will be okay.

He explain why he took BTC from someone, disappear only to come back not having paid that person and take more BTC from someone else with terms of paying back in hours and disappear again? That's what I find suspicious about this whole thing. Nothing adds up: Take BTC from someone, disappear, take BTC from someone else and come up with excuse after excuse while 1 hour turns into weeks. Claimed to be in the hospital the first time according to https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1077982.msg11536992#msg11536992 - Then was cashing out at the ATM and etc but couldn't payback the first guy?

Call him whatever you want (trusted, good guy, etc) but after seeing the above, how can you not be suspicious? How can anyone blame shdvb for being impatient after being told one hour, then nothing but excuses? Why start deals knowing you can't complete them in time instead of just taking out a loan? 

Blazedout419 - With the info you can't disclose, was he being honest with shdvb and DjVoodo?

[lissandra]

I seen some guys get scammed like thousands, so consider it wasnt compared to that..

but yeah $400 dollars is a large amount of money still, cause it could be half months of rent right there.. I mean we cant really do anything about the situation..

[Blazed]

He is alright...I will let him explain whatever details he wants. I was just trying to get OP an answer about when he gets what is owed.

Xestr - all I have is a few texts with little more info than I posted. I was asked just to pass on when he will be back to settle up his debts. If what I was told is the truth then I understand the delay. I agree though stuff like this is not good when trading.

[Quickseller]

Rehab?

That is exactly what I was thinking, however I didn't want to put his name through more direct then necessary, especially when it would be based off of speculation.

[andresmm91]

I was also scammed $5000 by Maidak.

Here's my post with details: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1086873

I've been waiting for him more than 6 months to pay me what he owes me. I'm really tired of his excuses and also no answering for weeks.

ALWAYS a different excuse, for more than 6 months. I've been REALLY patient, as I haven't said anything because of his reputation. But well, it seems he really scammed me.

If he told you the same he told me then still... it might be a huge personal problem but it really would be nothing that makes it impossible to take 5 minutes time and make a post in here. Or simply pay if he has the money. I mean even with a blocked bank account... sending someone money should be possible. And it would not take much time... IF you have the money.

The $5000 accusation could match in the problems he described.

I know personal problems are a real problem but taking money from others then, maybe knowing that you cant pay back (instantly)? I dont think i would do that. Though on the other hand... its said people can be pushed so hard on the abyss that the own moral is tested hard.

He also told me that he had his bank account blocked, although this was a really long time ago, and meanwhile I saw he was still exchanging money here. Then he told me it was his partner from China that was managing his account.

Then since March or April, he told me he got a new job, and that he would be paying me a little week per week, which I agreed. Of course he never did that. And every time I mentioned it, he said "I had a [insert_problem_here], I will be able to do it next week." Now it's been 3 more weeks with no answers, and we're in June. This all started in September 2014. I don't expect to see my money back really, but no one should believe his excuses. There's really no excuse for having $5000 from someone that long.

what happened with maidak?

he is (or was) a nice guy.

[RFDZ]

At least he did not say "Two weeks (TM)", so chances are you may get it at some point.

And this is why to me it just seems like excuses excuses. If he can text you guys then he should be able to text or contact the people he borrowed money from but he's more than likely just stalling. Seen it time after time here with people claiming personal problems or giving excuses as to why they can't send the money when they've likely just gotten themselves into a financial predicament and then just taken advantage of their supposed trust and rep to either steal or get an interest free loan. The least you guys could do is tell maidak to update the people he has kept money from or tell them yourselves.
