Identity theft is a by-product of these scams and I previously highlighted how a supposedly legitimate Colombian businessman, Roman Parra, who recently was attempting to run his own bitcoin exchange, is directly and provably linked to Recyclix through a company which is already implicated in identity theft.
Oh I just can't help myself and I know the Recyclix shills and fanbois will be desperately claiming there isn't a connection so, here, let me show you the path from
roman_parra@hotmail.com Recyclix ponzi scammer through to Roman Parra, supposed respectable Bitcoin entrepreneur.
First, let's remind ourselves of the information revealed by the Recyclix payment back in their early days before they got their shit together:
As you can see they had to process fiat payments through their existing payment processor account, which was registered to a company called 'C.I. Alternative Trade Ltda' for which online searches show a history of fraudulent behaviour. This is where we first meet 'Roman Parra' by way of his hotmail address linked to that payment account.
So, now we've objectively established that the company behind Recyclix is 'C.I. Alternative Trade Ltda', let's see what information can be found about it:
As you can see, it is classed as a small promotions and advertising company.
But who is running the show there?
Oh look! It appears that a gentleman called, 'Roman Eduardo Parra Gonzales' is the full name of the registered manager for this criminal enterprise.
Now, let's set about connecting the scammer Roman Eduardo Parra Gonzales, who owns the email account
roman_parra@hotmail.com to the supposedly respectable Roman Parra, bitcoin entrepreneur.
Prior to becoming the thieving douchebag he would later choose to be, a young Roman Parra attended University and studied Industrial Production and Engineering. He wrote a detailed thesis on the subject, in Spanish naturally, but we are not particularly interested in the content of this thesis, just the name and email address of the student named as its author:
Roman Parra Gonzales wrote this thesis and, as you see, his email address is the very same
roman_parra@hotmail.com who would later go on to become the fraudster douchebag behind many online scams.
This is a linkedin page the supposedly respectable bitcoin entrepreneur version of Roman Parra has:
His 'legitimate' business interests are listed there, such as Colbitex, Bitcoin Suramerica and Woodshares, which shares remarkably similar characteristics to the enviro-friendly Recyclix scam as you 'invest' in trees, you know, for the environment! Roman Parra knows his shit when it comes to yanking people's chains about the environment and persuading them to part with their hard-earned cash on the promise of bigger returns, later.
His Twitter account also lists his CEO and Founder status of these companies:
Handily enough, it also shows he has another name after the 'Parra' beginning with 'G' and I'm betting big that is stands for, 'Gonzales'.
Ok, so now we have the 'CEO and Founder' of these supposedly legitimate bitcoin companies with the name 'Roman Parra Gonzales', anybody want to bet there's an 'Eduardo' in there, too?
But let's take a look at the rest of his linkedin page:
How interesting! The supposedly respectable bitcoin entrepreneur version of Roman Parra studied Industrial Production and Engineering, as well as training as a Marketing Specialist. Remember that C.I. Alternative Trade Ltda is listed as an advertising and promotions company? My, how the young engineering student has grown!
Funny how he fails to mention being manager of C.I. Alternative Trade Ltda in the list of companies in his linkedin profile.
It seems it is still active in various scams and can be found mentioned in places such as ScamGuard!

Now, about those bitcointalk accounts and threads he created to promote his 'legitimate' operations. . .
