nothing we can do. he won't listen to anyone and he certainly won't get banned.

So just wait for him to get broke.

Well, some were paying back. But most are obvious attempts to scam him.
He certainly doesn't seem to value money or some are his own alts.


Well, mods can delete every thread with "pro lender" right? But not sure it is worth it..


Something is definitely suspicious about this. Is he allowing himself to be targeted?

manyproofs should not lend to newbies or without a legit reason.
he should lend to some of the trusted members even no collateral needed.
at most those alts will be banned for spamming.

BTW according to his trust feedbacks, seems like he is lending himself to improve his trust ratings. Feedback from tomatocage- "Alt of numerous scammers. Lending to himself to boost his trust ratings.". I for one don't believe that one would be so stupid as to just lend btcs without any collateral or guarantee of return on loan.

I personally disagree with the rating given by TC.

IMO, Manyproofs is just one of those stupid guys who don't value money and easily falls for flattery.



Or we can go with TC and ban Manyproofs for abusing the trust system (for protecting his funds)?
Edit: hmm, that will reduce the possibility of him getting repaid.. Dang!

either way, even if TC's rating was false and he was actually just handing out "monies," he is still encouraging, motivating, and most importantly, enabling scammers in the lending section. i wouldnt say its a stretch to say that he is the sole cause of the increase in newbie accounts asking for no collateral loans either.

He is certainly encouraging scammers. Well, I'd say that the recent number of newbie accounts lending is because of him. Everything with a pro lender is dedicated to him. lol

and one of the guy got 0.25 from one newbie account, and 0.075 from another AFAIK, clearly visible in blockchain. So, there is the same scammers scamming him again and again..

or his alts that is.

Hm... i don't see much sense in him doing that. I mean he does not give trust and it seems he does not get valuable trust too.

So i think he simply might be stupid only.
