Master-P SCAMMER. I lost complete faith in this forum now.

[Spoetnik]

Its wierd that he apparently created a new account with a signed message saying he'd sold his master-p bitcointalk account and associated accounts for 2BTC back in August. He also went on to say he's sorry but cant help and wont be coming back.

Then another couple of accounts were created again saying they were him but that his accounts have been hacked and not sold and he'll do his best to repay the money (which now stands at over 25BTC I believe).

The funds are still in the addresses they were sent to.

So my thoughts are that either this was an exit scam attempt from master-p but he's got cold feet after being threatened with a dox or that his accounts have really been hacked but they cant get access to his private keys to steal the coins.

Whats worrying is that one of the latter accounts created when he said he'd only just found out about this is that he said he was 'going to get some sleep'. Surely anyone with his high standing in the community and wanting to try and keep some dignity and respect would have got a couple of matchsticks if they were tired and stuck them between their eyelids and worked tirelessly to prove they had in fact been hacked and tried to clear their name.

The worrying thing is there seems to be no attempt from master-p to prove his innocence

But after all is said this still doesn't add up, is it an attempted master-p exit scam or has he been hacked?

I'm afraid to say my money is still on an exit scam but I hope to be proved wrong.

If his account was hacked and some guy went to soooooooo much trouble to run around ripping people off
the scammer would not care about the account / rep he trashed.. he'd laugh it off and be gone with the money.

This little scammer pussy got caught.

If a guy stole 24 BTC he'd laugh his ass off and ride into the sunset with his ill gotten booty giving you all the finger.
The fact the coins are still sitting there and we have this whole drama with some douche crying he was hacked is pure bs.

I bet i know where he got the idea from too..
You all recall seeing the guy who had an account for collateral asking of he should sell it (after they owner cried hacks) ?
I said sell his fucking account or we will set a precedent.
Little while later.."I wuz hacked"  

It's the absolute no. 1 go to excuse for any piece of shit weazle in Crypto !
Rip people off then cry haxors liek omg !111

Fuck em all.. pour gas on them and light them on fire for all i care.
More and more precedents are being set now so expect this stealing shit to ramp up and happen more often.

AND GOOGLE SPOETNIK SEZ............

I warned ALL OF YOU

Faggots will ruin crypto with their stupid scammy antics supporting shit coins like Doge etc.
Then when Crypto dies off they will want to cash out and quit.... and .......
Rob someone on the way out the door.
AND THAT IS PRECISELY WHAT I PREDICTED 100 fucking times.
And that is PRECISELY what has been happening.

I TOLD YOU SO.

EDIT:
This piece of faggot shit pulled a Mark from Gox  

Mark shut his site down and said he was robbed by hackers.. for hundreds of thousands of Bitcoin's
Later he had his lawyer announce to the world he had found 200,000 BTC in his couch on a USB drive.
WOW huh "The Couch" + "USB Drive" was GOX's security for the biggest BTC exchange on earth.. who would have thunk it ?

EDIT2:
Mount this fuckers head on a pike for all to see or you will continue to set a bad precedent !

I first commented on page 22 but on page 30 i said above on this..

Point was lost i think.

People only care about THEIR OWN money here..
I keep saying in these violated trust scam topic(s) popping up lately
..they are setting a bad precedent.
You guys are basically letting them get way with it.
Which means..
There is just going to be more and more guys who want to get out of Crypto and are going to rob someone on their way out.

You guys need to think about the security of new users walking in here -NOW- to this den of thieves.
Not hiding pertinent info to protect noobs on behalf of your own personal coins agenda..

This guys doxx info should have posted right away with out any delay to warn everyone everywhere.

Instead you all used it as a way to extort the guy for your own selfish reasons..
potentially leaving a lot of people at risk. (are his other accounts here we did not spot yet abusing people ?)

Are you guys going to feel good when the DOXX finally gets put out and some noob says,
"oh shit that guy was just making a deal with me 5 minutes ago"
..when you *could* have prevented the guy from scamming again..
OR..
Making it clear to scammer(s) they won't get away with it in the first place by nailing this fucker AS HARD AS YOU CAN ASAP !

What did we learn here ?

We learned that you can rip people off feed them a shit load of excuses then stall them as long as you want.

All you guys here will do is post whiny complaints as he spends weeks splaying Counter-Strike
and shopping on line for toys with YOUR MONEY..
hell he may be still screwing MORE people over STILL during this time period. (while old victims keep waiting)

Deterrent ?
Fuck no..

If i was a scammer and seen this shit i would laugh and think..
Good fucking deal, they will whine and hold my DOXX info as long as i feed them excuses and hand out some BTC dust ROFL
Well worth it if you can snag a quick free 20 or 30 BTC to party it up with.

This is now going to open the flood gate and i said this would happen on the last "i wuz hacked" account story scam.
..and here we are watching it play out .. AGAIN.

And at what point do you guys stop with ultimatums ?
TECSHARE gave him a week roughly then each one of you start handing out your own little time limits..
So fucking what !
He's probably laughing his ass off thinking your all idiots.

And even if he was 100% innocent which is not really possible, it doesn't matter !
He is still responsible for it all.. it's STILL his responsibility as an escrow to hold shit securely etc.

Getting scammed is a some what reasonable mistake even though i said escrows are dumb all along
and that i would never use one anyway.. why would i trust someone that could do what we see here i though ALL ALONG.
I said it's simply i only trade with people i trust.. and no i i never have been ripped off in Crypto on any trade.
Never used an escrow nor would i ..unless i knew the escrow'er for a long time *maybe*.
You people were gullible to trust this guy in the first place !
Surprised he did this ? I sure as hell am not !

So..
At what point do you all DOXX the shit out of his ass then have the world hunt him down like a dog ?
How many more time extensions are you all going to give him ?
Another week and another week and another week ?  ....Until when ? When do you say ok this is enough ?
And if you all don't unveil all his info you are enabling him to keep scamming probably.
Exposing this guy is needed so people can be warned ASAP.
The more info posted the better..

BRING ON THE SIGN SPINNERS !

Interesting, Please go on...

And, I'll be filing defamation lawsuits against all those who quote me.

[kingaltcoins]

Where are the victims now? Have they started suing him already? 

If not please start now. Already 48 hours is gone and he has not updated his returns! Very bad sign.

[The Sceptical Chymist]

I'm glad to see Master-P is paying back at least some of what he scammed.  I'm not sure what his plan was from the get go, but this looks like a longish-term no-interest loan which he had no business making.

He actually refunded the ones who exhorted him for filing a case if he doesn't pay back within 24 hours.

As for Tabata11, his family stayed near master-p's residence so he had no way but to refund his coins for getting rid of his consequences.

But what about yahoo62278, grtthegreat and others? They are still struggling.

That's where long term exit scam policy intervenes.

[Tabata11]

Looks like he is paying everyone back...still in progressed

How Eric stole people's Christmas
1. Eric builds reputation since 2013 in order to set up the escrow scam
2. Eric buys multiple accounts to set up phony escrows with people and steals bitcoins
3. Eric claims he was hacked and wasn't him when people start finding out
4. Eric moves funds to attempt to exit scam
5. But oh shit, Eric forgot to hide his identity and people knew who he was

Seems right?

right, couple of years to steal 24 bitcoin.

It was not his idea from the beginning , IMHO. He started to think to scam maybe due some his personal economic problem.

I have one question here. How did TECSHARE know his true identity when he had only bought cs:go skins with his steam wallet balance from him?

Edit: Sorry I got the answer myself after searching deeply. master-p purchased 2x collectible silver coins from TECSHARE.

Good job TECHSHARE for not deleting his address and phone numbers after that deal

Not likely he would spend over 2 years to scam that amount, here's what I think did happen(nearly the same as yours)
1. Eric builds reputation since 2013
2. During the last couple of months , he either gets in a economic problem, or starts noticing how easy it would be to scam a huge amount
3. Eric buys multiple accounts to set up phony escrows with people and steals bitcoins
4. Eric claims he was hacked and wasn't him when people start finding out

[allyouracid]

Makes sense, imho.

Also, let's not forget that he had Alt accounts which were involved in scams/shady activity. Whatever the reasons were for him to go full retard, it's not like he was not into any shady activity, before.

I think he was always a scammer in the past. If you dig into hos alts, there's a few scams dating back two years ago.

[suchmoon]

Looks like he scammed more than just that. You have his dox, so you probably googled around.

It would be really bizarre if he ran scams AND a 100%-honest-intent escrow at the same time.

Even though he does not appear to be patient and intelligent enough for a smart long con I can still picture him starting the whole escrow/trust thingy with a hope that a big deal would come his way and finally deciding "fuck this shit, gotta take what I can".

[The Sceptical Chymist]

Some people are on the fence morally, and it's possible some external circumstances prompted him to scam.  Gambling problem?  This is just my speculation of course, but some people...snap.  And do things they've never done before, like shooting up a day care, robbing a bank, or abusing bitcointalk's trust to pull a long scam.  Don't know about this, but is he still paying back?

I don't agree with you on the some people snap part, if people were like that...we would have way more of these scams pulled. Good people tend to be good, very few turn bad.

Well if we all agreed with each other, it'd be a very boring world.

I was just thinking out loud.  But people lose it all the time, especially if intoxicating substances or some other midbrain addiction is involved, like gambling.  You know, gamblers tend to do depraved things with money.

I don't think he snapped one day and decided to pull an exit scam. I think he's been planning this for a while and waited for the right time to scam. He was a scammer before this happened so

[SebastianJu]

I think that master-P's account never changed ownership.

His password was changed four times:
2016-01-05 11:37:58
2015-12-17 13:55:10
2015-05-25 15:26:43
2014-10-19 04:07:48
No resets. All of the above changes were done by IPs which geolocate to the same general area. Also, his very first post and his very last post geolocate to the same general area. And for the last several months he's been using mainly the same IP.

Oh well, that sounds amateurish. Really might happen out of a sudden that he decided to scam now.
