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

[Vasu]

So he was paying before some days .
May be this man had some real problems with his wallet and now the problem is so big that he cannot access his wallet and the man donot have extra funds in his own pocket to refund or repay.

I just hope so. Still can't believe how a such trustworthy man do this. Also, how much time does to it take sync the wallet and send the payments back. Its been 8 fucking days, and he isn't even responding now. He hasn't online for the last 10 hours (at the point of writing this message). Fuck this shit, I'm really annoyed. I got my 3 BTC stuck with him.

Man It is sure that an impersonator owes the account "master-p"
But the impersonator (new owner from August 2015) acted same as the real man of the account ? And acted as escrow similarly like before ?
I didnot use escrow service of this man but just asking no one noticed changes in this man's behaviour from aug. 2015 , the time he sold it ?

Can you tell use more about the deal? When exactly the account was transfered, how much coins you received, a TX ID, etc.?

Hold it now. You mean you sold all of your reputation for 1BTC? You could easily have asked for a loan and then repaid later  

BTW, how much BTC does he has in escrow right now in total?

Over 8 BTC for sure

That transaction happened in September, when the account was said to be sold in August. Was there a password change in August or September? I believe if someone buys an account the first thing he would do is change the password. Something isn't right.

Account selling is bad in itself but selling the private keys+pgp keys is worse. people will blindly trust if someone signs a message with a private key or the pgp.

[Athertle]

i met with u last year and u seemed like a great guy, what the fk happened man??

He sold his account in August, apparently.

I think any chances of the current owner of master-P returning the funds is pretty low now - even if he returns all the funds, he'll still be marked as a bought account.

[mexxer-2]

Best case scenario the guy comes back and returns all the BTC, right? Based on what I've gathered reading this thread the coins don't seem to have been spent, yet.

And the new owner even had the courtesy to change the feedback of : Gladimor - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=306481   (from positive to neutral)

If you notice, user cyclops ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=131952 ) leaves the exact same reply

there is a separate tx, i sold the account for about 2 btc which was a great deal for me at the time. I don't believe in borrowing, especially not from this community. I never ventured into those lending sections.

I knew the risks when I sold the account but at the time my life was at a more dire situation so I didn't take much time to think. He was also very convincing in telling me he wanted to continue the escrow service using my identity and reputation, and that he had no intentions of scamming. Without knowing his actual/original account on bitcointalk, I knew I couldn't trust his word here for sure but I guess I took the risk anyway. When I sold the account I was only holding about 5-6 BTC in total in escrow.

Sorry guys, I wish I could do more but I don't even come on here anymore nowadays. Some people here still have me on steam. I did some deals where the new owner of the account forwarded to me simply to keep the persona without it having it figured out by the community that the account was sold.

A big part of the deal was that I did my best to keep the sale private, much like any of my other account escrows I've performed for the community in the past. I thought that was fair so kept my mouth shut and played along.

Sure, I suppose people here can blame me, believe me or not believe me, at this point I can't do much. I knew showing up here would probably only make things worse for myself but I can't really care too much right now. Think and believe what you will. My apologies again everyone, I won't be back.

Yeah dude there's no way on this freaking planet that you can expect people to believe you sold your default trust account HOLDING 5 BTC in escrow at the time for only 2 BTC, and "you don't believe in taking loans"? But you believe in handing a complete stranger 5 BTC that are in escrow at the time of someone else's money? You could have made 2 bitcoins selling fake trust in a single day, that would have been better then this. This entire situation makes absolutely ZERO SENSE. Folks, IF this guy himself doesn't directly have your bitcoin? He definitely knows who does. UNREAL !!!

The timing isn't quite right. You sold it in August and the other person paid you in September? You do have lots of trust to the other person. Additionally, if it was paid at that time, the account should have a password change somewhere around there. I checked the seclog in September 12 archive and October 13 archive and none had a password change on your account. It's a bit limited however, we can just asked theymos for the clarification.

There is a tx in August I can't find atm.

- He paid me up front about 50% of the agreed price.
- I provided the account access. He explained his leverage on me was that if I were to revoke or scam him at any point he will just reveal I tried to sell my account, thus destroying the account for both of us. Keybase and my gmail account is also given to him.
- He does not change the password because he does not want anyone to know the account was sold, so he changes it later.
- We agree the second half of the payment would come after about a month once he feels everything is all right and settled in.

Everything was done elaborately to help prevent the discovery of the account's transfer in ownership. During the whole time I assume he had good intentions to continue my service because I definitely didn't have time to partake in this community any longer.

Again, believe what you will. I just thought it was better for me to say something than to ignore this completely after it was brought to my attention by someone on steam.

I can confirm Master-P sent a PM from his Bitcointalk account by my request on September 4th, and once again on the 5th.

Well sorry, We really don't believe in your BS. you're a scammer or part of a scam.

It doesn't matter if he was complicit or not. He is directly liable for this scam via his own active negligence for profit. At the end of the day scammer or not, this is all a direct result of his actions putting liability squarely on his shoulders. Selling your account is not such a good deal when put into this perspective.

[Heutenamos]

He purchased an SD card from this user  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=520885

and maybe TECSHARE can confirm if the shipping addresses are the same.

Hard to believe anything right now. Considering which account was sold, its probably the only way that it could have been done without anyone asking questions earlier.

I dont get this either. Personal problems aside, at which point do you think this deal will end well?

[Vasu]

The real man cannot scam with so much green trusts.
The man sold his account to an impersonator (surely for low amount) and the impersonator took advantage of the situation . Build more deals for a while and then he found he was getting "huge escrow deals" . The impersonator became greedy , decided to run off and game over.
Damn it is the greediness of the impersonator and a big mistake of the real man behind it. Both the mans are responsible.
I conclude the man has already run off and dont think he ever comes back.
I also conclude if the man really had problems with his wallet why he accepted more escrows with his infected wallet.

Its still very hard to believe that he would accept 2 BTC for his account+escrow addresses with 5-6+ BTC+keybase account and even his email from an anonymous person.

He should at least know who is behind this.

NO, I don't believe this to be true. I believe that account was never sold and that master-p and the jones guy above are the same person, this is most likely an alibi to protect his steam account or something else.
