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

[coltlover]

Would somebody relate to me how a minor living at home was going through a couple of really rough months?

Not living at home, ran away because dysfunctional family of bitcoin gamblers and drug addicts.
Why would a minor with stable family life even get into bitcoin?

[Assmaster2000]

You failed to answer a simple question asked twice. Welcome to my ignore list newbie account with nothing to say and trying to derail the thread. I urge you to ignore me too.

One question only in your last post, that being "What if I pay back the money?"
That what you expected me to answer?

[The Sceptical Chymist]

Wait a minute, it hasn't been confirmed that MasterP is a minor because he hasn't been doxxxxed yet.  Or did I miss something?

[SebastianJu]

I guess 2016 is not the year people here stop getting all excited when assholes pay back <1% of the money they owe and give them more time to get away. Maybe we'll stop getting robbed in 2017.

Get away? I have his name and home address. He might even be a minor. What is he going to move to Mexico on $12,000?

If he is really a kid then i would not be comfortable in doxing hiim and releasing it publicly or even making him spend years in jail. But i doubt he is.

So it's all kosher if he's a minor?  Kids are allowed to steal $12k without repercussion?

The above pertains to minors and punishment in general rather than master-p's case in particular, I haven't yet decided what side of the story to believe and it doesn't actually matter what I think so long as people get paid back.

Who said it's acceptable or appropriate ? but i can't agree to spoil his whole life for one mistake he might have done when he was in puberty.
Kids get thrilled by these things quite readily and if this is a foster care case then it's more worse.

Though you can see it from another angle too. He did not show any form of remorse. The inconsistencies in the story seems to make it impossible that his story is correct so no remorse so far.

Letting him go without a punishment of some form might make him to an even bigger scammer in the future. Because "it worked fine".

Though maybe we speak about a topic that is not really actual... we don't know how old he is.

What i would want to know... someone received a foto of his id with a written text and username... is it sure that the id wasn't copied into with nice photoshop skills? A better proof might have been to have the id together with his face on a picture. At least big exchanges, who probably thought a lot more about that topic, are doing it that way. One picture the id, one picture face and holding ID.

i did not read everything here, but he is indeed a scammer or simply his account was hacked or whatever?

and why scamming now when he was escrowing a large amount of bitcoin before? no-sense to me

You need to read the thread or at least skim through the contents of this 49-50 paged thread to understand what actually happened. Its really complicated.

It really isn't complicated at all.

A bunch of geniuses gave some anonymous/posible minor a bunch of coins to act as an escrow.

He did not hold up his end of the bargain. (There are lots of "complicated" explanations for this, but whether he stole the coins himself, or got hacked, or sold the account, or some other nonsense, he did not do what he was supposed to).

He then started following the playbook we have seen thousands of times on this forum for scams, pay back tiny amounts to buy time, and the people ripped off followed the same playbook every other scam victim has of sitting on their thumbs and hoping they will get their money back because they are incapable of taking it back on their own and unwilling to go to tha authorities because of reasons.

In the end I'm sure it will work out just a well as it did for those who sat and hoped Gox, neo and bee, bfl, active mining, black arrow, moolah, pirate, gaw, hahfast, etc.

Please give me three lifetimes to find an error in your assessment, for I'm sure there's at least one in there someone.

If you really want to do something you can fill in some more things for my etc, that was just off the top of my head.

These things always amaze me. Pages and pages of BS that revolve around arguing something that doesn't matter.

It doesn't matter if he was hacked, sold the account, stole the coins, got kidnapped, had his mind stolen from his body via aliens and put into a computer, or what.

People paid for a service. It wasn't done. Instead of doing something about it the scammed are going to sit here and wait for a miracle to happen, and it's going to work just as well as it did the last thousand times.

I came up with a really good solution, but people just called me names

Master P, they're not gonna leave you alone for what, like, 50 weeks it'll take you to pay at this rate?
Somebody's gonna lose his cool & dox you.
The smart thing to do is go to a dice site & bet .4BTC until you make the whole amount back, and then pay back the whole thing.
This way you at least have a chance of not being doxxd.

What do the creditors think?

That's the stupidest idea yet - gambling with what funds you do have to pay back a debt. Please tell us you are trolling.

I think this is basically what G.W. Bush wanted to do with Social Security contributions, so there are definitely people who think this way.  It's a tax upon the mathematically retarded.

Not retarded. It'll take him 50+ weeks to pay everyone back, paying at current rate. Chances of getting doxxd = 100%.

Sure, the odds of winning 20+ BTC starting with just .4 are slim, but slim is better than nothing

Besides, if he loses the .4BTC, he can just tell people he lost & try again next week.
People will forgive him if they knew he lost their money gambling

If he has the money he should pay it back. Gambling on dice sites is an excellent way to make whatever number of coins he has go down, so I don't know you well enough to call you names, but that is certainly a stupid idea.

What part of "if he don't pay back the whole thing now, he's getting doxx0rd, and he ain't got 20+BTC" don't you get? Dude, lrn 2 game theory, you clearly need 2 educate yourself.

The game theory on this is simlple. They have a shitty chance of getting any money back regardless of the situation. If he owes 20 btc and has 5, you would be better off just getting a piece of that 5 than watching him turn it into less than 5 on a betting site. Game theory and dice sites don't belong in the same sentence.

I did a few transactions with master-p in the past.

Most recently I purchased some GPUs from him in January 2015. That's after the account was bought, right?

I think the account was bought a few times latest was in August 2015 if I understand correctly.

I dont really know exact dates, I'm not sure anyone does.

This thread is one good reason bitcointalk account sales should be banned on here right now with immediate effect.

It was last purchased in September 2014. Master-p claimed it was sold in August 2015 in order to attempt to avoid his personal information from being released, however this claim was debunked

[ab8989]

I am sorry. I got tired and have not read pages 20-50. I am sorry if I am not up to everything in my understanding that
the problem currently of not having any info where master-p lives makes it impossible to start any legal action against him.
But even in the case if he is a minor there is a clean and morally 100% acceptable way to get forward and out of this situation.

1) TECSHARE posts publicly which police station is closest to the place where master-p lives
2) TECSHARE phones that police station and tells them the master-p doxx info.
3) All the parties that have been scammed out money also phone that police station and file a claim
4) the police start their work investigating the fraud and the wheels of justice begin their grinding
5) the scammed people might get their moneys back because the added pressure of police knocking on the door might make the whatever technical problems master-p is having mysteriously disappear.

All steps 100% moral and kosher even if master-p is a minor or one-legged dwarf or whatever.

[coltlover]

... police station ... All steps 100% moral and kosher ...

He never sold nor transferred that account. It was just a fuckin' lie. I look forward to any info you may have as to what is his name, address, etc. The fucker isn't a minor, thus I have no qualms with doxxing the son of a bitch.

Here's my fuckin' theory: TECSHARE is in on the scam.

Curious, as to who the fuck is having the mods delete my posts from thread.

I'm gonna ask again, what are my posts relevant to this investigation are being deleted, now with asking once before via a post being deleted as well?

I'm pretty sure that I'm the only monumental asshole that took the time to read every one of master-P's posts, several more than once - AND STILL READING THEM!

Delete this fuckin' post, and I'll throw a quart of eggnog across the room. HAHAHA

master-scammer's official version is that the account was purchased in sept 2014 and remained in his control until mid december 2015 when it was hacked

if you have his name and address you should probably consider making it available to the victims if not publicly

I'm looking to sell one of my primary steam accounts.

Some statistics about the account:

7+ Years old account
Steam level 50+
700+ games owned
8,000+ Market Transactions
500+ Trades Completed
1000+ Hours on CS:GO
3000+ Hours total playtime

Inventory is mostly empty, but I am selling the account with the huge games library and the high steam level + reputation that follows it.

The account has 100% clean rep, has community market enabled, and has a decent amount of "cash rep" from trading keys and skins for money. Great for if you want to get into CS:GO/steam market trading.

I am the original owner and creator of this steam account.

For safety reasons I won't be revealing the identity of the account publicly but will be happy to PM the profile link to anyone who is interested.

I am asking for 1.5 BTC

PM me for any additional details or questions you may have.

The ONLY other post in the thread was two days later with P declaring that he sold his Steam account, then locked the thread. I'd say that he was already positioning his exit strategy excuse beforehand knowing full well that he was going to steal the money in escrow around Christmas time, thus fucking everybody else's Christmas but his own.

'twas the h4x0r who posted that sale (according to master-scammer's timeline)

funny though how the hacker shares the same attitude towards signature campaigns
