Well, this is sad to say the least, good thing he didn't harm anyone on the forum, which he could have if he wanted to, considering the amount of trust level he had.
What I want to know is, would this have any affect on Bitcoin in India or other bitcoin traders who had deals with him or BTC traders in general?

In India at present, RBI did not impose any regulations governing virtual currencies. RBI on 2013 probably, issued a press release on virtual currencies like bitcoins, litecoins, dogecoins etc. stating that creation, trade and usage of virtual currencies as a medium for payment is not authorized by any central bank or monetary authority. But after this situation I think they will become strict to their neutral terms! They cannot declare it as illegal since bitcoin enthusiasts in India are growing rapidly nowadays but they might be on the strict side in terms of law from now on. |

NO.They were criminals and police wont involve other innocents who are just trying to earn some money.Though anything significant might be traced. |

Looks like that escrow.ms has been removed from DT and therefore the users under his trust were also removed. However almost all of them are very trusted in my opinion and should still stay in DT. Some rough examples: icey, bithalo, hedgy73, SebastianJu, snarlpill... Full list: allinvain

I'm just wondering that
1) Who moved the thread back to Reputation again, as the edit and the thread purpose was to discuss DT removal of escrow.ms and his potential replacement.
2) If this is going to create another CITM like scenario, where people start complaining about their reduced trust rating
Lastly, theymos was a discreet in removing him, didn't even notice it until now.

Great, i heard rumours about escrow.ms being arrested but i didn't check it out since i did not even remember that escrow.ms was it that put me on default trust. I checked my pm's and yes it was in march the 12th 2014.  So now i lose default trust. It probably doesn't affect me but those i gave trust to. I think... I can't believe what happened. Being on here so long and for a stupid couple of months he did that? And when he only pushed around $60k then what was his share? That was so very unneeded, in fact i thought first he only was scammed by carders, like it might happen easily. But then he admits? How is the police in india? I wonder if confessions are always true or maybe sometimes coming from violence. Don't take it against me when india police is better, i simply don't know. And he funneled the bitcoins to some anonymous sheikh? Well, if this incident at all isn't bad enough for bitcoin, when they find out that this sheikh in fact collected money for the IS then bitcoin will take a real hit for sure. Not to speak about the second big escrow being caught redhanded. But now even even was on default trust level 1. Great. The trust in escrows might go down even more. And alot of big escrows stopped escrowing in the last time after master-P happened. Devthedev(devscrow), Blazed and bitpop left and Tomatocage might close his too probably. Great... being an escrow and having such users having the same title feels actually not really great. :/ |
Please ALWAYS contact me through bitcointalk pm before sending someone coins.

Why should theymos trust someone's opinions just because he was on a scammer's trust list? |

I see escrow.ms is still on Default Trust level 2 because he is trusted by Tomatocage and BadBear.
Bizarre.

Both are very inactive, not that bizzare when the person hasn't even known about the incident. |

There have been several polls done over the years for that purpose. I am not sure if we need someone added or not honestly. |

Considering there are less than 25 active DT members at the moment, it probably is a good idea. Even the usual scam busters like Vod, Ecuamobi and cryptodevil are less active |

Alright, so I was added to DT1 and am willing to add a few users if they truly deserve it (people I have overlooked). Feel free to make suggestions of people I should add (obviously I need reasons).
Edit: I will be very active with my list...

Cool, well my suggestions: 1) Cyrus: Active moderator, long time member, quite active in(Edit: Detecting, lol) suspicious activity 2) devthedev: Was a DT 2 member before CITM took the hit, long time escrow, member and trustworthy person. The other guys on escrow.ms list... don't think they actually deserved it, seems most of them got the position because of a few early escrow/deals. Edit: And congrats on getting back your 300+ rating  |
