This thread is to bring light to the user
justbtcme who has been on quite a roll recently. First of all I was not involved in this dispute until he PMed me with this message:
Hello,
I am here to inform you that a user on your trust list, BayAreaCoins, has an open scam accusation against him, see here
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1397403.0
He lies and distorts facts, accuse others without evidence and greatly abuse the trust system which encourage other scammers to follow his example. This is something that we should not endorse.
I believe that he is trying to pull a long con on this forum based on the numerous conversations I had with him in person.
I would like to respectfully request that you remove this user from your trust list until the scam accusations are resolve.
All the best,
JBM Taking him at his word, I reviewed the substance of his complaint, and actually found that he was the one at fault and simply attempting to slander
Bayareacoins in retaliation for calling him out on his unpaid debt owed to BAC. As a result I negative rated him not just for his unpaid debt but on principal for trying to slander BAC for warning people about him. He then responded by giving me a retaliatory negative rating, and then posting in several threads making lame attempts at destroying my reputation.
Since BAC doesn't want to waste his time with this loser, and now I have personal interest in seeing him exposed so that my trust rating will be restored. I am opening this thread to present the evidence against him so that his retaliatory rating can be rightfully dwindled down to a meaningless state. Currently he has many ratings from highly trusted users here, and that gives him a significant amount of influence within the trust system. That should not be the case, and here is the evidence to prove it listed below.
Here justbtcme admits to taking the bet for $1000 :
(please ignore the time stamp, it is because I had to reconstruct the quote forum code because the thread was locked which prevents quoting)
Would strongly advise people not to do this with this user.
Defaulted on a bet with me and Paypal can be reversed months down the road.
I could totally see him gambling away his money and then charging back funds to recover blown money.
I did not default on anything, I tried to make it right with you for a bet that was super flawed (pacquiao had an undisclosed injury) but I still paid up and offer to send you more to make everything right and that's the reason why you "wrote off the debt"
Fact of the matter is that I've long settle that issue with you so please just get over it.
He claims this debt was "settled" and "wrote off" but considering BAC does not agree, I am not sure as the one owing the debt he can just unilaterally decide he doesn't owe it any more. They had a discussion about the debt, and he agreed to send BAC some physical dogecoins as payment for the debt
knowing that the coins would be auctioned off for a local children's hospital. Halfway thru the auction, the creator of the coins, CryptoImperator posted to the thread stating that the coins he was unknowingly selling as funded, were not funded, which ruined the auction and could have put BAC further in debt as well as open him to criminal liabilities.
Glad to see our coins are being auctioned for a good cause!
Although we wanted to point out, that some of these coins, for example the one in the fist picture with the damaged hologram and following address: DGzd678KD6VTXN7SPcDtKosZoM4fFWAwo4
Is not funded even though it is not marked with laser; Why is that? you may ask... They were damaged in shipping and promptly replaced with new ones, which were funded. So bear this in mind when bidding, we already had another user contact us because of that, he redeemed one of these "damaged" coins and claimed that it was unfunded...
Eh wasn't aware of that and thanks for the information.
Please keep this in mind when bidding.
The original owner of these coins should have pointed it out to you... looks like he did not tell anyone and sold them as funded...
When BAC proceeded to mark his profile with neutral ratings and then warn people about him in his sales threads he proceeded to PM the message listed above to many people who have left BAC positive trust ratings in an attempt to harm his reputation in retaliation for bringing light to his unpaid debt and attempt to defraud BAC, in effect stealing from a children's hospital. This is when I got that message from justbtcme and I started reviewing this case. As a result of his retaliatory rating for me, I am posting this here.

Well here is a real con artist attempting to slander multiple legitimate well established traders in an attempt to try to cover up his fraud. He is here served up to you on a platter with proof. So I am here asking the community to please put his reputation where it belongs, in a bottomless pit of red. Thanks for reading and rating.
