Hello,

Sorry for this, but I've had enough...

I've been waiting for my BTC refund for orders #538 & #539 done via the btcfpga.com site (later transferred to order #490 on the bitcoinasic.net site). My order was put on 'refunded' last week with the message that I would receive my refund in 3-5 days.

I have not received anything yet, hence this post.

Ironically, I came into this community right when a Tom took a lot of people's money. I left and came back right when another Tom is doing the same thing.

Tom, your you're a thief.

It's sad that he won't be clear about what is going on. He may have spent the money on misc. business functions and can't refund it. Think about what the charge backs cost. That's purely speculation of course. Obviously he didn't set out to scam people and he probably doesn't have a dime in his pocket for all the time and effort he has put into this whole thing. He probably got screwed by someone promising him chips.

The whole thing is very sad. But he does deserve a tag for sure. People have paid money and not been delivered to or refunded.

Thomas Van Riper aka (cablepair), you are a piece of shit.

thomas@thomasvanriper.com - Make sure to let him know he can fuck himself.
(315) 908-2693 - Seriously, tell him to fuck himself.

Can anyone find his home address from this info? Google voice phone number, PO Box address... This scam should've been more obvious...

Dave also profited from this scam and should be labeled as a scammer for his PR role in this scam.

The bolded is out of line, if Dave was just an employee. He was the one that told everyone to chargeback instead of submitting refunds.

The rest is fine, Tom has had more than enough time to return everyone's BTC or let us know what's up.

I believe Dave (buzzdave around here) did his best given the circumstances... Hence, he's not mentioned here.

I have not received anything yet, hence this post.

There are two statuses that apply to BTC refunds:

"Refund Requested" - means I got your payment address and put in on the master list of refunds for Tom to pay.
"Refunded" - means I verified that your payment address received the number of coins on our list (using blockchain.com)

If you had a CC order:
"Refunded" means I triggered a refund using the credit card system.

What's the connection between Dave & https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=140366.0 ?

Seems the 100TH Bitcoin Mining project popped up right when Tom closed up the bASIC scam and Dave seems to be the middleman in both. Is that the next Tom scam, buried behind aliases this time?

Dave seemed pretty open and truthful about his actions, or at least wasn't caught in a lie (yet). I hope he's clean and will be still transparent in case Tom decides to become a felon.

I still think Tom has a choice to clear his name & everything. The window is closing though. This community has seen to much bullshit and I'm sure there are ways to involve the police in such cases, without costly lawyers and all that stuff.

Dave,

We talked on IRC, you changed my initial orders (#538 & #539) done via BTCFPGA.com to order #490 on bitcoinasic.net. You gave me store credit for the amount of the initial orders & I had to pay with a CC and a sum of $0.50 (because the webstore wouldn't allow anything else). I have been refunded for exactly $0.50.

Where is the rest of my money that was originally paid in BTC?

The fact remains, Tom is a scammer. He can still fix this by refunding everyone...

You have/had contact with him, what's going on?
