[MAC]

DO NOT LEND ANYTHING FOR THE MOMENT.

NEW: I am still seeking BTC, 5% / week interest rate: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=154032.0

I have also revealed our business (btcQuick.com)

I am seeking a 24 bitcoin loan to cover some significant and profitable orders recently placed. I'd like to fill this loan through the forums.

Here is my solid BTCJAM profile with over 530 BTC repaid: https://btcjam.com/users/594

17/17 rating, and my accounts have being over 8 & 13 years old. I need the coins urgently to fill the orders, or we would be forced to cancel them.

26.4 BTC will be repaid within 2 weeks from day.

My address: 1MACx2wdi4MqriR2Ate1Uhwa7vh73XgXXV

Please reply with your repayment address.

MAC is a top-notch guy.

If anyone wishes to buy insurance on any of his loans, please PM.

MAC is legit. He's a trusted borrower on the secret ”other” site. (Don't PM me about it)

Thanks,
MAC / Mike McNierney

What you might as well be saying:
"Can I borrow 200 BTC? It's totally worth the risk, because I'll pay you back 300% in an hour."

[Eisenhower34]

How about an USD denominated loan?

Can fund your loan (via MtGox USD or BTC or paypal) for $100 interest per two weeks. Max runtime 2 months. Need a copy of a valid passport or drivers license and a proof of residence like a gas / telephone / electricity bill.

[Eisenhower34]

"I am seeking a 24 bitcoin loan to cover some significant and profitable orders recently placed."

According to that statement you already have the order, the exchange rate and you know exactly how much USD you can pay as interest... so I dont understand what currency risks you are talking about.
Anyway I can only offer you an USD denominated loan due all those price jumps latly. let me know in case you change your mind.

I understand that people here are hesitant towards lending to me, however I have a rock solid record and profile on BTCJAM. Over 530 BTC repaid, fully verified, and eBay / PayPal accounts over 8 years old.

I have borrowed multiple 100 / 150 BTCs and have all repaid them back. There is no reason for me to default on this loan.

Thanks,
MAC

Because you can take out a few loans and pay a few hundred dollars in interest, then default on one and make off with $9000.

Wow, and I was planning to lend him some btc on btcjam.. Dodged a bullet right there thanks to confirmations

Is his btcjam account compromised?

Actually, is his account even compromised? Or pretend to be and run away with 24 btc?

According to Ascension, nope. However, I'd be wary of lending anything until further verification is done.

I was browsing the lending forums when I saw MAC's post's. I immediately called him and asked him if he made the post's and he said no. His facebook account was also hacked. I know MAC IRL.

His btcJam loan is still valid. MAC is working on changing all his passwords for all his accounts.

MAC & I will never post anything requiring a BTC loan ASAP. This should have been the first indication that the post was fishy. As soon as MAC regains control of his account he will post a response to this mess.

[Eisenhower34]

So the 24 BTC are lost? Puh, i dodged that bullet.



Looks like my request for an ID scared him off, taking my loan offer.

Mac should offer Squall some kind of compensation because it was his password that was too weak and causing this problem... Maybe a 50/50 split of the 24BTC?

Great method to steal money.
You compromise an account and post a loan request from it, then you come with your regular account and pretend to loan 24 BTC. Then you make the real account owner feel bad about your "loss", so he will give you 50% of the Bitcoins "lost" to the hacker.
I see a lot of potential for abuse. Not saying Squall hacked his account, mind you.

[Eisenhower34]

You are not the smartest criminal psy

So instead of stealing directly 24BTC from any thirdparty you are later trying to convince the original owner to give you 12 BTC.
Maybe it works for low reputational accounts but no low rep acc holder can give you 12 BTC. So either way its no masterplan

[🏰 TradeFortress 🏰]

Could also be malware that started recording bitcointalk account details instead of just mt gox ones? Since apparently his facebook account was hacked too.

Either way, this raises the issue of authentication. This is where PGP comes in

Not the smartest and also not the dumbest. Just not a criminal at all

In 95% of the cases its a weak password. Malware aint really easy to get to a specific target user and even so its the users fault to open the links or click the exe file. There are cases of course where you got the malware through an exploit. So its your fault for not updating your software.

Those exploits who are "unknown" and where no update could have helped are very rare and really expensive. They arent used to scam "only" $1000 ...

[squall1066]

I got shot again, This is not the real mac? I shall wind up my business here, And leave the community.

[Monster Tent]

As the larget bitcoin community site its fucking retarded that the forum doesnt have 2 factor auth.

[poly]

Making everyone auth on OTC paid off!

[squall1066]

Mac has logged on since and not written to me or posted anything, Something is not right, If a hacker then why return to the scene of the crime, If not, Why is mac quiet? I shall warn everyone away untill this is sorted.


Also, Why use a vanity address? and the coins have not moved since?
