Enough has been said in this thread - If BitcoinGO / btggo.net escrows with trusted escrow I can see no room for loss if DT are saying there is no proof. Will re-open is proven scam, No Proof as of yet

Scams
tagrcoin, mercurial, equilibria, bitsupra, bitcoingo

I have some other proof also but I dont want to make this public at this time or it will cause this guy to react, If a trusted dt member could contact me I would happily send them this proof. These are files, logs etc

The BitcoinGo (btggo.net) ICO plans on being a scam.

I have developed the site for this, I was asked to create the site, create the ico stuff and host it on my server (45.32.159.176) in return for 32% of the ICO.

I started getting suspicious about what he was doing when he was getting funny about signing a message to the escrows to release to both of us. only after an hour or so without me developing he said he sent the below, not sure if he did or not, The Address 1D9AQsCCZvK1fZA1VyTtTUUR2YQ4fwDxWq belongs to me and I can sign it again

https://i.imgur.com/1F5drfJ.png

I gave him access to the site and the files as he wanted to edit the frontend, He shortly after gave me the link to a c9 workspace where he was editing the file. I noticed some workspaces were public and noticed one with ekilibria (Equilibria, another ICO Scam I was caught up in also, Last time I worked with him, he scammed people and me, I didnt get a cent) and one with the name sale, I had a look and this workspace was another ico scam, BitSupra. He is the same guy I called out here - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1348388.0 - I had a feeling it was him and I asked and he refused to know who that was.

http://archive.is/6HgpK

This guy also let it slip that the graphic designer was taking 32% which only left 36% left for a whole project. which I would assume he wanted a cut.

Once I found out about this I questioned him and he tried to blackmail me into continued developing and scam otherwise he said he would say it was all my idea as all the proof is on me. thats why I took archive shot. He has already said this to his graphic guy. I beleive not much will stop this guy. Even when I signed that message he said I had to reword stuff like it being for the project as redundancy funds otherwise escrows will cancel the whole project.

He has also bought this account M28MmickT, He is some mexican guy and said without buying a forum account no-one would beleive him.

So he has now stolen some of the site and launched it again by himself and said he will pin stuff on me if I tell you guys.

http://archive.is/bP3m6 - post #87 - he is trying to scam now I have stopped him having access to the ICO script, I have given the ICO site to the escrows Dabs and Shorena
To Add: he has deleted some posts now since the above archive.

He plans to launch a shitcoin clone he will get built by someone and get phase 1 of the ico and run.

once he see's this he will most likely try and sell the user and run.

This person approached me with developing skills (which are clearly null) he was part of the team but tried to hijack and scam our funds, we are nothing related to other projects this scammer talks about, he is from united kingdom and his name is daniel bertone.

He says he is a developer and cant even make a php script. he should be neg repped.

From what I have investigated, this person is  a serial scammer making cloud mining scripts, and scamming other users, I cant even believe he has green trust.

The whole script has been passed to escrows. Dabs and Shorena, They can be the verdict to this.

It is funny you have the same name as the guy that scammed me with equilibria.

My name is public anyway, I dont care. I have no reason to care about people knowing who I am.

Glad someone forwarded information about you before I started anything, you are a serial scammer always "hired to develop something" that ends in scam, maybe you are the one who scams right?

His developer skills are not developer ones, but scammer skills of this thief.

I didnt hack it, i never said I did, I stopped it from being hosted on my server, I informed escrows and community of your scam. I done what I set out to do, warn people of your scam - Jon.

You are the one who re-hosted it. You own the domain.

edit: scam confirmed, it is a purchased account, he knows nothing about website design, so we hope what more tech?

Good that it was found out so fast. Even before something was invested. Refunding is a huge and time intensive hassle.

I also was asked but self moderated thread and instantly starting ICO is not a good sign.

Please ALWAYS contact me through bitcointalk pm before sending someone coins.

He was hastily also. No proper ICO is rushing like that. No Ann-Thread to find interested persons but instead starting ICO instantly is a bad thing also. Stupid for investments of legit projects. And usually negotiations are needed so that the escrow can make an ICO safe for investors. I'm not sure if that happened here, maybe I was asked later.

In any case, be lucky that you did not go through and later had the hassle of refunds. It's either very time intensive or very risky to escrows since everyone can simply claim a transaction id is his. There is more needed than that.

Please ALWAYS contact me through bitcointalk pm before sending someone coins.

He now seems to be very bitter and doing as I thought, trying to blame me for everything because I called him out.

-snip-
Sorry but I have to say LOL, honestly, go to your nearest mental care institution for help, you uncovered by yourself your long list of scams, what a piece of shit.

Maybe you are correct and maybe you both deserve a negative rating. The problem I have right now is that I dont trust you. I dont trust icanscript either and their proof is weak, but you raised a ridiculous amount of red flags.

Anyway, here is my view on this and why I left a negative rating. Bullet points version:

#1 Contacting me with a signed message that proves nothing. Address in the profile of the account used to contact me, tells me the account that contacts me contacts me, nothing else. On top of that, the message didnt verify. I would expect someone that contacts an escrow to ask the escrow for verification.

#2 Contacting me. I have no active escrow thread, I dont activly promote this service and I was gone for 2 months. If you end up with me and I dont know you, you have either gone through a lot of other escrows and they all denied or you have a specific reason to contact me. Maybe you want to exploit my little experience in the field.

#3 Self moderated thread. Seriously, I dont care who you are. It makes you look bad instantly. I know the spam is bad, but the obvious troll posts had not been removed and 'local rules' are usually a better alternative.

#4 Rushed time frame, as SebastianJu already pointed out, the show was about to start.

(#5) The post that told people not to send to the multi sig address covered by escrows. Im still not sure who payments would have been received. Might be just miscommunication though and you actually wanted to say "not yet".

#6 The payment rate, 3% (!) of (potential) 3200 BTC. Why would you pay 3% if you can get the most trusted escrow this forum has to offer for 1%? Not only that, 3% each. That does not strike me as a sane financial plan.

#7 The payout wording for the stages. "Stage 1, A maximum of 530 BTCs or 25% (whichever is more)". This could have potentially drained all funds.

#8 The stages and the amount of coins needed(?) for them.
#8.1 Stage 1 "Main net launch" and "Coin distribution". What exactly costs 530 BTC here? Is this the amount needed after stage 1 to reach stage 2?
#8.2 Android PlayStore launch is 1 month after Beta Release.
#8.3 "Stable Profit"? The idea is not new. I know people that worked on a similar project (without the special currency) in asia. It failed.

#9 No reference to past projects. This is not a small project, unless you are a well oiled machine and have experience. If you have experience, show it off to build confidence in investors.

#10 No proper signature campaign. I would expect you to be busy with the project at hand and thus hire a manager, escrow the funds for the campaign. The usual.

#11 Probably the biggest red flag, this all is just a concept, there is no indication that anything besides a fancy homepage was actually created.

#12 Uhhh, I forgot one. Dabs and me wanted a 3rd escrow, you never contacted them and told me some bullshit about need to see an ID. Seriously, why would you require an ID from the 3rd escrow, but not from the 1st and 2nd?

Im not really here, its just your imagination.

I had sent you (and dabs) the whole backend script that was made by me,  In the original PM of me notifying you.

The only scams that I have been part of are ones where I have been hired to develop something and not realised the code was going to be used to scam, Both of these cases (Equilibria, BitcoinGo) I received no money for anyway and I was scammed also. Does a company who manufacture knives deserve to be blamed because some idiot used their product for criminal reasons?

I currently see no reason to leave you a negative rating and I dont see why this should change any time soon. I dont trust most users here, dont take it personally.
