Many altcoins are telling their members to stop doing tx with this tradesatoshi exchange, DeepOnion recently removed ONION from this exchange https://deeponion.org/community/threads/trade-satoshi-closing-down.43455/#post-668309

These tradesatoshi scammers stole almost 0.7 bitcoin from me, blocked the withdrawal of funds for no reason.

And just like that, they are gone.

These tradesatoshi scammers stole almost 0.7 bitcoin from me, blocked the withdrawal of funds for no reason.

I'm starting to think that not only do they not have the BTC to repay their customers, they haven't had it in a long time. It would explain all the stupid games they've been playing for almost an entire year leading up to their closure.

The last time they moved coins out of their OMNI hot wallet was November 1st of last year:

(the 18rK... address corresponding to the OMNI hot wallet is only one address out of many that TS used to transfer BTC, however... would need more blockchain evidence to associate other wallets)

Does anybody have full wallet details operated by Tradesatoshi scammers? Can we try to work out what they actually stole by the time they closed their trash website?

And just like that, they are gone.

I wonder if there is a thread where people can see updated list of scammers like Tradesatoshi? it would be easier to check that list and avoid tx with all these scammers.

Did anybody ever find the owner of Trade Satoshi, Francesco Alibrandi?

https://www.facebook.com/FrancescoAlibrandiTradesatoshi

Surely he can't just continue on a professional career in crypto after running what was a pretty major exit scam at the time.

I'm thinking this account was him all along:

Hey where did u sign up for the tradesatoshi signature campaing?
i cannot find anything on bitcointalk, i would like to join, i know my account is new but i will try to be more active

fratoshi... could be Francesco (aka Fran, Frances or Frank) Satoshi or even Francesco Alibrandi Satoshi.

This idiot might still be hounding me today, and that would explain why. Not only did I help identify his exchange as a scam but then I got his Bitcointalk account banned as a cherry on the top.

His first post was an ANN for a coin called FRATOSHI... He later renamed it TRADOSHI... which sounds an awful lot like Trade Satoshi if you ask me. Not many similarities in between the two websites, except for they both employ Domains By Proxy. The domains were registered 59 days apart, not sure that necessarily means anything.

This account tweets a lot about ColossusXT and Bitcoin Private, which were listed on TradeSatoshi for years:

There used to be more information about the Tradoshi coin but all the old links are dead.
