Todamont is referring to a 2FA coin that he bought from a third party, not directly from Titan. I'll reply to his first post, but I want to reiterate that we offered to make this right and Todamont refused to be made whole.
"SCAM.
Don't trust Tim Fillmore. TitanBitcoin is on the list on known scams, I lost 1btc to Tim Fillmore's scam."We're only on the "Scam list" because Todamont put us there after refusing our assistance in resolving this issue.

Tim has multiple databases tracking "funded" coins, and there is corruption among thoses tables. When you try to redeem the coin, he will find an excuse to not pay you, and then have all his scammer buddies trash your profile reputation, and threaten to call the cops on you and anyone who has ever been in the chain of custody of the physical coin in question. "Todamont bought one of our 2-factor authenticated coins from a third party. Todamont will not reveal who he purchased the coin from, but he claims that it was sold as a "funded" coin. However, from what we can tell the coin had already been redeemed when he purchased it from this unknown third party. It also seems that Todamont did not attempt to verify that the coin was funded when he purchased it. Had he done so, he would have seen that our website indicated that it was not funded.
In my first conversation with Todamont, I requested that he file a police report so that we could work with law enforcement to track down the person who misrepresented the coin when it was sold to Todamont. He refused to do so. I don't know why he refused to report a crime on the part of that seller, but from that point on he became defensive and as you can see from this post, unreasonable. Any further efforts on my part to rectify the situation were met with him simply refusing to work with us.
Tim accused me of tampering with my coin, after I opened it. He's a fucking scammer.This is false. The evidence points to Todamont being the victim of a third-party reseller who managed to convince Todamont to pay full price for an unfunded/redeemed coin. I never accused Todamont of tampering with his coin. It is strange that Todamont wouldn't cooperate in prosecuting the third-party who misrepresented which he purchased, but that doesn't imply guilt.
I contacted the CFTC and the police about Tim Fillmore and his scam, and the CFTC said they are waiting for more reports before they investigate, and they had a TON of questions about his business. Since then I have been contacted by more victims claiming losses from owning Titan Bitcoins that they are unable to "redeem". I advised them to file complaints with the CFTC also.If any "victims", have suffered losses from owning Titan Bitcoins, that is news to me. I'd encourage those people to contact us at
sales@titanbtc.com so that we can resolve any issue for you.
I know of one case in which someone new to bitcoin received a Titan coin as a gift and they threw away the hologram, private key included, without realizing it was needed to redeem the coin. There was nothing I could do for them, and I felt pretty terrible about it. That's exactly why we created our 2-factor authenticated coins. Other than that, and this issue Todamont encountered, I don't believe anyone to date has "suffered losses" from owning Titan Bitcoins. Quite the opposite. We have many stories from people who have made fantastic profits reselling coins. If not Todamont, I would be bold enough to claim 100% customer satisfaction with what Titan does.
My reputation is trashed though, because I was the first to stand up against Tim, I had about 6 people leave negative reputation marks on my profile in the scam accusation thread, and claim that I'm a thief and a scammer, without ever having met us or being party to that transaction in any way. I had an eyewitness when I unsealed my coin, and both of us are executives at blockchain companies and I have no need to steal a single bitcoin from anyone. The reason I grilled Tim so hard is that I was actually employed as compliance officer at a bitcoin exchange at the time I was robbed by Tim, and I was required by law to report him to various federal authorities.It appeared that Todamont got negative feedback because he resorted to personally attacking people that have had good experiences with Titan. I didn't encourage anyone to leave feedback for him and I didn't rally anyone to my cause. The facts of the case stand on their own without any social proof needed. I actually asked some forum members to remove their negative feedback from Todamont because it wasn't called for.
If you'll notice, Titan Bitcoin is listed now, on the list of known scams, here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1326821.0Again, Todamont was responsible for this SCAM listing. It is technically libel, and illegal, to call Titan a scam in the context of calling me a scammer...but let's focus on the positives. The reason nothing came of Todamont's accusations is because they are baseless.
We're not always the fastest to respond to customers (small company, limited staff) and occasionally our website goes down (regularly under attack from DDOS and other attempts to harass..because hackers are dumb. Our private keys are exclusively offline in actual bank vaults) but we keep our promise.
If you buy a Titan Bitcoin, we have your back and will resolve any problem you have with our service or products. I really do feel bad for Todamont's loss, but he refused to cooperate with us to find a resolution and refused to work with us to prosecute the thief who actually stole from him. Todamont never wanted anything other than to shift the blame for his mistakes onto Titan. When that didn't work he decided to start personally attacking me in an attempt to extort Titan into giving him a bitcoin. Apparently, he's still at it a year later. I would advise anyone reading this thread to avoid engaging with Todamont in any capacity.
