Last Saturday I won 8 bets totaling 172.1 BTC at Blockbet.net.  The owner shut down the site early Sunday and issued a statement here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=136184.0

He claimed to be paying all bets that day but now it's Wednesday and I've yet to receive anything.

Does anyone have contact information for this individual?

Even if you use Bitcoin through Tor, the way transactions are handled by the network makes anonymity difficult to achieve. Do not expect your transactions to be anonymous unless you really know what you're doing.

I didn't even know the site existed.

This is terrible.  Not sure if it matters, but a scammer tag should be applied just in case he tries to come back without paying.

Seems pretty clear that he would simply craft a new identity for his next scam.  Nevertheless, a scam tag should be added, just in case.

Betsofbitcoin scammer (coinjedi) stole more and didn't get tagged. Why would this one?

No response from any mod to this thread or the thread in Gambling or any of the spam PMs and troll posts that have been received.

What a dumpster fire this site is, just like the entirety of the Bitcoin community.
