I gave him the benefit of the doubt at first, but after moving to a legitimate pool, there is no way his payouts are even close to correct. He is either incompetent as a pool operator or a scammer.
Same exact sentiments here.
Even accounting for the "growing pains" of a new pool, DDoS attacks, and connection issues, it became readily apparent 2 hours in at a different pool, when I was cashing out as much as I made my entire time at his, that something fishy was going on.
I can only believe the few people who chimed in saying they were paid, everything's great, etc., were either part of the scheme, or perhaps just a few random people he paid out correctly, to keep the charade going for as long as he could.
Now that the jig is up, he closes the pool. Kind of shows you right there what was going on.
