Bitcoin Exchange OKPAY Wants To ‘Sue’ GitHub Over “Libelous” BTC-e Claims

OKPAY CEO Sergey Mayzus has said he is preparing to sue GitHub following accusations he was involved with BTC-e.

A group of the exchange’s customers, which set up an action page on GitHub, had encouraged the public to “report” Mayzus to FinCEN and Cypriot financial authorities over “working closely together” with BTC-e.

“Mayzus and OKPay are working closely together with BTC-E,” the website still reads.

Mayzus subsequently retaliated saying his lawyers had sent GitHub a request to remove the “libelous” content but had not received a response.

“However, up to this day, we have not received a response from the owners of the above website and have not come to an understanding with GitHub Inc., which brought the lawyers of my companies to start preparing a lawsuit against GitHub Inc. and the owners of the website btceclaims.github.io,” he wrote in a statement on OKPAY July 31.

Another interesting information has resurfaced again today that has added another drama in the BTC-e seizure. To quote GitHub:

Sergey Mayzus, founder of Mayzus. Mayzus and OKPay are working closely together with BTC-E

This is such a accusation indeed. Sergey Mayzus already released a official statement denying any connection with BTC-e.

Aside from whether or not this all is true, the more days have passed, the more entities are popping up being connected to btc-e in one way or another. It's quite frustrating since everything that pops up, slows down a potential attempt of people being partly refunded. And yes, I know that the chances of seeing anything back from btc-e were already near zero. US government definitely knows how to shake up things in a negative manner....

Okpay and btc-e is a company mayzus investment company, I have not been to the btc-e remittance recently, do not know why, opened a few tickets customer service is not back, we be careful.

FACTS KNOWN TO DATE:

  a) Many complaints about them on boards, everything from money going missing to failing to respond to support.
  b) They have no direct bank account, but are using payment services like OKPAY and Mayzus
  c) They operate on the following forums (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=433283.0 and Russian https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=29698.0 ), but tend to delete posts/complaints they don't like.
  d) They hide their servers behind CloudFlare, but they have been ping triangulated to be in Europe, probably London.
  e) Their SSL security certificate is fraudulent.
  f)  Their DNS Registration entries are false.
  g) Their website offers no API for bitcoin withdrawal, a service that every other exchange provides! Huge red flag!
  h) Their website has "Copyright © 2011-2014 BTC-e.com." but since there are no company registration details, this is legally invalid.
  i)  They are using the following Mazzars Financial services bank account:
                         Beneficiary:    Mayzus Financial Services Limited, organizacni slozka
                         Beneficiary Address:    U Vystaviste 287/17,170 00 Praha 7, Czech Republic
                         Beneficiary Account:    107-7747130227
                         Beneficiary Czech Bank Code:    0100
                         Beneficiary IBAN:    CZ58 0100 0001 0777 4713 0227
                         Beneficiary Bank:    Komercni banka
                         Beneficiary Bank Address:    Na Prikope 33, 114 07 Praha 1, Czech Republic
                         Beneficiary Bank SWIFT:    KOMBCZPPXXX
                         Correspondent bank:    SOCIETE GENERALE
                         City:    New York
                         Country:    USA
                         Correspondent bank SWIFT:    SOGEUS33XXX
                         Correspondent Account:    188190

    j) They only tell you about their 0.2% trading fee when you join, but their withdrawl fee's can be up to 10%!!

    k) The following bitcointalk users claim to have lost (missing transfers) or had stolen (unauthorised transfers) money at BTC-e.com:
                         legster                    $1000.
                         EvilLizardApparel       8565 LTC
                         bradmurmz             BTC200
                         libertysilver             BTC4.77 + 526 PPC + 306 LTC
                         pindis                        19 LTC
                         flagstaff_miner        BTC43.75
                         z12                         BTC30.48
                         ub3rCoin                  $10,000
                         OversightNL             BTC4.8
                         Unclegogi                       100 TRC
                         Shiba                       BTC7.9
                         ychunlau                  BTC4
                         redmist                      108.5335 LTC

       l) None of the 'terms and conditions' you agree to when you join are binding either way, because they do not name the legal party!.

       m) They trade on their own site, this gives their own arbitrage bots an unfair advantage over over public, as trading without fee's at faster access
           effectively corners the market.

        n) In february the website released a statement, which amongst other claims said: "The company plans to soon begin to publish publicly available statements certified by external auditors. " This has of course turned out to be a lie.



RUMOURS TO DATE:

  a) They are owned and run by Russians.
  b) The company is Bulgarian
  c)  Servers probably in London
  d) Probably where most stolen bitcoin are traded due to absense of Know Your Customer (KYC) regulations.
  e) Used by some parties for bitcoin price manipulation.



What you can do:

a ) Is there a UK resident out there that has paid money into BTC-e.com via Mayzus Financial Services Ltd?? If so, could you consider sending a standard Data Protection "Subject Access Request" to Mayzus for yourself. This should reveal details of BTC-e that so many people are searching for. And if it doesn't, then Mayzus are breaching UK anti money laundering laws.

b) Anything else you know? publish it here.

c) If you have money or crypto stock with them, protect yourself and get it out now. There has to be a reasonable chance that they are fraudulent and
   just the process of unmasking them may cause them to run with your money. So you have been warned!

Did Mayzus sue Bloomberg or Reddit over the following?

https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/2m9pp0/caution_relationship_between_btce_and/

Here's an odd coincidence, this article from bloomberg that details the secureinvestment.com scam (http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-11-13/forex-investors-may-face-1-billion-loss-as-trade-site-vanishes.html?hootPostID=30ceb1967be98ed871bb8c50375b9e96) states that Mayzus Financial Services transferred funds to an investor of secureinvestment.com that wanted to check the integrity of their service (500USD)

For anyone who has used BTC-E, Mayzus Financial handles all their transactions too, along with a host of other online money services.

"Mayzus, you got some 'splainin' to do!"

I understand that law enforcers have the duty to do...to run after people and organizations who and which scammed people of their money but the USA government authorities have to respect sovereignty...the whole world is not anymore at their disposal. This is actually one of the many reasons why the prestige once enjoyed by America is almost gone in the international scene.

The money that they have confiscated have to be returned to the right owners as soon as possible...that is if they are really after justice and not just to project their almost worthless paper-tiger power. Not returning the funds ASAP is akin to daylight robbery. Very negative, indeed!

The scam buster is here. Thanks Gleb for a very insightful information about Sergey Mayzus. If we are going to piece the puzzle, it looks like he has somewhat a shady personality and maybe he is using his company as front for his scam activity.

Aside from whether or not this all is true, the more days have passed, the more entities are popping up being connected to btc-e in one way or another. It's quite frustrating since everything that pops up, slows down a potential attempt of people being partly refunded. And yes, I know that the chances of seeing anything back from btc-e were already near zero. US government definitely knows how to shake up things in a negative manner....

They indeed shake up the crypto industry with the seizure of BTC-e server and subsequent investigation that they have started. Although BTC-e have mentioned that they will refund their customers on Sept, I doubt that it could be done by that time. Authorities have the funds frozen for now, so I don't know if they can get it back in time to give back to those legimate owners of it. I believed that this saga will continue and will drag for several months before the customers will be refunded, but personally the chances are slim, just saying.
