I was auctioning items for other people.... I do not control them or their items.
I have stopped doing this, that is why the last auction was cancelled..
It looks like you are being a little dishonest.
When you backed out of your auction to sell the 1000 BTC cas coins, you said you would be more transparent in ownership of coins you are selling for third parties: (July 11)
I would like to apologize to coblee and the community for not doing my due diligence
Future transactions will be transparent and items ownership confirmed before selling or auctions.
Yet, over a month later, you backed out of an auction to sell a cas brass halve (August 12) -
http://archive.is/okLEh#selection-409.0-409.10These three statements can't all be true. You have had several auctions since you stated on July 11 that you would be transparent about ownership of coins you are selling, did you personally own all of these coins, or were you selling them on behalf of other people?
Further, minerjones was acting as an escrow for an ICO
when losses were incurred, and minerjones did not offer to make his customers whole, contrary to my understanding of the obligations of an escrow agent.
So minerjones was acting as an escrow and charged a fee for his services even though he failed to keep the funds safe, didn't pay everyone back, and this is the first I'm hearing of it? This is why it is so dangerous to stay silent when you see this sort of behavior. I thought minerjones started acting shady after doxxing CanaryInTheMine back in March, but it looks like the behavior may have started earlier than that...

...or did "investors" not agree with your plan to compensate yourself for losing their money?
One of the three escrows, yahoo... was able to 'hussle' someone he believed to be the person who stole the money into buying BTC to repay what was lost due to the escrows' negligence/incompetence/greed. I believe that investors were eventually repaid with BTC that was hustled by yahoo.... however public statements were made that in the event of no recovery of stolen funds, that investors would face losses.
[it was the "seller's" fault
No, it was MJ's fault. He is the one who opened the auction, and he is the one who is responsible for seeing the high bidder being able to purchase what is being auctioned according to the terms of the auction, which fail to state the item is owned by any third party, and do not have the option MJ to back out of the trade.
Shocked hearing the escrow deal that was mishandled by him.
Shocking? Mishandled? Are you serious? That was the setup that was used by several different escrows at the time, and
everyone was informed about the risk before investing. I have not seen any evidence that anyone was informed of the risks. If anything you covered up the risks in order to sell your services to potential scammers so you could "earn" a higher fee.
I will have you know those auctions MINERJONES did, he did for me. Know this, there were extenuating circumstances involved with each of those auctions. Not that I feel I owe Quickseller an answer...but some of you are top of the line traders and sellers, you guys and gals all know who you are, and you know I'm an honest person.
You had "extenuating circumstances" on four separate occasions? This sounds kinda fishy to me, especially considering that on each of the occasions, the items were not resold at a later time. It also looks like this is
not the first time you have stepped in to support MJ after he backed out of an auction....interestingly enough this is one of the times you are claiming to have caused MJ to back out of his auction.....one might see this discrepancy and call you a liar
