KRUNIAC Scam ASIC 1 share

[BCB]

First off all this is probably a civil case not a criminal case.  Call a Police Station in MD.

Then I guess you could try to file a small claim in the state of CA or MD.

Finally, I have yet to hear of single case of where a bitcoin scammer was charge let alone convicted of scamming either civilly or criminally (although that may be changing).

I spoke with the Sheriffs dept. in the County where he lives.  This is very much illegal and is considered a felony if the sum of the counts total more than $1000 US.

To pursue this through normal criminal channels, each claimant has to submit a police report in the jurisdiction in which they live. Assuming 10 claimants, that will be 10 counts of theft.  This is unfortunate as I don't see enough of us actually following through with filing a police report.

The Maryland PD will be contacted by each of the 10 respective police departments and will add to the charges a larger more serious charge (I can't remember what he called it).

I think we have ample evidence, including concrete verification via chat log IP address.  Once the ISP has been subpoena'd there won't be a question as to the identity of the thief.

The Maryland PD already had him in their system.  The officer I spoke to didn't mention his previous charges, but he did verify that the address etc. that I provided was correct.
-------
The other option is to file a complaint with the IC3 (https://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx)  This deparment works in conjunction with the FBI and has the ability to lump all of the instances of theft together across jurisdictional boundaries.

My personal feeling is that each victim of this crime should file BOTH with local police and with the IC3.

Thank you. This is very useful information.

I sent the payment from MtGox, so I can't sign the message...

Here are screenshots of the conversations with Kruniac and of the MtGox payment to his address:

Can I provide anything else?

[Therealcos]

Btw, I live in Germany, and I will file a police report here.

Thank you guys for giving us a bit of hope back, you're great.

I think it's great someone is steeping up and taking care of the people burnt in this situation. Can I ask who and why?

First, thank you very much for doing this BCB and a HUGE thank you to BigBitz for returning the funds.  Everyone involved should throw forum TRUST at these two for their part in returning the bitcoins.

Update:
I've filed a police report with the local state trooper department here in Alaska.  I've also filed a report through IC3 (http://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx)

After talking to the local police department, they are going to follow up with the police dept. in Hagerstown MD.  When filing your local reports, please instruct the officer to do the same.

It doesn't really make much sense for 10 different police departments to conduct the investigation when the guy lives in MD. and they are aware of the situation.

[BigBitz]

I think it's great someone is steeping up and taking care of the people burnt in this situation. Can I ask who and why?

That would be me, I guess!

Right before all these guys got scammed I bought 16coins from Kruanic by international wire - I was able to cancel that today and recover my money.

Rather than keep 16 scammed coins I thought I can attempt to return some.

We have a community where we need people to stick together!

Let it also be clear there is around 35BTC people got scammed, I have 16..... I will need to make some decisions as to split this up fairly. I will be upfront and say none of you will get all your money back but you will get some!

[BitNit]

Right on! One of the few cases of instant karma.
