Good find. So he bought that hotel with labcoin funds and is trying to flip it? Should be easy for law to track him down now.

So this guy bought an entire hotel with our money and nobody has the balls to track him down?

Quite the successful bitcoin scam...

Although I doubt Alberto actually owns the hotel. Probably just another scam.

I wonder if the talks about italy police are correct. Maybe its better to target the chinese police. I mean they seem to like bitcoins as topic and busted already scammers. Maybe he really tries to hide in hong kong...

If he really feels as confident as this looks then its not a good sign.

I am offering 1BTC bounty for any information that leads to his capture.

Not much, but its a start. Hope others will join me in making a pledge.
Lets create an incentive for people to track him down and turn him in.

Actually my post was more or less a repost of a post from the other thread:

Hi guys,
just a note: this place is really nearby Carbonia, the place where Armandi's family lives:

https://www.bitpremier.com/items/view/485
http://cryptocrimson.com/2014/04/9462-btc-buy-23-room-hotel-island-sardinia/

I remember to have read somewhere that his family owned an hotel - is this just a coincidence?

It is my assumption that the coins are at least in part long gone.  Don't you remember dooglus coming on this thread and strongly hinting that a large deposit/loss was tied to the labcoin address?

edit... spelling and link

A police investigation is underway but that's it. Maybe time to open a bounty on www.bitcoinbountyhunter.com ?

At least to find the guy.

Guys... im part of LCSH, the group of users that decided to go after the scammer. Believe virtuals that some good news are there, though dont be too happy yet until a good ending happened. Lets say there is some hope. I guess you might wait some weeks since i believe in some weeks there might be already an update available.

Like I said in the other topic, I've had Skype contact with Alberto. At one point he invited me:

[4-7-2013 3:16:52] Alberto Armandi: i will get you a nice accomodation
[4-7-2013 3:16:56] Alberto Armandi: at my family hotels
[4-7-2013 3:17:03] Alberto Armandi: not far my house

Also (this was about a Hotel booking site idea he had):

[9-1-2013 14:10:23] Alberto Armandi: if you have an hotel yeah, i got 2 accounts before, my family runs 2 hotels, now my father decided not to pay booking.com invoices LOL and they revoked access

And some more hotel talk:

[10-7-2013 21:37:46] Alberto Armandi: sardinia is a tourism place, look for it on the web
[10-7-2013 21:38:19] Alberto Armandi: when i worked at the hotel, i met countless NL mates
[10-7-2013 21:38:53] Alberto Armandi: i'm just at the south-west of sardinia
[10-7-2013 21:41:09] Alberto Armandi: just a couple years ago, last time i worked in the field, i had some guests from Sicily in the hotel Costa Antiga

I already offered to send some of the transcripts in for the Police report. But I doubt the information I have is new. It's not going to lead to groundbreaking discoveries.

Has his previous Bitdaytrade scam been mentioned to the police/lawyers too?

The Police aren't paid to care.. they are paid to uphold the law in their own countries.

I think the problem is that not enough people in those countries are making official complaints.

the FTC in the US only took action against Butterfly labs after they were bombarded with complaints and because Butterfly labs was based in the US.

Since Labcoin was based in HK and Alberto is now likely hiding in Italy. It really is going to take a lot of complaints from HK residents or EU citizens before the authorities get more heavily involved.

the US authorities are unlikely to get involved unless Alberto goes near America.

unfortunately none of the relevant authorities are going to listen to me no matter how many time I complain.. because I am neither an EU, HK nor US citizen lol...

the best we can hope for is that Alberto makes it onto an interpol watch list.. if that happens then he can get nabbed at any airport and then handed over to which ever authorities want to deal with him.
