We found proof that Mike saw the premine as his personal property, eventhough he always said it was for promotional purposes only.

08:09   iamatrix   I play in Alt coins.. then convert to BTC

08:10   iamatrix   lol.. have you played with PXC?
08:11   allban   i put the btc back in btc-e when the rally began on pxc/xmp :/

08:11   allban   thinking of re-buying some 50k+ alphacoin also, should not be much lower, so only upside
08:12   iamatrix   seen this? http://www.coindesk.com/feathercoin-phenixcoin-and-worldcoin-partner-to-form-unocs-the-united-ope...
08:12   allban   hehe have 27.8 pxc from multipool i see now
08:12   iamatrix   I have 800K

This was recorded 7/17. He felt entitled to profit. This is probably why he has no problems at all with taking our money, he feels like he deserves it. This is how people  anti-social personality disorders think.

I very much regret not digging into his background  a little bit more before trusting him and John with so much of my money, time and  energy. 6 months and 5k euro down the drain.

But I learned a lot from it

They owe me 103,779.14064843 SXC

They did return my BTC, although it was a very trivial amount.

After losing almost 0.25 BTC worth of PXCs at coins-e I had decided not to use any more dodgy exchanges. But PhenixEx was the only one trading SXC at that time

Can we get a scammer tag for the involved parties please?  I believe we've given them plenty of time to refund users.

[Joerii]

I don't think they are gonna care at all if they get a scammer tag. They haven't logged in in almost two weeks. After the 22nd I'm going to post their real names and addresses though, so we can name and shame them as well as sue them.
Nolo and I are strongly considering starting a civil suite against both of them. Hell, I don't even mind spending money on it if it makes it harder for them to scam again.

They'll eventually come back.

The last time I had contact with John was more then a week ago. I have his personal phone number. Last time we spoke he promised he would check up on Mike again. I then had a short conversation with Mike on Skype in which he only kept repeating he's working as fast as he can and that I can ask questions via email, using phenixexrefunds@gmail.com.

He has, however, not responded to my emails since. Also, John has changed his phone number, and the email adres he gave me ( john@vincevouyer.com ) is not accepting incoming mail at all.

Both John and Mike are now completely ignoring or actively blocking any attempt for anyone in the crypto world to contact them.

They are trying to hide behind a veil of anonymity. Cowards.

I'm not going to allow them to run away from their responsibilities. Mike messed up in a big way, but the exchange, and all assets concerning it belong to John. So he can't simply blame Mike and get on with his life. Ignoring us does not make the problem go away.

The thing is : I know exactly who they are. Their real names, adresses, everything. So here's my plan :

I'm going to send them a letter by old fashioned airmail, in which I demand the coins to be refunded to their respective owners. I will give them a ten day period in which they get the chance to put the money together, in case Mike ran off with it. If they fail to comply I will then post their full identities here and assist everyone to report them to the authorities.  

To be absolutely clear ; I DO NOT want anyone to threaten them with violence, or have anyone bother their families. Lets keep this civil, but let's get what we deserve.

I'll post the letters tomorrow.

If this is your proposed course of action... You can start by simply posting the relevant jurisdiction so that remote folks can start spinning up their "Small Claims" documents or contacting the local solicitor to them, and then just fill in the details when the rest of the information is made available.

One of the sometimes unfortunate benefits of crypto is that when folks run off, they can move quickly, so attaching illiquid assets with liens and such has to be done with some alacrity and justice tends to be slow at times.

Taking that first step may also be an innocent way to show your seriousness of intent.

Good idea.

John lives in New Port Richy, FL.
Mike's in Las Vegas, NV


The letter should be in John's mailbox any time now, by the way.

How can we help?
