Let me get this straight. A donor to this forum scammed people. I bet that never happened before.

Hi Phinn- thanks for your input with this. To give you a summary of where I'm at, I know who he is and where he lives (I also know his gmail address and had his phone number until he changed it. This is another of his profiles https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=109112). He probably has at least 1 other profile too, since his latest scam and being called out I'm sure he's checking activity on the forum wondering how worried he should be getting but he's not doing it on any of the 3 I'm aware of. At this point it will either go 1 of 2 ways, 1. I'll give him a last opportunity to return the BTC he owes or 2. It becomes a legal matter (I've discussed this with authorities in Vancouver and know the options available to me). I'd be happy to go into more detail for you by PM and once this moves in the 1. or 2. direction I'll update this thread with more information. I don't want to disclose too much openly at this point however.

I've been contacted by 2 new members over the past week. The first "curious1" ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=241762) wanted to know how he/she could avoid being ripped off using BTC- they have not logged back in since they read my reply (where I explained I was fortunate that I had been able to collect the personal details of the person who scammed me and was making it a legal matter). The next message I just received from a "holt007" ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=247771) who had this to say; Hi, I am an Investigative Assistant with the BC Securities Commission. It was brought to my attention that there may have been a breach of the Securities Act involving Black Lilac Financial Corporation and associated individuals. I would like to talk to you about what happened. Could you please contact me at xxxxxxxxxxxxx. Thank you. Anyone else been messaged by either of these people? I find it highly coincidental that I would be messaged by 2 separate brand new members within a week. Interestingly "Black Lilac Financial Corporation" was never a registered company as I understand, whereas 2ASIC was, and yet this individual refers to them and not the registered company. (BC stands for British Columbia as Grant Millar is from Vancouver) I'll call the number provided when time zones permit and update.

http://www.bcsc.bc.ca/about.asp?id=16The number I was provided matches the first 6 digits of the listed contact number on the BC Securities Commissions website, assuming they use DDI's it looks like this may be a legitimate contact. I'll call them when timezones permit and I'll provide the number as required to anyone who has been scammed by "blacklilac".

Good call, however I actually called the number and it indeed went to the voicemail of someone at BC Securities Commission. This is turning out to be a very interesting development. The private investigator had this to say "I can tell you that if the person is legit, the BCSC is very aggressive and effective in pursuing and prosecuting violators". My only concern is that it seems they're mandate is based around fraudulent investments rather than consumer purchases but if it pours more dirt on his coffin then that's fine by me.

Appreciate the input. I've spoken with the BC Securities Commission and will submit the information to Canadas "anti fraud" department (who will not take action of themselves but will retain information on file for use in potential future legal proceeedings). Admittedly this hasn't had my full attention lately but I'll arrange for the PI to deliver a document outlying how I can prove Grant Millars fraud, the agencies that are aware of his conduct and the legal action I am capable of taking if he does not take responsiblity.
