my guess is that he used the btc you paid him to pay this:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=29899.msg449702#msg449702

and he's desperately trying to get enough people to sign up so that he gets paid from the program (probably after a few weeks), which is then when he could buy you the giftcard.


did you ask him for a refund?

[bou707]

ugh, cant he just ask he friend to pay him back?

[bou707]

but what about me?
he took 15.5 btc from me?

[bou707]

ok, I hope you can pay back in 4 weeks (end of august), like you said
thank you

at first he said he got hacked, but turns out a friend played a prank on him, and took out the bitcoins in his wallet/pc and tried to send it to his own address but he sent it to a different address so the btc is lost.

I will get my money back in 3 hours

Were they sent to someone else's address, or an address that doesn't belong to anyone?  If the address doesn't belong to anyone, we should add them to the "known lost bitcoins" count.

Why don't people use escrow when trading with people with no reputation??

[tsvekric]

i dont know he didnt say which address he sent to

then its probably a lie.  I would assume so until he provides the address/block explorer

It's the end of August. How is this coming along?
