Sorry to be dancing on your graves but i have said it before: anyone buying into a 'currency' (McxFEE) that's issued and controlled by one entity, an entity with a track record of scammy actions, well he/she is just a blatant idiot.

R Hey, does anyone remember the photo that he posted of his tooth? Does anyone have a copy of that image? I never took a look at the metadata on that file. There might be something there.

I you are going to report him to Australian law enforcement, make sure you get his DNS record and print out the cooresponding ARIN whois info.

I am willing to put in some effort to find this guy purely on principle. I did lose money but he is just going to come up with a new sock puppet identity and scam again so must be stopped. |

I hadn't seen this topic before I had started a thread of my own, here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=347674.0 , but this was the jist of it. After having operated for 7 months mcxNOW is opting to shutdown with claims of re-inventing the site for its users. The fishy part is mcxFEE's about 2 months old are in-house shares in which have been sold to a tune of 0.4BTC at the time before the current rise in price. At this time it appears the owner isn't even offering to buy back the shares, after having roughly sold 50,000 shares, at the price of 0.4 BTC thats quite a lot. 20,000 BTC and at the current value of the moment that is roughly $17.66 Million and now he is shutting down the site....He claims he needs to remake the site, that no one else can manage the C++ code. It's pretty common for professional developers to inherit sites from other developers and make changes and maintain it, but perhaps he is more skilled than everyone else so only he can do it.
You guys be the judge, but all I can say it looks fishy, selling all those shares and shutting down, using a sob story to get away clean, either way, not cool, leaving a lot of people out in the cold. Make note anyone calling him out in his own chat, he makes a point to ban, seems none are allowed to speak out against him. I am not even a mcxFEE holder, but I feel for those that are, no one deserves that. So we shall see if he is a scammer or not if he returns with his new site. I would like to be proven wrong. I would hate to see people lose so much to a Chop Shop fraud scheme that this appears to be. |

Why not? He was vocal that he "could" do it. Everyone thinking differently is delusional, according to him. I made a lot of money on his exchange and it worked good, but he has very poor character. Also interesting, how he promised that new batch of mcxfees will be released in a way that for every 1 one holds he will have a right to buy 9 additional ones. Then he offer overpriced mcxfees at 0.4 which was at the time 80-100$ (depending on the date) and change his mind that everyone can buy them, not only current holders. Some got really fucked with this. Davidpate for example stated he lost a few 100ks of dollars. He also bought overpriced Solidcoins at the price 0.004+/coin. Just some weeks later I could buy solidcoins for 0.00016  Now they are probably worthless, I just have around 800 of them which doesn't bother me too much. Anyway, fuck you all who bashed me because I was stating the obvious - this guy is a fuckin retard. He is smart nonetheless. |

That's not going to help, you need to get the authorities onto aws who host the site in the US follow the money trail, IP's that sort of thing, IP's that access the BTC wallets. If he has paid $20,000 per year for hosting as RS claimed in chat yesterday, that's a pretty clear money trail. |

This doesn't give crypto-currencies a black eye.
This is all about greed & fraud, pure and simple.
It has nothing to do with Crypto-Currencies at all.
This is the 2nd Gilded Age of Greed & Fraud!
---------------------------------------------------
Fraud is rampant everywhere today!
And Greed has truly gone absolutely crazy!
Our world is spinning fully out of control!
Look around, everywhere. What do you see?
I see systemic fraud and the most extreme levels of Greed ever!
Just like anything this event is merely a reflection of society as a whole.
But it doesn't give this wonderful monetary revolution a black eye per say.
Instead merely another lesson and fact of life.
Scammers are everywhere these days. Be careful. Choose wisely. Don't be too greedy.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hardly a sole will trust him after this. And rightly so. Write off the losses, get your focus back. Get on with things. Don't look back. Learn from it. He simply and purposely destroyed his businesses Goodwill with this manure. His bs is all too transparent.
The following is how I decided to end/sign my messages here after starting out posting a while back.
Again it eloquently fits here in this message too. Guess I have a bit of vision...
Caveat emptor - let the buyer beware!

Yeah but he is just going to scam again. Come out with a new name for himself if no-one trusts realsolid any more and repeat on a new batch of suckers. We need to catch this asshole. He has been scamming this community since at least 2011 it looks like and he is only becoming more successful. There has to be clues. The feds Busted DPR off of a publicly available posting he made at Bitcointalk I believe. |

You could start with all the IP's he has used here, many of the Tor exit nodes and VPN's are honeypots for the authorities. |
