I found this in my PM history, he asked for a loan and then sent this: http://puu.sh/ahpCW/2c4aa0af5f.pngDidn't think much of it at the time back in last sept, was lucky enough to have denied it. Wishing chainsaw the best of luck in recovering funds. |

Does anyone know what happen to Projects?
Someone mentioned he went to jail growing marijuana at home?

Anyone who's been scammed by Projects please send me a PM with the following info:
1) Which address you sent coins to & how much & when
2) What you were supposed to get in return
3) How you got in contact with him
4) Whether you are happy to file an official police report with ActionFraud to extend the information on the case
The bitcoin address part is very important. I remember for a fact that at least one fraud involved an address under my control (lost the chatlog unfortunately) and the right address along with a proper report could decide the case.

I don't think he intentionally scam people. Getting into jail is probably the reason why he can't respond to lender. |

I don't think he intentionally scam people. Getting into jail is probably the reason why he can't respond to lender. I have to disappoint you there. He took coins from like a dozen people, one person he took for 200 BTC and then walked away. The scamming part is not really a question anymore. |

Didn't someone post a link to some news article where we thought he was a heroin addict ?
If true, it explains a lot...
And as the poster above said, its confirmed... he just left... no need to discuss it.
But I wouldn't be surprised if he came back with the classic "I have had health issues" post...

I'm the guy that he took 200 BTC from.
Efforts _are_ ongoing, but discretion remains important.
It wasn't heroin; there was a same-named, same-town individual (Edinsburgh) that made the paper for growing marijuana in his home. I don't know if it is the same individual or not.
You're all free to do what you choose, but I would strongly recommend not giving out any information such as that requested above, unless it is to a law enforcement officials that has provided you with their credentials.

This x 100 I wouldn't be surprised if the real projects is using the forum under another account keeping an eye on things. |

I remain in a frustrating holding pattern.
A case _is_ ongoing, which is why I haven't shared more details.
I asked for an update a few weeks ago, and the update was that there was not an update since I had last asked.

There had been two ongoing cases against him.
They have now formally consolidated into one.
That case remains delayed, it is just a question of when the delay will be cleared.
Wish I had more to say.

Wow I'm surprised there's still activity on this. I had assumed it had probably come to a dead end. Thanks for still pursuing it. |

I know how much this impacted my life. And at least a dozen other people were impacted, too. It is not about money, but justice. |

I have an update.
Initially I worked with a local police department.
They put me in contact with an FBI officer.
In parallel, the UK fraud division routed me to Scotland Yard, then to work with the Edinburgh police department.
In the past year, the FBI handed off its information to the main investigation, in Edinburgh.
About a year ago, Projects' electronic assets were seized and put in a queue for analysis.
Today, I received word from the Edinburgh constable that has been working my case.
David Williamson, and his partner (news to me), have now been interviewed and formally charged.
The case will be viewed by prosecution in the coming weeks, as they determine a path forward.

Sounds positive, Chainsaw. Is it stated what he is charged with? "put in a queue"..... there is/was alot of this going on then, eh.  |

As for charges, that is the current/next step. Those decisions will be made in the coming days/weeks/months.
For the queue - the evidence was put into a larger 'computer analysis' queue.
I was blessed the case was given to a constable with the right combination of grit, perseverence, and commitment to justice.
A big reason for so many of the delays is that there is no precedent for what happened here. An Edinburgh department took a case for an American, within the realm of 'Nigerian prince fraud' scheme. As a rule of thumb, those don't get solved. They patiently took the time to gather and understand the evidence, ask the right questions, and push forward with the case.
This was a huge step in the case.
The next step is critical, as it has the potential to set positive precedents for future cases.
I'll keep this thread apprised of things as they develop.
