Obligatory I'm not dead or running post

I don't have any special way of contacting him. I don't know anything about his current status.

No Bitcoin BTCatsignal?  How did you request he send the forums funds back before? Just PM or email?

Email.

And has he emailed John again asking what's going on? He seemed to come back pretty quickly the last time he did.

Has anyone else? Seems like most are just waiting for someone else to do something.

So, theymos appointed John as the mod and asked John to hold 1000 BTC when theymos only know his email and his bitcointalk account username?

He already had a good reputation back then, and was considered trustworthy enough by theymos to be entrusted with 1000 BTC, which at last years exchange rates was worth ~20-30x less than now.

I don't know, but I think an email from Theymos holds a little more weight.

If you have a problem with John regarding his escrows, that doesn't really have anything to do with the forum. This thread is also a better fit in service discussion since it's about his escrows, not meta.

No, it have EVERYTHING TO DO WITH THIS FORUM. He was in an important position provided by the administration and used exclusively this forum to provide his escrow services.

By now you should assume anyone in an important position on this forum is a scammer.

There are plenty of good people too!

[Dabs]

Yeah, there are good people too. Theymos, if you need someone else to hold those coins, ... ...

I think, more than anything, John K does not have the intention of just disappearing. Something has happened to him, and unfortunately we don't know what.

I think the community is far too forgiving.

If a facilitator for escrow trades fails to honor his deals in a timely manner, and there's no good explanation for it, this person should be labeled a scammer.

If doing intercontinental flights, or doing activities that could put you out of commission, like hiking in the mountains for a couple of weeks, you make arrangements that will secure the integrity of your operations.

John K. is what? A student that does a lot of air plane trips? And people do not know who he is in real life, and yet they trust him with big amounts for escrow transactions?

While I don't intend to be involved much in this drama, it's certainly not okay to be late on escrow payments. That's how you break trust.

Didn't he disappear for a couple of months before he returned? (only to disappear again).

Exactly, it's all very strange.

Really, who?

[CoinDiver]

At what point do we start talking about legal action? I guess we need to ID him first?

My guess would be that it's up to Coinroll, who so far (to my knowledge) seem uninterested in resolving this. But maybe they've been making investigations of their own. Though I'm sure some people in the forum are aware of John's identity. I'm not really sure why there isn't more of a response to this.

The address still has the coin in, I'm sure more people than myself is watching it.

My guess is John has been incapacitated or has had some hardware problem. Though his popping up and paying Theymos then disappearing again is massively suspicious. Perhaps we'll never know.

its very good question who is really good person here on this forum now

[Polycoin]

John is a scammer, no if and or buts about it, either that or he carelessly lost the coins..Anyway..

I am the most trustworthy person on this forum, give me our coins and I will keep them safe for you, so safe you might not even be able to get them back.

I agree with you after TF and bit365 you are the most trustworthy person here on this forum and we need escrow service provider like you

You should gather what info you have on him, but not sure what legal action would be successful here.

I think legal action is realistic as long as you have the information, I'm sure coinroll would love someone else to do their job for them.

[gidi337]

well unfortunately john was on the malaysian airline.

i did call him and all i heard was glug glug glug  *

i got his last whats app message that he is now doing escrow service of fishcoin ™ .  although he is not happy with the  volatility as there are too many whales where he is.

he claimed that his escrow service is now the safest as all fishcoins are held in very cold storage secure at the depths of the ocean unaccessable to any hacker.

he has not had a chance to reply as he needs to sign everthing but his ballpoint pen does not work underwater

The malaysian authorities have now given up trying to search with pings and are now using dongs

Yeah, but what do you have other than an email address? Will law enforcement even be interested in or do anything about theft of bitcoins?
