Hello, Do I report it to Estonia Interpol for fraud/scam? Also that son of a b**ch should be homeless.

[MMos]

Anyone who believes Kenneth's story is just a plain idiot and deserve to never see their BTC again...

1.  Kenneth has the time to come back here and provide us with this information while he claims to be able to contact the Estonia dev but he has not done so to end the scam, while people are claiming to threaten himself and his family.
2. Kenneth was the person who registered for the Coinmarket.io until withdrawals began having problems and luckily someone copied it down before he changed it to a PO box ( which also belonged to the company he works for)
3. Kenneth wants to get everyone to think he is innocent by providing information about an Estonia dev, whos information is made PUBLIC on the site : http://www.etelaranta.com/our-team/

I can C+P the info from any of these profiles and claim they are the person behind it. There is no proof that this other person is in any way connected to CM, while Kenneth's info for the site was conveniently changed. If he really had no involvement in this, he would not take the time and effort to come back and spill all this fairydust on everyone. Why hasn't he reported to police? Because he is scared the police will investigate and find out he is actually the person behind it all!

Use your head people, think about this, why are we chasing after this other person when Kenneth is obviously involved/ behind all this!

So is Kiur Köster the scammer behind CoinMarket.io?

Breaking News, Exchange owners details revealed

First off a special thanks goes to Holzer for capturing Kenneths details, we obviously don't know if Kenneth would of come forward willingly with Kiur Köster details, also with Kenneth providing
the details below we not here to pass verdict on his innocents but he has given C3ALL with the below information to help the community track down the owner of the exchange.

I tried calling the below number yesterday to find out from Kiur what is the status of the exchange, unfortunately there was no answer, the skype name also checks out to what Kenneth provided
and we also believe the bitcoin funds are currently residing on btc-e.com.

Kiur used the alias thekiur on btc-e.com as per the links provided below.

To further prove Kiur is involved the IP address for Inception (IRC) did originate from Estonia.

Hi Chris!

Thanks for your reply, and I will in this PM release the information I got on the developer/owner of the website.
His timezone is GMT+2, so its about midnight there now at the time im writing this.
I hope this information will help you guys get to the bottom of this. I'm not telling you what to do with this information, but I guess your best bet would be contacting this guy directly, instead of a witch-hunt. But again, this is entirely your decision.

I'm not an active user on this forum, but I will log in now and then to check my PM's.
Sorry I didn't come out with this information earlier, because of the stress and pressure I have been under the last couple of weeks.

Thank you for believing in me, it really means a lot!


Well, here is what you want...

Real name: Kiur Köster
Phone number: +372 5598 1119
Skype name: error.420
IRC name (for what its worth) on Freenet: Inception

I dont have his address, but he Lives in Jarvamë-area in Tallinn city, country Estonia.
He also often uses the nickname/username "thekiur". I dont have any e-mail address of him, most of our communication has been through skype or phone.

He also works as a developer in Estonia, I dont know his current position/company, but you will find a lot of info if you search his name.


Best regards,
Kenneth

Links we have found so far on Kiur Köster

https://www.facebook.com/kiur420?fref=ts
http://www.etelaranta.com/our-team/ <-- work, would need to check if he is currently employed there still. Maybe they know where he works now or about his
family. This link also contains Kiur's picture.

At this stage this is all the research we have done but I would suggest the community starts with contacting his previous employers at http://www.etelaranta.com/our-team/

We need to show the Crypto world that situations like this will not be tolerated, we need to only start supporting exchanges where the owners reveals true identity and boycott the rest. Lets make a example of this, the time is now lets work together to get this resolved!

And so it begins!!!! ABOUT FUCKING TIME!!!!!!!!!!

I am trying to make head or tails of this whole story. The point here is what happens if that user did not get Kenneths details before the registration was changed?

Would we have gotten this far, has Kiur Köster decided to let Kenneth take the rap for the intended scam and now Kenneth has to drag him into it, what we need to see is skype conversations from
Kenneth that was had. These are saved by default for a year period.

COINMARKET on the scam again.

The tweet mentions nothing about there being a problem at all and more foolish people is going to deposit into CM and come here to complain

CoinMarket.io ‏@CoinMarketio  Mar 21
Good news: we have a custom coindaemon patch ready. Updating daemons to the latest version and applying the patch now.

And since Kenneth claim to know the Estonia developer, why doesn't he contact him and sort this out? He rather make an account on BCT to tell us to leave him alone and send a "representative" to speak with him about releasing information all the while Coinmarket's twitter is actively implementing "updates" and seems like they are addressing problems but look at us here. If Kenneth contacted the "Estonia dev" and knew how morally wrong it is to steal money from people, and it's not 100s of dollars we talking about, this is upwards of the millions, it would make more sense, but he rather protect this so called Estonia dev's identity. Even if he released the information of this Estonia dev, I would care less because for all I know it could be fake: Kenneth was the person registered for the site, we have proof even in court of law, where's his?  Honestly Kenneth is just buying himself more time and once comes March 31, its bye bye coinmarket and everything along with it because he will now cancel his hosting service?Kenneth will continue to play his little lie for everyone and end up a millionaire after the 31st of March.

We don't care you were just registering for the site, you are affiliated with the site and your information was conveniently changed during when people began having problems with withdrawals....Someone do the math here, does this seem likely?

The game is up Kenneth, I am sure no one will take your trick and lies anymore. Even though most of the people you stole from may not take drastic actions for their BTC/Alts but I am sure there are those who have more than pocket change in CM while it was operational.

Hey All,

I heard about this scam exchange on poloniex troll box, I actually used coinmarket when it first opened up and honestly shocked they decided to go this route as they we making some good
money on fees imo. Obviously would of taken them a really long time to make the money they are now but it's a risk for this person.

There is a reason why bitcoin price is going down the tubes atm, most of the people I know that are into Cryptos have pulled out and the same with people they know.
A lot of them were effected by Gox but still made lots of money as they got in fairly early but now they are waiting for regulation on exchanges and bitstamp and cex.io is the only platforms they trust at this stage. Like my username suggests it really is the wild west out there atm.

I would just like to point some things out that will hopefully guide you on your investigations. The more the GOX case continues the more it's looking like a inside job, a big scam and this has the whole community shaken up. You can kinda stomach a hack but a scam is A LOT worse because this means the people you meant to be trusting with trade can't be. I can tell you this has had a major impact on the market overall besides your latest pump and dump coins but even those devs are getting burnt with the lack of true buyers.

There is a very good chance Kenneth is involved and by going to the police himself is trying to vindicate his involvement. The police in most countries would not be able to handle this situation Adequately. It will be interesting indeed if he has a real name and details of this so called dev from Estonia.

To finish off this has become a extremely high risk game, the honeymoon period is over where the greatest danger was a hdd failure and you didn't take the appropriate steps to backup and leave on cold storage. There is a lot of luck involved now, Even for Kenneth... it's a case of greater risk , greater reward... He can get away with it 100%, he might get caught in 5 years time but have enjoyed the money he scammed at least for a short while or get caught out really early and have some man love in prison. That's his risk.

How can you increase his risk of getting caught besides going to the police?

You need to get this scam story out into the public, on major publications like coinbase, business insider, hurt the price of bitcoin and you will have highly intelligent individuals looking into this , like the hackers in GOX. Keeping this story closed up on bitcointalk will only be to the advantage of the scammer/s

Anyways good luck, I have been scammed before not on Cryptos but in Real life and after 18 months we managed to catch the culprits. It's a terrible feeling getting scammed and in the beginning you left with hope that you will get your money returned just like I see with many people on this forum. It was a hard lesson to learn but it did make me wise to the world.

You need to get started on catching these people now.

Well said. The story does not add up here:
Kenneth wants everyone to leave him and his family alone, while he knows the seriousness of the situation and the money involved, yet he would not get in touch with the Estonia dev to sort this out and rather have us select a representative to get contact info from him? People were threatening his family and the reason is because of the amount of money involved here, yet he just wants to stay neutral while CM is actively scamming more people.

10 days until Kenneth pulls off the biggest heist following Mt.Gox. March 31st = byebye coinmarket (as he is ending the hosting service)

This is why Coinmarket/Kenneth is buying more time. If you guys want your BTC/alts back, its time to take action, msg the admins of BCT and let them know whats going on and get the IP of coinmarket as well as the kboejorke account.


I believe strength in numbers.

What a scam exchange  whoever is responsible should get locked up for this shit

Please review Viperbass post above

Well, here is what you want...

Real name: Kiur Köster
Phone number: +372 5598 1119
Skype name: error.420
IRC name (for what its worth) on Freenet: Inception

I dont have his address, but he Lives in Jarvamë-area in Tallinn city, country Estonia.
He also often uses the nickname/username "thekiur". I dont have any e-mail address of him, most of our communication has been through skype or phone.

His picture is here , most like hes much older now.

http://www.etelaranta.com/our-team/

Are you Kenneth B?  Thanks for your limited and and vastly dilatory information.  If so, you'd better come clean with ANY posts, emails, info, a timeline of your participation, a history of your interest in coinmarket.io, because you STILL DON'T HAVE A PLAUSIBLE AND EXCULPATORY STORY, MY FRIEND.  Until then, you're still a suspect in this.  If this were ever taken to a court of law, unless you were proven to be under legitimate, direct threat, your holding back of this information would be sufficient to indict you as an accomplice in this crime.  Personally, cynic that I am, I fully still believe you are involved and, at the VERY least, received remuneration for your delaying tactics which continue to allow this scam to go on.  If you're completely innocent, I apologize.  Then you're just a simple coward.  Fair enough.

So he claims to only communicate through Skype and phone? How convenient they have ZERO proof of communication on email. Honestly, I have little hope for my 0.31BTC + 125k DGB but those of you who really care shouldn't just let this Kenneth provide us some sort of info and everyone goes chasing after this other person. Kenneth was the person registered for the site, if anything he should be liable to this scam, we do not know what is going on in the backend but Kenneth was the owner of the site, which makes him liable.

It is time to alert the news agencies where Kenneth lives and let the media know how much money has been stolen and its directly related to this Kenneth person. Also, should release all the information we gathered to the media and let them flock over this. We need to get in contact with media agencies and let them know, after MTGox, Coinmarket has stolen xxx Millions worth of BTC and provide them with the information we have so far.

[TamiLee]

C3ALL and Viperbass thanks for getting this additional information. I have started looking into iCoin currency and see Viperbass is part of the iCoin team and I will be investing mining and time in your coin since I am
100% sure it's not a scam with the way you have conducted yourself here.

With that being said I am not entirely convinced about Kenneth and I believe he might be ratting on the Estonian dev because hes taking all the heat for the scam, I do think these 2 people are involved.

Hi! Please, that big, red font is so difficult to read on mobile and is a pain btw
Would the posters and quoters mind writing normally instead of yelling?
The sentences won't lose any meaning that way, but exactly the opposite –allowing new readers to understand the posters' points instead of having to skip down those posts because of the "yelling".

Same as in real life. If you yell, nobody pays much attention to you.

Appreciated, gentlemen!
Best,

RC.

PS.: I do have an account on coinmarket.io and have my own concerns as well.

OK, thanks for the heads-up!  I sent an email to them:

Dear sirs,

Please take coinmarket.io off of your exchange list. They've been an ongoing recognized scam exchange for a few weeks now.  They've siphoned off untold numbers of BTC and other coins and the fraud is ongoing.  If you need painful proof, please see the following thread:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=454186.3780

If you have any way of alerting other reference sites or anybody else who may be of help, please let them know about this important issue.

Thank you,
