Bitcointalk trolls, internal dysfunction and all out flame wars. Guide to the scandals.
Alternative title: Strays, catfights and hissing competitions.

I’ve considered writing this earlier. It is with some reluctance that I write this. I do not want to re-open old wounds or getting inadvertently involved. It is written from a neutral perspective so that an outsider understands it. I decided to go ahead after Pugman published a list and then  encouraged me to write an article about it.

Corrections, additions and comments welcome.

aTriz
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2751956.0
aTriz being naive and providing his signature to a scam

The exchange between aTriz and ibminer explains it.


It was a marketing strategy and they tried to say they raised so much in just a day or 2.

I doubt they raised anymore then 1 BTC.
You are ok with ICOs stating false information about how much they have raised to other potential investors... and you would call this a marketing strategy?


No, but when I'm 2 weeks into a bounty program I'm basically forced to go along with it.

This is nothing but deceitful nonsense. What you call a "marketing strategy", I would call fraud.

Scammer: a confidence game or other fraudulent scheme, especially for making a quick profit; swindle.
Swindle: to obtain money or property by fraud or deceit
Fraud: a person or thing intended to deceive others, typically by unjustifiably claiming or being credited with accomplishments or qualities.

No, but when I'm 2 weeks into a bounty program I'm basically forced to go along with it.

No, you are not forced to do anything you do not want to do here, especially when someone is being fraudulent.

Zeroxal and the blackmail sting operation
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1764757.msg17624090#msg17624090
the Zeroxal case divided some of the community.
Shorena and OgNasty gave negative trust to the DTs involved.

theymos stance on extortion/blackmail by staff
Lauda/TMAN/minifrij/IronMarvel2/owlcatz extortion attempt

Lauda tried to get a confession using a sting operation from user Zeroxal who “was not able or willing to explain double evasion of forum ban, advertising of counterfeit goods, selling botnet/cloud mining packages.” according to

This resulted in Lauda leaving as a staff member of this forum.

   Zeroxal is still and active member of the forum.






After this relations between Lauda, TMAN and Owlcatz soured against OgNasty and QuickSeller

Ognasty V Lauda

Ognasty replied

This thread is a joke.  The "evidence" is not evidence of any wrongdoing of any kind.  There isn't even a victim mentioned in this "ponzi" allegation.  It's quite obvious to anyone who has paid attention over the years that this is nothing more than a delusional attempt by Lauda/TMAN/TwitchySeal to enact some sort of revenge against me for their reputations being ruined as a result of their own shady actions.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1171059.msg12330041#msg12330041
Quickseller was caught escrowing for himself and admitted it.
Resulting in a whole lot of negative trust.

Tradefortress offers to pay QuickSeller (QS) to sue Vod
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1179238.msg12406935#msg12406935]
TradeFortress was the founder of hacked wallet provider inputs.io and coinlenders. (4000btc)
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=328053.0

Vod is attempting to create an unlimited and unconsented liability by offering refunds for those who have rendered services from me.

To be clear, your liability only extends to those you escrow scammed.   I've asked for a link for each request, so the community will easily be able to see if you scammed them, or if you properly used a third party escrow.

You could make this easier on everyone by providing a list of those you have scammed, so they can ask for the refund you have promised.

You know the first won't happen. Self moderated threads are self moderated and the OP may do so as they please; they've been there since the inception of the forum with "Local Rules".

I agree that Vod should certainly be removed from DefaultTrust. His remarks disparaging you as a scammer could fall under Canadian defamatory law; given the business activities you conduct on bitcointalk and the damages Vod's remarks could have on you, you might be interested in pursing civil action. And you'll get justice on Vod.

@Quickseller, I'll contribute 20 BTC towards a civil lawsuit against Vod. One of his email addresses is mlawrence02@yahoo.com , as given here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=95795.msg1070760#msg1070760

You may be able to subpoena Yahoo Canada for his IP address (via a John Doe-style civil suit), and then subpoena the ISP for account holder details.

Quicksellers list of users that condone violence
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1614573.0;topicseen
Likely as a reaction to the ongoing feud it shows the dynamics between some of the long-term members on here.

people calling Vod a pedophile vod
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1248407.msg12962871#msg12962871

This is essentially due to a false and malicious report made about Vod on the ripoffreport. The website is owned by Ed Magedson who makes it particularly difficult for process servers to find him. While he claims not to remove anything from his website. He will remove it for a ongoing fee. The ripoff report is currently in serious trouble in several jurisdictions.

In March 2017, the Italian Data Protection Authority affirmed that Ripoff Report's activities — namely, Ed Magedson's requests for money to edit web pages — are illegal in Italy. The Italian authorities also noticed that Ripoff Report's web servers are occasionally not reachable from Italy in order to evade controls by the authorities themselves. Besides, they noticed that some web pages — which were being investigated by the authorities — were deleted out of the blue by the website owner, despite the claim that Ripoff Report does not remove reports.

A federal court stated that victims have "probable cause to sue for extortion and racketeering". http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ripoff_Report

According to ripoffreport, you sent them information and content that should not be relied upon... and the accuracy of the information you sent them relies on anonymous authors and commenters.  Huh

Lauda & Tman v The Russians

With the introduction of DT voting there was concern that the Russian forum (second largest language forum after English) were strategically voting to get their representatives into DT1
This led to a number of prominent Russian accounts being distrusted by a number of prominent DT accounts.
Theymos put Tman on his distrust list and soon afterwards sent the email below to the DTs about Lauda.
Eventually some of the dispute with the Russians was resolved and a number of trustworthy Russians are now members of DT1 and DT2.
Some others are still excluded.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5099822.0
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5099978.0

Theymos V Lauda
A number of events culminated to a disagreement between Theymos and Lauda.
Lauda advocating for more pro-active tagging of scammers to prevent scams. At the risk of accounts being unfairly tagged.
Theymos having a more of a wait and see approach, forgiveness and reconciliation approach at the risk of people getting scammed.

Theymos and Lauda both wrote to most of the DTs to express their views.


digaran - The DT investigator:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3779450.0
digaran Started a thread called ” Re: Hire me to defend your case for 0.01BTC! “
Which is now changed to:  Voluntary service to defend your case!

Digaran attempted to assist people in getting their negative default trust removed – initially for a fee with no guarantees. This resulted in a longstanding feud between digaran and certain Default Trust members that resulted in lots of red negative feedback for digaran and in constant posts by digaran complaining about Trust abuse.

This resulted in a lot of negative trust:



This resulted in lots of posts and accusations:

Vod trolling me with red tag!
Marlboroza changed email address after getting on DT2!
OgNasty is misusing the trust system for personal gains!
Do not trust suchmoon, a blatant trust abuser.
Marlboroza is abusing DT power!

Please don't ban digaran. He'd be back with 500 accounts trying to prove how unfair the ban is.

There was another member, with the handle of Oxoo10 or something similar who was trolling hard.

Just when people think it ends here:

I have got more, bitches:

BFL staff(Pokokohua!) spamming random crap in theymos and dogie's trust walls, there is another user involved: MelMan2002

theymos received 83 negative ratings:



And dogie received 85 negative ratings:

Quickseller's list of users who condone violence: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1614573.0;topicseen


There are cases that I don't want to post or even talk about, and just let them be as is, because its really not worth looking. Evil has taken over this forum in such bad form, that I don't even want to continue reading on it. I spent 2 hours reading trust walls on people and its not good. DT members have done so much to at least keep the forum from sinking into the ocean of scams. People have been scammed from 1 cent to 4 million dollars(at least). So, for those who think that this place is just a fucking forum to earn money, get the fuck out of here. Its really sad to see the things that people do for money. 

I gathered around a lot of links, don't know if I should post them or not. Explaining them would take hours.
@xtraelv, for the cases mentioned in the OP, there are way more links, for example: A lot of people have called Vod a pedophile(including QS), and I believe there are threads about Gleb suing Cyber pinoy(?)  etc

Overall, for those who don't know much or anything about this: Don't do anything for money. Don't scam people. Just don't. Make your momma proud, at least.  Wink

OP, you should mention notbatman and nomad13666. People should know that dumbfucks Flat Earthers exist in bitcointalk.

And also BADecker, for he believes that rocks are better than gay people. You can't prove him wrong, can you now?

Mentally ill troll: isoneguy

Reference: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2163283.msg21663616#msg21663616

Another user: Mixan

Threatening to Dox others and very short-tempered. Reference: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1743036.0;all and https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1743036.msg18103081#msg18103081

You should also mention that Spoetnik is obsessed with child porn.

Just be happy that these two trolls rarely crawl out from under the OT and P&S bridges!!!  My brain hurts at times from these two users.

notbatman gave me some neg trust, because I agreed with Vod once, fortunately the feedback is as irrelevant as notbatman himself!

Hey I'm not a troll, I will remember your name for the future when I post a thread about merit whores I will include your name to return the favor, just wait. Wink


Look, the above is trolling. I'd appreciate what you have done, posting this here might help theymos to wake up and see that some DT members are really abusing the trust system.
Trolling would be like going after a trusted member for doing completely nothing wrong, complaining about the actions of allegedly trusted individuals is not trolling.

And as the world turns, so do the days of our lives.

This one made me smile.  Grin When I was doing the OgNasty V _____ part I kept thinking of the old streetfighter arcade game "Round one....FIGHT !".

You might notice that the word troll has not been mentioned by me when your name was mentioned. It also was strategically placed near to the bottom so it wasn't inadvertently associated with any financial dishonesty.  I'd rate it more as dysfunction / flame war / feuding. I could run it as a poll....?

As for whoring for merit. Honestly it wasn't me. Sex for merit? Wink (Nothing to see here)

But if you do write about it I would gladly link to it on this page as long as you provide a balanced story completely in my favor and don't post any photos of me in my mankini from the Bondage, Discipline, Sadism and Merit website.

We are surrounded by legends on this forum. Phenomenal successes and catastrophic failures. Then there are the scams. This forum is a digital museum.

How about the Ann bumping thread scandal?

ICO SPAMMERS EXPOSED --> NEW SELF-MODERATED THREAD. A lot of accounts get caught in this expose including Legendary/Hero/Senior members. It was like a big fuss that time because of members giving up their alt account, just to get paid. lol.



And the latest, WaffleMaster vs Jeremypwr drama war: jeremypwr Bitcasino.io and Sportsbet.io Extortion, campaign mismanagement & scam

aTriz
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2751956.0
aTriz being naive and providing his signature to a scam

The exchange between aTriz and ibminer explains it.


It was a marketing strategy and they tried to say they raised so much in just a day or 2.

I doubt they raised anymore then 1 BTC.
You are ok with ICOs stating false information about how much they have raised to other potential investors... and you would call this a marketing strategy?


No, but when I'm 2 weeks into a bounty program I'm basically forced to go along with it.

This is nothing but deceitful nonsense. What you call a "marketing strategy", I would call fraud.

Scammer: a confidence game or other fraudulent scheme, especially for making a quick profit; swindle.
Swindle: to obtain money or property by fraud or deceit
Fraud: a person or thing intended to deceive others, typically by unjustifiably claiming or being credited with accomplishments or qualities.

No, but when I'm 2 weeks into a bounty program I'm basically forced to go along with it.

No, you are not forced to do anything you do not want to do here, especially when someone is being fraudulent.


This was about him promoting a scam ICO and lying about them knowingly; the signature and alia thing were different.


P.S. I had seen the flat-earth thread; always thought it was a mega-troll thread and had never ventured in it...

A brave attempt at analyzing a huge subject.

No reference to trolls on BCT would be complete without a mention of NotLambChop in his various guises.

Thumbs up for this thread, have to bookmark this Grin

Speaking of Bitcointalk trolls, most members will admit that they missed the Legendary kwukduck. Its a continues love hate relationship between Bitcointalk and kwukduck, that sometimes when you read his post, it will give you a good chuckle.  Grin

Sadly he's not active anymore, it's really a joy to read his funny thoughts on how bitcoin will end badly, influence others to panic sell and invest on altcoins.

I'm sure that the guy is around, maybe in some other form or guise. Yeah, probably 2017 was the best year we have seen him carrying out his attacks or shall we shall his love of Bitcoin. Lmao. Grin. But all we know that once he open his mouth, bitcoin suddenly moves on the opposite direction.

As for the Atriz drama, Confession - Zapo=aTriz.

I started wondering what could be the new aliases for all those legendary members that have been banned in the past.
I'm sure "Goat" or later "El Cabron" could not resist to make a comeback with new account (and is that also banned and an other comeback etc)

Well if they will make a comeback then war is still on. The details shows that this is a great war between legends. Ill just wait what will happen next to this. If the other side has accepted their defeat then will be alright then, but for sure there will be another users that will evolve from being good to become a black sheep of the forum for some reasons.

That is a interesting thought. They would have to abandon some of the previous mannerisms and style. It would be easy to identify them otherwise.

I know some of the members that were tainted by controversy made comebacks with alt accounts. Their style and mannerisms usually give their identity away though.

people calling Vod a pedophile vod
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1248407.msg12962871#msg12962871

This is essentially due to a false and malicious report made about Vod on the ripoffreport. The website is owned by Ed Magedson who makes it particularly difficult for process servers to find him. While he claims not to remove anything from his website. He will remove it for a ongoing fee. The ripoff report is currently in serious trouble in several jurisdictions.

In March 2017, the Italian Data Protection Authority affirmed that Ripoff Report's activities — namely, Ed Magedson's requests for money to edit web pages — are illegal in Italy. The Italian authorities also noticed that Ripoff Report's web servers are occasionally not reachable from Italy in order to evade controls by the authorities themselves. Besides, they noticed that some web pages — which were being investigated by the authorities — were deleted out of the blue by the website owner, despite the claim that Ripoff Report does not remove reports.

A federal court stated that victims have "probable cause to sue for extortion and racketeering". http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ripoff_Report

http://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/news/the-real-rip-off-report-6445677

http://drjaniceduffy.com/2017/05/ed-magedson-ripoff-report-darren-meade-obstruction-of-justice/

Hmm, it appears ripoffreport has been de-indexed, at least in Canada.  Smiley

Can anyone else verify if they still see that garbage report when they search "martin lawrence edmonton"?

Master-p scamming people – When Escrow goes bad.

Lol, I just saw this post. Look mom I'm on TV!

Terrible terrible memories though, that drama dragged on for weeks, while I did receive my funds back and tried to help others get them back, when I think back on it I may have done a few other things differently for the sake of other users.  

If anything I hope people never forget that scandal, and learn a moral : Regardless of how trusted someone might look, everyone has a price.

Actually, you have it around the wrong way - I called out Tomatocage's self escrowing (which most people here seem to have turned a blind eye to).  Here is a full archive [1], [2] of the thread concerned.  As you can see by the image xtraelv posts, I make not such claim so I call him out on that falsehood...

TomatoCage made the above claim that s/he'd given a fictitious alt red trust, however when I called him out on it (conveniently xtraelv has managed to forget to include that post, so here it is:



) the same hour I posted that tomatocage did a runner and then hasn't been online since except for a couple of brief logins before today's suspicious post.



As to your list, you'll have to add your own name for lashing out at me in the various Cryptopia related threads and then turning around and giving me negative trust setting distrust.
