It seems Spectrocoin / Bankera owner VYTAUTAS KARALEVIČIUS is a one-man-band with no team and he has a long history of scamming users: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1586595.0

The following are some of the sock-puppet accounts used by the Spectrocoin / Bankera scammers to regularly post in their threads or to follow around (troll) and harass any users that expose their scam or support accusations against them. My policy is to put sock-puppets on IGNORE so I do not have to read their lies, propaganda, fake buzz or trash but users have their own way of dealing with them.

Many sock-puppets operated by the Spectrocoin / Bankera scammers have "recently woke up after a long period of inactivity" and have shown "recently changed email address" - the reasons are because they recently purchased accounts. Many of these sock-puppet accounts are involved in having fake conversations with each other to increase the post account and to spread propaganda as well as attempting to generate fake buzz:

On a recent occasion the whole of the previous "coinsbit" thread was removed and all posts deleted. That thread was used by numerous sock-puppets to fool users in to thinking coinsbit exchange are trading over $300 million volume daily. Keeping that in mind why have the Spectrocoin and Bankera threads not been removed with all posts deleted?

After that coinsbit returned and started another thread which has been occupied almost solely by sock-puppets with the single objective of spreading propaganda and creating fake buzz so users end up believing their claims and sign up to their exchange. That thread is currently open but the moderators did take action on the previous thread.

The question is what can be done to help get rid of the sock-puppet scammers that have infested the forum whether from the p2pb2b, coinsit, spectrocoin, bankera or anything else?

I fully support this request. That scammers are shameless. They are bumping the scam thread daily 24/7, that is not interesting for anybody, anymore. The main purpose of doing so, is the daily spread of fake propaganda for creating a fake buzz. Same BS every day over and over. That kind of accounts are harming other really interesting threads, because the scam thread is always in the top of discussions, thanks to 24/7 fake bumps with a trash posts.

Their "buzz" is quite meaningless though. If you two stopped posting in that thread - it would fall off the front page and no one would care. You can report their shitposts to moderators for good measure, perhaps that eventually will lead to a ban, but right now I doubt there is enough evidence of them being alts.

Yes, I will probably skip posting in their threads and report all sock-puppets operated by scammer VYTAUTAS KARALEVIČIUS to moderators.

Here is a request to have these flags removed because they have been created purely as a defence mechanism to attack the users that exposed their scam.

Could moderators please ban the sock-puppet accounts because they have created flags against users that are vexatious and vindictive in nature.

As per the following post from theymos, I request action be taken: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5153344.msg51435911

"Creating or supporting a scammer flag is actively affirming a set of pretty clear fact-statements.
If someone knowingly supports a flag containing incorrect fact-statements, then that is crystal-clear abuse, and I will seek to have such people removed from DT ASAP.
People who are habitually wrong, even not knowingly, should also be removed."

The following flags have been created by sock-puppets owned and operated by Spectrocoin / Bankera owner VYTAUTAS KARALEVIČIUS. Many of his sock-puppet accounts have supported the flags too to give them a false sense of backing.

The common factor between these flags is that they were created in response to attack well respected members of this community because they exposed Bankera and Spectrocoin as scammers. Both are operated by scammers VYTAUTAS KARALEVIČIUS

Until such time the moderators hopefully remove the flags and hopefully ban the sock-puppet accounts I request that users from the community kindly add their opposition to all of the flags. Thank you.

I hope moderators take action against the sock-puppets

Spectrocoin has scam accusations. As far as I could check, many of the denounced issues weren't resolved. Some involve large amounts.

Members like mosprognoz, JollyGood, gorbal, nutildah, etc., who have recently denounced Spectrocoin and Bankera were submerged with a wave of negative feedback on a short time, several created on the same exact day.

I even decided to censor my original post in order to minimize a possible massive retaliation for it.

I'm already on a fight against a scam of 35000 euro. I prefer to avoid picking another major one until mine is solved, but there are things that raise questions.

The scammer operating Bankera thread and Spectrocoin thread has locked both threads and post periodically to post "updates"

The scammer has used several of his sock-puppets to create flags against some of those that exposed or opposed their scams including against me.

The OP has been updated

After a 5 month hiatus the Bankera/Spectrocoin scammers are back  

Everybody is advised to be VERY careful.

All are advised not get fooled by the Bankera/Spectrocoin scammers otherwise they will lose their funds!
