In my opinion his intentions were good, but he pissed off by the attacks. As I said, with the difficulty increases, it's not 100% sure that an Antminer will pay off. His plan was to get 100% of the money back plus a small share. As I calculated before, he could have made up to 20 btc with a 15 btc investment (since psu and networking stuff will be reused)
I still hope that he'll come back... I'll wait one week before declaring him as a scammer

I'm giving him some time to cool off too as he mentioned in his last post... but thanks for all the info on him. Hopefully he regains his composure and makes things right, because I'm sure he wouldn't fare too well if we start poking around employers, friends etc...

He isn't coming back...
He took the time to log in and delete every single one of his posts I honestly hope he saw my post about who he was as I think he used his real name on Skype for some sort of legitimacy
He isn't on Facebook or any of the other social media sites I checked out
And if it was his plan all along to leave because people were questioning his legitimacy then it's either extremely convenient or that you have a new(ish) member who seems to be so concerned about scammers and yet these forums are rampant with scam accusations and he chose to focus on this one specifically
I ask if a Moderator is reading this if possible to check the IP's that have been logged for btcminor01 and lowerjerzey to see if they correspond Hell even if they are in the same subnet that's going to be mighty suspicious

All his miners are offline now as well Probably moved to a different account
I will keep an eye on his original address that still has 9 Bitcoins or so in it

We are creating a world where no one can trust in nobody.
This is very dangerous.

I truly hope this guy turns the Ants back on and says this was his "warning." It is getting harder and harder to find trustworthy people in this community. I was scammed out of $2300 about a month ago so I definitely understand your frustration.
I can tell you that monitoring the wallet address is useless since it very easy conceal BTC movement. Part of the advantages of BTC can also be used maliciously unfortunately.

So the moderators know about this now?
I've sent them PM's to get the IP addresses registered against them so I can contact the ISP He used his real name on Skype...
Is this not possible at all?

Best bet is to contact some of the leading a big power companies and give them an FYI, that if this person is working for them, he's ripped people off as well he's sucking power from them for free.

I've already checked into that..
There is very little information on who actually provides the power in Belgium.
Half of which I can't read and doesn't translate properly... Not as easy as it would be here in Australia to track it down

No moderator has that ability, only theymos can do that and he would likely not.

why didnt you noobs see this scam from beginning ?
Next time look at the business model and if its unfeasible then its a scam. Business is to make money not charity. Greed blinded you and now you paid for the lesson.
Just move on.

I don't see why you shouldn't be able to get that It's a public address he doesn't own it.. it's assigned by his ISP.. There are no privacy laws broken by providing that information
Also great attitude to have and it's good to see Senior members being such pillars of the community
If there is nothing left to do then delete this thread and the bad guy wins... in despite of our obvious stupidity for trusting him

You talking to me? I don't have any such access I said. Only the forum administrators do and you have to appeal to them. Don't take out your frustration on me.

too good to be true + internet forum + upfront payment + failure to disclose important info like the 'free electricity' (which would otherwise cost $350+ per month) sigh

because the business model was not unfeasible, as I calculated here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=522761.msg5911900#msg5911900shareholders already knew how he could get free energy (but seeing how I was treated after defending him, and losing my face like an idiot, I really hope that they will bust him and fire him. I also hope that his stolen antminers have a short circuit and ignite his f**king flat)
