[WARNING] MIR Bounty Campaign - Fake Team + Fake Project

[holydarkness]

I think that's not the only situation here. I was a bit curious about this case because I was looking at this BM once for a possible correlation with another questionable BM [Ahmim, Crypto Dotar, and other name he use], but dismissed it as I didn't find any connection. Nonetheless, the name stays in my head.

Upon the emergence of this case, I take another look at his previous projects and got curious because the previous one, CCFI, the very one that made me curious of his relation with other BM [still not proved, so maybe I did reached too far for that matter] got deleted.

Following my curiosity, I peeked at his telegram channel and another suspicious thing raises as the channel seems also edited, all entries about the topic got deleted, the channel pretty much didn't have any discussion after the confirmation that the payment is sent.



So, I hunted the escrow address, which as below, with this TXID for the escrow payment.



From this, we get his escrow address [0xdf...f9A5] and, with it, the bounty payment, which confirm my suspicion because out of more than one hundred entries [the bounty was 94 page long, and I am assuming some of them are his alt to bump the thread with fake, empty enrollment], only ten addresses was paid. The rest? It seems they're sitting in his wallet.



Oops?

OP, do you mind to create a new flag, [...]

I wanted to do this, but I keep getting this message "You already created a flag of this type for this user in the last 180 days."

Ahh... I see. That's quite unfortunate.

I created a new  Type 1 flag, but this time with a proper reference link (that leads to your topic) https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;flag=3255

I believe thread can be locked now.

Why lock? You never know what others might dig up and we are still waiting for accused to reply.

Nice find! How come none of the bounty hunters complained about him yet?

OP, please be aware the next time you create a flag, that the reference topic is made by a trusted user or yourself and use that to prepare the flag. Do not use the scammers topic as reference because they can edit and remove it in the click of a button.

Either way the scammer has been thwarted for now. But they will be back so be aware of the same.

I believe thread can be locked now.

Thanks for the tip, I didn't think of that.

I updated OP post and added new flag (also supported), thanks

It is obvious that the scammers made a big mess of themselves and have been caught in the act.  No reasonable person would get involved with a project without conducting their due diligence. I checked the campaign managers profile and I found it to be an account not too reputable here and I wonder if the account holder is part of the syndicate scammers or that the account holder failed to conduct due diligence before accepting to manage the bounty campaign here and this is what it has resulted to his or her ignorance just for their greed.

I am happy OP unravelled the secret behind this scam team and project and was able to make it clear with verifiable facts which can not be doubted or hidden. I can see it for myself and have taken note of this project and team.
