What is davouts official response to this?

What is davouts official response to this?

something like : "we don't have in our database any transaction that link any of your adresses to any of yours, please provide us a transaction ID or proof of ownership"

it is my interpretation of everything i have read here and in the french part

and of course it is a simple way to say it, much more technical words have been used 

[guigui371]

i want to point out that at the begining of the thread a lot of commente were against frenchies and now the 2-3 guys who are helping Bruno are FRENCH !!

what an irony

French always agree to disagree... That's why you always have the two extremes with constant fight between each others :p

I made some comments agains french at the beginning, but it was ironic, i am french too.I just can't understand people who do such stupid generalities about people.

i'm french too honey
 it was directed to some people who refere their country to a whole continent

PG,

Not that I doubt you brother, but I do question what the original address was that you sent BTC from to their site?

Or did you buy the account from someone?

[smoothie]

Boussac was approached in Amsterdam prior to going on stage at the recent Bitcoin conference held there, and refused to discuss any of the InstaWallet claims.

Who approached him?

[smoothie]

I've watched the whole Instawallet fiasco like a hawk because I had some BTC in Instawallet.

I never used Instalwallet, but I did keep an eye on how davout and boussac behaved during and after the incident because they are involved in other Bitcoin projects.

The way they handled the situation looks to me consistent with what I'd expect from scammers.

Honest people would show some signs of remorse and humility after losing so much of other people's money - they were arrogant and hostile instead.

After reading up on the posts from boussac and davout concerning this fiasco, I agree with this post. They had really no remorse and made very little attempt to make things right with PG as far as public record confirms.

[bangi]

Wait so the bounty is still on?  

[Marlo Stanfield]

PG,

Not that I doubt you brother, but I do question what the original address was that you sent BTC from to their site?

Or did you buy the account from someone?

It sounds like it was either sent directly to an instawallet address when he bought it from the guy with the red truck, or something about a blockchain.info address. I hope he can clarify all of this so people can help.

[smoothie]

Looks like davout is posting in the french section:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=649320.msg7268591#msg7268591

Here above is his first post I believe in that thread of many. Perhaps someone can translate and persuade him to come to this thread to discuss?

Seems like he is hiding out over there instead lol

[smoothie]

Well if I was davout, I'd have a "buddy" negotiate this settlement pronto - settle for $50k, take the 400BTC reward.  Easy money!

SOB! I didn't think of that, that he may use this thread now to his advantage, and still come out like a motherfuckin' bandit. Fuck me royal! The only thing I can say about this revelation is that he best have an anonymous pseudo-liaison (or is it pseudo-anonymous liaison?) person in place, otherwise I will get really pissed.

Perhaps you should require the person to prove their identity to get the bounty? Just a suggestion.

[smoothie]

Like I said if I was Davout, I would pay out the 50K and make a public notice that PG (just like other members) was refunded some of the lost money from the InstaWallet hack.

Like I said, Davout has accepted the deal I proposed here, so let see if OP will honor is bounty

I'm available here or by PM to write agreement in the stone

I have a lawyer available to settle the agreement, that I will pay on my part of the Bounty.

Proof? Link?

Deal ?

Vendu!

Quand je dis vendu, ça veut dire que je suis simplement d'accord pour échanger $50k contre 300 BTC, rien de plus.
Ton message laisse entendre que ça constitue un settlement avec PG, ce qui n'est pas le cas.
Je t'invite à clarifier sur l'autre thread :-)

but the deal was : davout sends 50k$ and sardokan gets 400btc and gives back 100btc to davout

it was based on a misreading of the bountie that PG is giving

So basically a joke

[ahmedjadoon]

So this must be largest bounty ever offered in history of BTCBTCBTC.I think it should be featured in major magazines. Good luck to OP

The bounty is not doing to do much if there's no way to obtain more information about transactions.

Again, I'm not saying that Phinnaeus is lying here - just that without more information it's not possible to prove anything, neither on his or InstaWallet side.

One thing that would easily tell everyone a lot would be the audit which was supposed to have happened.  Or information from the analysis of the supposed hack.  Or from the police investigation which was supposed to be underway.  Or especially all of the above.

For some reason none of these things seemed to be very forthcoming and any questions about them were studiously ignored by the Paymium folks for a long time.  When little bits of information did appear they were extremely vague.  True, it is 'none of my business' since I was payed off for my minor loss at the place.  An audit of the records from Instawallet, on the other hand, may very well be the business of those who have not been paid what they claim to be owed, and would very likely confirm or deny the parts of PG's story that he can remember.  It is a very reasonable hypothesis that this is exactly why the audit, if it ever happened at all, remains shrouded from view.

But now, we try to get facts, and find proof

You have facts.
But you aint gonna find any proof.



Its as simple as that

Ask the NSA, they must have copies on file

It almost certainly is gone at this point. And now Davout et al can just go on ignoring.

Or maybe this mythical auditor will appear someday and everyone will live happily ever after.

I don't seem to understand... I've read quite a few accusations against staff on this forum. How can staff here have been involved in illicit activities?

How is it possible they can't? Theymos can't possibly keep tabs on everyone's actions in his staff.
