Hashkings Lending,Deposit 1.25% INSURED, ALL PPT ACCOUNTS CLOSING ON 8/19

[MrTeal]

Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that the address I was looking at is tainted by Hashking's lending business. Likely he has different wallet for mining and sales with no cross contamination from his old lending business.

I won't post too much detail to protect those who volunteered the information, but I will post the addresses I believe he controls.

Transaction 207f147287c090e800b6f64f1319fe245a7faa84e2aa4732309370e4e3f2a3ed contains multiple inputs that are confirmed to be sales of hardware that mining4fun11/Hashking made, to address 18ZLGDZG5HVXiJBoHjvmNoN1WCaDGs1V5C.

Other inputs in that transaction appear to be mining income, like 1Cm6d74dsCSvYN7MRf5TLX4HXQinf4igEw which I'm guessing is a P2Pool address; 19gRQqecitdqqzTQC5VfYVHqJsSjPGjdUD which received Deepbit income from back in November.

18ZLGDZG5HVXiJBoHjvmNoN1WCaDGs1V5C has since split it's coins, but at one point controlled 5117.5BTC. While it's possible that the 600BTC transaction hashking initiated was a payment to an address he doesn't control and that 18ZLGDZG5HVXiJBoHjvmNoN1WCaDGs1V5C isn't his, I don't believe that's the case. On November 17th, the Deepbit receive address 19gRQqecitdqqzTQC5VfYVHqJsSjPGjdUD sent 10BTC to 18ZLGDZG5HVXiJBoHjvmNoN1WCaDGs1V5C as part or transaction c27e95ab49dbb1574c6a9fc30c7352da3dfcf6b50f0579df6c7ba322743e31b7.

I'm not sure what can be done with this, but I'm pretty sure Hashking is sitting on a sizable sum of BTC that he isn't returning to creditors. If that's the case, while it might not be enough to pay everyone back it is six figures in USD and it might be worth pursuing.

My attempt to get assistance from the attorney general of Illinois was rejected, here are the documents for posterity: http://imgur.com/a/qey0E

Additional details uncovered during the investigation are available here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JOR8xssD8Ec9j_N3R4_MJapQoGALy5RBDTJdQZIrFlE/edit?usp=sharing

It seems so far legal attempts at reconciliation have failed. I'm open to suggestions.

Time to register SAM THEOFANOPOULOS .com now. Is confronting him physically and having a chat a viable alternative?

Fly out to Illinois to chat with him? I don't look big or scary enough to be effective... haha... any volunteers?

There's always services like this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=140625.0 
Pity he wouldn't take Trendon Shavers' case, though.

I used him to get most of the extra information about Sam. I haven't spoken to him about actually pursuing collection against him. Doesn't hurt to ask I suppose

I thought USA had gangs and what not.. You can't just pay some local kids a few $$ ?

Yep, no hurt in trying. I'm still disappointed that he wouldn't try Trendon, though...
If all fails, hiring a Illinois guy to talk to him would be the next way now.

You've been misinformed. All they do is sing and snap their fingers: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exGJsv6ZNlo

It's not good to owe a debt.

If you have a creditor, that creditor has some license to cause damage.

For example, if he smashes your car windows, you can sue him for damages, but he would countersue for his own damages (the debt you owe him) and eventually any damage he does to you would just be offset in court against whatever you already owed him.

Hi I live in east saint louis and have at least 7 frans who look scary. If the trip isn't too far and we get a few tips we could surely attempt to liberate the coin

If you can speak with him and convince him to liberate the coin he owes everyone, you can have half of what he pays me back.

I'm sure other's would be more than happy to make similar offers, but I can't speak on their behalf.

This is a list that can be used to determine how much everyone is owed based on Sam's earlier attempt to feign payback: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=66802.msg1243257#msg1243257

YES! Oh man this is so awesome to hear. You little thugish crybabies wanted to run to daddy state so he could whip out his belt and put pirate over his knee and whip his ass but now you're left with NON VIOLENT OPTIONS and mostly a valuable life lesson.

This couldn't have ended better!

[MPOE-PR]

NON VIOLET OPTIONS

FTW.

[wachtwoord]

@Hazek I reported that post

@Slushpuppy (and alexmat): I pledged 100 BTC on the previous page. If you need more info (for instance the exact amount he owes me) or want to negotiate or something, you can pm me.

Just on a general note:

Anyone dumb enough to operate a passthrough to something like what Pirate ran, should by default be considered shady. Pirate promised returns on invested funds, yet he did not disclose any business plan, or showing how this where done. And I am not sure if hos true identity was known either. It was all fueled by greed. People turned the blind eye, as long as they could turn a profit.

Would you hand over a stack of cash to some shady individual that you'd never seen before in a dark street ? I promise you to return a certain amount of interest!

If one has the outlook that there's no such thing as a free lunch, and be sceptical of everything, and only invest if you're reasonably sure it's not a scam, and that when you invest, you're sure that you could stand to take the loss if the shit hits the fan, then you invest. Everything else is lunacy.

Dude Hashking offered personally backed, non-pirate exposed loans with far lower interest rates. There is no reason for him to default on those, other than being a thief.

Yay for being completely but persistently offtopic.

Likewise, I'm willing to pay 500BTC to anyone who can help bring him to justice and recover at least half the BTC he owes.

If anyone manages to get Hashking to pay me what he owes me, I'll give you a bounty of 80BTC

I'll pledge 100 BTC for recovering what Hashking owes me.

I'll also pledge 100 BTC.
