Heh. Looks like my negative feedback pushed him into the red:

http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l21/mattduffin/negative_zps202f8a81.jpg

Not that it matters because:
  • He won't use silvercane again
  • He'll just create another username
  • It's too late for negative trust to matter
but it still feels good seeing it Cheesy

Interesting that the website & social media profiles are still up; they're usually the first to disappear.

Ok, I've looked this up on Urban Dictionary Grin

I'd have no objections if somebody wanted to do this, but I would stress that the name he used in the contract is my first encounter with that name; it could be fake for all I know.

If I were to have gone ahead with the contract, I would've insisted on exchange of government-issued IDs, but it didn't get that far.

Duffles, a dox is when you get somebody to track down a person over the internet and get their tue identity. It has worked before in the case of btc-arbs, another ponzi where the owner was caught so he had to pay back all the btc.

So it's a digital Dog The Bounty Hunter Wink ... legality?

When I produced code for him to automate the countdown clock, he said that his timezone was AEST - Australian Eastern. So it'd have to be someone who can operate with Australian ISPs, etc. Does the forum team release IP addresses in these cases then?

Since you are not in the default trust list, your trust feedback is "untrusted" to most of the people here and so his trust score is still 0 for most of us.

Well damn, I thought I would be fast & smart enough and invested 0.233 BTC in the 14 day plan. 8 days is damn short, but it seems he made quite an amount in that time.
Is there some way of help to get the money back (like it happened with btc-arbs) ?

I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying.

I believe btc-arbs started to repay people back, because someone has successfully dox him.
You guys could try doing the same and get him. Good luck. Smiley

I don't know much about doxxing, but I have checked the btc-arbs dox earlier and I think bitsalame has done an incredible work. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=639298.0

TheGambler appears to be silvercane. He slipped up, and has deleted the incriminating posts in this thread as a result. Here's one of his deleted posts:

This news is incorrect, I'm the owner and we were not hacked.

My thoughts on this:

I of course don't think the owner should refund him the 0.2BTC, I do however feel that it should go to a charity. Tails gets most of its funding from Tor who get most of their funding from the gov, so I don't know why you would donate to Tails, they essentially have access to government funding and have plenty of cash.

Whereas projects like OpenBSD are struggling to pay the power bill: http://www.zdnet.com/electricity-bill-threatens-survival-of-openbsd-7000025276/
Maybe you could donate it to them instead.

Besides Tails sucks, they need to properly isolate the OS using virtualization, as it stands if you are rooted you can be identified very easily.

If you were actually scammed for 6BTC then of course you should keep it for yourself as reimbursement, but clearly you're lying when you say you lost 6BTC. If not then post your inputs email.

But of course you're just going to keep it, thats how a HYIP makes money, the owner keeps it.
Why would i give my personal email (the email I used on inputs) to a scammer and someone who obviously is not TradeFortress?
Even vod himself says it is not him...how can I be sure my email won't be used for something other than looking my account up?
Also providing it proves nothing... He won't reimburse it so my email is publicly there for people to see which can be used for all types of things. My email will not be posted, Free Hugs will not reimbursed and the charity will depend on whether Free Hugs proves that he is Tradefortress or until he hurries up and finishes trolling and pulls his head in.

Here's other posts he made in the moderated service thread:

Seems like the number of payments are steadily increasing by the day...
congrats on the $500 paid mark!

Wow nice payouts!

Here is a post he made on a competing HYIP:

"1 bitcoin to start.
If I get information that is strongly leading to a real identity, 2 extra bitcoins at the release of the information.
Of course, I will never deliver half baked information, you already know how thorough I am.

Full disclaimer: I can't guarantee prosecution of the culprit, I can't guarantee that the culprit will return the money, I am not a legal adviser, and I only gather information from public sources of information. I can't guarantee the successful identification of the culprit, especially but not only if the culprit took preventive measures to avoid tracking. Some strongly leading information might require law enforcement intervention to serve subpoenas to institutions, my commitment doesn't include the contact with law enforcement. I can't be held responsible of the information that is released to armin22 or his associates.
The recommended prices are suggested donations for aiding in web crawling and connecting the dots from public sources of information.

If you agree with this, send a bitcoin to 16c3WkmjnAZ9H2ejMSqnyPYH2LZ7VXAq74"

That's the guy who managed to find the true identity of another HYIP guy, and the HYIP owner paid everyone back.

So in order to get our money back we send more money somewhere else ?

3 BTC is a lot. Did silvercane actually scam that much ?
