I guess they learned to sell miners watching cartoons.

Just sell the same one over and over again. Move office space etc and start again.

The show continues on https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=723233.0

I as well. But sometimes when the price looks too good, some people still bite and get burned.

Thanks all!!

I remember reading through all the "action" the first time they were "selling" equipment.

When they started listing again all I could see was that old "Heckle N Jeckle" cartoon where they keep selling the same
hot dog over and over again to the same sucker customer.

And just like last time, they keep changing the rules and payment types.
Basically the same "confidence" trick

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_confidence_tricks

What they appear to be doing is a version of "Change raising" mixed in with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bait-and-switch

You can't make this crap up !!

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=723233.0

Maybe its a reality TV show and we just don't  know what channel it's on so we could all be in on it.

i.e. AMT Scammer's Season 2 now airing on channel CONMEN

This thread should sum up pretty much all of Joshua Zipkin aka AMT_Miners antics. Its all very well documented now. Later post show by his own account how he is scamming his customers and what he plans to do so keep an eye out for similar hardware being sold, altho it appears he is taking to craigslist bulgaria and other outlets to sell these miners.

"amtminers scam joshua zipkin scammer"
-Joshua Zipkin leaked skype chats http://bit.ly/1s7U2Yb
-For bitcoin to succeed the community must police itself.

Nice thread!

In case you get ambitious, only one letter needs changing.
