I was selling on LBC using MoneyPak. I got a request for $200 then another for $200 just a few minutes later. I was in such a rush that I checked to see if there was money on both and when I saw there was I released the coins. One buyer had 100% feedback and 30+ trades, and the other 100% with 100+ confirmed trades. After I got through being busy I wrote down the numbers onto a post it. Mid-way through copying the second number I just froze and realized they were the exact same number. I stopped and went to my LBC account and looked at the pictures. Same exact picture just one was turned and one was vertical. I looked and they were the same exact number from the same location bought at the same time (f*** me, right?) I left negative feedback and reported both accounts to LBC. I requested a refund on the number they gave me from MoneyPak because I didn't want them to withdraw it and me be left with $0. It went through so I did get $200 but am still down $200. What will happen now? I know this was my fault I was so damn stupid for not checking and releasing the coins before cashing. The usernames are "Murda148z" and "x-man"

This thread is more fitting on LBC. Basically you released your coins from escrow, so there is nothing you can do. Best case scenario, you contact support and get both accounts banned. However, you're still out $200 worth of btc or moneypack. That's actually a relatively cheap lesson, considering how much scams go on over there.
