AMT ADVANCED MINERS - INSIDE BITCOIN CONFERENCE LAS VEGAS - BUYERS BEWARE!!!!

[opieum2]

I did contact inside bitcoin, and let them know. I am also sure they saw this thread with almost 600 hits

Most of us Paid $6,000 for miner, but what they sent was a $900 no name dragon type miner. And in my case being on the "naughty list" (because I filed complaints with FTC etc.) mine was send with no power supply. They send me a power supply seperately, but I refuse to build the miner myself.

This is a clear case of federal wire fraud in my opinion, they advertised one thing costing $6,000 and send some random hardware worth a few hundred.  

The second case of wire fraud in my opinion is with the MPP, they clearly advertised it to get pre-orders, however when customers brought it up AMT said things like "Screw the MPP" and "We cant do the MPP anymore". Well they collected millions of dollars, and then they just don't deliver what they advertised. It seems pretty clear to me.

Right, there are a number of illegal elements to this. No trade conference should be allowing them to participate with all this handing over their heads. It makes the conference look unreputable as well. Basically encouraging this kind of behavior. Fact that BFL is also on there as well is a huge flag considering that they even have a convicted felon on wire fraud as part of their company. These conferences do themselves no favors letting people like this into their floors as exhibitors or sponsors.

FYI look out for sock puppet accounts. Paul.Augustine is one of Josh's latest sock puppets. Read and judge for yourself if you think this is not a sock puppet account. Fact is our efforts are working against him in exposing him that he must resort to these deceptive practices, hence the need to create these sock puppets to create false numbers against those who detract from his scam.

FYI Paul Augustine is his real estate agent. "Paul" went silent after that statement. I don't think the real Paul Augustine In Horsham, PA would appreciate his name being used in this manner.

FYI Josh has decided to retaliate against me, by illegally posting my personal information online for all to see. Considering all I did was confirm HIS words, and then post some more that he said, he does not enjoy the truth of the matter getting out there. He also claimed I was a high level (which means classified) government employee which not only potentially puts my family in severe danger (as most high level govt employees have their own security), but it is patently false.

I will be addressing this matter and working with prosecutors and whoever else to make sure this matter gets dealt with to the fullest extent of the law. His wire fraud among other crimes will be addressed in this as well. If anyone going to the Vegas show is lucky they will see him get cuffed as he apparently is currently in Bulgaria. Altho chances are he will get detained at the airport, OR not show up at all. I suppose we will see how this plays out.  You picked the wrong bear to poke Joshua Zipkin as I know you read everything I am posting. I really don't take kindly to threats. And there is a system in place to handle people like you Joshua Zipkin aka AMT_Miners. This is me making use of it.

For anyone with issues and who felt they have been defrauded by Joshua Zipkin please send me a PM with the details of your situation (no personal information required) just the order number and the amount. If you have been in other ways defrauded or somehow illegally acted upon by him feel free to also put that information in the PM. I will reply with the information you will require to make sure action can be taken. If you are international, this matter can still apply you as well.

Beware as he is at the EU bitcoin conference. He will be hawking his wares there as well.

Should also note the hardware he sells tends to be missing stuff. Power supplies and such that are advertised to come with the systems sold. Also note, that support is next to non-existent. Read the various AMT threads in the Hardware subform to get a good idea of how bad it can get. This is a vendor to avoid with extreme caution. Joshua Zipkin aka AMT_Miners should be avoided.

The conference is coming up in a couple of weeks. It's important people realize how he has been scamming people. All the relevant details are in the various threads referenced in this thread.

But to sum up:

-Mines with hardware before shipping it (every machine shipped months late had a unique configuration and a nice layer of dust)
-Ships without parts (PSUs or other needed parts and then neglects all support blaming the user)
-Insults or intimidates or attempts to intimidate people who speak out against Joshua Zipkin and AMT
-Is currently living in Bulgaria, but operating a shell office in PA to appear like a US business.
-While publicly claims to provide refunds, has stated in a group chat (search leak AMT chat in google or forum) that he does not intend to in various ways ("fuck the MPP" (miner protection program) and other excuses to avoid refunding)
-Claims there is no money but is giving talks and making trips to conferences worldwide
-Proclaims varying deals with large vendors in Korea (hi-mart basically Korean walmart), and brags about petahash farm deals in various locations bulgaria, NY and iceland.
-Sent some people $800USD miners for every $6,000USD paid.  Refuses to pay back or compensate difference.
