Moolah Scam on Mintpal - Reporting Missing Coins

[BlockaFett]

Hey maybe I should tell you all what happened to me; I used to be a trader on MP exchange selling/buying Darkcoins. However, when MP was moving to V2 I took what I had and moved it to my wallet I had around 14,500 Darkcoins and .01 BTC "Only moved my Darkcoins" Then problems started to happened I did not care about my .01BTC much since I started to see people having problems with withdrawing their coins out of MP exchange. When they allowed people for a very short time to withdraw their coins I went back to take what's left which was 0.01 BTC what I saw was my 14,500 Darkcoins I got worried that what if my coins in my wallet disappear so I transferred that again I have my Darkcoins 2x but never my BTC!

I sent emails to Moolah & MPexchange no response what so ever, I know these coins don't belong to me since I am now sure that my 1st Darkcoins are safe because I moved it to Bitstamp after selling my Darkcoins on Cryptsy probably a month ago and the 2nd 14,500 are still sitting in my wallet and I have no idea what to do with them. I  know it's not mine but again no one wanna claim it "MP or Moolah". I just recently created a twitter account tried to contact them both but as if I don't exist lol.

P.S ~ I don't have much computer skills or use twitter or be able to create Masternodes, also don't ask me about making deals please ohh and ignore my not so good English

Also when I say wallet I mean another exchange!

Can you post some screenshots or something to show what you are presenting?

I figured something out thanks to this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7Xf6AGHOX0

I would recommend you contact Ferdous Bhai who is one of the Mintpal owners and trying to get people's alts back, contact him here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=387912 or here: https://twitter.com/ferdousbhai/

Yeah. I think more people also said 2x withdrawals were possible, a while ago. But there are some things you should take into account

The double withdrawal bug first came to our knowledge some time ago, when the moolah V2 platform was running, I spoke to Ryan on the phone and alerted him of it at that precise time as well.

I'll need to dig out my call logs and find out exactly when it was, but it was roughly 3 months ago.

The 'bug' is just a smokescreen to lend some plausibility to Ryan's scam like others are implying here.

So the scam was perpetrated by having low-level confusion with some users double withdrawing, so he can try to say that's how the coins went missing, Mt Gox style.

But seeing as the data is going to be analyzed and there are trails of him heisting the BTC to his own bank this is a fail as usual.

It would be good if you could find proof of Green knowing about the 'bug' before he went ahead and pressed the V2 button...

There is other proofs.

Hey all, just found this post. I'm not sure what kind of action i need to take. I have about 2k worth of alts and 3k of Bitcoins.

I've tried to withdrawl my coins over the past few weeks but nothing is moving.
-please help :/

[pringles1901]

Hi All

I think i may have found were some of the stolen bitcoins are being sold too
Its on ebay
i had a conversation with this guy today & he told me he has 780 of them & wants to & i quote
"I want to get ride of 780 coins ASAP.  Im not bothered how or who with"

Given he offerd them to me at just £150 per bitcoin its very odd that they are so cheap, also i note that he is also working with another seller of the same sort of offer.

i tracked back to were this guy purchased his first 3 items from on ebay & it was bitcoins for only £72 each...the person he bought them from lives in Chorley Lancashire & guess were this bloke lives too...yep you guessed it Chorley also

Just seems odd that someone how also claims to be very clued up on BTC & claims to belong or a member of many exchanges would also not sell them for the full value on exchanges but would rather sell them for far less on ebay & also lose fees too.

I also noted the address of this person so we can if anyone does live near by pay him a visit to see what the hell is going on

I have the full message transcript of this & all the item numbers too, screenshots of the auctions & much more if we need to send this to the police for investigations

[tombtc]

Man post the ebay links asap

[pringles1901]

OK here they are

This guy is the one who wants to sell 780 Bitcoins asap

http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/graham2014graham/m.html?item=151463244224&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562


This is the other guy who lives in the same area as the one above.
If you look at the feedback you will see the top 3 are the same seller that is selling


http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/mckay2107/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=100&_trksid=p3692

this will link both of them to each other & also give you a whole lot of coins very cheap

all i ask is dont be complete assholes & buy them...this would upset me & make me just give up trying to assist in the way of getting some coins back for all

I also have the home address of of one of them it is

25 Whittam Road
Chorley
Lancashire
PR7 3LJ
United Kingdom

It might be him. Nobody sells coins at £150. He cannot deposit them to stamp because they were notified and will freeze them. So he wants to sell them on ebay. I wonder what is the name on that paypal account.

[pringles1901]

Its easy to get his name all you have to do is buy one of the auctions, when you send him the Paypal payment you will receive an invoice from Paypal with the name of the account holder you sent it too

Job done

What someone should do is notify ebay of this & that will stop him selling them on ebay...this way if he has no other options to sell them he is then stuck with them until we finally catch up with him

I am sure if the right person with the right information regarding the Mintpal Moolah thing informs ebay they will end the auctions ASAP

I hope he doesnt know how to make a fake paypal with a verified status.

[tombtc]

You don't want to buy stolen coins, do you?

[pringles1901]

no no no i am just saying if someone did buy them just for evidence purposes thats all...you will then have name, address & even more importantly a blockchain addy to trace back were the coins came from originally...if it links back to Moolah & Mintpal you have every shred of evidence you will ever need

Jobs a good un then

[Nomercy82]

You don't want to buy stolen coins, do you?

Well, it looks like someone is going to buy them, whether it's someone from here or not.

[pringles1901]

Not if someone informs eBay before the auction end

[SpainCoinDev]

Shady mofo... you can bet his paypal account is under a stolen identity and so on.

On a side note, the judge probably doesn't understand -unless it's been explicitly explained to him- that Ryan is still controlling and selling the coins even if he gives away the hard disks as he's been asked to do.

[neonhouse]

missing 5+ bitcoins.
So whats the possibility that will ever see them again?

I don't even understand what is going on?

Moolah is holding the rest of bitcoins?
or mintpal is holding the rest of bitcoins?

Or theres some stupid bullshit again, about stolen bitcoins?
