Repost : A Message to the Litecoin Group From Danny Maddox in San Francisco

[Graet]

this was posted in the newbies forum - in case an yone doesnt look there i reposted here

I apologize in advance for such a long post but I think it will explain a few things. I would have posted in your main forum but I discovered I am limited to posting only here in the novice section.


On Thursday morning I started getting bombarded with lots of Facebook messages and friend request from a quite a few people that I didn't know. Like most people would do I ran an antivirus software scan thinking I had an FB virus or something. The next day I received three very strange rambling calls at my place of work and on the fourth time what sounded like a middle aged man made some statement about messing with people's money and that I probably shouldn't  start my car from too close a distance. After the previous third call I activated our system's record function and the entire fourth call was captured. The SF police upon hearing the playback dispatched a bomb squad and determined the call to be a hoax after spending an hour examining my car, nonetheless a Felony Terroristic Threat charge is being investigated.  All the detectives will tell me is that the phone number was positively identified to a person in another state and they are moving forward with charges via the FBI. That same person apparently acquired what they thought was my cell phone number but reached my 11 year old daughter instead. The things he said to her are beyond deviant especially when said to an 11 year old. A different police jurisdiction is handling that issue but it appears to be the same individual.

Earlier this morning Friday I accepted a friend request from one of the many received  since Thursday and the person explained to me what was going on, pointed me to this forum and I have spent most of the day trying to grasp what a cryptocurrency program is and catching up on the history of this. After doing a little digging on the persona known here as BCX or Bitcoin Express and claiming to be a woman named Kaley Wu I possibly can shed a little light on this and hopefully convince you people that you have the wrong person and will voluntarily stop terrorizing me, my family and quit harassing my co-workers.  My name is Dan Maddox, I am from San Francisco and I have two children, an 11 year old daughter whose mother died when she was 1 year old from an aggressive form Hodgkin’s  Lymphoma and 3 year old son with my current wife.

Ten years ago before we were married my current wife, an Asian woman was stalked to the extremes by a guy she never met but had corresponded with a few times via email when she still lived in the Philippines. After this guy completely turned bizarre in his emails my wife stopped responding to him and he didn't take well to it. He sent more than 100 unanswered emails, but eventually he stopped. She didn't hear from him at all for almost two years till she started corresponding with me as apparently he was monitoring her emails because he had her password. This guy cyber terrorized us both after we were married  from early 2005 to mid 2009. His name name is Paul Holcomb and he is from Punta Gorda, Florida originally. I have no idea where he lives now. This guy is a highly skilled network and security engineer so faking IP's, VPN and cracking security isn't an issue for him. He has a fixation with Asian women and has setup numerous Asian women profiles in the past to harass us. He has numerous times cracked our emails, Facebook and many other online accounts.

Mr. Holcomb's preferred method of terrorization is using the internet as a weapon. In 2009 only after legal action against his hosting provider was I able to get a blog taken down that was being penned in my wife's name and persona. Just like here on Bitcointalk Forum, it was a drawn out personal war against a passionate group of people that drew a retaliatory response in a very big way. He set everything up in mine and her name so it could be tracked back to us. This person has also posted on numerous anti-semantic and hate group boards as me and has triggered retaliatory responses from other groups in the past. It is happening again. In all cases above the police are unable to conclusively tie anything concrete to him so nothing ever happens. He was arrested in Los Angeles in 2009 but never charged.

Kaley Wu is a fake persona.  Kaley Wu has mimicked my educational history as I did attend Baylor earning a Business Degree and an MBA in Marketing from Stanford.  I am an Online Marketer, Adwords Specialist and I know squat about programming. I don't have the expertise to engage in crypto anything much less your program here.

This person as Kaley Wu has tried numerous times over the past year to get me to accept a friend request and I still had one pending, so I accepted it which allowed me to look around their account. I was able to see and screen shot this person's whole account. It is entirely mind boggling to the level this person has created a fake account with more than 80 friends that are indeed real people and seem to interact with her from time to time. Close examination of the wall history shows that no one knows her too well but chats with her quite often about the kind of things you would in a public social setting with nothing really too personal. I spent a lot of the day looking up all 85 of "her" friends and found 3 that I could tie back to this forum definitely and three others possibly. I will be contacting the three I identified via the private message function of this forum.

As someone who has an analytical eye and an outsider looking in, I am amazed that people as smart as you all are were so fooled by this person. Kaley Wu claims to have been one of the earliest coin miners but only registered on this forum in June 2011. Internet research easily shows bitcoins and mining have been around since 2009. Why a first time appearance in 2011 on the main forum? I spent all day literally, the last 14 hours of my life sifting through this trying to understand it all. None of it makes sense as to why this person is a pseudo celebrity here. Since Mr. Holcomb is indeed a highly skilled technical person I do believe that he has an interest in this, but when the relationship turned combative, he stoked it to the explosion point so he could further use it to harass me and my family. Paul Holcomb might have attacked your coins, but Kaley Wu sure as heck didn't. I have no idea where the several photos of the very pretty woman in her FB came from but I doubt her name is Kaley Wu. I certainly don't think this girl even knows about it.

I am asking you people to please stop terrorizing me and my family. One person is definitely going to jail. I can assure you that when a major city's police department responds with a bomb squad they're not going to drop it. When someone calls an 11 year old girl sitting in a public school summer program and threatens to rape her in the most violent way possible because supposedly her father was messing up there online program and the teacher listened in, that isn't going to be dropped either.

Of the three I have positively identified from Kaley Wu's Facebook, one of you lives in Miami and works for a Twitter Vendor, One of you works as an IT Sys Admin in Los Angeles and one of you works for Google. Two of the three possible identified lives in Melbourne, Austraila and one in Phoenix, Arizona.

Personally I would like for this to end right here. Please remove my personal information from the forum and quit harassing me, I did nothing to you. As a professional marketing executive with an MBA and a person that has quite a successful history with startups and major online companies I can assure you that this type of behavior being so well documented and Google indexed in a publicly accessible forum is powerfully devastating to your startup venture and will make serious investors run. Please don’t allow Mr. Holcomb to damage your program any further by tricking what I think is a good group of people into making silly mistakes in the heat of passion. Your anger is wrongfully misdirected and causing real world pain to innocent people.

I suspect since Mr. Holcomb's game has now been played and he has been exposed both to me and the community here, he will simply evaporate. That is his usual modus operandi. Once again I ask that this community here on the Bitcointalk Forum please leave and my family alone.

Sincerely,
Dan Maddox

Wow....just wow...

Drama...seriously....

[DiCE1904]

way to go guys.....way to go

[Nicksasa]

way to go guys.....way to go

Exactly, calling him and asking for information is 1 thing, but telling an 11yr old your going to rape her ... ?  Even IF he had been bitcoinexpress, saying such things is simple unacceptable.

[Bitcoin Oz]

RealSolid is in Melbourne so maybe he is going to get a visit

You got the wrong person you bunch of morons. The misdirection on the part of BCX was obvious and you idiots don't even bother checking your facts.

Whoever said anything indecent to the little girl deserves some jail time. Even if this was the right guy the girl was an innocent.

And the bomb threat.. Whoever did that is a freaking moron and the police now have a huge bill for the bomb squad they they won't soon forget about.

[VelvetLeaf]

Can't stop laughing, so I'll write this quickly.
I'm not part of the attacker but I've been thinking why BitcoinTalk.org users terrorizing Danny Madox, eventhough they are not 99% sure it's BitcoinExpress ?
Here's my thoughts :

It happened because :
1. BitcoinExpress plan to terrorize Litecoin network on Friday / Saturday : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=95116.0
2. Bitlance (Internet Detective) do a good job convincing the forum that BCX is really Danny Madox : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=95398.msg1054725#msg1054725
3. Danny Maddox suddenly remove his work history. This is really suspicious, it's like an attempt to hide something : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=95398.msg1059292#msg1059292
4. Moderators & Administrator don't do anything against this problem.

Primary Goals :
1. To make BCX stop the attack against Litecoin network

Secondary Goals :
1. Finding the real BitcoinEXpress is hard, really hard, so
2. They are trying that attack against a fake clone to see "live" what will really happen, to raise public awareness of this problem.
3. So by the time they attack the real clone, the attack will be better coordinated.
4. To involve lolmoderators in this incident.

Wonder if they will call it "terrorism"

With the above comment in mind, is there any way that you can explain your 'lapse' in knowledge of Bitcoin and it's economic workings from the time you posted the comment below (that linked many to your Facebook profile in the first place), up till now, where you seem to be trying to 'grasp' the concept, as a beginner ?

3 Days later, the following was posted along with more, on a 'History Of Bitcoin' related article.

What I am confused about is, Mr. H is impersonating you and has faked an identity, yet the Facebook profile that things point to gives you the ability to answer friend requests etc....and led you here as a beginner, yet over a year ago, you were already well versed in Bitcoin Economics and Wallet operation as well as block reward amounts ?

I am completely confused now.

[abbeytim]

still what they did was wrong i dont care wether he is bcx or not
did any one ever threaten luke jr loke this no

and you can be upset about it but dont resort to violence

[Nachtwind]

would it somehow be possible to merge the two threads into one OR accept one thread about this whole story to be THE thread for discussions?
No point doing parallel discussions..

[smoothie]

Proof abbey...i want to see a copy of the police report.

[AndyRossy]

multi account?

[bitlane]

Well, FOR THE RECORD: I have NEVER attempted to contact Danny Maddox on any other medium than the Bitcointalk.org forum....and in that, only the reply above.

[ElectricMucus]

So to get this straight: According to Danny Maddox there is some guy (conjectured to be the real BitcoinEXpress) who created the Kaley Wu persona with the goal to stalk/terrorize him, independently it's usage for impersonating BitcoinEXpress on this forum.

Or, even created the whole Drama here in order to terrorize Danny Maddox.

That, quite frankly sounds very hard to believe, something like "I don't know who you are talking about, go move along" would have been as least a bit of convincing, but this??? So we should look out for this "Paul Holcomb" now or what?

[abbeytim]

just get over it ignore bcx and i dont need proof

the world will not die without litecoin

[smoothie]

just get over it ignore bcx and i dont need proof

the world will not die without litecoin

And I do need proof...so let's agree to disagree.

[Bitcoin Oz]

just get over it ignore bcx and i dont need proof

the world will not die without litecoin

This is the internet and anything written you take at face value untill proof is presented.

[n4l3hp]

There's an internet professional named Paul Holcomb in San Francisco Bay area. But I hope nobody do anything drastic, as it might be the wrong person.

[Greedi]

No matter what, no one should make this personel, this is the internet, let it be there.. doing personel attack is so wrong if you ask me !..
