40BTC for sale

[DannyHamilton]

I have about 40btc I want to sell @bitstamp rate. PM with some offers pls. Escrow is okay. Before you neg me I will sign my wallet upon request

I understand why people are wary.  There are a lot of scams around here, especially with new unrecognized sellers (or buyers) claiming that they want to sell (or buy) a significant sum.

However, you've done enough that I'm willing to believe that you're legit (I'll still be cautious and protect myself).

Let me know what rate you are looking for.

If you're offering a good enough rate, and you're willing to use a trusted forum escrow, then I'll buy.

If everything goes exactly as it should, I'll even leave positive feedback.

There is a VERY good chance OP is a well known scammer.

No.  Not joking.

Saw your posts. The fact that Marc got his hands on funds from this wallet, or that funds that Marc had eventually made their way to this wallet does not concern me.  Unless there is proof that the address used for the signature is under the control of Marc, I'm willing to give the user the benefit of the doubt.

I will, of course, INSIST that either he sends first, or that we use trusted forum escrow.

If you can use Chase QuickPay to receive your payment, and will send the bitcoin to an escrow such as OgNasty before I send you funds, then I would be willing to purchase some BTC.

As long as the OP is willing to use a trusted third party escrow chosen by the buyer, what is the risk? I agree that the OP seems shady, but he has proven ownership of the BTC he is trying to sell, and assuming he agrees to use escrow, why shouldn't people do business with him? Refusing to buy his coins won't make him pay back anyone if this is in fact Marc. As long as the buyer exercises proper caution, they are not at risk in my opinion.

LMK if you need an escrow. I'll do this one for free.

Will do.

If he's a scammer, he'll never take me up on the offer.

If he's legit, he's going to have a hard time finding a better offer than mine.  There aren't many non-scammers that are going to be willing to exchange 40 BTC with an unknown Newbie.

Lol.... Wow. Okay whatever, I was trying to help you guys out and just sell btc without any ridiculous fees. You guys are unbelievable.

Then you won't deal with DannyHamilton?
That would clear any doubts we have.

I'm just saying be more careful dealing with the OP. How many have said they would deal with escrow before? How many times have others tried to pull off scams involving fake escrows or back out at the last minute while trying to get others to send first?

Believe what you want but I know the OP is a scammer. If this is not Marc, it's someone else known around here. Just follow the blockchain transactions Doesn't matter if he completes this trade or not, he's still a scammer and should NOT be trusted.

Danny would obviously be careful enough dealing with him but I'm not so sure of others. Greed seems to get the best of people around here.

I honestly don't even think using escrow would be safe for the buyer on this one. The OP is likely going to say that he somehow the funds were not received or that whatever code was given to him did not work/was redeemed already ect.

The OP needs to find someone very reputable that he is willing to send first too, I would personally vouch that Danny is reputable enough to trust sending first too, but is probably one of very people who of so, especially with such a large amount

[damiano]

Wow he is still at it.  I would of thought someone would have broken his fingers about now.

Many of us have long histories of established trades with no issues.  We don't need your "help".

If you've got 40 BTC that you want to turn into cash, and you want to avoid some delays and inconveniences, then I'm happy to help you.

You guys are unbelievable.

Unbelievable how?

I said I was willing to believe you are legit.

I said I was willing to exchange with you.

You haven't responded to me yet.  Why not?

I'd be perfectly happy to send CASH directly to the escrow provider.  That way the escrow provider can count it and make sure it's all there.  They can then forward that on to BTCist (I'll even provide the postage paid addressed envelope for forwarding it.  That way the escrow provider can know with 100% certainty that I have provided the agreed funds.

That would work, however they would need to be US based (a lot of them are not - but I think TC is), and the escrow provider would need to reveal their identity/address/PO box to the buyer, which is something that a lot of escrow providers may not want to do (especially TC - a lot of scammers hate him, although he may trust you specifically with that info), as well would delay the time it would take the seller to receive funds (this is probably a necessary evil involved in using escrow though)

I think you guys are arguing a moot point, as his account has likely been abandoned and this transaction will never take place.

Has it occurred to you that these were coins scammed from other people? They're now being laundered, so of course he wants the deal to go through. You're not getting scammed directly, but you are a part of his scheme to get clean money.

Whether or not you care about the BTC originating from illicit activity is another matter.

I don't think so, he could just use a mixer to laundry the bitcoins.

I'm pretty sure he's trying to directly scam some more. He will avoid proper escrow at all cost.

Bitcoin is fungible so regardless of where it originated is not reliviant, although buying from that specific address could, in theory attract attention from law enforcement and result in the loss of privacy if his identity is associated with however he sells the bitcoin when he goes on to sell/spend it.

As mentioned above marc might have well laundered the bitcoin via bitmixer or one of many casinos that can/will effectively launder funds for you.

Well there's 2 different possible scenarios here:

1) He wants to scam more, directly from this trade. Won't happen anymore.
2) He needs fiat from these scammed coins. Can still happen if buyer doesn't mind dirty BTC.


Doesn't change the fact that he has done quite a bit of scamming. No mixer was used, the dude is extremely sloppy. Similar how he didn't even fully conceal his email address on a previous scam attempt.

[BitcoinFr34k]

Yea for some reason he is horrible at coin control and reuses addresses like crazy.

If he needed fiat for whatever reason then he might as well sell it on an exchange who I am sure will not check for it being sent from an known address of a scammer.

TBH he is probably scamming to fund some kind of drug habit and was somehow high when he attempted to scam which resulted in his cover being blown
