I'm sorry if you have already seen this story but it is just incredible to me that this clown is still operating all these sites and making insane posts in this forum, all while admitting to and keeping RickyJames $80,000 in bitcoin.
I HAVE NO MONEY - BUT I HAVE PRIDE AND REFUSE TO LET THIS CLOWN MAKE A WEBSITE ABOUT ME, CALLING ME A SCAMMER AND EXTORTIONIST WHEN I'VE NEVER TAKEN A BIT FROM ANYONE AND HE HAS ADMITTED TO STEALING, AND KEEPING 127 BTC WHILE ALSO CLAIMING, "$80k is nothing to me, I have 50,000 bitcoins"
Michael Moriarty is a joke! My goal is simple... I want him to pay back the money he stole or to go to jail for the crime he has committed. I really don't care which one. You can checkout
http://antilyze.com for full details but I will try and keep this post short as possible and clear.
1. I (JC) write an article, an interview about Dr. Michael Moriarty PhD (MM) and his network on CyptoCoinsNews, where I work as a journalist. I praise MM for being a bitcoin advocate and in the article he shits on Coinbase and Circle etc. calling them Ponzi schemes and in bed with the Federal Reserve etc.
2. BitcoinTalk user "RickyJames" (RJ) sees the interview and uses MM site "bitlaunder.com" to deposit about 132btc for mixing. After the coin is not returned for 24 hours, RJ tries to email MM but gets no response. RJ tries support requests and more emails and all go unanswered.
3. RJ emails me and asks if I will try and contact MM as I did the interview. I say okay. At first, I assume RJ is full of shit. So, I email MM as to why I have a customer claiming $80,000 in losses at his site. MM returns my email saying he never heard of RJ, knows nothing of the situation.
4. RJ emails me a PDF of proof (pdf available at
http://www.antilyze.com/work.html) which includes the address he paid the coin to, I check MM site and indeed that is the pay to address and when checking blockchain, RJ's proof holds up. Now I'm thinking, "Okay MM, where is this 80k?"
5. MM emails me and says he can confirm user RJ sent 125 btc and withdraws 123 btc. Claims RJ is a scammer-extortionist and not to worry about him. He also gives me the bitlaunder "payout address" of 1DDWEQM11uMUKiqpGEWvBT2at3CjCw3Vra (1DD) I again check the blockchain and see the money go from RJ to MM then from MM to 1DD. From 1DD there is never a payout of anything close to 123 btc. So, I simply ask MM for a transaction id. MM emails me copies of emails of him "taking care" of customers and says, "now, do I look like a scammer? I have no need for his 125 btc, I have over 50,000 bitcoins"
6. This seems crazy, I email Michael and again ask, "MM, this is simple, I need the payout trx id so I can get RJ off my back. Where are his coins?" I tell him that RJ will go to the feds soon, he really should give me the info.
7. MM then says that if RJ goes to the Feds that RJ will be arrested because the coins are dirty and stolen. Then asks me, "Why would you send someone 125 btc and need them cleaned in 24 hours? Why so quickly? Because they are stolen or hacked that's why"
8. I email MM and tell him he is actually wrong. I say that RJ is clean and so are the coins. At this point I'm shocked! How can MM play cop? He runs a launder site and chooses when to send coins back to the customer? That is theft!
9. MM emails back and asks to see the proof that RJ and his coins are clean... which I provide him. MM writes back and says that he has checked into RJ and I am right, that RJ and his coins are clean and so he will get them back shortly. Wants RJ to email him with btc address and an agreement that once the 125 btc is returned, that the case is closed.
10. RJ emails MM as requested and MM confirms and says he will send a test transaction for 0.01 btc and then the rest. MM sends 0.01 and then shows his true colors by KEEPING THE REST!
He has never sent the rest of the stolen btc. Again, for copies of all emails, see http://antilyze.com - I understand it sounds crazy but it is the truth. MM admits he has the coins, then just refuses to give them back.The day after he was supposed to send the 125 btc and did not, MM posts in the forum that he has opened hotbitcoins.com and has decided to "Give Away Free Bitcoin" but fails to respond to any email from JC or RJ about the stolen coins. Then yesterday, he responds to a thread concerning the safety of investing in btc and says,
I just invested $400,000 into Bitcoin
proof: 1DDWEQM11uMUKiqpGEWvBT2at3CjCw3Vra
Like an idiot, he shows the address that he has already told me is the bitlaunder payout address. So, when users send him coin, and he mixes them and then either does or does not (in the case of RJ) return them to the customer, he is claiming that as proof of his btc investments. He is a laughable clown! Those are users of your site depositing coin that you are to pay them out with... that isn't investing you fraudulent scumbag.
Since this all began, MM has continued operating all his scam sites including but not limited to:

There is no reason for him not to repay RJ.
MY MISTAKE:In the course of my emails with MM and trying to get him to admit that he had RJ's coins, I sent an email from another email account (same IP) in which I even signed the email JC.
He was supposed to know it was me, but I was trying to get him to admit that he had the coins. This was before he ever claimed they must be stolen or flat out said that he still held him. In my email I said, "I know what you've done, so to keep me quiet, I need 20 btc." I admit now, that wasn't the best idea but I was always in contact with RJ and had MM decided to send the 20 btc, I would have sent it to RJ immediately and with it, the obvious fact that MM has admitted to stealing the coins.
Ultimately, he did admit it and turned down the 20 btc offer, instead trying to bribe me by asking me to ignore RJ and to work for him writing positive articles about his site for 3 btc a month. (Hmmmm, wonder where he will get these 3 btc a month) I turn him down and say no way, this ends only when RJ is paid back. Well, instead MM makes a site named after my name
http://jerancampanella.com and claims there that I am a scammer extortionist.
What an asshole! Claims I was fired from my job at CCN for writing lies about MM, claims that my house is in foreclosure and that I am scamming bitcoin businesses. Those are all huge lies. I still work for CCN, and had an article published yesterday. My home is not in foreclosure and I have never tried any scam or even thought about screwing any other human. I believe in what is right. I live by the Golden Rule. And if I stole $80k, well I can't see having a problem with someone who tried to "extort" me into returning what I had stole. Sounds like a good person in my mind. But, now I'm the bad guy.
This must stop. I am trying to recover funds for RJ. I wanted nothing out of this. But at this point, I want MM to pay Ricky back or pay by going to jail for running a scam operation. In the interview he slammed Coinbase and Circle for their practices and for them wanting to know your private info. On his sites he makes the following claims:
Customer service is available 24/7 by our support ticket system and we usually respond within hours. (He never got back to RJ. He only responded to my inquiries)
If you make money speculating, you may incur 'capital gains taxes' in your country. However, we DO NOT report to any revenue agency or government, nor would we comply with official requests for information. Whether you choose to pay taxes on your profits is your business. (Illegal)
Our privacy policy ensures we do not share information with third parties, including governments or revenue agencies, under any circumstances. Nor do we retain client information or IP logs beyond what is necessary to service your account. We protect your privacy and anonymity by not storing IP logs or personal information. Nor do we respond to requests to divulge such information. No personal identifying information is required to sign up, and no IP logs are maintained for the site. We could not identify you to third parties under any circumstances. We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your personally identifiable information. This does not include trusted third parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or servicing you, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential.We will NOT comply with any court order for information pertaining to our clients, nor will we comply with any government request (of any country) for information about our clients.Then after those statements he states,
"We may release your information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect ours or others rights, property, or safety. However, non-personally identifiable visitor information may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses." (Hmmmm conflicting much?)
Moral here is that MM is a scumbag. He has tried to scare me into backing down with repeated threats of what will happen if I don't "get back to my life." He has also offered me bribes for ignoring RJ and "getting back to my life."
I will
DO NO SUCH THING since they all involve letting him steal $80,000. He has made a recent post on the forum and at jerancampanella.com saying some of his sites have been reported by me and that my claims are "factless." Again, please see
http://antilyze where every bit of proof is found. Also see RJ's most recent post here
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/scam-alert-michael-moriartymoriartybitcoinbitlaundercom-stole-80k-from-me-713699It is VERY true that I have been and will continue reporting every single site he owns. I have already had all his sites listed on badbitcoin.org. Why can't he simply stop being a douchebag and return the $80,000 he flat out stole from RJ? Here is a few reasons perhaps...
- He is not a Doctor in any way. He is a school boy thief who lives with Mommy
- You are not Michael Moriarty, and you are not a criminal mastermind like the Moriarty in Sherlock Holmes. He is a character, and this is real life... scam artists like this ass and others like Karpeles will ultimately pay for his actions.
- He is not a PhD from Stanford. He might have a PhD in being a scammy piece of shit however. He registers all his sites under a pseudonym. He registers them under a "mailing center" or fake addresses and uses fake phone numbers that do not work.
- He is a total scam artist attempting to operate a business with a refusal to remain transparent because of the fact that on occasion he sees a need to steal his customers money.
If you operated your business Mr. Michael Whateveryournameis, like the businesses you hate, Coinbase, Circle, etc. you would not be able to steal, because these companies are owned and operated by legit business owners who follow laws which help protect their customers, and include accountability. You have none of these things. What you do have is nothing more than a movie poster as your identity and the identity of the owner of your company. This allows your customers no redress in the event, such as RJ, of theft of their money when entrusting it to one of your many sites.
BTCOUNTY - REWARD - BTCOUNTY - REWARDI OFFICIALLY AM OFFERING ALL I CAN TO HELP CATCH THIS SCAMMY SCHOOL BOY. THE BOUNTY WILL BE PAID FOR INFO HELPING TO BRING MM TO JUSTICE OR TO PAY WHAT HE HAS STOLEN. My Bounty on MM is 1 btc.
I'm available for chat at
http://antilyze.com I am not hard to find. I'm not hiding like the con man MM. I'm not the piece of shit and if after reading this you think MM is anything but a piece of shit, then I suggest you look in the mirror.
Would appreciate comments or any help or ideas on how we get this no good scammer running a scam operation that has probably turned thousands off bitcoin with his theft.
See below more sites that talk about this loser MM.Thanks for taking the time to read this.
PLEASE SPREAD IT EVERYWHERE YOU CAN. I have no idea how he thinks it is okay to steal 80k and then take my name and create a site that calls me a scammer when I have zero. I never did this for any money! I was at first, clearing MM's name and once I realized what happened, I tried to recover the money from RJ. Instead, I'm hung out to dry while MM flashes his new sites around and calls me a scammer.
You can add see other sites that are talking about Michael Moriarty below

Tweet, Facebook, or email him like crazy calling for the return of RJ's money. He has no right to steal $8 let alone $80k
And Michael, I'm not afraid of you. You know my address. Come do something besides sit in your basement hiding like a pathetic scammy clown. I'm not hiding. That's the luxury of operating with transparency. You don't need to register all your sites under fake names and pretend you have a PhD and pretend you went to Stanford. You are simply pathetic, and it shows every single day you let this drag on rather than allowing us all to return to our lives. I know you don't have one, no girl would ever be with a coward. But in case you did not know, Ricky and I have shit to do. So, end this fucking game and return the money you stole, admitted to stealing, and still possess. Or enjoy your last few weeks of freedom... it is coming to an end.
