Topic: [2015-04-04] CS - BitcoinTalk’s User WoodCollector Hid 5,000 Btc (Read 2800 times)

We?
Your other personalities and yourself?

Lol

I take offence at this. CoinDesk is certain not a "pay for article" type website.

You must be thinking of Buzzfeed: http://tktk.gawker.com/buzzfeed-deletes-post-critical-of-dove-a-buzzfeed-adve-1696852834

Ok mate, i got it.

TL;DR

This whole wood collector saga is about 6 guys who want attention and spend 8-12 hours a day strapped behind a computer.


Oh and Bad Bear is still a liar and a fraud.

LOL probably.
I honestly have not been following the WC threads as of recently, however I have heard a few things about their content. I cannot speak for the others, however I think you are probably are more trying to troll then trying to scam. Although in theory it could be part of an elaborate scam, I can't say for sure either way.
I don't think you are ukcrypto - I do think you are close to him though and he potentially was willing to share his profits with you (again assuming you were in fact trying to scam and not just troll).
I believe that a portion of the 10 coins that you were going to sell for the year were unsold as of when your fraud was uncovered. I would not be 100% surprised if the last of your sales after your scam was discovered were faked and were actually sold to yourself. If this was the case then you could either allow your friend to sell at a high premium (and possibly take a portion of the markup), or you could later sell one of the coins that you sold to yourself at a high markup.
Like I said above, I think you were most likely just trolling. I seriously doubt that anyone actually believed that you hid 5,000 BTC someone for your customers to find - well maybe no one except one moron.

I think you are more likely to be trolling. Besides my theories above, I would say a more likely explanation is that you wanted to use this as a distraction to pull off a scam somewhere else in the forum without a lot of people asking questions.
I think I did a pretty good job answering 1 and 2
He does not give his evidence because it would reveal what methods he uses to determine that you are in fact WC. If he were to do that then you (and other scammers) would be able to more easily avoid detection in the future to pull off scams. BadBear is on my trust list and I trust what he says - I am going to say with a good amount of certainty that he is not wrong. Not only that but you have admitted to him being correct so him giving evidence is a moot point

I admit that looking for treasure is a waste of time yes. If looking for "my alts" entertains you then i'm glad. By the time you fools are done everyone on this forum is going to be an alt of woodcollector. Sorry an alt of me.

Those with brains have already figured out that i am only claiming to be wood collector to A: put an end to the debate about this fake treasure, and B: Make you all look like idiots. Both of which it seems i have done.

There are a few key elements that all you idiots seem to miss on a regular basis.

1: If i was wood collector and the treasure was a scam then i forgot to somehow make a profit from this scam.

2: see #1, unless of course i was also ukcrypto in which case i was trying to make a profit on the last two coins i had at a huge markup

3: No matter if the treasure was real or fake the only persons who stand to profit from it are the coin owners. The coins of which i have none of.

4: If the treasure is fake, i'm not sure what the point of it all was. Wood Collector stands no chance of making a penny of profit off it.


So, if you want to carry on with this game. You kids need to explain a few things first otherwise we can all carry on in the mind set that you are just children out for a troll.

1: If the treasure is fake, how does wood collector stand to gain or profit from it?

2: If i am wood collector, how do i myself stand to gain or profit from it?

3: when you cannot answer #'s 1&2. With wood collector gone and not selling his stuff here any more how does anyone stand to profit from anything involving wood collector?

4: If any of the accounts you accuse of being wood collector are really his alts, why has bad bear not posted any proof? He has been called out over 100 times on his B.S. "probable alt" crap and never once shown proof? He has to either be a liar and a fraud, or just plain dumb.


These are legit questions. You can continue to troll all you would like, its your right. But until these questions are answered with more than just speculation or some b.s. line about grammar we will just continue to write you all off as children out for a troll.

lol. You admit that looking for your "treasure" is a waste of time but looking for your alts is entertaining as is trying to win the contest of who can troll harder

You people are amusing.......... Pathetic for sure, but still amusing.


I have already said that i am WC and that the treasure is fake and you are all still having a debate about it.


Priceless

Actually thinking about it maybe we need a subsection for cryto based news and mainstream news
Kind of a sore point to see articles like this posted in the press section.

Excellent investigative work! Have you personally considered becoming a genuine Bitcoin journalist? 

Was about to call hoax, but you went and summed it up
He-he still keeps that Dildo close

Ha. I think you're probably right. Most of them just post any old crap to get some hits.


Probably didn't pay but might have contacted them with the thread and since they're desperate they'll write up anything.

http://www.stbmedia.com/coinspeaker/advertise/ shows that the only options to advertise on that site is via banner ads. Their careers section says that candidates need experience in "news writing"

I think they are just made up of a bunch of amateur wannabe journalists who have no idea what they are doing, similar to most of the other people that write news about Bitcoin.

I wouldn't be surprised if WC contacted the author outside of the site to pay her to write the article.

She describes herself on her Instagram as a "full-time daydreamer", an excellent qualification for a Bitcoin 'journalist'.

 

It's an "advertorial" website. There is no journalistic integrity. The author is not a journalist. The author will never be taken seriously.

well I would think that they would have at least a small amount of journalistic integrity. The author is going to have a hard time ever being taken seriously after these kinds of articles

If the fake story will not die, maybe a rich BTC owner will hide 5,000 actual Bitcoins to make the story much more fun?  

He said according to everyone who is a child... I think he's making fun of us. Maybe you're the one that can't read or understand what's going on. 

If someone needs money they will posts also "crap" if he will receive money, so I am not amazed that the owner of that site posted the article (also for only 25 bucks).



Can you read at least 4-5 posts before write your own post?

Someone wrote an article already? Gosh...

Is there any proof of this reward's existence?

If that is true then my statement still holds true. If you are going to attach your name to something like what was published then you need to verify what you are writing regardless if he is getting paid for it or not.
