The following post was gleaned from the second link you provided above (last post which I'm quoting):


With the exception of nibbknot, all were employees of BFL. I'll give you one guess, and one guess ONLY, as to who was nibbknot. Time's up!

I wish I was there at BFL's office the day Sonny Vleisides first read nibbknot's first posts. The dude went totally apeshit wondering who the fuck in his office was nibbknot because nibbknot exposed a bunch of shit that ONLY Sonny knew was true, yet nibbknot had the info.

Aside: Anybody wanna buy the nibbknot user account on this forum. PM me if you do. I may me able to contact the dude. 

Shame he aint Japenesse.......  Harry Carry Dai   

Patrick Dai aka Steven Dai aka Johnson Dai.  Invest in this project and your Bitcoins Dai (Die). 

Yes Gleb, thanks for your support in the past, we'll earn it again I hope.

In case you missed it, the BFL Foundation is made up of its employees just like the Qtum Foundation. Ironic, eh?

Unless I'm mistaken, Qtum received over a million dollars in VC funding and supposedly has deep-pocket folks involved in their endeavor (over and beyond VC et al.), yet are seeking ICO funding. Same was true with BFL, albeit in hindsight thanks to my investigation, they were still selling pre-orders under the auspices that they needed the money so to build the damn in-two-weeks miners, all the while sitting on millions of dollars worth of bitcoins proven by the blockchain. Prior to shit hitting the fan, Sonny was liquidating millions through BitPay acting as an exchange, of which they are not - just a third-party payment provided. Again, all verified via the blockchain. No apologies for the digression in driving the point home.

Personally, I kept my nose outta Qtum's affairs here, in fact seeing no nefarious activities, even giving my blessing to those who privately sought my advice. Now, it's I that seems to have egg on my face for vouching for them. To them, I humbling apologize (5 or 6 folks, in case anybody's wondering).

Thank you again for your alert attention.

The Gleb Foundation

I'm of the opinion that Bitcointalk is "controlled opposition" by a government agency. I'm not alone on that opinion. I think they try to destroy devs, altcoins, and position their own projects at the top.

People can try to discredit me for saying this... but there is a lot of anecdotal evidence. Theymos knew I messaged him, mprep bragged about it so they clearly spoke about it. He said none of the mods/staff liked BitHalo. Its the only software in the world that does smart contracts in Bitcoin and they don't like it?? I wonder why... because it removes middle men perhaps?! It obviates courts, makes unbreakable contracts and stops theft by using double deposit escrow. 2 party escrow 4 years and still going. Not vaporware. Unlike most projects.... :|

Speaking of Theymos...
He works for a senate office. Small world. His dox was removed... he loves banning people who dox him but won't ban people who dox others.

He will not stop for a second to violate your privacy too by the way. You can look at the time he supplied courts with PMs.

This forum is like 4chan. Thats why I only post in BitBays or Blackcoin thread most of the time. Realize everyone I may stop responding to comments here. So if you have a direct question for me please PM. I'm really busy working on an updated build. I don't want to waste a single second more of my life on guys like Dai.

I can't cure the evil in the hearts of men only purify my own heart. Take out of that what you will.

David. You/we/us, dont stand a chance half the time, as far as attitude and integrity of BCT management is concerned. This place just aint safe, when members of the BCT payroll have conversations with Bobsurplus and openly profess.... "You have my support"
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.12326805

Oh wait, did i say 'members of the BCT payroll'? What i meant was, members who were on the payroll, but recently taken off the payroll.....because of extortion/mob-rule/blackmail.

As far as money related things go, on this forum, the above hopefully highlights what a massive disadvantage our risk/reward profiles have, when the likes of Bobsurplus and staff here, get on so fabulously. Sometimes i wonder if the kids running this place, actually get off, on the dramas their naive attitude/stance/ethos creates.  


BTW, David. Dont take it too personally that Theymos doesnt reply to you. Apparently, some of the staff here are getting pissed off with Theymos for not replying to their enquiries/questions, and just generally going MIA for extended periods of time.  

THE BEST SCAM HUNTER ON THIS BOARD PERIOD.

I believe qtum team should clarify this situation before anything. Also the fact that all this drama has shown up in such a critical moment is very relevant and will make lots of investors to abandon their idea of investing in the project.
Taking together the facts that Dai is being accused of various past scams and that the only 51% of coins are being sold in the ICO, the team should either remove him from the equation or lower founders coin% by not giving any to Dai.
And those who support this project as it is right now, despite being an innovative one, are either lunatic or know more than the average investor.
Not to mention that I read most of slacks chat today and Pateick was just really really bad at argumenting and defending himself. David Zimbeck was also not very clear and his speech was confusing me. Nevertheless Dai does not seem free of guilt at all.
Just my opinion.

Thanks for sharing that David and sorry you had to go through that. I definitely will not be investing in Qtum anymore.

Also, it's weird enough that people from Asia think that Western names are easier for people to communicate with, it's about as disingenuous as you can get, but next to that, why would you have a reason to use multiple different Western names? That makes it even more fishy imo.

This project is shady as hell! The only people who are defending it are so involved they can't get out of it! Invest in the ICO & watch your founders dump their free QTUM on you.

I will not invest a penny in this project, because I am afraid the dishonest Patrick Dai will dump Qtum to investors, and run away with ICO fund, it is dangerous and red alert now, if some naive investors still invest it, losing money is your fault.

There has been a lot of drama lately here. I just read a long accusation but didn't seem to amount to anything but noise. Crypto keeps things interesting thats for sure.

It's ok, guys. Past is past. Past behavior does not guarantee future behavior. Besides, (Insert Name) Dai is just a co-founder. He's not "the founder". I'm sure the whole team will monitor his actions and it seems they are in control.

They need your money to build "the coin of the future." Please donate all you can to realize this utopian dream.  

I think Qtum must ask some third party to investigate in Dai's matter instead of themselves conducting investigation and giving him clean chit.

Let me be very specific here. And you investors make up your mind from there. This will elaborate on my somewhat emotional conversation on Slack. My hands were literally shaking from emotion as it brings back very painful memories. I'm not afraid to confront it again though.

The point being he got 10% of BitBay for free that was sold on us. He got 191 BTC minus the 20 he put in the dev fund.

The dev fund was 100 btc. There was 5 members so you divide that by 5. Thats 20 each.

This deducts it to 171.

Steven did release the 2nd key to that multisig. It was a dev fund it wasn't Stevens money other than 20 btc.
https://blockchain.info/tx/7b1c9d0e062bdb61dd0565a98a1136c028c2b5bc05a0fa859aac2dde3d22d6ce?show_adv=false

Bob and Gekko stole some of it so that lowered it down from 100 to roughly 50-60. I would have to check year old Skype logs to know exactly what Steven said they took.

Steven told me via Skype that him and Lin from BTER would raise it to over 100 but they never did. Instead he just gives me the 2nd key
to the multisig (you know its multisig BitHalo because it starts with a "3").

So if Steven/Lin added anything to that it was less than 16 btc. Since Bob and Gekko got 1/2 of the dev fund.

So that means Steven got 155-171 BTC and 10% of BitBay which he got for free. Steven Dai will not be wise to deny those numbers.
Then he admits much later that him and Lin bought some at the bottom so potentially Steven had 20%.

Dai will not deny this as he knows we can produce more chat logs and he himself can probably give you txids of his wallets. Ask him yourself.

He then proceeded to sell all of that on BitBays head while I stayed and built this project. He got free coins and didn't stay to help build this. Him leaving in 2015 is immediate. He started BitBay in November 11th 2014 so thats only a couple months. Our statement stands. By his own admission, he did in fact abandon this project with investors money and did no work in return for it.

If anyone thinks that is okay then that is very sad indeed.

If Dai wants to say he and Lin did not sell all their BitBay all he has to do is send .001 BitBay from each account he holds to prove how much he has left. Of course that will never happen. He rambled on slack about "Giving it to BTER" whatever that means. It went to the inky void I guess.

Why did I say "Steven is a nice guy" after the ICO went south? I was not happy with him at all. Lets make this clear. But I do try to be professional. Because everyone in BitBay was told by Steven himself he would not leave the project which turned out to be a lie. I have skype logs of me trying to contact him for years. Google voice logs of me trying to call him to no avail. After repeatedly pestering him he gave 500 dollars. He said he would do so every month. That also turned out to be a lie. I sent him messages monthly and private emails and phone calls which all got ignored after that. Dai may also claim he paid for a website and this is true as well. Our team did try to get him to participate it was extremely hard and was more work than its worth.

Dai raised the point that Elmer asked for a settlement. That is Elmers business, not ours. He got seriously effected since he flew to China and met Gekko and Dai and Lin in person and lost over 100 bitcoins. I personally have no interest in Dai's money. All I wanted was his time and energy to honor his word to investors.

Most importantly, this is the skype log where Dai pumps the coin with his own money

Then he gets it all back with a refund from Lin(BTER). Lins exchange later gets "hacked" for millions of dollars in their cold wallet. They gave Bobsurplus 500 BTC before the project even finished funding which is extremely crazy. There is a txid for that. Bob claims he "did marketing" for that. Instead he FUDs his own project from Bays launch since it was a character assassination. The project was set up to crush me, it was a hit job. They chose the "Baywest" toilet paper logo for the BitBay logo. Something Gekko and Bob were proud of. None of their financials were made aware to me until I saw the ICO funding. I was the one to blow the lid open on it. Bob/Robert Duskes/International Rob was counting on that, used fake profiles to shill me the second the ICO started, Barabbas is Iconicexpert and Bobs shill profile(tons of evidence they use this to shill on the internet on reddit and other forums this was already exposed), and you can get clear evidence of shilling by looking up "Diabolic" for example on bitcointalk which Gekko/Ryan Wright created for the sole purpose of attacking me.

Bob starts a "Zimbeck is a scammer" thread to divert attention. No actual accusation was made by the way, its just a dump of chat logs proving i knew him. Guilty by association. And to be honest gets me upset that Bitcointalk mods did nothing about it. Mprep seemed to be partial to Bob in private convos which makes me lose a lot of respect for this forum. Theymos never even responded to a single message despite me trying at his emails, reddit and BCT. Because of the chat log spam it ranked high on Google. Bitcointalk lets anyone post an accusation and these propagandists counted on it.

To make matters worse they had been using me as a fall guy from the day the ICO ended and you can see evidence of this. Kronengburg broke under pressure and admitted to being paid to harm my rep. You can look at his comment history if you like.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/kronenberg-377396

Steven was just a liaison for Bobsurplus and Gekko. I didn't know who Bob was until a few days before ICO. They needed my name for the destruction of my reputation and profit off the years of hard work I put into Halo.

They all worked together on BitSwift as Paul from BitSwift will confirm. Its really old news. I made the mistake of claiming Steven was involved in Ghostcoin and that was a rumor I had heard a long time ago which i realize can't be backed up. However I do think Steven will even admit himself working on BitSwift and Paul can back up my claims and I doubt Steve will deny this. BitSwift was a Bobsurplus thing and that is not good news. Paul tried to warn me after ICO but by that time it was too late.

A bit of info on bobsurplus and what he did to BitBay:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bobsurplus-is-full-of-shit-891356

We don't want to relive the past. Just be aware this is the guy running Qtum. It saddens us that Qtum is going forward with an ICO despite all this. We won't "fud" Qtum. We simply tried to prevent further damage Dai might cause by enriching himself with investors funds as he did with us. Anything beyond this you should direct your questions to Patrick Dai.

We will issue our condolences to the Qtum team as well and any conflict of interest developers may face working for him. Just take a very long pause to think about what is being said here and decide if you are okay with taking investors money and letting Dai manage it knowing what you know now. We personally think ICO is a bad idea. If Dai already got a million, why not prove his concept first and not even hold an ICO? If he releases a working project then move forward. Just run it on testnet until its done? But thats probably wishful thinking... there is no justice in crypto it seems. Can you prove he will not get free coins in Qtum? Can you prove he doesn't have a deal with private investors for them to get free stake or refunds from the ICO funding? The same modus operandi was used on us in BitBay and that you can prove beyond the shadow of any doubt.

BitBay has moved beyond what they have done, through all the adversity. I'm going to finish this project even if it kills me. Even if i don't make a dime off it. I've worked 2 years since ICO and will work 10 more for free if I have to. We don't want your money, angel investment, nothing. We are not interested in riding your marketing. This will be my last comment on the subject. My full time job is coding, not social media management.

Do as you wish with what you know now.

This covers the governance model of the Qtum Foundation

Thanks Qtum Foundation. I still believe this should be the top project of 2017. Glad to see there is a good governance plan in place. I wish other projects would adopt a similar governance model.

On behalf of the Qtum Foundation:

WOW, another name: Johnson Dai? ROFLMAO, so we can dig more about this Johnson Dai's dirty history now? Ironically, Roger Ver seems nothing loss because he owns more than 100k btc.
