Topic: BitBlender EXIT SCAM LIKELY (Read 696 times)

Blender moved my remaining coin today early in the morning. Here are the TXID's

Original TX from the 28th:

Follow it and you'll see it was mixed using Blender's addresses.

Throw the addy in at bitcoin who's who and check the scam list. There were a few sites that had that address as a muliply your coin deposit.

Onward, what is weird to me is this is the coin that was deposited on 5/28/19 On the main service thread a bloke stated 2.99 and change was deposited and he highly doubted it would ever be moved. Something about LE making the deposit possibly to bait Blender? Still very odd that out of the 13 and chage remaining that I have been watching in Electrum those were the only coin moved.

Where did you check?
I think anyone can add an adress to a "scam" list, doesn't necessarily mean that it's valid.

Could also be that HYIP sites simply add this adress to their site to "prove" that they have lots of incoming transactions.

Curious though, it's been reported fraudulent multiple times. It's been used on several multiply sites. I just checked a few of them and it is definitely there.

Nope, that's a binance adress. I've discovered it through the above site, but it has also been publicly stated by binance that that adress belongs to them. (Which is probably how i found it in the first place.)

See https://twitter.com/binance
Sending such large amounts to binance probably means he has verified his account there, does it not?

I just checked and 1NDyJtNTjmwk5xPNhjgAMu4HDHigtobu1s has been reported multiple times as a scam address @ bitcoin whos who

Either blender is still mixing for this address or it is owned by BitBlender.

The plot thickens 

It got send to an exchange i'm pretty sure.

Then it got send to -> 1ebb9a2a3368232de4a1df85c186df9597ddf436bef5e71f1123989fe48155b9 -> 1NDyJtNTjmwk5xPNhjgAMu4HDHigtobu1s
WHICH BELONGS TO BINANCE (?).............

You're great at weaving tales, even if they ultimately end up making you look bad and get you extra negative trust:

http://archive.fo/UMCji#selection-489.97-489.141

You tried to bribe me with Dogecoin to remove your negative trust, I refused, and now you're exacting your revenge I suppose? Try restoring your karma by giving your customers back their coins first, then we'll talk.

1. Nutildah isn’t BitBlender’s staff.
2. BitBlender is gone. They exit scammer, but they appeared to have good intentions before (they were one of the oldest mixers after all). What does this have to do with nutildah? Idk.
3. You got scammed because he neg trusted you? Wut?

I got scammed by a Bitblender staff named nutildah that put a negative trust on me, when i complain to Bitblender they told me it was my fault and then my message got deleted from the forum, so i am sorry for those who loss their coins on Bitblender i try to warn you before

Blender moved 2.99987256 today 7/16/19 to these addresses:

3K3PtgiXUvrAfUpY2vxvXaqN1bMTkv5LWA
34n3F3QuysXBEwkKZ5G7b11R5TXcRWsEmy

I will hunt him for as long as I have to and I will get my Bitcoin back one way or another. 

BitBlender is (was) a mixer. Send BTC, receive BTC.

There is no bank or fiat involved here.

Do you have their bank account details?

Hhampuz got back to me and unfortunately has no way to get in contact with Blender. I do hope everyone interested in the situation follows the addresses I posted. I also didn't mean to sound/come off like a jerk in any way. Losing this amount has been stressful and I can only keep my fingers crossed that Blender will eventually resurface at a later date, though I am not holding my breath.

You have completed your responsibility by letting us know about that and honestly bitblender's recent activity doesn't smells good atleast.

My support submission done on the flag and expecting more there.   

TBH I don't personally doubt you!  My question didn't really fit in your thread, it was meant as much more of a meta questions which suchmoon had posted already (in the right spot) and I hadn't seen yet.  I'll take the conversation to the right thread now.

What is the standard of evidence? I can try to post what I know is 'true' which I have been watching/dealing with today.

I've been attempting to find anyone that can contact Blender. I sent a PM to Hhampuz because it appears he may have the ability to contact the service outside of the now defunct .onion support page. (This was a few hours ago so I am waiting for a reply)

Here is the TXID and two address where my coin was moved today 6-13:

5c5c6348e93f70ab9d2e8138ca00251d182b57567b0d8ab0a67bf115abb8cf55

bc1q4xghsyec6a75e00w3fc5tkdhy97mche4fqsym7  0.71927023

(As I previously stated I lost over a few thousand Euro) https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=436467.new#new

These are the two addresses that received over 10.54369583 Bitcoin today 6-13:

bc1q4xghsyec6a75e00w3fc5tkdhy97mche4fqsym7

bc1qny6dwae6m8p2ezhcph3h8e60wt86telrwg4wtd

So thinking about the service 1-3% fee why would that much Bitcoin be moved to those two addresses roughly two weeks after the site went down? If you export those address into Electrum, there is no way Blender made that much in fees a week after the service closed. Especially the larger transactions, 4 Bitcoin, 2 Bitcoin, etc. (That is where it makes this seem like an exit scam) You can see a bunch of small 'fee' transactions, but obviously the larger amounts belong to a former user of the BitBlender service.

In addition, I have an 'acquaintance' that was using BitBlender as a wallet. I know  

Blender is still moving deposits made well after the service said it was shutting down. This is the information that was given to me after I watched my coin withdrawn from him.

There was a deposit made on 6-9 to this address:

3JNpdU5dD1PC94NvppAo1yfM75qWbDqAa3  0.05

On 6-13 this deposit was withdrawn to these two addresses in this TXID:

d9c83d4dbe8a7edcb8015924b0640ea8dc4ca201c7ca1d0ca7289ff7c30b3df0

bc1q6hm75c4ukt3x0p4cc2rcg5k8vk6yh3e04ue5jl  0.02774847

bc1q4xghsyec6a75e00w3fc5tkdhy97mche4fqsym7  0.02204822

If this isn't an exit scam why is Blender still moving coin that was deposited well after the service was 'supposed' to be shut down? If this isn't an exit scam why were users given a couple days to withdraw with no backup plan for people that had no idea it was shutting down? I can't imagine that with LE hot on a mixing services trail and knowing many of the addresses used by that service that continuing to move any coin would be good opsec if you as the owner of said business had concerns. All I am stating is something is definitely not right here and hopefully this proves it.

TBPH, I sincerely hope this isn't an exit scam and that one way or another someone can contact Blender which will give me the ability to email/message my PGP ownership so I can retrieve what is rightfully mine. That is truthfully all I care about because the service is clearly offline for good though still moving Bitcoin.

I asked the same question in the flag thread: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.51457666

This is quite important seeing what happened to the cat.

What is the standard of evidence required to prove you're a victim and should be allowed?

Do we just take an OP's word for it?  Cause no one will ever lie on BTCT /s

I'm not trying to trash this OP I believe he lost money but since the new system requires proof of contract violation what counts as proof you're a victim and therefor have a legal claim as a victim?

I have supported your flag, and I am true sorry to hear about your loss 
They should have given people more time withdraw their money. It's not like they had already been seized or something

Correct link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;flag=78

Sorry for your loss , tough lessons to learn.

Thanks for your help mate, it's much appreciated. I can only hope Blender is waiting until heat blows over and logs here again. Regardless, running like that without at least moving to a new .onion address or something comparable leans me toward exit scam. I'm at a 0.67 loss as of now.

Darkstar opened a different flag (newbie flag). The flag made by OP is a scammer flag.

Seems they have already red flag by Darkstar_ and I support it as well. This wasn't wise decision closed website before withdrawal all of user fund. Their given time wasn't enough in my opinions. Sorry for them who have lost their fund with them. We are able to leave feedback and raise red flags only.

Got it and supported already.

Looks good, well done! I have added support.

Hopefully I did this correctly

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=229601;page=iflags

Follow those steps to open a scammer flag to make more people aware.

I apologize for being 'New' but my issue is I have lost a lot of coin on three days notice. All of my coin was moved to these two address within the last hour give or take.

bc1q4xghsyec6a75e00w3fc5tkdhy97mche4fqsym7

bc1qny6dwae6m8p2ezhcph3h8e60wt86telrwg4wtd

If Blender is lurking, the service should log here and contact those that are owed. No one has perfect opsec and if LE was after the service I would think not stealing from former customers would be a priority to maintain further protection and good standing in the community.

The flag they have created is option 1, which only results in a newbie warning. The creator of the topic you mentioned can't make a scammer flag because he didn't suffer any damages. The OP of this thread claims to have lost money, therefor he is allowed to create a scammer flag (resulting in a proper warning signal for other users).

This thread is already there: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/blender-ran-off-with-users-funds-after-shutting-down-5153756

And the flag is already there: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;flag=72

If you lost money you can add a scammer flag (use the third option): https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;addflag=229601

Post a link to the flag here so people can support it.

We were given 3 days warning to withdraw. I had a few thousand Euro in my account. I was watching my withdraw addresses in Electrum. Today all of remaining coin was withdrawn. Blender seemed very professional before BestMixer was taken down. Now, I feel like the service left and didn't care whether people lost coin or not. This is seeming more and more like an exit scam.
