There are no updates to post.

It would basically be saying.

"Yep, Bank still has our funds."


"Still waiting on the bank."

...

Etc.

Of course there are updates to post. The last update from Bitspend was this, posted one month ago, which claimed paid orders would be processed the following week. That never happened. You don't think we deserve an update explaining why this never happened, and more importantly, what the current situation is? All we know is that their funds were allegedly frozen by Chase. And of that claim, we were presented no proof by Bitspend. There absolutely are updates that should be posted by Bitspend. You have so far said some reasonable things (we shouldn't start a witch-hunt, we shouldn't be too quick to draw conclusions, etc.), but to say that we are not owed an explanation is ridiculous.

So why is there not a real reaction to this scam? Were not many people scammed? Or do people have disposable coins and don't care that they were scammed?

No, it's the fact that what you're doing is absolutely disgusting. Bitspend had their accounts shut down, it's too early to draw conclusions, yet you're publicizing all of the owner's personal information and putting him at risk.
He deserves everything bad that comes to him. It IS a scam.

If your bank account was shut down and you were working to fix the situation and you were the guys running BitSpend, would you appreciate some aggressive customer with disgusting practices trying to tear you to shreds?

If you're out of hundreds of dollars and you were waiting for the situation to be fixed and you were a customer of Bitspend, would you appreciate some negligent business with disgusting practices trying to steal your money?

It might be because it's too early to tell. Even a lawyer may tell you to wait a month or so more.

You ought to take action, and solve the mystery for everyone else while you're at it.

I suppose so. I just fear that they might be legitimate people who made stupid mistakes, and some angry person will threaten them/their family/children, since they know where they live. What if one of the people who lost money on bitspend are prepared to murder from their anger?

It's just not safe to release that to a tank of piranhas.

But what do I care. I just hope someone can actually do something rather than threaten to sue and blah blah, and finally get this sorted out.

BitSpend did me many favors (Very kindly refunded products because of their error and such) and I hope they're not assholes that are headed to jail.

If anyone's wondering why he reposted it, it's because Pastebin removed his previous paste due to - you guessed it or not - terms of use violations.

This information is for you and for your lawyers and whatnot, not for the public.

Threatening to sue is going to do nothing, and I am doubtful anyone is going to do it for you. So just go ahead and do it, although realize that it ain't cheap.

I can go check out the BitSpend offices. But I need someone's help. Since I'm still a student, I don't have a car to go on my own.

If I receive a donation of 0.1 BTC or more to 1recatirpHBjR9sxgabB3RDtM6TgntYUW , I can go get it cashed out and go visit the office, and provide all the information I can gather. (In photos/videos)

Why trust me? Well...It's only 0.1 BTC, afterall. Tongue

I had a shipping from Amazon->Bitspend->Me and they did email me that the item had arrived to Bitspend warehouse and they would be shipping it to me the next day. Well, they announced their problems just after that and I never got my items. I emailed them and got an answer, something like "Sorry, did we already reship your item to you?".. I answered and now it's been over a month and nothing happened.
My order was marked as paid & ordered weeks before they shut down. I think its obvious they were planning to scam, and they are holding onto all the items

Releasing their private information does not prevent people from being "scammed". The website has now been disabled to make it impossible to place new orders. So you simply can not be "scammed" anymore. The releasing of that address does not help the situation at all.

In fact, By releasing that address, all you are doing is putting the individual and his family in danger of violence from angry and maybe even irrational past customers, as well as invading his privacy in a manner can be considered unlawful.

That's just not civil.

Bingo

I did not disclose that address. Whether or not it is correct, I believe it is against forum rules to disclose personal information in public.
