I expose scammers for free  Grin.

Seriously though scammers would just scam people then report those accounts and get a bounty on top of the scam, not the best of idea in my opinion.  Cheesy

I'll give you 50% of ~2500 BTC if you get him and the 2500 BTC together with him Tongue

Sounds like an excellent deal.

I'm sure if I just go over to his casa and say "ey, hombre, gimme suma dat bitcoinz" he will oblige.

OP

Read the pirateat40 / Trendon Shavers thread.

That guy stole over $5M USD (at the time) from a LOT of people.

Everyone know EVERYTHING about him but no one when after him.

He's still living (probably very comfortably off the rising bitcoin price) in McKinney Texas.



What?  *pounds fist*  I'm on it.

I'll need some gas money though.  I'm about an hour away Tongue

 No offense OP but this post seems as if no brain activity went into it. So much red tape is involved with collections. And the extent of that tape comes in variety.

In the state I reside in.  An agency cannot hunt you down.  They can't call your job or friends or family.  Unless ofcourse any of that infomation is given at the time they are put to work by the lender/victum.  Also they have to identify themselves.They cannot trick you into identifying yoursekf or even give the impression they are some long lost bff trying to connect.

Of course you are talking more the fixxer role. Bust some knees for BTC.  Yeah no.  I don't think any legal systen is going to favor someone on trial for severely beating someone or killing them over digital currency.

I am a little late to the party here, but this sounds like something I'd enjoy doing for free.

Stop undercutting my prices.  Angry

I'm willing to pay to be a bounty hunter. Nobody will undercut my price.

There already IS a reputation system.
Go to http://bitcoin-otc.com/ and look at the link for Circle of Trust.

Wow I didn't know we knew where he lived. Can I get a link to all the info about him?
The only thing is that forum, reddit/4chan the like have their moments but also get thing completely wrong and fuck people lives up. You would have to be certain if you were to take matters into your own hands.

Not until you turn 15.

Had to look that up:

"a form of punishment meted out to sailors at sea. The sailor was tied to a line that looped beneath the vessel, thrown overboard on one side of the ship, and dragged under the ship's keel, either from one side of the ship to the other, or the length of the ship (from bow to stern)."

Pirate at 40 was a disgrace to true pirates (and parrotheads) everywhere. I'd keelhaul him if I ran upon him in Texas.

the best thing is treat bitcoin like paper money. what would you do if a stranger you never met offered to sell you something.
just because it's bitcoin doesnt mean you can't do due diligence first.

Exactly the way I see it

What's the point of having a reputation system when people can just buy a reputable account for $3.50 and use it to scam people with a fake 4th of july bitcoin giveaway  Roll Eyes

To have a successful reputation system in any community, you need to know if people are who they say they are.

I'm surprised we don't have a place where there are bounties placed on Bitcoin scammers like a marketplace of people who are close ( localbitcoins of scammer hunting lol  )  to the perpetrators can hunt them down .  All I know is I'm sick of hearing about people being scammed out of bitcoins etc., etc., ....

That's actually a good idea. If someone stole 10 BTC from me, would make sense to perhaps offer 1 BTC for their personal information so you have a chance to recover your coins.
