If we don't see any movement toward restitution very soon, we need to send the domain registration info to the authorities in Hong Kong.

Yep,

could be fake or carded, but with everyone's input here it seems there are a couple of leads that indicate Hong Kong having a good chance of being the actual location of the admin.

Whois details of BTC-arbs.com indicate the registrant being a woman from HK
Someone earlier mentioned that they transferred fiat to 1 bank account in Hong Kong
When BTC-ARBS posted here, he mentioned that his daughter was phoned and harassed (and ironically the site's registrant is someone named Jennifer Hungshi i.e. possibly the telephone no. from the whois was used?)
Lastly (and not so important) the site was hosted in Malaysia which could be a non-factor however gives credence to the theory that they could be from Asia.

Just my 2 cents.

Guys,

Don't know if anyone mentioned this, but the whois on btc-arbs.com has changed from being protected by WhoisGuard to the actual registrant's name who appears to be from Hong Kong. You can check it out at whois.domaintools.com/btc-arbs.com

Thank me later.

It could be fake. It could be carded. However, it is a lead. Hopefully they only treat it as such.

Still no sign of any repayment.

I'd really like to know what the former admin's plan of attack for repayment is going to be. So far, all we have is a post trying to calm the natives and there's been no action taken yet to make anyone whole, apparently.

It is possible he is just trying to buy time.

I don't believe any of it, other than the admin being a frightened new admin to the industry I imagine. This will be interesting to watch.

So you have changed your tune.

This site is a HYIP, run by a known repeat admin, nothing more. Don't waste your time discussing the possible legitimacy of the program. The admin is simply looking to take advantage of a new HYIP community in the bitcoin world which has already been done successfully by some scammy admin types like the former Leancy.com

Btc-arbs is nothing but the same, play it as an HYIP and get your money out while you can as its highly unlikely to become one of the better HYIP's.

I guess the admin hasn't been the only one lying. Roll Eyes

At least you were correct about btc-arbs shutting down before long.

The post definitely sounds like him...so I am inclined to believe it actually is him.

That said, no...I haven't seen a single Satoshi yet and if we go back to the .03 BTC/day payback program, I'm not going to be real impressed.

We do not even know if this guy really is the admin. Has anybody received any portion of payment? If it is him it took someone threatening his kids in order for him to say he is going to try and pay us back. So if we didnt find him he was going to just leave with what coins he has left? Who ever found out the info on him needs to spread it to us and to the authorities. He was responsible for all of our money therefore until it is all returned he has stolen it form us.

THIS IS THE CONTENTS OF MY PM TO BTC-ARBS FOR THE RECORDS :

I had a bit more than .69 at my peak, i withdrew .4 (from your 'legacy' transfers) before you shut down, i supported your site quite hard in the threads, i sent a lot of (now very angry) friends there as well.. I was able to make daily deposits because of a combined purchasing agreement with members as well for miners, my investment was $2800 for the equipment and with the climbing difficulties i was looking for the best return on investment for my shares.. I am not interested in threatening you, I would only like .65 sent to my address provided. You are not a difficult person to find; your apology is accepted and after the payment, we have no business... Unless you put together a real outfit.

.65 to

Thanks for showing up. I think the true is more credible than that the site was bought by "capital global alliance". That is what made the people to withdraw all the btc, the lie. Also that the fact that the site was DDOS at first place and you didn't report it to the users. People always suspected this was a ponzi scheme so at first sign of scam they started withdrawing the money. The lack of communication through email is also a factor of suspicion. I think you should pay the remaining btc you have to the ones they ask. The payment should be proportionally of the money people invested on the site. For me is Ok to get whatever you have without including interest. It would be nice if you can report the proportion of money stolen or the proportion of money you can payback. I think if you start again with the true and good communication people may trust again in you and reinvest and even wait for the full repayment of the debth. A better transparency of your side regarding how you really run the business, who you are, where you are, how you do it would give us more trust.

someone should be watching in their 'hedge' Wink

Moral of the story; do not steal what is others, and do onto others as you would have them do onto you. Justice shall prevail.

The Whole Story - From BTC-Arbs ADMIN
...

BTC Arbs is NOT a scam. It was a failed investment that is now trying to make good on past promises.

Why didn't you just tell users what was really going on instead of concocting some story about btc-arbs being sold and an audit was being done by the new company. Why should people believe you now when you blatantly lied to everyone then?

1) It's an HYIP scam
2) End goal of any HYIP admin is to take the money and run
3) Almost all get away with it.
4) This one got caught (or claims to in order to shut up some people and buy a little more time).
5) Anyone getting caught will cry like a baby, but have no doubt they would have happily taken your money with their middle finger in the air and a big smile on their face if they could.

Pretty darn good sleuthing if this all pans out to be true. I'd love to see the same thing happen to oilrigcontractors. They ripped off big time in just 30+ days. Someone should set up an HYIP SWAT team business. This is great!
