I tend to agree, the damage done is also towards other coin manufacturers, trust is essential for Physical Bitcoins.
Of course people who got coins stolen have been damaged too, I didn't buy any luckily but I would be enraged if I had.
What a clusterfuck!



Couldn't agree more. This certainly would have impacted a good proportion of buyers and collectors; some may never be willing to trust a new manufacturer again. You have to put a lot of trust that coin makers will not rip you off, be it now or 5 years down the line. This will stop a percentage of new blood from entering this niche market. It takes a certain kind of asshole to do what Mark Hamilton has done though.

Wow, what an absolute scumbag. I haven't been following this thread and decided to catch up with it.. Let me firstly state I have lost nothing, as I purchased nothing. Sorry for you guys that got conned Sad

This is blatant, outright theft. First the order scamming, and then on top of this he goes and raids whatever funded coins there are in existence Shocked
Meaning that he kept EVERY SINGLE PRIVATE KEY that was created.. Shocked
Doing what you have done to your customers gives physical coin producers a bad name Coinographic. Absolutely disgusting behaviour, and certainly not something you should be able to get away with. Karma will catch up with you.

Low blow that.

Sounds like I need to check the coins I have then.

Back in the original saga, I never did find out if anything ever happened .... I seem to remeber Saigon had a large claim on Coinographic, and didnt look like letting it go quietly

You do not have to check the coin that I bought from you is empty now.

I guess that all coins are empty, see transfers over 12696 LTC

so he stole 12,696 LTC?

That is almost $60k

and then stole the 25LTC from my Bull coin on May 26th.

Confirmed that all 4 of my 4 LTC coins had their funds recently stolen on May 24:

25 LTC - http://explorer.litecoin.net/address/LPbQFibg6VySZRc2TeFijV3H1NWpoL5KFn
10 LTC Chickun - http://explorer.litecoin.net/address/LRA4QHRq6LEpzh73dNCNfFRiW2z5c4PmBq
10 LTC Foundation - http://explorer.litecoin.net/address/LeyAD2P2SeDmdRckGzWGqAbzASAoRN6f4c
1 LTC - http://explorer.litecoin.net/address/LLK4mLHG2zJ3yqaRfkFxyUu3fSbQohPF6X

I knew of the risks, but didn't want to destroy the holos, so I left the coins intact. 

This is in addition to the 1B and 2B coins I paid for and never received. 

Thanks Mark. 

Same here.....didn't want to mess with the precious hologram.  In retrospect, that wasn't very smart.  I even could have made a new address with the extra stickers that were included.

You figuring all transactions made to this wallet are part of coins being swept ?

Not able to check my coins yet .... has anyone else checked and found that they do in fact still have funded coins ?

That is just disgraceful.
I was quite involved when the whole scam took place and I actually spoke to their CEO (Mark) at the time. His reason for closure, for not funding coins and for not fulfilling orders was due to a lot of accumulated debt. As a result he filed for bankruptcy. Although that whole episode was extremely shady, he had some legal protection as a limited company. However, this is just pure theft and a blatant crime.

Cross posting these quotes so that everybody, who was involved with Coinographic, knows about it. If you have a Coinographic coin, be sure to check your balance!


I just checked my Coinographic coin and it was loaded until 2016-05-24. They emptied the coin a week ago, which means that they kept the private keys. I'm not surprised though.


Woah.
You paid for the funded one, right?
I bought this coin from ErikVanBreen on 09-07-2015 (dd-mm-yyyy) at which point it was already known that Coinographic turned into a scam. The coin was loaded at that point in time, so yes, I did pay for a funded coin. It seems that the guy behind Coinographic desperately needs money, why else would he steal something as little as 1LTC.


He probably swept all the LTC keys at once, so it wasn't about 1 LTC for him.
But still, what an asshole. :/

I have a couple of funded Lealanas, but I'm sure smoothie wouldn't do something like this. Smiley
Confirmed. Coinographic emptied at least 21 coins: http://ltc.blockr.io/tx/info/5e05007cb26ae85ef6091868b2a0d4625224c2899f387015433b0ade3620aa42.

21 * 4,72 = 99.12$ at the current market price, which is not a lot.

UPDATE ON COINOGRAPHIC LEGAL PROCEEDINGS BY SAIGONED:

Update:

Claim History

Your claim was issued on 16/02/2015
You submitted a judgment against Mr Mark Hamilton on 10/03/2015 at 03:08:25
Your judgment against Mr Mark Hamilton was issued on 11/03/2015 at 19:19:12
You can issue a Warrant of Execution against Mr Mark Hamilton on 14/04/2015 at 14.00.00. Grin

I will be issuing a warrant of execution this week - that will enable baliffs to enter his home, a County Court Judgement will also be applied against his credit rating.

I will be reporting this as fraud to the police once the court procedures are completed. I have evidence that our funds were not spent on manufacturing and business costs, rather Mark purchased thousands and thousands of dollars worth of Litecoin Gear shares in Oct/Nov/Dec and obviously we know what happened there. I have details of all of these transactions:)

So the funds were misappropriated, if you wish to be involved in criminal charges against Mark - please PM me. Fraud has been committed and I now have evidence.
