As I hope Nine Lives is successful in his search, just want to let the fellow people who've been screwed know the following, I have lost big in this scam, but luckily have already made it all back again thanks to explosion in BTC value over the past week. With the recent uncover of information on the Identity of who started this scam, Ive employed a very well know International Private Investigations contractor, given them a few good leads on the location of the suspect Mr. Noi (will refer to him as such for personal legal reasons). They have been instructed to follow and remain unknown, when they locate Mr.Noi. I have also contacted a good friend of mine who is what you could say involved in some gray areas. He will be transporting Mr. Noi once found, to my old friends tribal reserve located in in asia, where upon my contacts request he will be put on trial in front of the village elders for theft of Money directly tied to the tribe, as this will be covered in my direct donation. It will then be up to the tribe to decide his fate. All this of course will be legal as in the territory I speak of they are granted personal right to deal with law breakers as they see fit. Fuck you, Sam Noi. Will see you sooner than you think
I'm not happy to post on this thread, but i feel obligated now
I would seriously, very seriously recommend you not to do this. Regardless of the fact that money has been lost, kidnapping and possible torture should be absolutely out of the question. That would only sink the perpetrator and anyone advocating for that to an ever lower level than the original perpetrator himself. This is a human being, all actions should and must be done according to the law. Taking the law into your own hands just makes you even more of a lowlife than Sam. Why would you want to sink yourself to the same or even a lower lever, moral highground must be kept at all times in this case.
Also be aware that if you travel to another country even just to try to find this person without involving, and completely handing over the case to local authorities, you are very likely to face charges of international espionage and even terrorism, in which case your lost btc will be the LEAST of your problems.
Again, i would SERIOUSLY recommend you DO NOT DO THIS.
Just let the water flow under the bridge for some time, one never knows what fate has in store for any of us, or Sam/Fabrizio/Whatever
