We must be aware that behind these people; Vernon, Horus alias JohnMcPherson,Bit John there is a monstrous organization that surpasses any imagination.
Because what I do not understand why so many wallets have stopped the syncs almost simultaneously with the birth of Cryptsy problems.
Then comes a spontaneous question, is not that the brains of Cryptsy have created their own coins (including those who are now dead)?
lol, almost all coins listed at the exchange cryptsy, Cryptsy was somehow involved.
It was one scamming network of
1. Copy coin cloners (Mullick, igotspots, defaced, shakezulu, muddafuddah, 3rwt, (also JohnJoule (XJO), Max Guevarra (Quark), Giskard (Zetacoin), 8bitcoder (myriad), Willow Rosenberg (UNO) etcetc for each coin he cloned he had another name at bitcointalk).
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.6767469(Read more of IgotAids posts, he seemed to have a good detailed overview how cryptsy worked/scammed).
2. Scammers/FUDers for example:
- Kolin Evans/Digitalindustry
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/digitalindustry-aka-kolin-evans-busted-on-planning-a-scam-781954, he was heavily involved in scamming BottleCaps, a coin created by shakezulu.
- Spoetnik
- Forlackofabettername and all his alterego's:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.10667896 heavily involved in scamming UNO and other coins created by him like XJO and Quark and spread FUD about Aurora
and 3. Cryptsy employees like BitJohn, Mullick and BigVern.
For me the "most beautiful" example that copy coin cloners, scammers and cryptsy worked together is with BottleCaps:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bottlecaps-21-update-required-hardfork-july-4-2014-to-200-annual-pos-241445https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.9586936Starring in the thread: JohnEden (anounced BottleCaps and is aka BitJohn from cryptsy), BitJohn himself (listing the coin at cryptsy), shakazulu (the creator of BottleCaps), digitalindustry (the Fudder and scammer in one in the thread with multiple names), Mullick (as the new coin developer, taking it over from shakazulu).
In my opinion the copy coin cloners and scammers are equally responsible for the loss of the bitcoins as the cryptsy employees, and must contribute to the compensation of people who lost their altcoins at cryptsy.
Is the altcoin world better now cryptsy is gone? hm...I don't think so lol. The copy coin cloners are also active at other exchanges. Some moved a long time ago...it is just very lucrative to be a copy coin cloner/scammer and pump/dump altcoins at exchanges....(a recent example I followed was Expanse...pumped in a few hours (1000%), a copy of Ethereum and cloned by...defaced
)
