I am a new bitcoin user. I recently bought bitcoin off of www.wallofcoins.com. they are suppose to be escrow for buyers and sellers. After 5 days of my account being in review by someone named john macpherson, i started to do some research, his name comes up on this thread many times. It is very concerning because it appears this thread was created over a fraudulent event.
Can someone tell me how this guy john fits into the crypsty scandal. I feel like he is holding my money at ransom for personal information, so they can steal my identity.
Thank you kindly

There is hope to get our money back? sad thing we won't our coins back
By all accounts, as it's structure now there is no hope of getting over 20% of your money returned.
That said, I do have a plan on how to make Cryptsy's class action filers whole again. In fact, if all goes according to plan they'll come out like bandits.
No, this is not a joke and am willing to disclose the basics on this thread prior to dedicating a new thread to the ideal.
Anybody interested, say aye!

Sincerely I could not think of such of connection between Coinbase and Cryptsy, however I'm immediately removing all my assets from there.
Better be safe than sorry.

Yes, that came from Coinbase, and no I never signed up on Coinbase, they gleaned my email address perhaps from this forum close to two years ago, I opting to let them continue to send me shit, with all past correspondence non-problematic stemming from their camp.

Yup, me thinks Coinbase is F*cked.
Don't forget this is an Ongoing LawSuit.
They'll pay out the Settlement to Cryptsy Claimants, kinda like a progress payment in Construction.
Too Bad they set the BTC Price at $330.00

Why does the Cryptsy connection apply just to Coinbase? Did Cryptsy not use Kraken or any other company? If so, can they be dragged in to this?
Somebody correct me if I'm wrong but I think that the lawyers have determined beyond doubt that Kraken wasn't used by the venerable Paul Vernon to launder moneys. Just Coinbase.
COINBASE & maybe now IRS are gonna do their darnedest to track down Perv Vern, methinks. Wouldn't that be great if they went after him for fraud or whatever, for Coinbase to try recover their losses? Not sure it would fly, but I'd love to see Vern hunted down like the dog he is by an org with big guns.
I don't think anyone needs to track him down, I assume they know where he is. There is also the matter of the unmoved bitcoin, this is what I think is crucial for Vern, from the discussions I have heard other players are unwilling to move on him in the hope of retrieving this. I imagine once that is exhausted it will be open season.
i still believe those bitcoin are forever stuck as no one has the keys.
they got lost in the fracas when vern was frantically trying to erase his tracks by destroying all the server data.
just my purely speculative theory ...that is all

I was meaning to check who the OP was of this thread, and just remembered to check.
Anyone know where he is or what happened?
Anyone know where he is or what happened?
He got mad at me and Gamow for trolling on this topic or something and sad he was leaving this topic and then went on to create a new one just like this.
Read his comment history
https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/thrillhou-123857And he claimed to have worked out his problems with Cryptsy long ago when Vern himself showed up on this topic helping him.
Yup.. Vern seen this topic 400 pages ago.. he knows it's here and he could comment but he's apparently busy.. maybe with JShock flogging "rate coin" via Social Media ?

If the latter part of the above sounds familiar, it's because Sonny utilized the same ploy for his Laissez Faire City, online casinos (with Jeff Ownby), and Lottery schemes circa 1995-2008. But don't worry, Sonny's on a new track now, finally taking advice from the person who helped raised him during his high school years, namely Jody Drake. ALL FUCKIN DOCUMENTED!!!
EDIT: I forgot to mention that BitPay liquids it's bitcoins to fiat via Coinbase, an entity having a valuation of U$1B (with a B) but needs to garner another U$100M from investors so to make their platform more robust. It's only a coincidence that Coinbase and BitPay have many of the same deep-pocket investors.

Coinbase best had declared all ongoing investigations pertaining to their brand in their prospectus available to all their current investors for their current U$100M funding round or else they'll be slapped with a Vleisides-esque fine and probation and told not to never again forget to forget disclosing such pertinent information.

With that ruling, there is actually a chance that many will get paid, the court discovery contains the location of the sealed DB server that was brought into the case and that discovery states that there are around 47,000 users. The total value that was settled upon, based upon the locked amount is around 18% of the value of the sealed holdings that the company still has access to, so it would be silly for them not to pay that out.
How would that fit in with people that have not joined the class action against Coinbase or Cryptsy and did not have a Coinbase wallet?
On the basis that Coinbase was used by Cryptsy to funnel or defraud their customers and a judgement is made against Coinbase then what would be a good way forward for people like me who live outside the USA who hope to get compensated for Cryptsy collapsing?
I dont think this is related to the cryptsy settlement. This is a separate action against coinbase and will be handled differently. If I understand correctly, the suit is abut how coinbase assisted Vern in stealing customer funds through negligence. If that is indeed the case, you would not need to have had a coinbase account to have been affected, just a cryptsy user.
Please correct me if I am mistaken.

No I don't
