Has anyone heard from Darktongue? All communications with him have ceased  Embarrassed
After realizing not all of my deals (mainly, deals with darktongue) were not on my trust ratings, I realized....

This must be done.

Darktongue. You deleted all evidence of your scamming escapades, but you didn't realize that I quoted them in a post to mobile. This is because we discussed you scamming mobile as well. Shame on you Darktongue. I hope you got the help you needed. I hope it was worth my 0.50 BTC to shame your dignity away. I am truly sorry for this friend, yet I am more remorseful to those that you so selfishly scammed. Dickhead.

 I'll remove all of this if you ever pay me back.

Thank you for the updates. Read with caution :/



That's about as good as I can come.  You can clearly see the 14k in that one


Prefer BTC 0.5 works that's low as fuck for this type of watch but.  Debit is debit heh.

Heading out for my day now.  I'll be hitting the post office first

I'll get ahold of you tonight without fail.  I have not been home to handle this. I'm sorry,  I'm usually on the ball when it comes to communication

I am right now working on getting you refunded my friend.  Shits went off like an atom bomb here on the homefront. I again am sorry I tied up your money like this.

My family and I had some problems.  We wher robbed while in our home and I had to defend our home.  My wife abd kids at this time are displaced.  I needed the money for collecting a suitable place for them so I sold it to a friend who gave me well over its value.  I also cashed out the Bitcoin in my android wallets for this task.

I have no intention of screwing you as Iknow you have children of your own.  If it takes any longer then tomarrow I'll express mail you cash and hope to god you deal with me in the future when things settle down.



 I totally understand how you feel.  I have a few things I can do.  I can send you something of equal sellable value,  sell an item for the owed amount in BTC,  pawn a few things and send a money order.  Or fix my PayPal issue (frozen for BTC exchangeing) or use Google wallet to send you funds.

If you would be willing to give me til wednesday at the latest (due to the holiday monday) I can square this off.  I actually appreciate this PM as I've been dropping the ball on a lot of things.  I've been in a state of remorse for a person who's intent was to harm my family.  I never in my life thought I'd have to shoot someone let alone end a life.

My kids are dispondent. I really didn't know what to do that night after that less then 30 second responce and action.  My seven year old tells my wife anytime he comes in the house he smells gun powder and salt.  Because of that my wife has decided to stay with her mother until a new home is found.  

As you can imagine not sleeping in the same bed as the lady has caused some problems on that front.  So I've lost interest in a lot of my obligations and passions. Bottom line is that is not me.  And no I do not wish to make something this easy to fix a huge problem for us and the community.

Also if it would be alright I'd like to open a channel of vocal communication.  Skype or direct phone. That might be overkill but brother I'm super sensative at the moment and at some point hope to get back to a regular flow.

Hope to hear from you soon, I'll be checking my email every so often for your responce.

Reguards,

 Sean

 Okay this is what I can currently do.  I can throw you $30 cash and the remaining I can send you in silver pre 64 quarters.  I can send extra as it seems the market is a shape shifter as of late. I have a few ww2 era silver quarters that have a $4-$5 collecter value.  Don't know of you have the means or the energy/time to hunt a collector but.  I will send those as well.  If that does not work I can send the $30 plus my wedding ring.  I'd want that one back for sure.  So I'd send the money to return it Insured as well.  It's engraved with my wife's initials as well as my own and the date we wher. Married.  It's a 10gram14k gold band.

Let me know

whats up bro,

A user by the name of "Darktongue" requested that I contact a handful of people on his behalf. He stated their usernames quickly over the phone so I am assuming I am getting the spelling right and contacting the correct person. Before I write a a blurb I have to ask have you had dealings with darktongue?

I've done deals with him in the past. Smooth as fuck. Now, this time, when he did not ship within a day, I had some second thoughts. I figured, 'This guy is a small time published author, he has a family, he is knit in the community, something has to be really wrong for him to act like this...'. So getting your message, I knew something was fishy with Sean. I'm glad he is getting treatment and help and love from family. I think negative trust would be worthless, DT doesn't seem like he would be on there trying to scam anyone right now. I did not get any raging impression, hell, i'd be LIVID if he ran off with my 3+ BTC. I kept offering to talk with him via skype or email, especially after his invitation. No avail. I don't have any suggestions, only a realization that we will probably never see our money again. In BTC terms the coinage that I should have now from him would be worth a LOT more than it was. I am a bit upset about that, but seriously, we can't expect any money back now. He went off the deep end. Hard drugs, addictions, relapses are all rough patches that usually require the user or patient to lose a lot of contact with the real world.



And mobile, I know we discussed we would keep our findings hush, but I am now at a point that the members deserve to know the true side of it. Darktongue may or may not have had a break in. But from the looks of it, he manufactured the fake situation as an escape from his debts due to his drug addiction.

Thank you for the updates. Read with caution :/

Thank you whole heartily for your response. While situations like this never can succeed to closure, reading your words really did seem to give me a bit of a grip on the situation. This is a lesson learned. Not that it really would of mattered but if I ever lend again, I will work with my terms. Red flags should of been thrown back in July when he refused to send me legit pictures, pay dividends and hashing numbers.

A side rant and I promise to keep this short. The only thing that really gets me is that he supposely has collateral.....a slew of block erupters, handful of FPGA's & GPA's & early adopter holdings of Litecoin. we spoke again a few nights ago after my last message to you. these rigs are sitting idle, I offered to pay full shipping but he refuses. refuses to send any Litecoin, suddenly has to get off the phone. *sigh*

Commenting further while I have this little block of time. Your right about the negative feedback, you have to remember that for a month now (i have long since stopped) Ive been pouring into the whole Tradefortress situation and it all gets to your head sometimes. Anyways I appreciate your correspondence & your confidentiality in the matter. On some level it helps me level out by getting this out and in the open and your the only one i know that is connected to Sean. anyways because you were so kind as to send me these quotes, Ill paste these text messages pulled from my google voice. To shed light in what our correspondance has degenerated too. I do feel back for the guy on a human level and makes me shared as shi* thinking about this meth shi*

Ive heard this from Sean probaly over 100x now "Im going to send you X next week.

BUT

First time Ive heard him say this.....

I'm sending you a miner on Monday and will have proof. Peon will take silver and I still have the silver I was to send him

so that is that. perhaps youll get some silver. Better because each time we cross the conversation of payback. he always brings up the silver and how he is going to give me silver as payback. i always say im grateful for anything but i dont want silver. peon should get the silver i should get some hashing. anyways. things might work out for you bro. just filling you in.


And then all comm with DT ceased.

I know you're going to read this DT when you log in again. Because i'm going to PM you the link. Cunt.

Lately, I am only in contact with DTA once or twice a month. I must say that each time we speak, he sounds better each time. Like he is getting "his situation" together. He always mentions that a payback is "in the works" always talks about his guilt to me & the rest of you. However this has been been going on since November & I have not received some miscellaneous hardware that was promised to be sent to me as a partial payment. So basically every time I talk to him, the situation looks promising and bright...I feel good about it because in reality at the end of the day DTA is a good kid but then as time goes on, nothing happens, nothing is sent simply null. Then rinse and repeat.

I am late sending my cheer but I hope everybody had good holidays.

I am setting a date for the end of this window of voluntary resolution. If Darktongue does not contact me, post here, or contact the individuals he owes by January 15th, I will release the identifying information I have about him, only to those parties affected and which can meet my previously posted standards.

If you have a claim with him please start posting the information I requested. If you can meet my standards and he doesn't follow thru with paying his debts I WILL release identifying information, only to these parties. People around here do not take kindly to being ripped off. Just like it was when we did a trade, hiding and not responding is NOT the solution here and only makes things harder for you. I assure you if you are upset now you will be much more upset later if you do not pay your debts. You are being given an opportunity to fix this. I suggest you do so.

Chiming in my thoughts.

My only association is that I personally know 1 person

who has lost BTC dealing with him.

What makes me think badly about him, is sending a ring clearly marked 10k,

and claiming a heavier weight and 14K, then blaming a nameless party on whose advice he'd taken.



I see your point, if you feel he is gonna pay up,
I shouldn't aggravate the situation. I will tone down my post.

How does he not have a setup? I sent coin to him, how did he receive it?

Right, I sent him 3 BTC back in July (i think about it every day, especially at these prices). I was merely commenting that from the sounds of it, he currently does not have a computer setup, which I assume complicates his ability to comment. Either way it doesn't matter.

I have had similar issues with this user. If it helps clarify things IMO I don't think he is a scammer just very unmotivated and averse to conflict/responsibility for his actions. In my case I had to press him for some time to get what he agreed to send and it was not in satisfactory condition. I think he probably just has a lot of personal problems. This is no excuse for him not honoring his agreements, and people should know he can be difficult to trade with, but I wouldn't draw conclusions yet about him being a scammer. I may be willing to provide documentation on this individual as long as:

1. The agreements are publicly documented
2. You sign the transaction proving you own it
3. He is given sufficient time to fulfill his obligations with this new information in mind

You have a chance to make this right buddy. No one here wants to be your enemy but you can't go around setting fires without expecting to get burned.  If it was in fact delivered post tracking information. Take responsibility and pay what you owe. That is all that needs to be done.

I can appreciate your approach and agree with you. Trying to take this in stride and learn something from it. For example, we (I) should have posted this -> Darktongue MINING BOND CONTRACT with mobile / (mobile314) [UNPAID] publically from the gecko. At the end of the day, I guess it really would not of been an aide in this situation considering the personal problems Darktongue is experiencing but still....

Deep down, I do believe that Darktongue will eventually pay off us off (whether in full or a haircut granted BTC is trending at these prices) but realistically Im prepared that it may be a very long time from now  Cry From what I gather he is fairly upset about all of this and a series of his bad decisions combined has brought us to this situation.  I commented to Darktongue the same exact thing, (about posting the tracking information) I hope that if in fact he has limited access to a machine, he post this soon. Thinking out loud, I guess this would be one pile of dirt off his name. Ive written this post over a span of a few hours and have lost where I am going with this!  Tongue

This ASSHOLE, Darktongue, should not offer deals he is unwilling to complete,

or provides false INFO, as in the case of the gold ring.

This is the DEFINITION of a scammer. If he will not respond immediately and remedy this, he has NO honor.

That he claims to be from a family involved in Freemasonry is laughable. He is a common thief.

Fuck him and his lame ass excuses. Fuck him for being a LAME motherfucker.


DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH DARKTONGUE.

Who are you? Are you just chiming in on your thoughts on the matter or did you deal with Darktongue and currently at a loss?

Nothing breaking or super constructive but for sake of chiming in....Darktongue told me a while back that he does not have a computer set up and does not have internet access. I am assuming that he wrote you the last message on his mobile device.

The thread has enticed Darktongue to answer for himself.  I received a message, and in the interest of transperancy here it is...

Ah great,  so a couple of days amounts to a month down under?  I'm really sorry if that insults you but as of late I have not had the drive to check email or even fuck around with mypphone (I primary my email clients through it). I'm going to have to refuse paying you uppwards of $900 as a refund. I have to be quite honest with you. I did a ton of calling,  emailing and a few dollars spending.  Only to find out the parcel had been delivered.  Believe me this wasn't easy. 

I can pay you the value paid for these comics and the vhs. However I'd like to first provide proof of this research, receipt of transaction when I mailed them as well as everthing else I have on this.  It is my understanding you have been cut some raw deals and have had some fucked shit happen such as the inputs hack. I can understand and have much empathy for you.

The last two months of my life haven't been any easier then yours my friend.  You need to h elp me help you here and not be a gun jumper for a moment. I will be in touch.

Also may I have an email and or skype contact as well.  I'm not even going to read your scam thread so. Direct contact with you is how I'll handle this.  Make this transparent if you must.  But don't expect me to join a shit show.

Many thanks,

 Sean
