just a shame that 99.95% of people here seem to think filing the online FBI/Relevant country report is enough and or going to do anything.

The part I don't get about these types of situations is why bother to refund anything?  It's not like he can ever run another groupbuy with that ID.  Once you got away with it what's the thinking behind returning anything to people you just got over on?


Because, of course, these scammers are hoping to buy some time to get away with it.

If you feel you've been scammed, you'll go after the scammer immediately... but if the scammer tries to say, 'oh, I'll pay it back!' and gives some 'proof' that they're willing to give it back, by giving people a small percentage of their money, gullible people will believe this story is possibly true, because just 'waiting' for money is a lot easier than trying to persue the person.

The scammers then have some time to either (a) hope most people forget about it months later (b) change IP addresses by changing hosting providers, or some other way of hiding.

It's such a common scheme, I really don't understand why so many people fall for it - must be their first time seeing this type of scheme.

And who in the world, once robbed, and in the hospital needing money to pay bills and lost wages at work would instead of thinking of himself, refund money to people he doesn't know on the internet. Money he doesn't have. He should write about being concerned about finding who the people are that beat him up / stole something. Plus, who in the world steals bitcoins by beating someone up? It's ridiculous.

So his group buy is closed with this message.  Does anyone believe this?  Did we just get scammed?  I lost BTC2.

EDIT:

This is mrugala wife. My husband asked me to inform you as soon as possible. He is currently in hospital due to his meeting with one of the client... What the client did is robbed his of his wallet and password with 2 other guys. We tried reporting it to police but they said that they don't deal with "Guild Wars or World of Warcraft gold is not withing our reach, please talk with Bitcoin developer". We should get some money from the indemnity.

Please PM us address on which You would like Your refund. There will be 105% refunds of what You send. Please be patient our rig earns 1 BTC a month and my husbands salary is also about 1 BTC per month, and I have some on my wallet - it will take up to 3-4 months to refund to everyone. We will start refunds from people who invested the most. Once again we are sorry. I closed the thread because I don't want to read bad things about my man. This is a tragedy for us all, but I think that hits us the most, please understand...

Pretty sure

Yep guys, you got scammed...anyone who hasn't already got the small refund he was giving out has lost out even more. Psychology is a dick.

I haven't forgotten either and still hope I get fully refunded but really this type of situation is impossible to make people whole again. The cold truth is that the coin is worth less than half what it was when this started plus none of us were ever able to mine anything with this lost coin (lest we forget that was the whole point in the beginning).
Best of luck to all going forward. Mrugala I hope you are well.

I should have funds to do second refund wave by the end of april. The loan I took for first wave is already paid back. Will keep You posted if anything changes.
Hi Mrugala,

Just a friendly reminder to refund our BTC.  We all didn't forget the heist!

Mrugala, I look forward to removing your negative trust (perhaps even giving you a +1 positive) once you repay the group buy participants. Thanks man!

I am sure after you clear all this you will get canceled your negative rating and ppl are willing to deal with you again, I also believe administrator/moderator of this forum should display ip-addresses of problem members like they do in other forums to prevent more problems in future.

Well it isn't concluded so I don't think we can say either way right now.
He sent out some refunds...has more to send but said it was going to take a few months.

I am trying to remain optimistic.


Hello.. At the moment my earnings are used to pay off the loan I took to do first refund wave. My monthly earnings are 450 USD/ month + my 4card RIG, and I really can't afford to do it so fast.. I am here almost every day on forum to answer Your questions and update, but as I said I do not have such funds.. I am sorry. You will get Your btc, as I said here:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.5085739

So what you are saying is this?

"I scammed you guys for the equivalent of 3 years of my salary and I can somehow pay you back in 3 months."  Can you clear up that fuzzy math for me?

It is a great pleasure for me to explain basic reading, deduction and math techniques to You.

Here is some math+deduction

0.5 month for fist wave
+2-3 months for second
+1 for third
= 3.5/4.5 months

Here is some reading:

+ my 4card RIG
, please do read carefully next time. Some people have friends and family aswell. Your arrogance towards me is not helping at all. Call me whatever You wan't, You seem to ignore the facts explaining what happened which I provided to You, but You cannot deny the fact that I already started refunding, and I am willing to finish it.
