I am disappointed that things on the “0.01 BTC to 1.2 BTC” front suddenly went all quiet after I posted my txids above.
Thank you for your excellent work, NLNico. It will take me awhile t digest all the links you dumped... Will probably comment sometime (much) later. Curious that alia has not commented.

New hypothesis: There really is a girl actively involved, not only as a hireling or sidekick but perhaps even as the one writing the posts here. revcback/favours/whatever is the boyfriend or “FWB” who provides penis for on-camera sex acts which require one. There is no brother-sister relationship.
Observe:Alia was not the one who suggested a “little brother”. That was me!
I was the one who discovered that ibminer’s “15-year-old” was a self-alleged 15-year-old
boy; and when ibminer questioned this scenario, I tossed this off-the-cuff:
A better question may be "Why is there a 15 year old boy asking for a fake ID matching the name of an e-whore who appeared on this forum a week after that 15 year old boy asked for it"
I dislike speculating about such things, especially in public. But if I try to think of a plausible “why”, the first thing which comes to mind is, “Little brother got jealous of big sis doing that Bitcoin thing, wanted his own exchange account, needed to be 18+, had easy access to her identity docs for alteration.”
This occurred during the time when Alia was allegedly (and probably) asleep. When she returned, she immediately picked up and ran with
three distinct things I had written in the interim—including the “little brother” scenario.
Now, think: The female in a boy-girl “friends with benefits” scammer pair gets caught. Another party casually suggests a “little brother” hypothesis. What is the girl going to say?
The foregoing is only a hypothesis—much like my “little brother” hypothesis in the first instance. It is not proved. It does fit available evidence, however. There is simply not (yet) enough evidence to draw firm conclusions.
I also noticed something odd. In some of Alia’s threads, she is hungry and desperate for a meal. In others, she is handling quite large amounts of money.
(There is more I could say to analyze this; but I wish to not detract from one particular point.)
Alia, if you’re trapped in some desperate situation, this is a better opportunity to come clean and
get out than you’ve ever had.
There are people here who are highly efficient at running these things down. Hereto undiscovered swaths of your boyfriend’s scamming are being examined, archived, and fit together as puzzle pieces by people who do this as a hobby—perhaps also some who do this for a living. The jig’s up.
The loser promised you a wealthy lifestyle. You don’t need to tell me that. He impressed you with some intelligence. Gives TEDx talks, does he? And then you wind up in situations like this:
I'm really hungry and I want some KFC, but all my funds are in BTC right now.
There are people who could help, and who could connect you with the right ways to GET OUT NOW.
I myself would like to help you, Alia.Results are not guaranteed. I don’t know what kind of soup you got yourself into, but it looks to me like you’re in over your head. A chance is a chance. You’re a gambler, right? You take risks. Bet on yourself this time,
for real—and for some real merit.
Please take the chance when you have everybody’s attention, and tell us (publicly or—to trusted parties, privately) just what is going on here. Seek advice. Bust your way out of this mess. You could turn out to be the hero of the day, and put all this behind you.
I appreciate the PM you sent me earlier. I feel similarly. I write the foregoing for your sake. Insofar as my own personal interests are concerned, I could leave this thread and not come back. Nobody’s accusing me of anything anymore. But I am still here, waiting for you to prove who you really are...
