I am the scammer who compromised bryant.coleman's account and scammed BitCorner.
After scamming I just could not bear the thought of scamming someone just like that. I decided to pay BitCorner. back and I did so in full. You can see the transactions here: https://blockchain.info/address/13WZYWZpP8RNV14tbroejPNeNB9PaPrcit
I felt an immense guiltiness and decided to pay him back.
I got bryant.coleman's account from an account seller who had been selling hacked accounts. I decided to buy one because i got scammed a lot on the currency exchange boards and thought i could do it myself.
After building trust with two transactions with BitCorner. I decided to scam for 0.11 BTC.
Greed sometimes overtakes everything.
After I successfully got the btc in my wallet I felt sick. I felt like a low life scumbag for doing what I did. But I needed money to pay for rent, debts etc.
So a few hours later after careful thinking I decided that it would be best to pay Bitcorner. back. When I did pay him back he seemed grateful that I did what I did, and I felt happy.
We were discussing how gambling can literally kill you when he sent me a [Suspicious link removed] link to betcoin.ag. I clinked on it and didn't think much about it.
Then he started blackmailing me to release my IP address publicly(which is 124.169.119.66 actually, i thought that i was on my mobile data at the time but i was actually connected to library wifi because once i left the library i searched up my ip address and it popped up with a different one), and demanding payments so that he will not "subponea" my IP address.
All the while I still felt bad about what i did and i decided to pay some btc to him, partly because he said he lost a lot of time and stressed out over our deal, partly because i thought that i was on my mobile data and was scared that he would actually do something to me even though I have paid him back in full already and apologised and he seemed to accept my apology at the start.
He agreed that he will not pursue me any further and forgive me completely after I send the payment of $19.55 in Advcash, which is exchanged into btc.
After I sent, he then said I had one week time to pay him a further $100 in a week's time, otherwise he'll release my IP address in public(again, i'll release "my" own ip address which actually belongs to the library, 124.169.119.66).
I guess it's karma. I try to scam someone and the person i tried to scam blackmails me for return.
My question is is this sort of behaviour morally acceptable? I 100% think that my scamming behaviour and although I returned the full amount was still completely unacceptable, but is blackmailing someone like me acceptable?

Bryant.coleman, your password remains unchanged, i'm so sorry of what i'm done. I really hate myself for ever thinking of scamming someone in this way. Please accept my sincere apologies and please PM me an address so I can tip you some BTC. I know you'll probably never fully forgive me, but i've learned a lesson.
I will never attempt to ever scam again. It's disgraceful and it's a disgusting feeling. I ended up around $50 in the negative because of attempting to scam.
For those wannabe scammers: Don't do it. You'll regret it.
I am sure you are coleman.
