Has anyone been calling/texting the number for him I posted?? Still no answers but I am hoping we can bug the shit out of him until his phone is unusable.

Also, I'm going to look for a local news channel up there that does investigative pieces and tell them the Joe story. Media loves running pieces on BTC and other cryptos when it shows people getting scammed. I'm hoping they'll find him, or at least bring a news van to his ex-wife's house and put them on blast. I'm going after her and his kids now to get him to come out of the bushes.

Still can't find Joe. I asked a friend who lives in Washington to pay a visit to his ex-wife's address. For any of you that may have friends in the Seattle area, I encourage you to do the same.

Her name is Nancy Councilman. Joe's children live with her. This is her address:

220 11th Ave N, Algona, WA, 98001-6516

I know it's legit too because Joe was upset I had sent someone there when he was locked up. Do what you will with the above information. I'm at the end of my rope right now.

No new updates. He is still not answering any calls or texts. His phone is still active because he shuts it off at night so no one can call in the middle of the night. Does anyone live near the Seattle area that could go knock on his ex-wife's door? I know her address and he HATES people going and bothering her and his kids (which live there). Maybe if we annoy them enough he'll come back out of his hole.

Something like this needs to be done if he's continually ignoring any attempts to contact him.

His phone was shut off all day today. Now it's on and I'm calling continuously. He won't answer.

Anyone is welcome to try him and see if he'll answer:
1-206-453-8617

Call, text, anything him 24/7 until he answers or replies.

Seccour,

I've asked him to do as such. Right now, according to him, all computers are in storage, including his, and he doesn't have a way to connect it to the net. I'm doing what I can to keep communication flowing to everyone as best as possible. Hopefully he does get a new lease and can get online and do some explaining to everyone.

Don't kill the messenger please! :p

I have $15,000 worth of cash and equipment tied up with him, so it's not like I'm taking any of this lightly...

Again, thanks for your efforts in doing all this.

But you should relay to him that not having a PC is absolutely no excuse for not getting on these forums and posting for his clients. He can use a smartphone, go to an internet cafe or public library, the resources are endless and he owes his customers the decency of at least a few explanatory posts.

Got ahold of Joe a few days ago and just made it back around a computer to make this post. He's in talks with someone for a place. Rent has been decided but they're still supposedly trying to come to terms on lease-length. Joe wants 3 years and the landlord wants a 5 year lease. Sounds like he could have a new place to host within a week or two.

After talking with him though, I set a hard date of 12/15/13 to either have my systems fully up and running or our deal is off. Seeing as I have most of the hashing power of the company, that would mean a dissolution of the business. So if Joe can't come through with something for me (and the rest of us) by 12/15, we'll all be getting our systems back.

I'll be in contact with him early next week hopefully to see how leasing talks are going. That's all I have for now.

Tell him to connect to bitcointalk, we news from him directly.

No response to my text from Tuesday. Texted him again today. Going to make multiple attempts this evening to call him if need be. Still hoping for something.

Good luck. He's still actively responding to anything related to my chargeback (at least to the credit card processor) but appears to be ignoring anything else. CC processor said they've had 0 issues getting ahold of him and he's disputing everything, claiming that he sent my systems to me and is still providing the service as promised originally.

For what it's worth, I still can't get ahold of him either. Looks like he'll only respond to those who are capable of taking his money back from him.

Ranlo, I think everyone has a slightly different contract with Joe.

As for Joe, I'm supposed to talk to him tonight hopefully. If I do, I'll post tomorrow about it.

Thanks,
-Moose

Thanks. He never sent me a contract (he promised one within 7 days of my purchase). Now his claims against me are that he mailed out everyone's packages. Apparently he has no tracking or anything for any of them, either.

When you speak to him, tell him I wanted to know what package he's expecting me to return, when he never sent out one. I've been trying to get ahold of him myself but he refuses to respond to me.

I seriously want to avoid taking this to court but I'm already preparing for it in case he ends up wanting to push this. A little ridiculous if you ask me, but I won't let this go. You don't flat out steal almost $6k from someone like this.

I'm also filing a formal report against his LLC with the state of Washington at this point.

Hey all, did anyone get the promised contract from Joe showing the services we ordered? If so, can you please let me know? I'm pursuing this further.
