No it's not your responsibility, but it really isn't anyone else's either.

It's obvious that you're upset, and that's completely understandable if you've been a victim of theft, but it seems like you are doing everything but what you yourself recommended:

IF YOU EVER GET RIPPED OFF, IT IS TOTALLY ACCEPTABLE, AND YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO OTHERS TO SCREAM IT OFF THE ROOFTOPS, TELL EVERYONE, POST IT EVERYWHERE, BUILD A WEBPAGE DEDICATED TO THE PERP, START A BLOG

If you could just cool down a bit and write a detailed post with your specific allegations, you might be surprised at the amount of assistance / advice you receive.

tl;dr:
I want help! Something happened, but I won't tell you what it is. I just want you to help me fix it, but I won't tell you what kind of help I need. So can you help me?

no

Psy, will you change your mind and help me if I type up 2 more paragraphs that are completely irrelevant? (I'm smarter than the OP because I'm asking before I do it so I do less work if the answer is no...)

But in all seriousness, what's up with people coming to this forum lately and asking for help but not posting what their desired resolution is?

The admins haven't done anything for you because you haven't asked them to do anything in particular!!!

Onionwallet (Onion wallet) is a SCAM. Prior to using the Onionwallet site, I could not find any reviews on the site. Well, I was just robbed for about $165 from that site. Here is how it went down...beware and don't make the same mistake I did.

1. I deposited <1 BTC into 2 different accounts
2. I received a message that my BTC transfer was being processed (correct amount shown)
3. After 45 minutes, the BTC was simultaneously taken out of both accounts
4. The BTC, according to blockchain, was placed into 1NRMGqPYXwPoAGHiPAMzBgkqCcmgms3hjH
reference: http://blockchain.info/address/1NRMGqPYXwPoAGHiPAMzBgkqCcmgms3hjH
5. I am no longer able to log in to either account, as the site is a scam itself.

What is the tell tale sign is that the OnionWallet site will allow me to create a new account and log into that account; however, I cannot log into the accounts that I deposited in. After feeling something was fishy, I used blockchain.info to figure out exactly where the BTC went and that my accounts in OnionWallet are empty. My password is abstract, and I take good care to maintain its confidentiality.

Are there many scam wallet sites out there like Onionwallet? I researched OnionWallet before I deposited, but there was no one saying that it was a scam. One look at the blockchain 1NRMGqPYXwPoAGHiPAMzBgkqCcmgms3hjH let's me know that this guy has been scamming quite a bit.

Sad for sure....Anyone have any suggestions on a trustworthy, anonymous wallet site out there?

I am not the only one, it is not my job to police Bitcoin Forum.

-Branzig.

Yep, its not you job. Its your job to use decent security practices when online (2fa). Its your jobs to file your own police report. Its your job to stop blaming the forum and stop acting like a little bitch. The admins do this for free. Get over it.

OK - this is why you use reputable services (eg Blockchain.info) instead of something tor related. Tor wallets seems to have a 100% scam rate so far.

I pm'ed Branzig, to see what exactly he was wanting us to do, because as people have stated this is just a forum, we aren't the cops and can't really do anything, but I figured I'd see what he wanted.

How about killing yourself now? That would be a good start.

Gee, I wonder why you're getting ignored Roll Eyes

. Also not very nice for a self proclaimed nice guy.

After a week and no response from any moderators? Yeah, I have done the research and have seen many others who are getting robbed by numerous members and nothing is said or done about it, you can police your own forum.

I am tired of being treated like an idiot, I was just wanting to be involved in helping growing Bitcoin, that has passed.

Thanks anyways,
it isn't personal.

The forum is not the police, the only thing they can do is give them a scammer tag, ban them, or release their IP. They're not going to arrest this guy or fine him or anything.

So reveal it, if you don't want to for some reason PM me.

As TF told, give him name and proof's that he's the one who stole money or send it to one moderator (John k.)

and dude if you don't tell his name,he will might scam more peoples.

Please be explicit in your scam accusations:
1 - name the forum member who stole from you
2 - clarify where you held the funds (local wallet, online wallet, mtgox account, ...) and how the thief could have gotten the info needed to access it.
I won't blame you if you somehow gave your account info to him, it's still theft if he took BTC without your permission, but just claiming that he stole from you explains exactly nothing.

Sorry if this sounds harsh, but without any usable info your accusation just sounds like you're spreading FUD.

I really want to, but if I want any chance of getting my little bit of money back, along with saving other people 'real' pain, and most importantly helping to save the reputation of Crypto Currency, outing them will alert them and they will switch it up, right now, they are still operating and I am hoping one of the wizards that are on here, could help us out. I find it very suspicious that Bitcoin Forum Admin has not responded or has done anything about it, this is not my Forum, it is theirs, I am just alerting everyone to the insane situation that is ongoing. Be careful, I was fine until I came to Bitcoin Forum.

PM me who is the hero member that is doing this.

Why not PM me privately with the person and I can tell you what I know about them, perhaps help you in reclaiming your funds? Or maybe even tell you why you have no chance of reclaiming them, etc.
