Hello everyone,
I don't want to rehash everything in this thread as it can all be found and read over in the HostedMining.com thread initially started by zif33rs (Joe Councilman). He has been offline since September 2013 when he went to jail for an old DUI charge. The last contact I had with him was November 7th. Since then, he won't respond to phone calls, emails, texts, anything. He moved from Seattle to Wanachee, WA and was living in his camper after the arrest, trying to get back on his feet and find a new place to host the miners supposedly. I filed a police report with Wanachee police, but they won't call me back.
HostedMining is a complete scam now as far as I'm concerned. Joe has over $15k of my equipment and cash loans. That doesn't count all the other clients he was hosting. One of them saw one of their PCs online and logged in remotely and captured an IP address belonging to a Wanachee resident through Cox Communications. It's my belief that he's re-established hosting, but is doing it privately to take advantage of the hashing power he has to generate large sums of scrypt-based crypto for himself due to the high value of some of those coins.
Is there ANYONE that thinks they could help track down Joe's whereabouts? I will personally pay him a visit if so and pay a cash reward for your assistance. I've done everything I can think of, and I want my computers as well as all the other clients' systems back so we can do what we wish with them. We've lost tens of thousands of dollars in missed mining profits by now due to this scumbag.
Someone please help or give ideas for me to look into!
