Topic: KRUNIAC Scam ASIC 1 share - page 13. (Read 21681 times)

Meh, your words are useless to me. That's all. Please enjoy your stolen funds, one day karma's going to get back to you.

Well he sure isn't the brightest scammer. He personally admitted for his actions, several people have chat logs as proof, and someone even found his home address. Will be interesting to see how this all plays out.

Maryland's Criminal Law:

Theft can be a felony when the value of stolen property exceeds $1,000, and at this level it is considered grand theft. If the value of stolen property falls under $10,000, the crime is punishable by up to a $10,000 fine and 10 years imprisonment. When the value of stolen property falls between $10,000 and $100,000, the crime is punishable by up to a $15,000 fine and 15 years imprisonment. Once the value of stolen property exceeds $100,000, the penalty can be up to 25 years in prison and a $25,000 fine. Grand theft can be charged in the third, second or first degree based on these stolen property value thresholds, respectively.

I sent him 2.35 in tx a94a47f563e679f1b27ad9ee6837e7d27599f5a9a261f7ea9a366948aba0220c ... shame on me, obviously w/o escrow.

jwest, I sent pm to you later. To point out here, friedcat was replying to me, that the share was moved to an address starting with 1F8hkA.., owned by jwest411. if jwest411 owns that address, it'll be fine for him.

I paid for 1 ASICMiner share from Kruniac yesterday:

Would you be interested in buying an ASICMiner share? I found you in an auction thread for ASICMiner shares, and figured you were in the market.

I'll resell at 2.45 BTC. I can do more with the BTC than I can with the share TBH.

Proof of ownership is at this auction: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.2364193

That sounds good to me!  

If you happen to not win the auction, just send me a PM to see if I still have the share.

At any rate, good luck with your bidding.

If you're interested, please provide me with the address you'd like dividends sent to, the username you'd like associated with the share transfer, as well as the TxID of payment to the following address:

If everything goes smoothly, I'll pass the PM along to Friedcat authorizing the transfer.

Also, please remember to rate Trust after Friedcat contacts you confirming the transfer.

Hey. Sorry to bug you, but did you still want that share, or can I stop holding it?

I understand. That will be fine - I'm not expecting any other transactions, so I'll trust that it's you.

I'll send the PM to Friedcat with the following information:

I got it just fine. I'll send the PM off ASAP - you should hear back from Friedcat within 48 hours (just an estimate - he's pretty swamped).

Don't forget to trust when you receive confirmation.

Hi Kruniac,
Actually I would like to buy a share, but the amount I have offered at the auction is my entire contingent for trading. In case the auction doesn't work out for me, and you're still interested, we can do this. I'll let you know, but I can't promise until tomorrow.

Have a nice day!

Hey Kruniac,

Sorry for taking so long to reply. Yes, I'll take it. Before I send the funds, know that I will transfer them from MtGox, so I can only retrieve the ID they show me, I'm not sure if that corresponds to the txID in the blockchain or is MtGox specific. Is it okay?

Other than that, this username is fine and the address is
1NGNmWMKrUemNDsT6KyzKtsABxus3Lnr9

I'll send the payment after receiving your confirmation

Hi Kruniac,

I just sent the BTC2.45 to your address

The txID is fcd98fc1669496ee8385ae729bf920d37ea2145c6c55c96412c49e2ce65cbee7

I'll let this go. I made my money.

I will say this - I DID transfer the share to methax before I made any deals with anyone else.

I DO have screenshots to prove this.

I transferred it because HE USED ESCROW, and I COULD NOT get funds without LEGITIMATELY transferring it.

That's all.

I'm not the admin here. Anyway, I think I have sufficient proof that the share isn't transferred to him, and that you're trying to sell the poor share multiple times, so the funds is refunded to the buyer.

No, I ACTUALLY DID transfer the share via Friedcat. In fact, he was the only person I transferred shares to. Why?

He used escrow

You can check the PM records (if you can do that, John). I sent two PMs to Friedcat.

One was me transferring the share to Methax.

The other was me trying to confirm the share to Friedcat.

Regardless of what happened with any other transactions, it sounds like Friedcat made a transfer based on someone else's message (jwest?). I transferred ownership of that share on June 05, 2013, at 08:16:26 AM.


No other PMs were sent to Friedcat involving a transfer.

Methax is the only person authorized by me to own that share. Period. I don't know how much more clear I can be.

At this point, I'm not even interested in the escrow. It's the principle

Methax was the only person to demand escrow. I accepted. I legitimately transferred ownership of the share BECAUSE he demanded escrow.

I sent the funds back to you after determining that this chap's not transferring any shares to you.

As far as verifying the dox above...
He sent me a picture of a MoneyPak receipt purchased in MD (that afternoon upon my request). 
*edit:
This was about a week before on 5/31/13.

I am a victim as well.

I am pretty sure I was the first person to buy his share.

He took 1.8 for it.  You'll notice that that transaction comes right after the ASICMiner dividend tx:
https://blockchain.info/tx/4b194ffb4c9f0b80c4e4752ef87855e17c209542eb95c1381dafd2cd860b12f5

He signed multiple message stating intent to sell, followed by a request to transfer using that dividend address 14cBNrTYW9XCnYhJqJ9ooAMzz7zAnojWaz

Receiving the signing requests with that address gave me confidence it was legit.
I forwarded the signed transfer requests to friedcat... as soon as I got them.

Later that day I found him discussing selling to another person on OTC...

eastern time

JWest,

What timezone is that chat log from.  In order for the cops to subpoena his ISP to verify he was logged in on that IP address at that time I'll need to know that information.

Thanks.

thats 100% a pic of him i skyped with him

EDIT 99% I got this pic of him

I did some Google searching on "KRUNIAC" and it seems that the handle is really only used by one guy:
  Garrott Gardner
  Birth Date 06/13/1984
  Address:
  805 W WASHINGTON ST UNIT 3
  HAGERSTOWN, MD 21740

I of course can't prove that this tool is really the Kruniac from this forum:


On this post:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.2300001

Kruniac offers to purchase 2.7 btc from JoeChmoe the day before Kruniac ends up buying his 1 Asicminer share. (via BoA Transfer)

Via PM, JoeChmoe denies selling him the btc.  However, if JoeChmoe really did have history of the BoA transfer, we could know definitively the real identity of Kruniac and could transfer the matter to the authorities.

In the above chatlog, Kruniac connected via a Comcast IP address: https://ipdb.at/ip/68.55.37.228 Which is also based in Maryland.

I was scammed as well....

Original message:

Of course, I didn't receive a share.

It seems he just send friedcat his share transfer multiple times and looking from your chat it seemed like he hoped the shares were sent to me since I used escrow and he wouldn't get his 2.45BTC from me If he didn't actually transfer it. But based on his multiple sent requests freidcat had transfer to someone else instead of me. So someone who bought from him wihtout escrow got the shares and I didn't, so no money from escrow from him. and someone ended up not getting scammed.

His PMs: http://i.imgur.com/32opgz4.png?1

My replies: http://i.imgur.com/0hvIoBQ.png?1

Let me know if there is any other information I can provide.

I guess the lesson from this is to be sure to use Escrow if you have any doubts at all!

this is the address Kruniac used to receive payments:

PM's

any and all details proving he offered shares and that you paid for it.
