Topic: ===►Maidak scammed me 400$ BTC,this time is for sure===► - page 4. (Read 18754 times)

I agree there are different shades of scamming or untrustworthyness but the matter of the fact is he currently owes a lot of money which he took under false pretenses and abused his position regardless of excuses or explanations and until he pays it back it's all just talk. Sure, I hope he pays it back but that still wouldn't excuse what he's done and he still did initially take the money without keeping up his end of the deal so he still 'scammed' it from them so regardless of the outcome there's nothing wrong with calling this a scam. At best if he returns the money he's taken out an interest free loan for himself but that was never agreed upon and is still very untrustworthy though I would respect him for making the situation right.

I have to admit I sorta hate this binary mindset that some people on here exhibit where someone is a scammer and someone else is a non-scammer and as if that describes accurately the world we live in.  In point of fact, there are all kinds of shades of grey and degrees of negative behavior.  Satements like "that guy is a scammer, no excuses or bullshit" seem to ignore the fact that if he pays back eventually, that is clearly better behavior than never paying back at all.  And to talk this way, as if the world is a collection of scammers and non-scammers is in fact a misleading dichotomy which only adds confusion and rankor.  If someone makes a mistake and then tries to clear it up, it's clearly better than not trying to clear it up.  I just have become quite sick and tired of this binary scammer/non-scammer thing, I just don't think it's helpful.

When you offer to buy $5k worth of BTC saying you will send funds "over in a few minutes" then disappear for months then you are a scammer, no excuses or bullshit.

He knew he did not have the funds to pay for the goods before initiating the deal.

I'm rather uncomfortably on the fence on this whole thing after reviewing this all. So Maidak as it would seem is most definitely having liquidity issues. Even then, with liquidity issues, why wouldn't you just give the BTC back? The BTC was simply nicked and sold. I can't see a plausible reason a sane person would do this if their business was struggling.

Maidak,

I, for one, appreciate that you gave replies on-thread to everyone's questions.  In the end, being open about your situation and making a plan to repay and sticking to it are the only options for recovering your reputation.  Anyway, I'm just glad you're still here talking to people and I hope all gets worked out soon.

I never bragged about my income but from 17 to 24 I was making a living full time from the comfort of my own home. My yearly net income was at the lowest 65k and my best year was over 200k All of it was made legitimately and my best niche other then bitcoin was trading final fantasy 11 accounts and gold.

Now as for finding people to invest in any new side project essentially I just wanted a partner to share expenses and equally take a risk in a new idea or website. What I can say about the cash I did make is easy come easy go. I spoiled not only my ex girlfriend but myself as well. On top of that if I wanted to do something with my so called ''friends" i always had the deep pockets. Regardless I have explaned myself and my yearly income has nothing to do with the money I currently owe the 2 users. Anyways my reputation on here is something I most certainly want to get fixed and hope these users who left a negative review remove it. The income I made just from being a trusted member for trading btc is way more then the 5500 owed. However the money I use to make from home has just been put to a stop until I get my rep here fixed. Anyway i am tired but I know everyone was long awaiting a reply from me so here they are.

I hav no reason to stall I just don't have the cash the finances are just to tight anymore without my secondary income that came from bitcoin an MMO gold training. At this point with the amount of negative feedback I've received from various users that I feel will never get removed even after paying them back. If I had the cash to do it now it would be done. The IRS problem is my own private matter but it is related to the multiple bank wires varying from 30 to 100k USD that I was ignorant with an never reported.


Like I said if I was a scammer I would of bailed out when i've had a quarter to half a million in this communities money and never ordered the bulk miners to redistribute. I do care about my name and reputation but this job kicks my ass i'm only able to post this now because I am at a location with internet an have cancelled my own internet serfvice as well as cable to cut bills. ideally a debt consolidation loan through a private person at an agreed percentage so I can minimize this down to one bill and reduce the interest rates on the majority of this debt. 

First off i belive my MMORPG gold site is worth more then what you think. Here is a link to one of the 50 addresses I use for payment processing on orders. https://blockchain.info/address/1LuFAm5DfmKGVv8rpZ6Z4NVB8xEaPqXsNs Each address is roughly the same amount of received coin. The payment system to accept bitcoin was to forward to one of the 50 addresses using blockchain.

Now the reason i'm in such a situation to where I can not pay anyone back on bitcointalk.org currently for the most part is information that is personal. What I will disclose is a couple years ago I ran a group buy on bitcointalk.org which raised about 98K USD which was sent to the supplier of the bitcoin mining hardware by bank wire in USD. This has now caught up to me and has put me in quite a bind.

Since my reputation has since been ruined until these debts are paid back. I have given up on even trying to make a secondary income after work. Staying at home on a PC was a full time job since 2008 and I am now 25 years of age an hit rock bottom. Going from a 6 figure income per year from home, to building highway bridges as a union carpenter. Thankfully I was hired in as a journeyman so I have a topped out wage at 28.40 per hour. However a 60 hour week brings in 1k after all fees. When I was used to 1k or more per day.

I know andres is owed 4300 USD from what my notes tell me. Svbhd is owed $450 from a $300 24 hour BTC loan. Currently I have about 40k USD in debt most of this debt is very high interest ranging from 15 to 29%

Everyone who has contacted me personally through my cell is truthful. i really do apologize about owing this money. I am currently looking into a debt consolidation at this point. My grandfather is now cancer free and is back at home able to take care of himself.

My yearly income since 09 was no less then 70K USD on mmoclub.com and through the Maidak name and forum reputation.

Oct. 2014 I built bitcoinminerz.com using an opencart platform after running a group buy that ended up being a huge success. This site itself when ran properly made 149k when I built it and its best year was 310K.

If you dig enough you'll find my information is very public. I have nothing to hide but some things are just not meant to be put online about ones personal life.

With all this said I have no intention of scamming 5500 USD. If I was a scammer the year I would of given the bird and walked out would of been in november of 2014 when I had roughly half a million in my bank during the end of a group buy I ran. Reason I have not posted anything myself is I just lost the motivation to continue trying after my perfect reputation went to negative 3000. Which doing this has pretty much killed any ambition to even open up my live chat support any more.

TL;DR With all being said mmoclub and bitcoinminerz.com are both for sale email [email protected] for specifics. Serious offers only please include your name and a phone. I will not sell either site for any less then $xx,xxx you will get everything from the remaining hosting to the source code and how to properly run the site and the proper connections to supply and drop ship items for you. Each of them require a little maintenance but have huge potential with my own personal proven results.

My last option is a private loan that I would use for debt consolidation. The total amount I would be seeking for this would be 15-25k USD with weekly, bi-weekly or monthly payment options and I would like to get both users paid back and the rest would go towards the  high interest credit cards.  

I Have let a lot of people down in this community and i do apologize. I was a firm believer in bitcoin and still am to this day ,but the IRS, cancer, losing my girlfriend of 6 years who took pretty much everything I had left. This has been a tough year for me but again I am no scammer I just dont have the cash to pay people back yet but it will be within the next couple months. So everyone is aware my full time job Mon-Fri I am currently working 10s and my hourly wage is 28.40 but roughly 60% is taken out because taxes and my wage being garnished.

Send me a personal message or email if you have any concerns or questions I know for certain both users will be paid off before the end of t eyear.

Call my cynical but this just sounds like more stalling / excuses. Ask him to post some of the letters or documents from the irs. He might have got himself into financial trouble with money somehow but that doesn't excuse stealing from others.

On the other hand, the fact that he's still intending to try to climb back and pay everyone back in encouraging.  I think that's a good sign, on the whole.

MMOClub isn't worth anything over $1,000 -- that's probably being very optimistic as it is.

Doubt he would get much for those sites, especially since they are linked to him. Who knows if those sites were also used to take payment and not delivery.

I contacted him and was told the same thing, as well as the following.

"I fully intend to pay everyone back an am selling mmoclub.com and bitcoinminerz.com"

Thanks MZ and hillarious, this explains how QS found that address.

You can use Skype resolver/grabber to get IP but you can prevent this if you want. Eg:- http://skypegrab.net/resolver.php & http://resolvethem.com/.

There are ways to get IP's from Skype sometimes just by knowing the username. Or he probably just contacted deadly to obtain it.

Probably from skype.

The screenshot posted by deadly?  I see that it meantions two domains he owns: mmoclub.com and bitcoinminerz.com.  DNS for those sites resolves to
92.232.216.170, 162.246.56.115, respectively (which are probably IPs for hosting companies, I doubt he hosts his websites at his house).  Where do you get the 70.208.200.218 address?

Look at the post directly above the one you quoted and you can see where I got the information. It is very public.
