Topic: Master-P SCAMMER. I lost complete faith in this forum now. - page 15. (Read 80742 times)

Nope it wasn't me. He messaged me as well

I'm guessing LawtheLaw was you and the PMs regarding the dox were from you
Something over the last 5 pages was just trolling, nearly 70% of the posts in this thread was unneeded.

Only thing is BB is quite unresponsive 

You also can't cross out the possibility that newflesh etc was just bluffing and could've scammed as master-p was the(only one, the seller was allowing) escrow for that deal as well.

i would agree, i think i posted it here or in the other thread somewhere, but im not going to go looking for it. assuming newflesh is his alt, its definite he was amassing funds. the newflesh account claimed to be selling a DT account, which was likely the master-p account, and the other green trust account were some of the green trust account in theymos's list.

shorthand version for theymos and anyone else that doesnt want to sift through the trolling

master-p goes missing for a few days
i contact him on steam because i had him on there from a previous deal
he claims he sold the account back in august, however, there are noticeable holes in his claim and detective work leads to info that points to an exit scam (ie, the account was not sold) that includes, reusing of addresses after august that were used before august, and recently as well, leading to the belief that the same master-p was still in control of the account.
REAL-master-p appears, claims hack after tecshare shows up revealing he has m-p's dox
repays 1.something btc to some of the victims
QS's work finds some of his probable alts
lots of trolling
here we are

probably missed a few things, but the key events are there.

i didnt want to make another post.
two individual people coming to the same conclusion that newflesh was master-p's possible / probable alts leads me to believe that its likely the case though.

Master-P scammed a large amount back in 2014 as well...

Seems plausible. You'd have to ask BadBear about the details of the recovery.

I hadn't known about QuickSeller's list of possible alts previously, so my list is independent evidence.

I haven't read much of this thread and I don't know many details behind this case, so I'm not going to try to draw any defninitive conclusions from this data.

Thanks for stepping theymos, would you say this , as described by QS is what happened? Not questioning him or something but confirmation from you would be great
Edit: By which I am hinting to the fact that he was trying to pull other scams from his alts, a large exit scam at once.

Is this true?  It is good if he's not a minor--for a lot of reasons.  How was it discovered that he still lives with his parents? 

I don't know, somehow his reaction to all of this seems childish.  Then again, it's all lies anyway.

Thanks theymos, this was the most awaited thing.

Holy fuck guys, we were all part of a super good planned scam by master-P.

I think that master-P's account never changed ownership.

His password was changed four times:
2016-01-05 11:37:58
2015-12-17 13:55:10
2015-05-25 15:26:43
2014-10-19 04:07:48
No resets. All of the above changes were done by IPs which geolocate to the same general area. Also, his very first post and his very last post geolocate to the same general area. And for the last several months he's been using mainly the same IP.

Based on IP evidence, these users are possible (not certain) alts of master-p:
REAL-master-p
jeffersonairplane
kooke
MrBig
sifter
iflewtoday32
antonioserrano72
newflesh
AccTraderALT

Use this list as a starting point to see if you can find other links between them. Do not use my list as absolute proof. It is very common for two users to use the same IP at one point or another; 364 users have used the same IP as master-p, and the vast majority of them are not the same person.


Not true

The original master-p account logged in today, and changed his e-mail address right now. Changing e-mail addresses on bitcointalk can only be done by verification of old address, master-p's address was the same "[Suspicious link removed]" just last week, but he change now because people are threatening him. He was never hacked.

He is not a minor, he is in his early 30s still living with his parents. Master-P, return my coins in 24 hours or I will take legal action against you. On top of that, I plan on buying ad spaces in your town to publicly humiliate you and your family.

Cheers

it doesn't have to go to court

merely a police officer showing up at the door "to ask a few questions" would make an amateur scammer - which master-P appears to be - shit their pants more than any online trolling

filing a police report usually costs almost nothing (some time and a little effort) so anyone with more than a few bucks lost should consider that

next is small claims... if there is such a thing in Canada... cheap, no lawyers need to be involved, but might be hard to prove the bitcoin stuff to a judge used to dealing with unpaid bills and such

just don't do any vigilante crap, that can only end badly

Mustn't be considered money. It's something valuable stolen. Similar to paypal money taken from your account. Of course they would have to move in general.

And it doesn't matter that no 100% contract was established. Every judge will see what the purpose of sending the money to master-P was. If he can't proof against the private messages then that is the version the judge will believe. A written contract only is suggested for easier proof. But a spoken contract is valid too and we have even written details in private messages.

No, that is enough to proof that he did not get the coins donated.

Except he lives near that address. It's a not seldom pracitioned scam tactic to let things being shipped to other peoples addresses, then wait for the postman there and claim to be the recipient. Did a postman ever ask you for your id before giving you the package?

Carders do that often.

No, it's not that easy. A contract doesn't need to be written, it can be negotiated by a conversation only. It is only easier to prove having a conversation. And we even have that conversation in the form of private messages. His account is connectable to a living address too. That is enough to claim that the embezzlement happened.

And it's pretty clear what he should do. Escrow is a defined word on here and normally the details are negotiated between trading partners and escrow too.

He can be sued for sure. I only have my doubts that it will happen. The amount is so small that i think it will not happen at all. There are too many people on here who thinks to "not throw good money after bad money". And it's worse with this case. A lawsuit could cost much. Well, it might be possible to let the police investigate for free for the start.

I agree, it is a huge red flag for sure. He wants to pay back but not trying to get his funds back form the "hacker"? He should have given his pc to the internet criminal department of the police and they check it out. Though... they might find out that nothing has happened maybe...

What happen here? Looks like a shit bomb exploded. I would estimate that 95% of the post in this thread is off topic.

Bitcoin is not even considered as money by legal officials...it may not even considered stealing.

You should mind your own business.. this topic isn't locked yet ?
Don't mind me i just came for a "spectacle" 

even though they could, im not so sure the case would sound all that great in court.

'so you guys just... handed the guy 10k dollars in bitcoins without any sort of collateral or written agreement that he will give it back to you guys? and exactly why? you guys are stupid.'

it might go something like that.
also, someone has logged into the master-p account about 6 1/2 hours ago today.
