We're called Trusted Escrow Service. Trust's a part of our name.

And that's all you got. Please man, this is not funny alright. A lot of trolls up here. This is not right. Just place yourself in the place of victims, and you realize how painful it is. If you can't help the victims, its not a problem, at least don't troll and dilute the topic.

A bunch of geniuses gave some anonymous/posible minor a bunch of coins to act as an escrow.

That's why I never get tired of telling people: you should always use Trusted Escrow Service.
TrustedEscrowServiceLTD: First of all, we're not minors!TM

What make you so "trusted". Just the fact that you claim to be trusted seams very untrustworthy to me.
I hope you are joking.

i did not read everything here, but he is indeed a scammer or simply his account was hacked or whatever?

and why scamming now when he was escrowing a large amount of bitcoin before? no-sense to me

You need to read the thread or at least skim through the contents of this 49-50 paged thread to understand what actually happened. Its really complicated.

It really isn't complicated at all.

A bunch of geniuses gave some anonymous/posible minor a bunch of coins to act as an escrow.

He did not hold up his end of the bargain. (There are lots of "complicated" explanations for this, but whether he stole the coins himself, or got hacked, or sold the account, or some other nonsense, he did not do what he was supposed to).

He then started following the playbook we have seen thousands of times on this forum for scams, pay back tiny amounts to buy time, and the people ripped off followed the same playbook every other scam victim has of sitting on their thumbs and hoping they will get their money back because they are incapable of taking it back on their own and unwilling to go to tha authorities because of reasons.

In the end I'm sure it will work out just a well as it did for those who sat and hoped Gox, neo and bee, bfl, active mining, black arrow, moolah, pirate, gaw, hahfast, etc.

I guess 2016 is not the year people here stop getting all excited when assholes pay back <1% of the money they owe and give them more time to get away. Maybe we'll stop getting robbed in 2017.

Get away? I have his name and home address. He might even be a minor. What is he going to move to Mexico on $12,000?
If he is really a kid then i would not be comfortable in doxing hiim and releasing it publicly or even making him spend years in jail. But i doubt he is.

So it's all kosher if he's a minor?  Kids are allowed to steal $12k without repercussion?

The above pertains to minors and punishment in general rather than master-p's case in particular, I haven't yet decided what side of the story to believe and it doesn't actually matter what I think so long as people get paid back.

This is the problem with the anonymity that comes with bitcoins and the forum. We have escrows that are trusted but no one knows who they are and they are free to scam at any moment because of that. I know if an escrow gets hacked there is not much we can do but the real owner should have noticed faster and warned everyone so the scammer coulnd't have stole as much as he did.

It really isn't that complicated, but the peanut gallery makes it look that way setting the conversation back every time some one who is too lazy to read the thread shows up and makes an uninformed comment.

If you ignore every signature spammer, then this thread is not more than 6 to 8 pages long.

All of this with signed message and two transaction from "anonymous" offer hound like a big hoax to me.
Such account/identity worth much more than 2BTC. And can be used for a lot bigger scams than 2BTC!

OT: seriously, I have a thread in the long term lending sub-forum where I'm asking anyone to lend me an obscene amount, like 500 BTC. It's called "Bored Loan. Looking for obscene amount, like 500 BTC."

(don't revive it, LOL.)

Hi everyone, I am the REAL master-p.

MY ACCOUNT WAS NEVER SOLD.

It was hacked.

I seem to have gotten keylogged and have lost all my saved passwords including my accounts on bitcointalk, gmail, keybase, etc.

Right now I don't have access to my PGP key, my bitcointalk and gmail account, and my skype account which I seldom use.

I believe I got hacked on the 14th or 15th where I mistakenly downloaded something which may have caused the keylogger/malware to be installed.

I did not know it was a keylogger at the time and then shortly after that I went out of town. After the evenining of the 14th I no longer had constant access to the internet. When I did get wifi I tried to log in to bitcointalk but oddly found that my saved password wasn't working on my mobile. I assume that my mobile was not synced correctly to my desktop's saved password.

After getting back online and seeing all this it now makes sense. I am not currently at home, and I won't be for another week or so.

I can assume my private keys have been exposed as well since it seems like the hacker has gained control of my wallet on my desktop PC. Looks like the hacker may also have access to my steam account now but the password has not been changed as the steam guard has protected me on that front.

It is also safe to assume the hacker has been impersonating me via PMs, e-mail, and even Skype and now has pull off this terrible scam.

At this point is there anything I can do? I have remote access to my desktop. If there's any way for me to remedy this or to change my bitcoin wallet passwords please let me know.

Right now my computer is shut off, I guess a power outage happened but I can get it booted up remotely. I don't want to turn it on though as I assume the keylogger/hacker would gain immediate access to all my info again if he has not already.

Is there a way for me to safely change my wallet passwords without having to log in to my main PC where my Armory wallet is installed?

Guys I'm sorry this happened. I wish I had seen this sooner but I didn't have time to find wifi to sign on while I'm out of town.

I will check back here whenever I can for the next week or so but I can't guarantee any fast responses.

I looked up a few of the addresses and see the funds are not moved, including my tipping address where all the funds are still there. Is there a chance the hacker can't change my wallet password because my computer is turned off, thus unable to move the funds?



Well, at least Mr. Jones filed a police report for being ripped off for $12K while he scrambles to honestly pay everybody back outta his pocket. If not, this SOB needs to be doxxed to hell and back.

I wonder if it's worth making a note at the end of the post that it's a work of satire. Some people seem to be missing the joke.
You should always put a small note at the end. Many people miss the joke. Some people take it seriously. At least put a smiley.

Like this.

Smiley

On the other hand, some things I post about people think are jokes. Like, "Gleb, loan me 500 BTC? I have a thread in the lending section."

Here, try this:

aaaannd it's gone.

I have a thread dedicated to Leroy Fodor when StakeMiners was in its nascent stage, yet closed to 200 folks still joined the now insolvent Ponzi. I'm pretty sure that if them same folks happened to stumble upon that thread honestly believing that they can currently earn a 20% profit, no multitudes of smileys or /s is gonna stop them from at least inquire where to send escrow funds.

That said, don't worry, I'm not gonna fleece anybody via that thread... I mean, I'll make sure that the new owner of Al the Alpaca doesn't fleece anybody.

No, I'd rather sell it on my own as I know the true value of my inventories. Regardless I won't be able to sell anything from my inventory for now due to the 14 day trade lock from changing my password, but it's something I am planning to do in order to be able to pay a more substantial amount in the 3-4 weeks. I don't think I'm obligated to hand over any of my assets for someone else to liquidate just because the community tells me to do so.

Leave that, what about today's payments? You promised to send some money today 2 days back.

Alright, I received 0.2 BTC via TXN ID:

https://blockchain.info/tx/adb92ab20cd7885d233c107bb1af527deecc37b719ca5ddbfae70b8b8ee94647

Mexxer-2 received 0.15 BTC via TXN ID:

https://blockchain.info/tx/b3e76dbd2767811e3b4d29add2b34921035d54add6482fb0685be017b56c31b1

KingZee & yahoo62278 received 0.05 BTC each via TXN ID:

https://blockchain.info/tx/4311a422c46adadbb5a3363c27fd8a4d2650ffa7aa3c594f25af054568e313c1

So, in total, the amount repaid is 0.45 BTC for today.

KingZee please update the OP. I need to be paid 2.8 BTC more. yahoo62278 needs to be paid 6.47 BTC more. You need to paid 0.7 BTC more. mexxer-2 needs to paid 2.38 BTC more.

Order date: 25 November 2013.

Promised shipping date: 24 February 2014.

Status: order not shipped.

Refund: refused.

Update:

Black Arrow is current offering compensation to their customers for being lied to and stolen from in the form could mining. Customers are required to send more money to receive this offer.

Fuck these Romanians and their scam company!

I guess giving Mr. Jones some more time is the wise thing to do.

Well when companies go bankrupt, usually they sell everything right down to the little red staplers.  I don't see this as a bad idea for Master-P to do this so that he can avoid federal pound-me-in-the-ass prison.  And why was it suggested that he might be a minor?  That certainly throws a wrench into things, but I would have to ask:  Why the fuck would a company hire a minor as an escrow???

He may or may not be a minor. Also who said he identified himself to anyone he escrowed for? How would they know he is a minor? I haven't looked into him but I did get some new info recently from another user that leads me to believe he may in fact be a minor, but the torch holding dildos don't have to worry if I get into legal troubles for doxing a minor do they? Nor has anyone considered how this changes the situation. You all think you have it all figured out. The moment you think you know something is usually the second you are wrong.

Who said it's acceptable or appropriate ? but i can't agree to spoil his whole life for one mistake he might have done when he was in puberty.
Kids get thrilled by these things quite readily and if this is a foster care case then it's more worse.

Uh, minors who kill people are called murderers. Minors who steal are called thieves. Minors sometimes have their own version of jail, or juvenile punishment, or maybe even house arrest.

Depending on what the truth is, this guy is either a criminal or incompetent. Or there might be the very small chance he was the unfortunate target of a brilliant hack, despite taking proper precautions. This is not meant as an insult, just an observation.

wait it gets better

assholes can now pay back in hashlets or magic the gathering cards or some online game widgets

As far as his steam account, what I suggest is one of the larger victims of this scenario makes a deal with him to resolve his debt in exchange for his discounted inventory of gift games, virtual items, and anything that is tradable, etc. Since the items could easily be reclaimed by filing a fake complaint with Steam, some time would have to pass before the trade is official and permanent. I believe the window is 190 days for Steam last I checked, but I am not 100% positive. I am sure some one else here who trades virtual items on Steam knows. Then it would be up to the individual debt owners to decide what they think the discount on the virtual goods should amount to in order to make up for the hassle of personally selling them on their own time. In my opinion this would be the most efficient approach to this situation.

I'm not against the idea of selling off the steam inventory in fact I think that's the first thing Master-P should do

the idea that the creditors should be selling it off is ridiculous

why hand it over at a discount if Master-P could sell it off at higher prices and pay off a larger part of the debt?

but let's wait and see what the excuse is going to be this time. So far master-P refused any suggestions that would result in any substantial repayment.
