So he was paying before some days ?
May be this man had some real problems with his wallet and now the problem is so big that he cannot access his wallet and the man donot have extra funds in his own pocket to refund or repay.

LMAO 1btc for the account ... seems legit 

Sad times when you sell a default trusted account for peanuts. A few hundred dollars! It was always going to end up with the community being f'ed over for that small price.
You handed him the keys to escrow 5-10-15+ btc. That is a terrible thing to do to the community. There must be some good in you to not have scammed the escrowed funds which is not that much good because you let someone else do it instead.
Now he walks away with 10+btc and you get doxxed.
Possible fake sale.

What happened with me is in a this thread:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/master-p-possible-scam-how-i-got-scammed-1306734

Hold it now. You mean you sold all of your reputation for 1BTC? You could easily have asked for a loan and then repaid later  
Over 8 BTC for sure

This was 7-8 days back https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.13309947, he apparently had some problems with his blockchain of some sort but then he came back and re-paid the guy and I believe the escrow was for 1 BTC and he made a signature payment after that too, now if he was planning to run away, why would he pay those?? I am going to hope that he'll come back and pay everyone.

BTW, how much BTC does he has in escrow right now in total?

Yes, of course anything is possible, but still this is a hard link to him. It includes a last name and first initial as well as his full mailing address, steam ID, and e-mail. I can probably get a lot more with a little research (which I haven't bothered to do yet).



I second this observation, as I talked to Master-P via steam and asked him to send a PM for me to another user around September 4th because Badbear had banned me for bringing too much heat on his butt-buddy Quickseller by pointing out how he was removing comments Quickseller reported as "off topic" (read critical of him). There is a good chance he maintained control of this account even after he claims he sold it.

It's bad because it feeds into, no regulation, no protection, is it worth the time etc... If I lost 3,4,5 BTC in ONE Day because of something like this? I'd be done with BTC totally. So in my opinion that's why it's bad for bitcoin. If you don't have legitimate users for the coin, it's not going to be worth having. I seen master-p's name posted by different users in this forum daily, if you can't trust a user with his reputation to escrow? I mean seriously, people would be gunshy right now to escrow with "theymos" or "Satoshi Nakamoto" themselves... j/k of course, but you get what I mean. I just see the marketplace going nuts now, "no you send first", "I'm not sending first you crazy", "Well I'm damn sure not using escrow".  So for me, if you can't trust spending BTC on anything or anywhere? what good is acquiring BTC? Which again is a whole other mine field in itself these days if your not hooked up with a bank account to an exchange. This is just my opinion of course, I have only been scammed on a couple small transactions, so no big deal to me, but to possibly lose what's at risk of being lost today? No way is it worth it in my opinion, and it's just that... my opinion nothing more. I just think bitcoin at some-point is going to be only sought after by online scammers, criminals and con-men if normal consumers loose their faith in it. Which is the basis for any currency FAITH, once that's lost it's over, and I definitely lost little faith today and I didn't even have any BTC at risk. Scammers will be happier today also because now they'll be able to talk people into sending bitcoin first because? "look what happened with master-p".

Bought some keys from him on the 2015-10-01 , when i contacted him here he asked me to contact him on Steam, so we dealt there.

So i'm guessing both of them are in cahoots (real master-p and 'not' real master-p)

You are speaking about 2014 and this is 2016 ? he might have been moved twice in the mean time.

Secondly if the New Owner refunds the coins then i can accept his account sale if he seriously needed that money.But yes this is something that i will keep in mind. Hard times are very unpleasant.

This was right after he started his account in 2014. He used a purchase from me to build his trust. The likelihood of it being his real dox is very high. IMO if he has no regard for the community then I don't see why I should have any regard for his privacy.

It is also a very big chance that his account was never sold (the "buyer" is Master-p by himself)... To avoid such scam, I think every escrow provider must receive enough money for their job or we all should start to use multisig escrow.

Things seem to go quite smoothly until today(last three days). All the BTCs still seem to be in the respective escrow addresses, so I'm still hoping the new owner of the account may be a bit sensible. I'm going to wait until monday(according to the PM thats when he should be "back"). I just wonder how yahoo is going to deal with it.
Real one I'd say.

Real master-P or the new buyer ?

Nope, 100% real.

escrow.ms , although he may have had some questionable members in his trust list in the past, the whole DT network , more or less is his trust list.
Ask that to subSTRATA/shorena.
Was that just an ironical comment?

He is escrowing the funds of this campaign

[ DO NOT POST SESC LINKS ] DO NOT POST SESC LINKS [/url]

Master-p is not a new to everyone especially to those who used multiple times his service but is happening now? Seems Escrow Is Dead

I see, so the keepers of the default trust want to take responsibility for giving people the privileges of default trust to a very small group of people within their buddy system, yet no one wants to take responsibility for it when they are negligent and or blatantly adding con artists over and over (see Quickseller). They want the benefits of controlling the default trust like excluding people with years of solid trading history because they don't agree with their opinions over people who will tell them whatever they want to hear just long enough to rob them. People need to be taking notes on which default trust members are the ones linked to and enabling these cons by trusting these users and start confronting them over their negligence. So who gave Master-P his default trust position? Why is this story being believed just because he says so? Is it not 100% possible he is just claiming it was sold?


(P.S. I have Master-P's real dox for sale to the highest bidder, PM me. Sorry Master-P, hard times, need the money )

This is not the first case where an escrow has been involved in a shady deal. It has happened before as well. Few days back I had 2 escrows in mind master-p and sebastian but now that I've got to know that escrows too sell their account, I have lost faith in this community. I don't blame all but I trust NONE. I never before wanted to use an escrow as it was hard for me to trust an unknown person, then I started using escrows due to buyers insisting on the same but now it's all done and dusted. Escrow is a big No for me as reputation is bought and sold here. It's completely my decision and you may agree to disagree with me.

Don't want to derail this topic and hence am out.
