Same boat as Tabata: user newflesh (https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/newflesh-157072) contacted me for a 3 btc trade proposing Master-P as escrow. Was a bit doubtful about this but in the end agreed (hate I'm always right with first impressions...).
Newflesh was very communicative and ready to send out the sepa before I sent the btc then suddenly stopped answering as soon as I sent.

Master-P answered me that he was going to refund me tomorrow if still no answers from the counterparty, but given the situation it's not looking good.

Same boat as a lot of us. Username: iflewtoday32 (https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/iflewtoday32-343767), we started a trade for his PM for my BTC. I recommended Mitchełł (https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/mitchell-113670) as escrow. But, iflewtoday32 contacted master-P and setup the deal. Seeing the trust, I was okay with it. So, this was the conversation:

Sure, I can help with this transaction. I've included the other party "grtthegreat" in this PM. Please use the "Reply to all" function when replying to the messages whenever necessary.

Please confirm the terms with each other via PM and include me in each response so I know how much I should be expecting to escrow, any specific release terms, etc. Thanks

Signed message and escrow address below:

Hash: SHA512

Sure, I can help escrow this transaction.

Buyer can send funds to the following address: 18PJHZTTPvcWrpBMnFStgyuphpvuwTgT3k

I will release payment to seller upon both parties' confirmation.

I do not charge any fees for escrowing standard two-party transactions.

Unfortunatelly all you can do is sit and wait for him to reply. As many have mentioned the fact that he has you btc in the same adress is a very good sign. Just be patient.. I hope everything will end up perfect for you..

Someone just posted that the master-p account was bought around August..

Time to grab some popcorn

well hot damn

someone needs to remove him from default trust list first to prevent anymore damage and tag him red

i agree with you. no matter how it ends this situation, I think it is not for trust list, it can be seen that he was online but no sounds from him about this problem.

Well... Substrata isn't going to provide any info to the public Cry

Which is very selfish of him, I think.

Or.. very thoughtful of him. He has offered to send the information to DT 2 members, and he has sent it to Shorena, who has tagged the account accordingly.
The proof might be manipulated if posted publicly, is my guess

SO MUCH THIS.

why is your service not much more popular??

this should be a great lesson to all. from now ill use multisig escrows ONLY.

The problem is that I am not trusted escrow provider. There are much more reputable and experienced providers here. Wink

The real man of the account sold his account "master-P" to an imposter .
Sorry man to all who lost but a highly trusted person said and confirmed this man is an imposter . The real man is behind the scene (with his alt) or lost forever.

I tagged it as sold on the man's feedback page

Now I think the owner of the forum needs to start escrow ( in case this comes out to be a scam ) , because I personally have lost trust in trusted members, maybe owner is best one ..

I might not ever escrow another payment honestly.

I might never f***** exchange currency ever again..

I feel you there! It's extremely bad for bitcoin overall as well.

Situations like this will happen again and again... as long as you guys will be looking for escrows a trusted third party (which is come from fiat money not bitcoin!), with MultiSig escrow you don't even need to wait for the escrow agent to come on-line and release Your funds, you can do it by yourself.

I was still contacting Master-P through his email and in our Slack group at August + He still sells his keys.
I doubt it was bought last august.

Since that he hasn't spent any funds on his escrow address, plus that it's holiday season... Should probably give him some more time to sort this incident out.

Make what you guys can of my last PM conv. with him. For someone who risked his own money just to make the payments for sig campaign faster, I believe master-p is quite trusted.

Quote from: master-P on December 24, 2015, 07:59:35 AM

Hey there. Sorry again for the delay. I know it took a lot longer for me to get to these payments this time. For some reason I kept getting the "high S value" error when trying to send payments to the addresses you provided me. Tried installing different versions of bitcoin core but no luck. So I went ahead and bought some BTC from circle to fill the payments without holding you back any further. I will deduct the appropriate amount from the escrow address later once I figure out this issue that's preventing me from send some payments.

tx: https://blockchain.info/tx/1f52573c1cc11338cefbebac6a13da4fd3e979a5505f1321e71a83f4bf0cbf0d

Also, I'll be away this weekend for family gathering but should be back by Monday so there shouldn't be any further delays in payments as I've already moved my wallet to a new stable PC.. My apologies in advance for any delayed responses since my internet access will be quite limited while I'm out of town.

Happy holidays!

I believe he may just be AFK due to the holidays. And if any trusted member(Sho or any DT 2 member) wants to have a look at my PMs , they can.
Edit: He is still holding the 2.8BTC at the escrow address

He is holding my coins in escrow... No communication from him for a day but he's been on multiple times today... Let's wait to see what happens...

A lot of people are saying that he is very busy. He is escrowing multiple sig camps and also escrowing for individual people. Just wait and you will get your Bitcoin.

He also PM'd several times to wait another 20 mins, 30 mins and so on and went of the grid for hours not answering PM's while going off and online... if you hold somebody's money the least he could do was answer all PM's.

Yes, the address I was given hasn't also spent any of my coins.

If he has not spent your coins then the chances are lower that he is pulling a runner. It was not long ago that he was having problems with armory and needed to download the blockchain again. If that is still the case then I would not worry, although I would not engage in additional escrows until he can get the blockchain downloaded and release the escrows that he needs to release.
