Topic: MCXNow Shutting down (Temporary) - page 13. (Read 23954 times)

Sorry to be dancing on your graves but i have said it before: anyone buying into a 'currency' (McxFEE) that's issued and controlled by one entity, an entity with a track record of scammy actions, well he/she is just a blatant idiot.

What is the backstory on this pic?

So sad to see those desperate people in the mcxnow chatroom, trying to keep there spirits up.  One guy even asked if he can still deposit his btc there.  Delusional.

He is psycho definitely, no sane man could act as he does.

Hey, does anyone remember the photo that he posted of his tooth? Does anyone have a copy of that image? I never took a look at the metadata on that file. There might be something there. Possibly a gps coordinate of his home.

Damn. I found it. http://i.imgur.com/eITMwYh.jpg

However, it's imgur and they strip the EXIF data. It is logged however and they will release it with a subpoena.

He can certainly change his handle, but solidcoin, mcxnow, or anyone affiliated with any of his established brands - I will avoid.

Cheers.

Do you know his real name?  If not they you probably will do business with him in the future just under a new pseudonym.  Scammers love marks and once they find a pool they won't stop coming back.  Hell even if you DO know his real name the fact that you went into "business" with a totally anonymous person means you probably will do "business" (wealth transfer from you to him) in the future.

Well can't say this was unexpected.  Still those who are claiming it is all legal to sell $12M worth of unlicensed securities without proper disclosures (a short PPM for a startup is generally 60 to 100 pages) and shut up shop less than a month later I have to ask WTF?

I mean what are you smoking?  Of course it isn't legal.  Then again NO bitcoin based security is legal HOWEVER generally securities agencies really only look for fire where there is smoke.  So if they don't get complaints they don't go looking.  Pretty sure securities agencies in Australia would be pretty interested in a $12M securities sale and company closure within a month.  Still given the history of Bitcoin scammers he may certainly get away with it, but stop with the "everything is 100% legal to steal $12M under false pretenses".


Before someone says "fee shares" aren't securities, don't make yourself look stupid.  They are called revenue share contracts and yes they are securities in just about any country.  http://www.bolstr.com/

I have owned some (not the stupid MCXFee shares real ones in franchises) and they are most certainly regulated.  RealSolid sold unlicensed securities.  That is a crime even if there was no other underlying crime.  The nature of the sale, insider trading, and shutdown certainly indicates it is more than just unlicensed securities but even IF it was just unlicensed securities that is a crime.  Period.   The reality is security laws exist to protect the issuer as well.  If facebook was an unlicensed security in the early days nobody would care.   Who is going to complain when to the SEC when your $1,000 investment is now worth $10,000,000.  However most business ventures fail and when they fail (even legitimately) people are unhappy.  The black and white terms of security offering and disclosure seek to indemnify the issuer against normal business failures (but not fraud).

I can say with firm confidence that I will never knowingly do business with RealSolid or anyone that I know does business with him. I will not work with anyone so unprofessional and careless with other people's trust. I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way. So take that as a warning. If you do business with him, then you are dead to me and a lot of other potential customers.

Those supporting him have to. If they don't their shares are worth 0. If they have dreams maybe they will get a little back. That does not make it anything except a scam, but they can't have been burned as bad as you've been yelling.

BTW, here's in the Amazon AWS abuse page if you are interested. See the nice part at the bottom about how to contact them with a subpoena?

I you are going to report him to Australian law enforcement, make sure you get his DNS record and print out the cooresponding ARIN whois info. They can get his identity from Amazon for those servers that he rented. Need this before his site completely disappears.

I think you're right. Now when were you going to turn your attentions to Cryptsy?

'The greatest trick the devil ever played was convincing the world that he did not exist.'  -- Charles Baudelaire

The social engineering part was when he made so many people persuading each other about mcxFee.
BTW earlier today I've been surprised to see how many people still believing in him and willing to wait for his second coming in 1 to 3 month time... Cognitive dissonance I guess.

yes The Australian Tax Office might investigate when I have time I send them some polite announcement. Realsolid will be surely glad to speak to them in person.

Temporary (real) or not, no one will ever trust MCXNow as a legitimate exchange again.  He just did a nuclear bomb to his credibility, which was already in question.  Thankfully, I never put more than I could afford to lose there for this very reason and questioned his whole long term lack of redundancy and his resistance to want to pursue fiat since it would have required him to register for legitimate business licenses and regulatory oversight.  Something he could have easily pursued and paid for with the funds that were raised for the fee shares.

Well played scamming the BTC.

I think he planned this from very beginning. he is ugly scammer (he did all with accordance with law because he does want to enjoy his millions and not go to prison but it is clear that its scam)

RS 's latest and greatest words!!! "i would fucking clock 80% of the users on this exchange i think" --- WOW is this the guy anyone ever really should trust to hold anything...
