Topic: Mintpal Exchange (Read 3569 times)
new mintpal? https://exco.in/ looks good..
I deposited $500 of coins literally a few days before the scam was exposed. I managed to get them back, but I think the coins I got were from people who had the misfortune of depositing after me :/
Moolah himself stole the coins, which is what caused the withdraw problems.

So is the incident to the authority or what? Was he caught? Or is he lurking again here?
I had various coins on there. It feels frustrating and there has to be some sort of law to cover the losses of 'hacked' coins.
Mintpal as an exchange seemed to be really easy to use as well.

Anybody able to withdraw altcoins? I type in withdrawal address and nothing happens...
This is a online company; the guy ran this company from his basement (more than likely). It's not a brick and mortar, so what bills could he really have incurred ? file for BK ? LoL
the dude is a weasel and he probably just got hired at BFL

Update:
My balance is showing. It's my understanding some balances are being paid out for alts, but not BTC/XMR.
Still waiting.

After receiving several emails from concerned parties, including former employees, it’s come to light that “Alex Green”, CEO of Moolah appears to be well known internet scammer “Ryan Kennedy”, also known as “Ryan Humble,” “Ryan Gentle,” and many other pseudonyms. A simple Google search will lead you down the path of abuse, fraud and destruction he leaves in his wake.
From the information provided, it is clear that the many people affiliated with this individual were not aware of who they were dealing with. The employees of Moolah, Mintpal, and Dogecoin / SysCoin communities were led to believe this individual was named “Alex Green” and were not aware of his history when doing business with him. It is not believed they were part of any fraudulent or suspicious activity.
This all started after we received an email from an anonymous email address which read:

The initial email was shortly followed by another:
This may remind you of someone from an infamous Skype chat recording:
Going one step further and searching by the @ryantehninja alias:
Moolah.io was not the first time that Ryan raised Bitcoins for a cryptocurrency project and then failed to follow through. In April of 2013 he announced the formation of Crypto.pm. The website’s design and investment offering are essentially identical to the Moolah PIE investment offering: https://web.archive.org/web/20130501045223/https://crypto.pm/invest. He claimed to have suffered a heart attack and received death threats, similar to the serious health problems and death threats Alex Green claimed to have experienced, and then disappeared. According to comments in a scam accusation thread on Bitcointalk, he was accused of taking over 500 BTC: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=176756.0;all
Shortly thereafter, the anonymous contact sent what is ultimately the final nail in the coffin in determining that who we know as “Alex Green” is not who they say they are. This image has been confirmed by several individuals who have met “Alex” in person.

apparently you can't even trust that his name is what he says:
http://mintpal.exchange
http://mintpal.exchange
Mintpal exchange has not responded to my emails requesting to withdraw my XMR (over 1,000) and the site is now down and "Moolah" filed for bankruptcy.
I have some coins there too. Hard to know what is going on. The only information is coming from Alex Green and it looks like anything he says can't be trusted. 
I hate to see these exchanges go belly up, as it's bad for crypto in general. I've been much more vigilant in keeping the bulk of my coins off exchanges ever since the gox insolvency.
What part of their tweet today ("Moolah is having to close its doors. So long and thanks for all the fish.") don't you get? They thanked you for all of your coins. I'll wager that my coins are gone, your coins are gone and everyone else's coins are gone.....
