Topic: Mooncoin taken over by the feds? (Read 14993 times)

aye, good to recall the past lest we condemn ourselves to repeat our same mistakes.  It would be nice to see Mybitcoin brougt back up as well.

Hard to say if anyone botherd. My interest was purely to help people who would wish to take legal action determine who the moon person was. I'm not sure that any one lost any significant amounts to motivate them to take legal action.
Of course the other thing is, if one were to be tied up in some sort of civil matter they may not be able or desire to speak about it here.
Anyone who lost money here care to chime in?

I think its kinda funny how abruptly the thread just ended.

Damn I wish this person would have gotten caught.

Did noone involve police or fbi?

So is this over now? did anyone get any compensation? Did we find the guy?

Why would you say that? You should give the thread a read before jumping to conclusions.

This was a classic case of a scammer who stole Bitcoins (and Solidcoins, but that chain was shut down and yet to restart). Mr Moon tried to make it look like his site was hacked, but he fumbled that ruse quite badly. Now people are trying to determine his identity in order to recover damages.

Seems like the Bitcoin mafia & mob don't want the other coins to succeed.

Mr Moon will be in jail one day for beating up a person who was trying to sell his artwork but not this crime lol

 Aye, the last one at least likely saves one the trouble of a vital stats search. Parents, Tina and Jesse Verdun. As pointed out a few pages back from CV's blog posting in 2003 about a car issue and asking his father to fix it. His parrents own Jesse's Radiator shop in Ventura. I do however find it odd that I don't recall reading much in CV's blog about an older brother. Though at that age ones mind tends to be more localy fixed. GF, Car, Evil parents trippin on ya. ;p


I am sure his brother has advised him not to communicate here further but he thinks he is smarter than every one else, so who knows.

Just come clean, Christian...
 

One of CV's old merchant sites had an address that can be linked to Andre.

Someone more bored than I will need to check vital statistics to see if they are brothers. You have both of ther DoBs... But, I can atest to Andre Verdun the wrestler being Andre Verdun the San Diego attorney.

Have to make up your own damn minds and/or do some more research from there.

CV's mother's myspace page lists a YouthSuicide as one of her top friends.
CV also complained about his family being harassed after an email was sent to Andre.
You could wander through the #solidcoin IRC logs for Freenode.net and find a lot more stuff.

Any proof that he's the same guy as the lawyer as CV's brother?

He was. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Youth_Suicide

I'm wondering if CV's brother was a wrestler.

All you need to do is register your domain offshore so ICE can't take it. No GoDaddy or other popular US domain registrars. Servers should also be far away from US MLAT treaty.. failing that any Euro country or host that respects privacy and resists simple takedown orders like prq.se

Liberty Reserve exchangers and other e-gold type IBCs that have been around for 20+yrs all know never to host anything financial related in the US unless you want everything eventually seized. Especially if you're promoting online gambling like mooncoin guy was doing.. recipe for disaster

Looks like this guy was scamming anyways and ICE wasn't remotely involved

Three things to think about here... first off, the citation that you make covers only those communications made for purposes of harassment. No judge in the world, not even California, will permit anybody to hide behind that from those who are pursuing a legitimate obligation to them by someone who has been identified as the person behind a fraud. Can't use legalese to shelter criminal activity. Sorry.

Secondly, it is interesting that you would state that you would do a "quick google/lexis nexus search and find out more about you." I assume you meant a LexisNexis search, the access to which is a very closely controlled system, and misuse of it for purposes other than the narrowly defined parameters established by law, most specifically the FFCRA would land you solidly into stalker land. And that, dear readers, will most certainly get the UC Davis police, your local police; and going across state lines, even the FBI involved. Interstate electronic stalking IS understood by every law enforcement official in the country, and they have established procedures to deal with it. You want to find yourself treated like the perps on To Catch a Predator, you just go right ahead and abuse LexisNexis to "find out more about people", or better yet, have your brother the lawyer do it. Can you say disbarment? Can you say sanctions? Can you say what a crappy Thanksgiving it will be at your house with the two of you under indictment for really stupid behavior?

And third, consider if you will those self same California Codes in respect to a citizen's right to protect themselves, their family and their property. Up to and including the right to reasonable forcible restraint of a suspect in a crime. Hell, the law specifically protects an intended victim when he takes action to prevent criminal action against himself, and requires law enforcement officers to assist in the apprehension and prosecution of the criminal thus apprehended.

Come clean, do your proper mea culpas and return the ill-gotten fruits of your theft to the rightful owners, or start helping find your real mr.moon. Hey, somebody might even believe you one day... it worked for OJ.

Anyone has the right to contact you to collect the debts that you owe to them. In fact, it is a prerequisite for lawsuits to first contact you for payment.

Golly, I was noticed by a Genuine Hero Member!

Why pick this thread? No particular reason. I happened upon it looking for a support thread on an alternate currency, read it and felt inspired to remark.

Why the 23 day vacation (and don't I wish it had actually BEEN a vacation!)? As above, no particular reason, I was mostly on a laptop in the intervening time, and didn't have my login on it, and with real world business responsibilities, just didn't take the time. As to great content... well, just like my ex-wife, judgement is best reserved for the eyes of the beholder, I write, you decide. But like like any self-respecting knee-jerk reactionary out there I will rise to the rhetorical bait when offered the opportunity. Want to paint me with shades of mr.moon colors? I have to offer a cogent response. Perhaps even one that that will stand up to the scrutiny of the Gee Whiz Super Dooper Secret Investigator Club that is able to find all 11 posts by a given nick and leap to conclusions therefrom.

Did I miss a requirement in the newbie training that says we aren't supposed to have opinions about tacky behavior, like stealing and abusing trust? I was so busy picking up trash along the expressway for my Community Service time, I might have fallen asleep in the back of the lecture.

Special Bonus Hint: For all you forensic didactic diagnosticians out there, take careful note of my use of the word "expressway". Your Regional Colloquialisms Handbook will indicate that my reference to an inter-urban paved transport path as such, will give a clear indication as to my linguistic roots, and support that whole IP resolution thing. Had I been from California, I would have called it a "freeway". Wicked clever Machiavellian thought right there, for damn sure.

Somebody help me with an issue I'm having!

I can't understand how somebody who wrote as their first post,...


...posted 7 times in the newbie section (had to pen at least 4 or 5 posts, plus community service of 4-5 hours), once on Alternate Cryptocurrencies, and the last 4 posts on this thread.


I read well written content, but the timing of joining this board and opting where to post after serving Newbie time--and a 23 day vacation--has me puzzled.

Please set me straight with your comments.

I once copied a VCR tape and gave it to a friend for his friends to view. Luckily I wasn't caught like SO MANY OTHERS who are probable still sitting in prison. Tomorrow, I'm going to press my luck and copy a song off the internet and play it in my truck with the windows open.

BRB!

I'm back. The lights went out so I took a $1.00 bill out of my wallet and lit with a match to use as a light to see where I have going. It worked so well, I did it again.

I also once put a quarter on the rail tracks to have a train flatten it.

I'm such a rebel!

How often people even charged much less found guilty of every instance of the offence they've committed in these cases and how often is the maximum possible penalty applied against every instance, though?
