SolidCoin and Mr Moon are not the same person nor thing.

How do you know that Mr Moon and Coinhunter is not the same person?

Well actually I made a thread warning them over a week ago about the phony whois, which he openly admitted to, his gmail address, .IN TLD, blatantly illegal online gambling in the USA....amongst several other major bas signs.

Maybe it's just me, but when an exchange owner will not disclose his real location or name and is dealing with tens of thousands of USD, that's a huge red flag for me.

Actually it is even more simple: any exchange trading SolidCoins (or some other shitcoins) should be a huge red flag for everyone. Well, one can use it for the usually early investor ripoff - only risking shitcoins in doing that.

This doesn't look like a Government takeover. Those are done by serving a court order on the domain registrar, forcing a domain transfer. That didn't happen here. WHOIS still shows the registrant as "Drake Moon", with a bogus street address. The DNS server for "moonco.in" is DNSEXIT.COM, which is a dynamic DNS service. DNSEXIT has been told to route the domain to "a184-86-115-26.deploy.akamaitechnologies.com" [184.86.115.26]. This is part of Akamai's caching server farm for big sites.

This doesn't mean that "moonco.in" is hosted by Akamai. It looks more like the owner of "moonco.in" pointed it to an Akamai server used for some part of "www.ice.gov". So the SSL cert returned doesn't match.

The basic possibilities are 1) the owner is trying to confuse people, or 2) they signed up for Akamai service to handle a huge amount of traffic. (Many of the top 100 sites on the Internet use Akamai. Few if any low traffic sites do.)

All the ICE takedowns have been at the domain only. If you put the IP and hostname in your /etc/hosts or %WINDIR%/system32/drivers/etc/hosts file, you can still access the sites. There is even a Mozilla plugin (MafiaaFire) that automatically works around it.

My bet is this is faked.

Are you talking about this moonco.in specifically or ICE takedowns in general? Does anyone know the original IP address of moonco.in?

You can't have a "free market" and then cry when the free market kicks you in the crotch and takes your lunch money.

Um, part of the free market involves figuring out what happened and who is good and bad to deal with. It isn't magic paste.

The intent behind it. I am not a believer of 'by any means necessary' or other quips that would make BitcoinExpress' actions okay, if the accusations are true that is.

Another scam & run, scam pops up. Busted red handed by the looks of those certificates.

there might be a way to get your coins back, but for right now, it is best to wait and see how things turn out.

actually i will agree with you there btcexpress, people need to be wary, i didnt have anything of consequence, at todays prices probably less than $25. I thought about removing them and even told people it would be stupid not to, until the solidcoin situation was worked out but that I didnt have enough to matter if it was lost.

here is what a domain normally looks like after being seized

and it's whois

THERE IS A COPY THERE AND SOMEONE ELSE SUGGEST I POST IN BTC DISCUSSION SINCE YOU KNOW MOONCO.IN WAS ORIGINALLY A BTC SITE, AND YOU COULD BET ONLY WITH BTC AND NAMECOINS AND NOT WITH ANY ALT CURRENCY(yes I know namecoin is one technically, how about search the site for it) AND THE EXCHANGE TRADED BTC AS WELL.... BUT IF YOU THINK IT WOULD BE BETTER IF WE KEPT BITCOIN USERS IN THE DARK ABOUT WHERE THEIR BITCOINS WENT THEN BY ALL MEANS HAVE THE THREAD MOVED.

and yeah i had a couple btc there as well. WE all get how much you hate solidcoin and yes it was the biggest solidcoin exchange, but it was mainly a BTC site

No? He took my bitcoins it seems. I thought I withdrew, but I can't find the tx, maybe I didn't or maybe he didn't pay it.
