One thing that would make this more likely to be true, would be if the extortionist was asking for money with that address, and not just "accidently" place ndnhc's addy in that post.
My guess is that the scammer tried to take money from joca97 , and when he failed to do so , he "randomly" placed ndnhc's address in that post.
Example; let's say that someone tries to extort you for BTC, knowing u did something, but just places your btc addy
i know xyz, if you dont send money to 3Gamj7SrTP2adhDGoVKejDZSEJGQnJxK8Y i will expose this and have you banned !
And now imagine if someone accuses you for this...
I wonder did you find that yourself, or did some1 gave you a "tip" about this? 1 second in my sane mind tells me that ndnhc would never do this, especially given the fact that he asks for freaking 0,1 btc !!
Think about it.
cheers
- The address that 'question 2' posted was not actually posted by ndnhc so a small amount of research would have needed to go into linking the address that was posted to ndnhc
- The address was posted in an obscure thread that would likely attract little attention from most people
- The address that was linked to the address that was posted by ndnhc was posted a very long time ago and would be difficult to find with ndnhc's large posting history (over 3,000 posts)
- The above point should be emphasized by the fact that the forum search is currently disabled
- ndnhc is in a position to notice when a user is replying to his own posts as he is someone who counts and judges the posts of participants in the DaDice signature campaign
- ndnhc also appears to be effective at stopping spam within his campaign and as a result, I would be surprised if he did not notice that joca97 was replying to his own posts - if he did notice then I am surprised that he did not take any action against joca97 to stop this kind of spam
- 'question 2' has since edited the post in question so the address no longer matches what it was originally (luckily the page in the thread in question has been archived so the evidence is preserved)
- Overall a lot of effort would have had to be put into framing ndnhc which would have had a low probability of success IMO
I did not receive a 'tip' about this from anyone. 'question 2' had posted in the DaDice signature campaign claiming that joca97 has a lot of alts, was probably trying to get BadBear to look into joca97's alts and was overall trolling joca97. I saw that he had negative trust, saw the reason for the negative trust and reviewed his (very short) post history and found the address. Once I found the address, I used walletexplorer.com to find spend-linked addresses (there was only one) and did a "site:bitcointalk.org" google search for both addresses and found the posts by ndnhc with the spend-linked address.
Furthermore there was a large number of likely DaDice shills that were all defending ndnhc that posted in a very short period of each other (within ~1 hour).
Additionally, somewhat unrelated to the accusation in the OP, however is relevant to the above point, ndnhc continued to blindly back DaDice after it became probable that they are scamming. DaDice was also blindly backed by many of the same people who are defending him in this thread.
