Topic: Note fraudster and extortionist! (Read 4593 times)
Just leave some negative trust rating for this guy, if you're sure that he's a possible scammer.
Anton,
It's obvious I can not mention the exchange because they have not given me permission to reveal it.
As for your IP it was obtained from Apache logs on the exchange. This should be obvious as well considering I posted the logs in your first Russian thread.
It should also be obvious that I am not trying to scam you. There is no scam here. Either you're really stupid, or you're playing a very good game publicly to deflect your guilt.
Either you stole the BTC or you didn't. If you did, return them and thats the end of the story. If you didn't then you need to seriously figure out how your IP address was used to commit a crime. Do you understand this? I wish I studied Russian in school so I can best convey to you exactly what's going on but apparently we are having an issue of miscommunication.
Any Russian/English speakers want to translate to him what I am saying to help him understand what is going on?
You are a member of an exchange that was hacked. Your IP, the same IP used to log into your 'pendalf2008' account was used to steal BTC. The IP, UserAgent and login times all match and point to you. Is this hard to understand? This is a clear indication you either did it, know who did it, or someones putting a lot of effort into framing you.
If it wasn't you, then work with me to figure out who did it. But screaming and crying SCAMMER about someone who has provided you research and logs isn't a smart move. It also doesn't help and or look legit when you have your friends on the forum defending you as well. It simply looks like you are all apart of the plot.
At the end of the day, I don't care for this melodrama. I really don't. I was hired to track down the attacker. And it points to you.
To answer your questions:
"And the main thing from another. Why yours myphic "exchange" do not write first to my mail?"
Because they had asked me to get involved. I sent you the initial emails to hopefully awaken you from the dream that you would get away with the attack.
"You telling me that "hack was made from my account", and to whom this exchange must write first at all?"
I don't get your question. But the exchange will not be revealed yet. And the account username is pendolf2008. I also provided the IP addresses in the other thread and in emails.
If you have any questions email me and we can discuss it, or message me here. Or answer your phone when we call you. That's pretty much that.

Lira,
I'm not impressed by your threats - especially when the the situation is clear as day that I've doxed a BTC thief, and the only thing I tried to do is motivate him to return the coins he has stolen.
I have done nothing whatsoever to indicate this is a scam. I am not looking for him to send me his measily satoshis, but rather, return the BTC he stole. That's the reality. I'm sure he will pay you nicely once he gets away with the steal. Which makes you an accomplice in this situation.
In any case I am done with responding. I will allow the Exchange to handle this through the authorities. Anton, I wish you luck. Hope you have a nice lawyer to help you through the legal situation.
Cheers!

The reality is that you only told that i "stole" some coins, but dint told from where, didnt told to what wallet. Everything you told - is my IP, that you could take from many places, which was hacked (etc btcsec.com). My ip is dinamic, but it does not changed if I pay for Internet in time. And it does not changed from aughtm. Where is the proves that my ip have any attitude to your "myphic" crime? Your logs in theme is nothing, becouse there are no link to "hacked" exchange. This is first. The second thing, is your call to me today. You speek russian whithout any akcent whith my relatives, and try to spoke with "english" akcent to me. After that you are not a scammer? I will write to our police and we will find you phone number. Dont worry, I will find you, if there be no war in Ukraine...
And the main thing from another. Why yours myphic "exchange" do not write first to my mail? This quetion is so obvious, that I do not asked it first at all. You telling me that "hack was made from my account", and to whom this exchange must write first at all?
So the resume is - you are a lier, scammer and fraudster
Damn...what a crazy situation. Get some lawyers involved and the situation should resolve rather quickly.

For anyone interested in the actual story: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.5689896
This newbie found a bug on an exchange from his home IP. Ends up stealing a decent amount of Bitcoins. I track him down and confront him. And now he is diverting attention by trying to distort my reputation.
He's sitting on a lot of Bitcoins, and we have his complete dox and logs to prove what he did. Now he's claiming that his wifi was probably cracked, or he has a trojan on his computer.
I don't think he realizes the extent of legal issues he's throwing himself into over greed.
Cheers.
Ok. show here my dox and yours logs. But dont cut from logs the exchange on which you "works". Do it, or you can only telling "I heve your ip. You stole coins. Bla bla bla"?

Several hundred.
The exchange is willing to offer him a reward for returning the coins, and not forward his dox to authorities and not expose his complete identity. But apparently he'd rather run with the risk of riding this out. Until of course he gets raided. He thinks this situation is a fun game.
Going to sleep now.

How many BTCs have he stolen? Just curious about it.

So. This man was not reassured. He find my home phone number, apparently from sites with resume for work or scientific articles. Does not matter. He called me and woke. I only hear that he and Andrew from "USA." And trying to speak wiyh "American" accent. If it is true - for what he on his twitter yesterday searched the man speaking in Russian / Ukrainian? 
I check my messages onforum and get next:
If read this the git visiting is an big crime. I dont now what he write in letter and what is that git. From git i dowlond onl apecoin sources, cgminer, mpos and stratum-proxy...
Another message:
VPS / VPN / PROXY - this is how I understand the technology to ensure anonymity. So how he get my ip? From space maybe
I answer to him:
On what in answer I get two messages

Here we already have an agression... I answer to him:

So now he told about some logs... I did not understand where he posted them, but this seems funny...

I read your posts on btcsec.com and although amusing I find it offensive you're putting me in the same bracket as you.
Perhaps it is hard for you to understand. But SOMEONE be it you, or your neighbor, or someone in your home, USED your IP address to attack an exchange. I was hired by the exchange to do forensic work.
In my research I discovered your IP address initiating the attack, and switching to a german VPS/VPN/PROXY.
Your same IP lead to your username pendalf2008.
And hence how I got the rest of your information.
So, where do we go from here? Do you admit you stole the coins? Do you tell me who did in fact steal the coins FROM YOUR IP ADDRESS?
Or do we contact authorities?
Your move.

First at all, I will tell you why you a spammer:
1. You dont telling the sum of "stolen" bitcoins
2. You forgetting to tell adress on which thay was "stoled"
3. Intersting, how could you "get the IP", if it switch VPS/VPN/PROXY, by your worlds? Lie again
4. Etc...
Dy Ukrainian laws your process of collecting my personal information is a hard crime. I will repost all this massages in themes, that I created on this forum and btcsec. And will create new theme in English branch. People must know about that you are crime...

You are trying really hard to sound convincing but here is the problem:
We literally have logs of you attacking an exchange, stealing the money and logging back into the exchange to check random balances.
Had you fucking responded to me from my first email we would have discussed the situation instead of you ignoring me and posting on BTCSEC. If you aren't involved in the hack, then clearly someone on YOUR IP ADDRESS did.
So, with that being said your response is complete and utterly idiocy.

Again - you did not told two main components - on which btc adress was stolen bitcoins, and the summ.
This is not all reasons why I thinking that you a spammer. The first one is that I DONT KNOW ABOUT YOU SAYING. I DIDNT STOLE ANY bitcons or other coins from anywhere.

Clearly someone used your IP to steal BTC. Either it was you, or your girlfriend, or your mother, or your neighbor. Someone FROM YOUR IP stole BTC.
Is this hard to understand? I posted logs of the attack into your thread since you seem so sure that I'm a spammer/scammer. How about you research who I am first. I run a security project for Bitcoin exchanges. I help exchanges recover stolen Bitcoins. I help exchanges fix security problems.
You're looking like a real idiot by claiming I am a scammer/spammer/whatever. I didn't ask you for your personal measily BTC. I asked for the BTC that was stolen FROM YOUR IP.
If you did not do it fine. Tell me who did it. Obviously you must know the person.
Check the attack logs. Check the IPs. It all POINTS TO YOU Anton.
So either work with me, or answer to authorities.

1. How did he know my mail from the beginning? On specialized forums it is closed, to get it would be only by hacking the site (which incidentally observed in autumn on btcsec). Ie This fellow could be involved in breaking the forum. Another option receive mail -he could hack someone of fork pools, I used this mail on many of them. There he could also take my ip....

2. From what he took that I "stole" the money? What the cryptocurrency system are now works by e-mail? Ie he is just a extortionist
Why am I writing all this - to ensure that such ghouls could not develop their resources "support" network, simply fooling people. And I ask the administration somehow punish member se[c].
