Hey Twitchyseal,
Sorry I went off on you, I'm still frustrated over getting scammed the other day. The conclusions you've reached could be totally plausible. I wouldn't even be surprised if someone did a legitimate escrow transaction
for 5,000 or 10,000 coins to reel someone in to later scam them on a much larger transaction. What a sick world!! Thanks for letting me know the schemes that go on around here. I do appreciate it.
No worries.
You should really start a thread here. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=83.0
The alt coin scam busters will b e able to figure more out and at least make sure those accouts become worthless.

Dude. When I read your betcoin history, I was all with you, all the time.
I can assure you that you're totally wrong on this. Those guys are no alt accounts of each other; in fact, they're from completely different parts of the world.
I don't like it that you accuse me of being "suspect" (really man, wtf?? I don't even have an alt acc in this forum), just because I'm trying to help here.
I wrote the last post btw because I talk to these guys on a daily basis. And either I'm schizophrenic or they're definitely not the same person. I tend for the latter.
Being cautious is fine and important here. But throwing around false accusations here doesn't help anyone, and - sorry to say it that directly - it only helps to poison the environment here even more.
Fair enough.
Are you chalking it up to coincidence that all of the main suspects were barely active or inactive for weeks or months leading up to week of sept 11th?
CryptoTrout is a hero-member being touted as "trusted escrow"
Do you have any evidence that he is trustworthy (as in doing regular business with another trustworthy user) older than, say, a month?
I admit I'm a total noob when it comes to the world of alt-coins, but not when it comes to scammers.
Why do you trust "them" and why should I trust you to trust them ?
I'f I'm wrong I apologize, and I'll be happy to admit it and hopefully work with you t help get rid of the real scum.
Some users know each other from outside this forum, e.g. those several crypto related chats. And trust each other from there. Even though I'm not sure if it was that someone was guilty unless proven otherwise. Seems common in this forum but it feels wrong to me. But maybe I'm just a little bit weird on this, I don't know.
I also have gaps in my forum activity. Some users just come here when there are interesting projects or other needs which require forum activity, such as a coin which is not traded on any exchange so far.
What I find interesting is that it's only when you're being falsely accused yourself, you start doubting whether lots of "evidence" and Google fu being done in this forum might not be false accusations, too.
I don't feel I have to provide proof for someone being not guilty, just because he's not using this forum regularly and changes his password from time to time. That's not evidence, those are indicators which can be used IF someone actually got scammed by a certain person.
