Topic: Problems with Matthew N. Wright (Read 7039 times)

You are absolutely correct. That's why I worded my post the way I did.

However, I have now seen the emails. I'm in agreement with you, Goat. I see no restrictions on what you are allowed to say after the settlement, other than the implicit fact that you can no longer say that the matter isn't settled. I believed them enough to unlock this thread and post that message because many settlement agreements do have such conditions. If neither party objects, I will now re-lock this thread. As the OP, Goat, you can of course still post. If BitTalk Media would like to post again, however, please PM any online mod and they will happily unlock this thread for you if you let them know that I said they could.

A statement on behalf of Bitcoin Magazine.

Goat ordered ads, subscription and website. After that he behaved very unprofessionally,  even childishly, while repeatedly obstructing our efforts to deliver the service he paid for. He then went public with libellous accusations, changed his mind way too many times, wasted significant amount of our time.

We have refunded him all his money and we have agreement with Goat on full and final settlement of this matter.

We refuse to have any business with this person in the future.

Bitcoin Magazine is a very young start-up business, we will review and improve our procedures based on our experience with this incident.

As per:
I am authorized to unlock this thread.

Apparently, Goat, your post is in violation of your agreement. I am allowing people from BitTalk Media to provide a rebuttal, if they wish.

This

I think it's pretty clear who's "right" in all this, and that goat just appears to be severely mentally handicapped.

The guy's an utter prick.

*goes back to delete all his posts to this thread*

Really they should never have responded on the forums at all beyond a simple we have emailed you concerning this matter. Everybody in this thread looks bad at this point. Hopefully lessons were learned.

I did notice it hasn't been sent yet though. http://blockexplorer.com/address/1Yj6hiWeLL8pxCtCVrtfpNFKhrJUwjT5d

BitTalk Media:

I'm concerned that the funds haven't been sent yet. I expect to be given a reason why within 48 hours. If I don't hear back from you in a day, I'll contact you over more official means.

Personal information would be your address, phone number, etc. None of this was released and even if so, you agreed to full and final settlement. Do you understand what that means? There will be no further communication from the magazine to you. This matter is closed as far as we are concerned.

Last point I remember this getting stuck on was the magazine asking "Please email us the amount that you believe you are due, and confirm that that's everything we owe you," to which Goat replied "No *FLAIL-WHINE-TROLL*"

I hate to say it, but I really feel like this is going to hurt and discredit bitcoin magazine as a journalistic entity. Its really unfortunate that this type of discussion became hostile.

Goat, if it was a tactic on your part to keep cool while the Vicente lost his head I say "well played, sir", but I don't that that is the case.

I really think Goat realizes, like many of us, bitcoin magazine is a good thing for everyone in the community and despite his attempts to resolve this in a diplomatic manner he has been met with hostility in virtually every reply.

Once this is resolved I propose that we consider deleting this thread. (with everyone's permission).

I don't have a dog in this race other than the desire to see bitcoin succeed. I hope you will both consider my proposal.

Provide proof the magazine has ever released any information to the public. I am pretty sure you've been doing all of that entirely on your own.

If you're talking about redacted logs posted by Matthew, that was all related to a personal agreement related to a website you sad delusional little man.

You're the only one posting unredacted logs of anything. Everytime Adam talks to you, you run and post the email contents here. That's called "bad faith". You are digging a publicity hole for yourself and then trying to blame others. Freak.

I have only ever been banned once for spamming (which was a misunderstanding). If you were thinking I am Matthew (idiot), Matthew is not even banned anymore. Please stop lying and spreading FUD.

I am not representing the magazine here, Adam is. He's the only one that can talk to you about this issue.

Let's recap the many faces and moods of Goat, the liar and douchebag.

"I don't want a refund"

"Why haven't you given me my refund! Scammers!!11"

"I am in no hurry."

"What is the hold-up???"

Yes. That is my reply.

Do you know why that is my reply? I will explain it to you like you are a handicapped child.

You told Matthew you wanted to buy advertising space.

You knew Matthew was working for the magazine.

You knew the magazine was a company.

Only a total idiot would not know. When you buy advertising space for a magazine, it is a professional service.

You asked Matthew if he knew anyone who could help with a website.

Matthew made the mistake of trusting you would be 'cool'. He told you he could help you.

He warned you he would take forever because he's busy.

He warned you he was overpriced because he's busy.

He instructed you to find someone-- ANYONE-- else to do it.

You insisted on him, personally.

He agreed and you agreed to a personal agreement for personal work on a website.

You bothered the fuck out of him daily even though you knew it would take him a long time.

You threatened him even though he was already doing the work.

He finished 95% of the website in his free time, making the magazine even later.

He asked you for information to put in the website, you threatened him more.

You never responded to his request for more information.

You posted on the forums that he stole money from you.

He decided right there and then that you are an impossible douchebag who should never be worked with.

He kept his word and kept the agreement just the same.

You eventually got tired of waiting (you broke the agreement) and told him you were going to have someone else do the website.

Your private agreement with him was cancelled right then and there.

You have made this about the magazine. You have dragged the magazine through the mud. You have made everyone have to deal with your ignorance and lies. You should be ashamed of yourself. You should be banned.

You have not kept your word at all and you have spread lies and FUD about Matthew non-stop out of your own misunderstandings.

You asked for a refund and have made it impossible for anyone to give you a refund.

You have judged everyone involved like some child.

You have no agreement with Matthew anymore for the website. You broke it and cancelled it by hiring someone else.

You are being refunded for the private agreement through the magazine only because the original funds were donated to the magazine.

You are bring refunded for the professional agreement about advertising and magazine subscription by your choice and your choice alone.

You are being asked to agree to contract only because you asked for a refund, not because the magazine is worried about being sued.

You would never win a case because you have no case. If anything, Matthew should be personally suing you and trying to get you banned and blackballed from the Bitcoin community for your gross display of unprofessionalism and idiocy.

You want to know the magazine's privacy policy and you claim you can't access it? Yes, you are stupid. The magazine's privacy policy is on the magazine's website genius, it always has been.

You are a liar and a moron. Please take a long walk off a short ledge.

Can't...tell...if...serious....


Can we have Goat banned for continuously lying?

You messaged Matthew after agreeing to buy advertising space in the magazine and asked him to personally assist you in developing a website. You are either handicapped and therefor forgivable (some people have memory problems or language comprehension issues like rainman did), or you're a blatant liar and one of the worst liars ever (constantly saying things that go absolutely against what logs of your own conversation states).

I'm pretty sure Matthew felt the same way when he thought he was working for a sane businessman and turned out to be making a deal with an impatient, fussy prick.

Goat, companies have policies. You not knowing this should only serve as a reminder to people wanting to do business with you.

Good to hear that this should finally be getting sorted 

Thank you for finally acting in good faith, Mr. whatever your name is now. I await a reply from BitTalk Media to acknowledge that the requested agreement was, indeed, sent.

Posting that on page one would have helped and avoided all this pointless nonsense.   Christ.

You got an email and you're talking about it in the thread instead of through the email. Wow. Just wow.

I'm pretty sure it's been said like 10000 times. Why is it still 'unclear' that Matthew did the website work privately and the magazine advertising through the company? Everytime you come back with this crap it makes you look dumber and dumber.

Matthew is an agent for BitTalk Media and any advertising he sold you is liable to the company. Any magazine you bought is liable to the company. Any website design is liable to Matthew. You cancelled your contract with Matthew after agreeing you could not wait any longer and decided to go look for another designer. The only key point here is that we can expect more delays and FUD and the community needs to take this as a lesson when they ask the magazine in the future "why is it so hard to get advertising space now?".

I smell blackmail.

Can you prove Matthew had your address? This is the 5th outright lie you've told so far. When did you tell Matthew your Bitcoin address? Was it ever emailed? Provided over PM even? Or did you just post it to him on Skype after he blocked you? You know that on Skype, it doesn't show anything after you block someone but the person who sent the message shows the message as having been sent?

Or is this one of those vague "My address is known" things that hardcore Bitcoiners know is bullshit (you don't send refunds to a public address without contacting and approving that address to the owner as they may not have access to it anymore etc).

Interesting how easy it is to read you. From the start I've thought you as being horribly greedy, always quick to bet on things and troll about money, always talking about money, and now that you have realized that you have a position to cause more annoyance you suddenly are no longer in a hurry? I don't mind calling you a liar publicly (because you lied several times and I've already proved it) but now I am going to call you a douche in public too. You're a douch Goat. A liar and a douche. I personally would never do business with you. By the way, why is your website tygrr.com, the same name as TyGrr, who is also in Thailand, the forum member who had sent child porn? I think I'm going to start a new thread about that because you seem to like making personal business public. That $50k investment you mentioned in your Skype logs is going to be tricky to keep when you have a similar public image as Bruce Wagner.

Rabble rabble. Your website is basically done, idiot. Matthew finished like 95% of it (Everyone go to Tygrr.com and see what is in fact missing), as the logs showed, you just continued to ignore his requests for actual -TEXT- to put on the website. Did you want him to run your company for you and be your marketing agent as well? Good Lord.

All your site needs right now to be considered a "site" is some information about your company, which you cannot sit down and write, and then take that out on Matthew? You're pathetic. He can't finish the site because you won't do your part. He can't work with you because you called him a scammer publicly long before this just because you weren't patient and didn't pay attention to what you yourself agreed to. He can't work with you NOW (I don't blame him) because he's no longer in charge of customer/advertising accounts. I hope you fly to the UK, sue the company, and learn a valuable lesson about humility. It'd be easy money for the company when they counter sue you.


There is no issue. You told Matthew you agreed to find someone else. Case closed. Where should he send the money? He asked already and you never gave the info. You posted and address without an amount in a thread, and now 'refuse' to draft an email.

Goat, you're a total douche.

Doesn't make it any less true though.   You've proved yourself a nasty troll in the BFL threads and now this.   Good luck with your business, I know I wouldn't go anywhere near you.   

Just be a normal human being for once and send the damn email.  Someone even typed it out for you already.  Grow up.
