I think it's normal for Rambotic to ask for money to help unlock the account, i do not even want to argue of whether he has any sort of influence on them or not,
because that is not important, i have seen similar cases "not related to casinos" where random people solve problems for people and get paid ,he also asked to get paid "after" the account is unlocked, to me that was a legit/normal move.
the shady part however, is this
1- if you are certain that they will unlock his account after he bribe them , then what are you asking the money for ( 0.1 btc)
2- if by paying you or anybody else 0.1 btc the issue will be solved, why did you suggest to him that he pays 2 btc ?
1- Sadly i am not certain but can only have good faith that i will earn my 0.1 with something good (helping someone in really bad situation).
Also as i stated before, accepting paying bribe ( every single scammer trying to milk more their victims) doesn't mean he will or should do it.
There is many many moves after accepting that which will expose their previous and future intentions.
The most important part here is information.
Information that can be used against the scammer/scammers.
Accepting their own rules is the only way this conversation to continue in way which they will expose them self.
If they wanted different thing than money, he should accept that also, just to take that time advantage and expose them and collect information.
2- I randomly said 2btc. Actually the amount he should counter offer is not really important, it should be 1,2,3,4 btc but not 5 (the same they want).
You will ask me "why"?
Because there should negotiation and interest from the victim proving that he's willing to pay but not willing to go that much.
That will make the scammers to chat more, and eventually give more information and share more things.
As 1. the main goal here is information.
Why i suggest him paying at all were already said couple time.
And i do not feel bad for asking money for my time.
This is not illegal and i do not do anything bad.
No matter you like it or not, it is true 0.1 btc it will cost him way less than hiring lawyer or any other way.
My activity on this forum were always transparent and i try to help people for free when i can with what i can.
But when it will cost me more time and nervs, yes i will ask for money and i have full right especially asking it after the job is done.
The most important thing here is the guy were not really interested in thru paying 0.1btc in order to receive 38btc consider it will cost him nothing in begin for me to start.
I've been called many bad names so far, even scammer from TP consider we both know that i always suggest and use escrow for all my trades or any trade that i think is risky for anyone.
TP, we both know that every time i see something wrong on this forum, you got pm from me.
How come you calling me scammer and a bad person for asking money for my time for legal services?
Especially when my offer of "services" could only bring good to the "victim".
And believe me, that kind of "victim" would pay way more to the person who help him, even without asking for money, because 38btc is a lot of money, and only an idiot would not give a piece to his helping "angel".
If people do not accept my strategy and way to do the things, that doesn't mean they are bad or illegal.
After all in the end, no matter what i do or not do, my acts and strategy cannot harm the "victim" with any money, time waste or anything.
But i learn one lesson, trying to help people on this forum is auto goal.
People on this forum should only watch their own business and let other people being scammed and not being friendly and being humans.
Everyone here is playing good but none of you waste time to talk with the guy and trying to help him for free.
None of you want to waste time with that case, but you blame the people who have time to try to earn some money without doing anything bad.
