- Does anybody know what the percentage of the Bitlucy company given to Royse777 was?
- Does anybody know if there was any paperwork signed between Royse777 and the Bitkucy CEO transferring that percentage over?
- Does anybody know the full name of the Bitlucy company with LLC, LTD etc?
- Does anybody know the current legal status of the company and the legal jurisdiction the company falls under?

Doesn't everybody know that in order to do business on bitcointalk.org you have to send your KYC to JollyGood first?

If something so trivial such as the length of a post or something so unnecessary such as quoting a post already visible for full visibility made you LOL, then I am very happy for you.

Most of the post was related to replying to mv1986 who has made excellent contributions to this thread and I look forward to his replies to my comments.

Back on the issue at hand, especially this part:

- Does anybody know what the percentage of the Bitlucy company given to Royse777 was?
- Does anybody know if there was any paperwork signed between Royse777 and the Bitkucy CEO transferring that percentage over?
- Does anybody know the full name of the Bitlucy company with LLC, LTD etc?
- Does anybody know the current legal status of the company and the legal jurisdiction the company falls under?


LOL.

Quoting the full post for visibility.

Just so people can see that this is a clear example of what I mentioned in my previous post.

I think JollyGood has broken the record for the longest post my eyes have seen in all the time I've been on the forum. He has even beaten JJG.

Bitch your brain is not in the right position. You are attacking and ignoring arguments of users who do not feed your wall of nonsense texts.
You are the one who is overlooking. Your motive is questionable.

This is irony, I will still trust Royse777 for a large trade but with you I will have huge hesitation if this is over $500.

Edit:
I was almost posting this and saw your reply. It's clear from your comments that you did not read the entire story but creating wall of text asking sources from others.

JollyGood didn't claim that there was a physical dinner date. JollyGood asked me to provide the source that I based my comment on. I can't find some piece right now because I cross-read a couple of threads and I don't exactly recall what place it was. I do think thought that @igehhh was the first to claim it at least in this thread.
Yes I merely asked about a link to read for myself if a dinner with the CEO took place since that was quoted by members earlier.

On another note, there is a document circulating that really got me baffled. The user @teyttrs uploaded it after having an 11 day conversation with the mysterious CEO about getting paid, was suuuuper patient, and the last couple hundred lines ultimately proved what a scammer the unknown CEO is. Now the problem I have with this is: that user also was asked by others to calm down and there is no way people get scammed because "https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.60055562" ("handled by Royse, regarding the discussion here about trust and so on...).
First of all thank you for the link (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.60055562) because I was not really interested in that thread and probably never visited it until I clicked your provided link.

Secondly, the words written by the user in question with those overzealous and over-protective remarks towards Bitlucy and then including the comment that gave Bitlucy far more of a seal of approval than it deserved by mentioning (words to effect of) Royse777 would not manage a scam campaign. That part is hugely problematic because it in essence means three important things:

i) asking users to put their trust in a certain newly created website by sending funds to them on the basis a particular forum member is promoting them

ii) shutting down any form of dissent, concern or claim in earlier manifestations before they became widespread - again, on the basis a particular forum member is promoting a certain newly created website

iii) it allows the particular forum member to either buy time to try to fix any issues by liaising with the website (since their reputation is on the line if a scam takes place) or it allows that particular forum member to refuse to accept the red flags and with that ignorance fall deeper in to a bigger hole.

The unfortunate side-effect of both is that by not pulling the plug earlier and by not completely disassociating with the website at the first opportunity, that particular forum member has facilitated a mechanism where the number of victims could increase. This was one of the reasons why I stated in my feedback there was negligence on part of Royse777.

As I will mention below again, I have not read in full the 11 day conversation between the user in question with the Bitlucy CEO, I will try to read it to get an understanding.

The unknown CEO is such a scumbag, even so stupid to have such a conversation with some unknown dude from the Internet, that I can't believe 1) someone like that person to run an Online Casino without 2) getting detected by someone with Royse' experience. She knows how all this stuff works, promotional campaigns, requiring funds for escrow and so on and so forth. She should have puledl the trigger earlier and warn all the community she appreciates, and that appreciates her so much... It is a sad ending and when I see how this unknown CEO communicates, Royse, if it is really true, how did this CEO talk to you without you getting suspicious when this CEO talks that way to everyone in PM?
Maybe Royse777 was gullible. Maybe a combination of being gullible and greedy led to Royse777 getting in to this situation. Maybe something else.

There you go, I can't quote since the thread is locked:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.60052582

That file is removed in that post, but whoever wants to have a look at it can find it in this post:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.60053921


No joke, I really took the time and read it completely... I had the choice between hitting the gym or waste some time and chill. When I found this document while searching for stuff in response to @JollyGood's post, I thought I'll give it a read.  
I hope to read it in full within 48 hours, the text in the lines I have read shows a very informal chat from a CEO who is conducting himself as a typical salesman rather than a professional individual but I need to read through it to understand what chat took place over the days they communicated.

I do not believe that Royse777 had any negligent intentions when associating with the BitLucy owner, so I have opposed the flag (it would be better warranted on BitLucy the owner himself for not having enough funds to run a sustainable financial operation).

EDIT: Now that I think about it, I should probably suppliment the fake investor warning sticky thread in scam accusations to include warnings against this type of scam involving casinos.
The flag was removed by the user that created it therefore regardless of support or opposition, it does not mean much now.

And this is where I also wonder whether Royse did any research at all regarding the required skillset, be it technical, social, financial, industry experience etc. This unknown CEO from Bitlucy really had no clue what's going on. Links pointing to Betcoin.ag, wagering requirements totally unclear, no idea what arbitrage bets look like (you can read from the document I suggested above, etc. If I were to start a casino (which I won't unless I would find myself in a circle of proven experts for some weird reason), I would do tons of research. It's kind of a given in that industry. Especially when you partner up and buy shares in the company as Royse publicly said:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.59956927

I mean, how does this all make sense? I know not everyone has partnered up with someone else and set up some contract or even a legal entity, but wouldn't you vest your partners beyond accepting fotos from Disney Land as proof of sufficient personal wealth in order to become the "biggest online Crypto casino and sportsbook on the planet." Quote was also from Royse, and I get all the enthusiasm when one is about to get something off the ground and is dreaming big, but come on...

I initially thought that Royse might have been scammed by a really, really clever person in a very sophisticated way. But after I read the document, and given that it came into existence through a chat with a person completely unknown to the CEO, neither "clever" nor "sophisticated" is likely to apply. Hence: gross negligence would be my judgment.

I stand by my word though that I would also support the possibility for Royse to get back on track. It is very true she doesn't owe any specific information to anyone, but that is her judgment as well. If she thinks that what she needs to protect from being known by others is more valuable, that is to be accepted. Other than that, I would still trust her as a campaign manager and even for some other things. But the harm has been done. When you drive too quickly, you get a red tag in a certain registry unless you have very, very good reason and can PROVE it! Other than that the red tag stands, and if you get caught again, things against you start to accelerate. Same speed but harsher penalty because there is this register that tells the driver to better not repeat what you have done wrong before. That is why I support JollyGood's judgment. Now someone might argue the registry doesn't apply because other drivers can't know whether the one in front of them has a big fat history with red tags.That is true, so we trust the police to do the right thing for us. But in this forum, there is no hidden police. It is the nature of forums like this that things are publicly discussed and publicly available when they involve public interest. If you ask me, the public interest is clearly given here, especially when people were still allowed to deposit while withdrawals weren't already functioning anymore. At let that is what I understand from the walls of text I read about the whole Bitlucy topic. Correct me if I am wrong, but deposits weren't stopped when withdrawals were already on ice. Big no-go!
I never knew about this post, I read what Royse777 wrote and once again thank you for the link: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.59956927

It was utter stupidity on part of Royse777 to post using words which were probably deliberately used in order to have dual meaning, such as Royse777 stating being "good friends with the CEO for over a year" as well as "hanging out regularly".

What does that mean to a layman when someone says they are "hanging out regularly" with each other and have "build up trust of each other over a year"?

Exactly who could be blamed for putting their trust in a trusted forum member after reading him or her vouching for a business they are part owner of without actually stating "trust me and take my word for it, this is no scam" but never uttering the words?

By simply using the reputation attached as to be taken as a seal of approval to those unfortunate to believe it, Royse777 is in this situation today. I would not surprised at all if using her own reputation was part of the leverage Royse777 employed in negotiations with the Bitlucy CEO to become part owner maybe with a promise of adding her name to the casino for the sake of showing it as legitimate and it being not-a-scam... but then again until or unless a full transcript of their chats is made public we do not know what prompted the Bitlucy CEO to not only employ Royse777 as a campaign manager but also to give a percentage of the company in lieu of being awarded the title of Co-Partner & Marketing Director

Who would not believe a campaign manager with green trust when they state they are part owner of a casino or when that same member effectively says "Hey, trust this website because I am staking my reputation on it after all I am part-owner and because the CEO and I have built up a massive amount of trust over a period of a year. For your information we are very close and we are hanging out regularly. On top that, between us we both understand the gambling industry inside out because we have phenomenal experience in this field and we shared a common interest in starting a casino therefore we simply decided because we are the best people who can create a new casino which will become the largest crypto casino/sportsbook ever, we will do it"

To answer the question: Me. I would not believe it.

As a continuation of the answer: Many people and many forum members will not believe it either.

As a further continuation of the answer, it is safe to say: some people and some forum members will believe it and the reason for that misguided belief would not be because a newbie account created 30 minutes ago was vouching for a newly created casino... on the contrary the reason why some people including forum members would believe it is because someone highly trusted and in a position of trust and in good standing with peers (operating an account with several years history) has basically stated they own part of the very same business they are vouching for.

Previous good character or previous good conduct or previous good standing along previous contributions cannot negate the utterly appalling decision making process taken by Royse777 related to Bitlucy, nor should the facts about the Royse777/Bitlucy relationship be watered down because there is no evidence Royse777 intended to scam from the beginning but there those that expressed opposing views and that is their right.

When it comes @JollyGood, I have no personal relationship with him, never had any transactions with him or anything like that. I just started following him at some point because I liked that he cracked down on scam after scam AND he put effort into it. Not just distributing red tags as is sometimes claimed here by some, but certainly not by many... In my opinion @JollyGood is a real asset to the community. It is good to know that there is someone who really puts puzzle pieces together when there is something suspicious going on. Hardly anyone (if anyone at all?) would take the time and put in the effort. And in all fairness: he might really be on the edge in some cases, I don't know, I haven't studied them all (haha), but has he given away some clearly wrong red tags? Like, plainly wrong and arbitrarily? I'd be very surprised.
We have had or almost had zero contact before corresponding in this thread. I cannot recall interacting with you but I enjoyed reading your posts for the quality and time taken to write them presenting them with links providing background information with evidence. You have also shown the correct attitude when standing up and taking a stand in what you believe in such as the high quality posts in this thread even in the face of opposing views.

It is slightly off-topic but to be fair my time for clamping down on scam after scam, almost day after day of doing it are behind me now though I do try to take an interest and post intermittently in the Reputation and Scam Accusation boards. Thankfully there are many forum members contributing positively in the Scam Accusations board on a regular basis and I am grateful to them.

Anyway, moving onwards and back to the issue on hand regarding this particular thread:

- Does anybody know what the percentage of the Bitlucy company given to Royse777 was?
- Does anybody know if there was any paperwork signed between Royse777 and the Bitkucy CEO transferring that percentage over?
- Does anybody know the full name of the Bitlucy company with LLC, LTD etc?
- Does anybody know the current legal status of the company and the legal jurisdiction the company falls under?

When you read that private conversation between the guy who got scammed and the "CEO", you'll clearly get my point. That is why I said I can't even believe for a second that Royse really thought it could work out with that dude. Then again, Royse might have been the passenger, also without a license. Somewhat in her defense I'd say. It also feels a bit like megalomania on Royse' part when she said it's going to be the biggest online casino on the planet. Well, on what evidence or substance was that based on? Did this CEO sign a message from a wallet with 10,000 Bitcoin?
Well if you are correct then what do you think drove Royse777 to get in to a partnership in what was a doomed relationship from the very beginning? I do agree with you, megalomania seems the correct word because the way Royse777 was posting about her relationship with the Bitlucy CEO and the part-ownership of Bitlucy shows telltale signs of it.

My opinion on the tiny bit that seems to have sparked the "attack between a few reputable members" which is "The proof of Royse's conversations with Lucy", in my humble opinion such proof has little to no value, at least, it shouldn't be the backbone of any conclusion someone arrives at.  Royse could easily fake a few conversations dating back to any date they chose, even the blockchain transactions could have been set up, there is no way in hell to know for sure if there was another person with the name of Lucy who is/was not actually Royse777.
I agree, the alleged proof does not bring closure in this situation at all.

What somewhat compounds the issue of the alleged conversations is what motives Royse777 had for releasing them to a select few as well as why that particular select few were chosen. The latter (if I recall correctly) was recently addressed by Royse777 in a semi-rant of a mostly incoherent post but the motives for wanting to share in the first place were never addressed. It remains unknown what Royse777 wanted to gain from it.

So that leaves us with only one option and that's what Royse claims, it's either you take Royse's for it or you don't, if you think Royse was Lucy all along and then a few "screenshots" would change your mind -- I think there is something seriously wrong with your judgment.
I agree.

Personally, I believe Royse is a genuine person, maybe she got a bit greedy and saw a "huge opportunity" which she didn't want to lose, which led her to ignore all the obvious red flags which then resulted in a loss for everyone who was involved, one might say that her judgment is not to be trusted and that would make sense, but again, I don't think she had any intention to cause damage.
I broadly agree because you have summed it up in an apt manner. I think greed played a huge part in the mindset of Royse777 in that period and I think the degree to which she leveraged her reputation as a campaign manager and trusted forum member in order to deepen the relationship with Bitlucy to become an unknown percentage owner of the company remains unknown.

if I start a casino with 3000 in the bank, am I a scammer? If I start with 2000 in the bank, am I a scammer? 1000? At what point am I a scammer? When I don't process withdrawals anymore without proven history of doing so?

If you can't cover the largest bet payout, then you are a scammer, or at worse in deep financial trouble.

If for example "roulette" with its highest payout of 35:1 and you don't have $35 to cover a $1 bet, then you are probably a scammer.

You know, and I wouldn't even want to be so harsh about Royse. I do indeed concur with the fraction of people here who say there was no intent. I truly and deeply believe there was no intent. But the problem is: the numbers! What you described nails it perfectly! Roulette is probably the best example in this situation! If I offer a game and can't serve the odds that are against me, I am actually a scammer! The word is hard, but it is what it is. Very true point.

@Royse777

On January 22nd, did you think that @JollyGood is an important asset to the Bitcointalk Community?
Without being dramatic you could quote it. I am not in a situation to solve puzzles.

It wasn't a puzzle, because you could exchange January 22nd for any other date, and in my opinion he'd still be an important asset to the Bitcointalk Community. Back at the time you would have probably seen him with different eyes. That was the point I was trying to get across.

My opinion to put the little doubt myself/anyone else could be having about the slightest idea that Royse could have been Lucy all along without anyone knowing, Yes! that's very possible, but I guess that'd have made it much more easier for him to pull the plugged way very early at the first set of issues, since he'd have known there wasn't going to be an easier way forward for him if he was the one bankrolling the casino, he could have falsely called Lucy(himself) out and not so many people if at all anyone would have thought of the possibilities of him being the same person right ?

Personally, I believe Royse is a genuine person, maybe she got a bit greedy and saw a "huge opportunity" which she didn't want to lose, which led her to ignore all the obvious red flags which then resulted in a loss for everyone who was involved, one might say that her judgment is not to be trusted and that would make sense, but again, I don't think she had any intention to cause damage.

I slightly agree with greed notion, but I guess the benefit of the doubt from him could have been for a fact that the casino is very new and needs a bit of time to be fully functional and with the time Royse said he's been in contact with Lucy would have been slightly unfair to call him out at the slightest of issue and as Royse claimed he wasn't fully aware of every issue at the very instant might be part of what actually happened but I strongly doubt it was solely greed that got the better of him, going by the little conversation I've had with (minimal) and it was much about gambling pools and stuffs like the Covid-19 raffle which participated him.

What I find very ironic is that most of the users bashing him (not the sock puppets) would still finding comfortable with trading him without the fear of getting scammed ? Why then would they want new projects or to be wary of him, despite having admitted and owned up to his mistake, almost 8 years in the forum and what he's contributed so far should all count for nothing ?

It's a scam bound to happen when the casino doesn't have a safeguard against winning more than the bankroll. If the maximum profit per bet is $30, you can have a casino with $3000 bankroll. By the time users have won $1000 in total, the maximum profit should be reduced to $20. That way, you'll never run out of money and never have to scam. You may run out of users but at least you'll be honest.

Thanks for the maths!

I should have been clearer: "Some say that incident was akin to Royse777 being fooled/duped by a scammer in Bitlucy whereas others say it was mismanagement and negligence on part of Royse777 (to get in to that situation)."

You are right, it is not clear if Bitlucy even intended to scam from the very beginning and it is also not clear if Bitlucy was created with the specific intention of an exit scam. If the latter was even true they amounts involved would not be worth the hassle in the first place.

It seems you are right again because they probably did not have the funds to actually start a casino in the first place and they hoped to make an income to cover any potential payouts based on initial and early customer losses. I agree, had they succeeded then it would never have been made public that Bitlucy was on the verge of collapse from day one of their operation and subsequent history could have been different but here we are.

LoyceV/JollyGood,

if I start a casino with 3000 in the bank, am I a scammer? If I start with 2000 in the bank, am I a scammer? 1000? At what point am I a scammer? When I don't process withdrawals anymore without proven history of doing so?

Edited: to correct the quotation stuff.

At what point am I a scammer? Let's assume I am a scammer, but demand to be called a "newcomer"? What then? @JollyGood is applying his rules. Nobody here has to agree with them, because we are what we are, a free forum, but frankly, I will listen to him anytime! Hate me or love me, and anything in between.

I also would like to see where Royse777 said he was dining with the CEO in person. Would you mind sharing the link to that post or at least the archive?

Why don't you ask the person who mentioned it first? What does JollyGood have to do with this?
Apparently, there are some forum members who got special treatment and got a glimpse of Royse's private conversations with Lucy. The rest of us can only speculate on what went on.
You are right I did not make the statement, I merely asked about the situation.

Yeah when I say hangout then you interpret it dinner date in person. Bud! you have not even looked at the details I have posted publicly (forget about private) yet you are here arguing BS to establish your thoughts.

Actually, it wasn't Jolly who interpreted the dinner date. So, rather than making accusations, you might want to be a little more precise with your arguments.
Correct again, I merely asked if there were any links provided to show the effect and asked if the event actually took place.

Do not be surprised at some of the comments being made here. Some members have taken a line or two from a long post only to take it out of context or misquote me to deliberately cause misdirection in a thread that is supposed to be about Royse777 and Bitlucy (not about me, you or any other member).


Even some of those staunchest of trust-advocates that have not added me to their trust list or excluded me (some citing I am too hasty leaving negative tags as their reason, others have their own reasons or agendas) have themselves left highly dubious or factually incorrect negative tags for others thus contradicting themselves but I have tried to remain focused on the responsibility I have in conducting myself as a responsible member of this community. Others conduct their own responsibilities in the forum how they deem appropriate, there are no wrongs or rights, it is about interpretation.

According to the bold part, you are expecting everyone to add you in their trust list. If they don't then they are staunch? You are now mad at the users who excluded you from their trust list including those did not add you at all.
You are factually incorrect because according to the bold part it is incoherent unless the full sentence is taken in to provide context but it seems you possibly took my post and deliberately linked it towards words I simply did not write. Having said that if you want to copy and paste the comment (you either failed to understand or deliberately are trying to create diversion tactics) by all means open a new thread in any board you want to discuss it.

I asked Royse777 if I can see the details and he/she shared it with me so I was among the circle too. But right now you are accusing us and saying closed circle as it sounds we gave him a friendly pass without justifying the entire situation.
Again, you are factually incorrect. I stated nothing of the sort, you can ramble on with your nonsense as much as you like. Furthermore, I have no interest in what you claim happened between yourself and Royse777  Roll Eyes

Where is your problem?
I do not have one

Royse777 decided to share the information with some of us or he did not share everything in open forum.
And?

If not sharing in open forum is your problem then I can confirm, he didn't do it for his own privacy and security as well as few others too. None of us can protect him if something turn wrong against him.
If sharing the information with us is your problem then it's a strange feeling. 🙄
You said "If" and there is no "if" therefore you are wrong, again. I have zero problems but you are overlooking in to this too much. You are panic-posting in similar fashion to Royse777 with ramblings and misdirections. Try to relax, it might help with your temperament.

I kind of agree with DireWolfM14 but would like to add, someone is rightfully concerned about their security while you are being so curious to fix your drama.
In my opinion the drama was started when Royse777 and Bitlucy became associates but keeping that aside feel free to agree with who want and likewise feel free to disagree with who you want but afford the same luxury or courtesy to others to make their own decisions too.

Even though your post is full of nonsense, I replied as a courtesy. Even though you have been overtly and most probably deliberately incorrect when quoting me and you have been creating your own misdirection here for your own purposes, I entertained it for a while but expect no more replies if you continue to create your own drama.

Some say that incident was akin to Royse777 being fooled/duped by a scammer in Bitlucy whereas others say it was mismanagement and negligence.
I'd say it was a bit of both. I'm not even sure Bitlucy intended to scam from the start, but it's obvious they tried to start a casino without having funds. They must have gambled on the first users losing a lot of money, and if that would have happened, they could have been successful and nobody would have known about the lack of funds.
I should have been clearer: "Some say that incident was akin to Royse777 being fooled/duped by a scammer in Bitlucy whereas others say it was mismanagement and negligence on part of Royse777 (to get in to that situation)."

Again, if you drive a car without a driver's license, might work out, sure, if nobody detects it. But if it is detected, it is getting pretty rough.
~
Royse might have been the passenger, also without a license. Somewhat in her defense I'd say.
In that case, the passenger doesn't get punished (but shares the risk of crashing). That seems like a pretty accurate analogy.

Yes, shares the risk of crashing. Thanks for getting the point.

Let me ask the community here: going from where Royse is and we say she is NOT to be red tagged, how many percentage points of her current reputation score should we deduct to come to general consensus that a red tag DOES apply?

Minus 10%? 20? 30? 40? 50? 60? 70? 80? 90?

And then, based on what reasons? So, 30% sounds fine? Cool! Let's go with that!

For those in "defense" of Royse, I am also in defense of Royse. Clearly, as Hhampuz stated, transactions including myself going first are still possible (not sure how much Hhampuz would go for though), but what about the red tag policy? Should we fuck up just anything below "Legendary"? Or is it the merits? But we need to check whether there was merit abuse at play then right? Or is it just the "subjectively perceived" reputation? Well, then give Theymos a call and tell him to get rid of merits.

I am definitely not making a case against Royse, I am making a case against making a case an emotional lottery (or subjective policy). It is and will always be complicated when a highly trusted member of our community gets involved into dubious stuff. Slippery slope, my friends. And a slap in the face for newcomers who try to climb up the forum (political) ladder without any chance whatsoever.

For clarity sake I should express I am surprised at the amount of good faith, pity, sympathy and compassion shown here by members towards Royse777.

This is not sympathy, compassion, and definitely not good faith. All of this story is making so much fuss because a lot of the members here are scammers like Royse777 and they do not want it to be a habit here on this forum of giving negative trust scores to scammers. Instead, they ask for pity to be paid for by the scam victims + the future victims. They want to dilute themselves between honest businesses, but this shouldn't be allowed.

It's not the same thing to run campaigns for legitimate businesses or to run them for scams. People who run legitimate campaigns should try their best to separate themselves from the scammers and as much as possible exclude others with scam histories. That is why @yahoo62278 and @JollyGood are the only ones doing the right thing here.

Again, if you drive a car without a driver's license, might work out, sure, if nobody detects it. But if it is detected, it is getting pretty rough.

Royse might have been the passenger, also without a license. Somewhat in her defense I'd say.
In that case, the passenger doesn't get punished (but shares the risk of crashing). That seems like a pretty accurate analogy.

But if the passenger is the owner of the car and allows a driver without a licence, it is a problem

I will keep this thread alive.

Obviously, it's up to you to do whatever you want, but I think it is better not to do so. The only thing it's going to do is make you angry.

Those of us who changed the feedback to neutral already are not going to be affected by what is discussed here and those who maintain it are not likely to change anything based on discussions that only serve to further entrench positions and get angry.

Can I ask everyone to stop quoting me in this thread please. I'm done with the situation and attitude. I would rather not get 5 notifications a day from this thread.

@Royse777

On January 22nd, did you think that @JollyGood is an important asset to the Bitcointalk Community?
Without being dramatic you could quote it. I am not in a situation to solve puzzles.

Was this ever actually addressed by Royse777? Was a straight answer ever posted addressing this issue about the dinner? If so, can anybody provide a link before Royse777 locks this thread.

Was there an actual in-person dinner between Royse777 and Bitlucy where they met or was it an online chat only. I am confused, did they ever meet in real life to discuss Bitlucy as a business? Were they actually friends in real life or was this specifically a cyber friendship where the two main protagonists never met in real life?

I highly doubt it since Royse claims they started communicating again shortly before the BitLucy casino launched. Considering the time period and that they apparently live on different continents, it is highly unlikely that they ever met in person. Royse mentioned that he participated in some meetings with potential partners, but these could very well have been virtual meetings only.
Thank you for the information. Can you provide a link for where Royse777 made those comments apart from in the OP?

So the moment I was offensive aggressive to you, you prioritize your emotion over facts and whatever you are trying now is to feel better for yourself?
You are factually incorrect on several fronts.... my emotions never got in any way of anything related to Bitlucy therefore you are clutching at straws and are trying misdirection tactics.

Let us be clear, it was you who created this mess with Bitlucy therefore why should I be making myself feel better? I was not a part of it, all I did was point out that I left negative trust for you long before your outburst therefore accusations of bias should not be levelled at me yet you take the opportunity to post incoherent ramblings.

It's amazing how you are suggesting others to join you.
Where have I asked others join me and exactly what would they be joining for? You are in serious need of a reality check.

Learn from my experience. A single slip will take away everything from you.
You are right when using the single-slip analogy, I cannot argue with that advice. I hope others read it and take heed too.

Yeah when I say hangout then you interpret it dinner date in person. Bud! you have not even looked at the details I have posted publicly (forget about private) yet you are here arguing BS to establish your thoughts.
After reading your walls of text, it seems mostly created by you with a view to garner sympathy for yourself, it is easy to miss parts or not remember others. Having said that, I asked a question if a dinner took place and asked for clarification and did not establish my thoughts.

What would have been the harm if you replied stating you used the word hangout when you should have instead elaborated fully what you interpreted that word to mean considering the circumstances and what was at stake.

What would have been the problem is you had simply provided a link? It was this same type of aggressive yet nonsensical behaviour akin to a tantrum that has alienated some members.

I will keep this thread alive.
Good news you are keeping this thread unlocked.

Since it will not be locked now, I would like to take the opportunity to go back to something yahoo62278 asked about before you started your conspiracy theories.

I partially defended your reasons for not wanting to show blockchain transactions between yourself and Bitlucy on the basis of you maybe having some reasons however his questions and concerns in the post below are valid therefore maybe you should at least consider providing some blockchain transactions as evidence to show you are not connected to Bitlucy far more than some are suggesting or thinking: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.60500366

Let's start with blockchain transactions. I could care less about any address you might have had money sent to or sent from. Sounds like an excuse to me, but the blockchain is public, not private just in case you weren't aware. Regardless I have never asked for an address I don't believe. I'm also not asking for your home address( another thing I do not care to know).

What is being asked for is you to prove you are not the owner of the casino(which most of us do not believe you are), prove via conversations with this mystery person whom you are so good of friends with that you are innocent. I don't see any reason why you wouldn't want to prove that.

BTW I'm using no strategy here. 1 company contacted me due to your rep for a 1 week campaign. Don't get yourself in a mess and companies wouldn't wanna stop associating with you. I did not cause your mess so don't try to blame me for your mistakes.

You called yourself a partner, people lost money, I think you are lucky you aren't painted red by 50 users at this point. Most of us are trying to give you a chance to clear your name, but IMO you are letting anger get the best of you and not solving much of anything.

Because you are having so much fun so here you go:
- Blockchain transactions that you and yahoo wanted to see

I will not provide ownership of any address, make me.

Don't tell me you do not know how auto-suggestion works in our mind. Reality Checked.

After looking at the facts as I saw them much earlier, I had a degree of sympathy too but that has subsided because of the way Royse777 has posted with an offensive aggressive stance which resulted in alienating herself from several members including myself but my red tag was given impartially before that happened.
Do you still say your emotion was not effected? You edited your post after my response and added the tag thing.
Do you really think I am concern about the tag you left? I am concerned to see your desperate approach to harass others and using the trust system in your favor. If you are doing it to me when I have a long history of the forum, how would I now not be concerned that you are not doing it from years against the weaks.
