Topic: Scam Alert! Bitcoin-Central (Read 8587 times)

I'm well.  Thanks.

You seem to be basking in the pleasure of having both admin powers on bitcointalk.org where 'scam accusations' happen while simultaneously being a member of a loose group of organizations which take people's bitcoin and sometimes give them back.  I'm glad it brings you joy.

Gather around class; Today's lesson will be on 'Ethics' ...

Oh wow, half the posts disappeared in this thread, did TKeenan somehow manage to sober up?



So, how're you you today tvbcof?
I sense a lot of ungiven fucks in your aura, so I figured I'd keep you company a bit :-)

Actually, it very often does if a person is good at their job.  And things that are not amenable to early warnings are usually designed to have redundancy (if implemented by competent persons.)

Of course you guys got hacked and your solvency was up in the air and you were 'saved' by a price drop (in the 'Instawallet was not a scam' scenario) so your competence has always been questionable.

Oh look, my two favorite haters, I won't have much time for you today, if this persists I'll make sure to hire someone to come feed you some drama and harvest the lulz from time to time.

@NickNick : Stuff that breaks usually doesn't warn in advance :-)

Davout is probably tied up working on his 'military grade' computers so I'll be helpful and answer for him:

  "Hey douche: Take your meds."

(I took the liberty of adding a French word for added effect.)

Some news for tonight's "site under maintenance"? I don't think I have ever been informed of it...

On a saturday? Cute

cool story. bring it bitch.

Yup, I'm loving it. But do you see the morbidly obese crowd you're used to in said lines? Nah. Why would that be?
Sometimes I get cold fries, I go to the counter, I say "could you change my fries, they're cold", which I usually follow by "please" and conclude by a "thank you" upon reception of additionnal fries in the acceptable temperature range. Oh, and every fucking time I forget to ask for extra salt, so I have to go back, stupid me.



Look at the mtgox withdrawal delay thread, these people have reasons to be angry!
But you... Seriously, you're waiting in line like everyone else for a few days more than advertised and you get all agitated and all "approve my account or else"?

(And for the record, despite your account being locked on our side your verification process went on with our partner and you have a verified account with them since a week or so)



Haha, that Napoleon complex thing again? Do you know that saying? "The flaws we see in others..."



No fucking way. I don't disclose identifying information about past, current, or to-be customers, and certainly not to make some random point on some random internet message board.



That's what it'll be to you unless you get invited back in :-)



Look, you're new here, no problem with that, for now you just need to know that tvbcof has some sort of weird obsession with me. Go figure.



Right. Now I'm going to thank you for your visit and genuinely wish you luck and happiness, you know where to find me.

Trolling is a art that you do not seem to master.
Or maybe you're actually unable to perform a basic google search, is that so?
Oh god, it doesn't even require googling, most decent browsers will take you to paymium.com directly if you type "paymium" in the address bar.

So my question here, is "Finally what?".



You seem confused. If the difference between a private investigator and a police officer is unclear to you I suggest you go find out.



Please, let me know by PM (or publicly if you so wish), if there is a way for us to compile an accurate financial reporting document that you can independently cross-check without trusting us. Describe all the information that should be included and how it could be cross-checked independently.


Now let us go back on topic, which, for the record is "I was scammed because BC's verification process took more time than the advertised general time-frame", a particular case of the more general problem "my fries came cold".

Finally.

BTW, how's that police investigation coming along?

And dija figure out what your take on the unclaimed wallets ended up being?  At the rate Bitcoin is going up it should pay all you guy's salaries for years, eh?

An unlicensed money business, ignorant of FATCA (read: they'll get anally raped as soon as they set foot in the US), that can't properly round a fee, that is being effortlessly MITM'd by the NSA (yes cloudflare I'm looking at you), run by a couple slovenian freshmen? Hah. They have a very successful lemonade stand, good for them!



This is rather cute coming from a pretend-lawyer whose website comments section advertises penis enlargement products and leaks your contracts templates all over the internet ;-)



You're such a priceless little fella.



And that's why no one gives a single shit about your "knowledge".



Go back to the newbie jail, or the self-moderated section, you'll avoid getting yourself bitchslapped back and forth :-)

Please do be a little bit careful about this.  Boussac was eventually DOX'd in spite of the general care Bitcoin-Central took to hide their identities.  Or at least he gave some name for his presentation in San Jose earlier this year.

To the best of my knowledge the operators of Bitstamp have not been identified.  As is the case with ~davout, one of the operators of Bitstamp is has admin capabilities on this board (~hazek) but that is not a guarantee of easy tracking should it come to that, and certainly should not be used as an indication of honesty or integrity.  Sometimes I feel it is the opposite in fact.

For my part, I only do business with outfits that don't try to obscure the identities of their principles.  Currently I patronize Coinbase and Blockchain.info in part because of this.

I did not know nationality was race. There are people of all shapes and colors around here.
Thanks for enlightening me with your knowledge and wisdom.

By the way, read the posts before you write because someone else first mentionned that I may be from a country where people talk funny.
I try to conceal this handicap but my poor command of the English language and my blog address probably betrayed me.

You are right: my accusations of xenophobia are completely misguided. You are simply suffering from brain damage caused by too much watching Fox news.
I do feel sorry for you and you cannot change that. Now you are going on my ignore list for good if you don't mind.

tvbcof - All of my lulz!!1

Boussac - listen here Frenchy, interwebs srs business.  playing the 'race card' like you have just done here sends an open invitation for responses of this flavor. 

then again, you raise an interesting point: should no-cap crypto-coin businesses be afforded some form of special treatment, a handycap adjustment if you will, if they're french?  i say NO to special treatment for the french! 

It's kind of bizarre that people assume this kind of thing, you could also be denied entry, get your ass kicked or whatever.



Thank you, finally someone speaking some plain old common sense!



Words of wisdom :-)



Yup, other exchanges work in a sort of flawed way where the user deposits are considered to be corporate property, and can be seized, frozen and whatnot, for whatever reason, like it happened to mtgox in France (without much consequences), in the US (making them insolvent), and like it'll happen eventually to bitstamp.



I'll assume your address and my compass are accurate, so consider it just happened.



You made me chuckle :-)

I don't discuss my business with random whiny forumites for the same reason I don't discuss quantum physics with my golden retriever, neither is mentally equipped to understand the very basics of the subject at hand.



Which basically boils down to "the coffee didn't come with a temperature warning, I therefore burnt myself. I am angry about it and demand that someone pays attention to my whining".



Don't hate your betters, learn a lesson.
The lesson is : "please" works better than dumb threats when you're seeking assistance.



You apparently did not learn anything here, however you did demonstrate your inability to distinguish a fast-food from a correctly operated money service business. You're not ordering fries here, you're requesting an account to be opened in your name with a licensed financial insitution performing legally required checks and correct due diligence on their new business relationships.



Sit down, make yourself a cup of tea. Now think, think harder. Good! You just realized there may be a connection between this fact and your previous request, which was : "close my account".

Your account has been closed, your data archived. You have been blacklisted and will be refused service from now on.

This is rumorware. You are on a witch hunt. I feel sorry for you because you are doing nothing meaningful other than calomny.

By mixing legitimate businesses with alleged scams you are doing exactly the opposite of what you cliam you are doing.
1.You are making it more difficult for the community to select trustworthy services.
2. You disincentivize trustworthy services to disclose if and when they are hacked since you condemn them to have their reputation smeared no matter what they do. Even when the users suffer no other loss than an interruption of service.

Rest assured however that your despicable behavior has absolutely no influence on my continued determination to serve the bitcoin community with honesty.
