This guy has had negative trust for over a month now from when he defaulted on a 0.01 BTC loan ~a year ago.

Ideally most people have been warned not to trust that person with any anount of money. If you didn't see the warning then your trust list might be misconfigured.

Even not talking about configuration of trust list. Before lending the least you have to do is to check the trusts feedback even those which are not on DT.
You see defaulted loans? You don't lend. End of the story.

He posted this twitter account in a post of his: https://twitter.com/mcb_1221
Saw a post where he speaks in Chinese.

Ask him to prove if the acc is his, by letting him post from that twitter account, saying something in Chinese. lol

That doesn't help things lol
Could be the original owner then. If you go through his last 2-3 pages, you'll see he's been getting involved in similar stuff

Mexicantarget is his alt.
You got some issues in your head.

Aw man I think you're right!
What does make me an alt of his?

Me, asking for a 0.3 BTC loan, or telling you that he's almost a legendary member, without seeing his trust? (Which was my bad in this case)

Most likely a bought account. Just look at all his recent posts, surely he will be banned soon anyway. Guy will probably bring up the negative trust as being unfair and just speed things up  Cheesy

Scamming for petty amounts (0.02, 0.03, 0.04) but from many lenders without collateral.

This is why the "hero members won't scam for low amounts because their account is worth more" excuse fails. Those amounts combined with loans / trades that are usually not posted and happen over private messages, skype and etc start to add up.

You're absolutely right. Sometimes newbies are afraid to voice out, as the community here tend to side more towards the older members but those with proper proofs ie chat logs, tx id's etc , shouldn't be afraid to make an accusation thread.

Wasted Hero account. Sheesh.

Well your point also makes sense.As he is taking benefit of being a Hero member.

Users in those thread didn't saw it clearly.

Lutpin        | 3: -0 / +3 |   |2016-02-02|*   |0.00000000|   Reference   Defaulted on a loan.

Quickseller |-1: -4 / +15|      |2016-01-09|*   |0.00000000|   Reference   defaulted on a .02 loan


*Recent Negative trust ratings.


Being a Hero/Legendary doesn't means that you can take a non-collateral loan of small amount.

Scam *attempts* for petty amounts (0.02, 0.03, 0.04) but from many lenders without collateral. Needs to be given red trust, he is NOT to be trusted as he will run with what you give him. Using his "hero" title to scam. Check his trust for more references.

Checking his Trust Status , lenders should ask for his account as collateral to fail scamming intentions if any.

He refuses to give it of course - obvious scammer.

even if he accepted to give that account as collateral. it's pretty much worthless because he got a neg from QS and lutpin for defaulting on a loan.
