There had been two ongoing cases against him.
They have now formally consolidated into one.
That case remains delayed, it is just a question of when the delay will be cleared.
Wish I had more to say.

Wow I'm surprised there's still activity on this. I had assumed it had probably come to a dead end. Thanks for still pursuing it.

You're welcome. I'll continue, until the case is concluded.

I know how much this impacted my life. And at least a dozen other people were impacted, too.

It is not about money, but justice.

I remain in a frustrating holding pattern.
A case _is_ ongoing, which is why I haven't shared more details.
I asked for an update a few weeks ago, and the update was that there was not an update since I had last asked.

Any update on this? Stumbled across this thread and it seemed to stop abruptly.

I would strongly recommend not giving out any information such as that requested above, unless it is to a law enforcement officials that has provided you with their credentials.

This x 100

I wouldn't be surprised if the real projects is using the forum under another account keeping an eye on things.

I'm the guy that he took 200 BTC from.
Efforts _are_ ongoing, but discretion remains important.

It wasn't heroin; there was a same-named, same-town individual (Edinsburgh) that made the paper for growing marijuana in his home. I don't know if it is the same individual or not.

You're all free to do what you choose, but I would strongly recommend not giving out any information such as that requested above, unless it is to a law enforcement officials that has provided you with their credentials.

Didn't someone post a link to some news article where we thought he was a heroin addict ?
If true, it explains a lot...

And as the poster above said, its confirmed... he just left... no need to discuss it.
But I wouldn't be surprised if he came back with the classic "I have had health issues" post...

seems legit a legit scam accusation

I don't think he intentionally scam people.

Getting into jail is probably the reason why he can't respond to lender.

I have to disappoint you there. He took coins from like a dozen people, one person he took for 200 BTC and then walked away. The scamming part is not really a question anymore.

Anyone who's been scammed by Projects please send me a PM with the following info:

1) Which address you sent coins to & how much & when
2) What you were supposed to get in return
3) How you got in contact with him
4) Whether you are happy to file an official police report with ActionFraud to extend the information on the case

The bitcoin address part is very important. I remember for a fact that at least one fraud involved an address under my control (lost the chatlog unfortunately) and the right address along with a proper report could decide the case.

Does anyone know what happen to Projects?

Someone mentioned he went to jail growing marijuana at home?
You can assume its him, as per location, but at the same time, would also be a common name.  Undecided

Didn't think much of it at the time back in last sept, was lucky enough to have denied it. Wishing chainsaw the best of luck in recovering funds.

I returned from vacation yesterday to receive a nice surprise. A concrete, positive development in the case.
I'll be touching base with the respective law official and asking a few questions in the next few days - what data can I share without jeopardizing the case, etc.

For now I'll just say I am extremely optimistic that David Williamson will be held legally accountable for his actions.

I can't wait until someone is held liable for theft! I've lost so much money this year to exchanges and scam artists.

Great news, this is not very common in the Bitcoin world.

Any news on whether getting money back from him is feasible at all?
