The above Accounts are traced to money laundering, suspicious activities, including Ponzi schemes.
Where's the proof? I never trading with any users here and never advertising ponzi scheme, also there's no suspicious activity from me.

My reaction while read this thread.
Shall it count as attempted intimidation?
Having an older account on this forum does not entitle you and your group to hostilities and ransomware.
We do not negotiate with radicals. You can buy yourself a new trusted account, as you have suggested? We will keep our newbies account. Thank You for your offer.
What we know, this does not entitle you to defraud newbies users on this forum.
And that sneaky Russian andrei8787 can not just make threats, remember we never asked you for anything and we have made no agreements.
Not accepting your offer does not make us retaliatory targets.

You are embarrassing yourself. Like getting caught for plagiarism and hiring bumping service wasn't enough you decide to keep it going, which will result in getting even more negative attention. Or to sum it up with this gif (if you haven't, I suggest to watch Tropic Thunder, it's great fun!)
What happened:
An attempt to scam Moneta Dev Team into paying money for alleged marketing services has been registered. When we denied the offer, the attackers started a Thread branding us this and that and making false accusations. We believe this group to be guided and acting exceptionally for ransom purposes. Targeting - Newbies accounts.

The above Accounts are traced to money laundering, FRAUD, suspicious activities, including Ponzi schemes.
Their representative is asking for an undisclosed amount of bitcoins from Moneta to remove the false accusations.
We will be updating the scammer's list however they are acting cautiously as their attempt to defraud has been made public.
HOW IT WORKS?
Scammer Group Statement: "New users will always be intimidated and accused, especially in ANN Threads. This is the forum policy."
Moneta Holdings17: "Why?"
Scammer Group Statement: "Because if you want to post a Thread you shall have at least 2 years of membership or you shall buy a 2-year-old account."
Moneta Holdings17: "Where do you buy these accounts?"
Scammer Group Statement: "We have accounts at: https://www.playerup.com/accounts/bitcointalkaccount/ & https://upvotes.club/buy/bitcointalk-account/"
Moneta Group17: "These accounts are expensive, starting at $500."
Scammer Group Statement: "If you do not buy accounts from us we will make you buy one."
We consulted a highly trusted user on bitcoin talk about buying accounts and his answer:
"If you buy an existing old account, they will blackmail you after, saying that you have bought the account and ask usually for 0.2 to 0.8 bitcoin for marketing purposes. Basically, they will hand you the license not to be touched on the forum. Simple as that."
Please proceed with care when dealing with the above-mentioned high-risk accounts:
1. The User should document decisions related to suspicious accounts or accounts with unusual activity.
2. The User shall keep relevant CDD records when dealing with suspicious accounts, should not be destroyed merely because the record retention period has expired.
3. The User should determine the actual risk presented by a suspicious account and take appropriate measures to mitigate the risk.
4. The User should have sufficient controls and monitoring systems for the timely detection and reporting of potentially suspicious activity and large transaction reporting.
5. The User should perform proper due diligence and should monitor the activity that may be inconsistent with a suspicious account.
6. A User system for identifying, monitoring, and reporting suspicious activity should be risk-based by directing additional resources at those areas the obliged entity has
identified as higher risk.
It is the User’s responsibility to decide whether to submit a report, to report the incidence to its admins. At the same time, it is the User's responsibility to decide whether
the information reported internally needs to be reported further.
