Meanwhile
iGO_Tech's case got resolved thanks to the outside consultant whose name appeared on the BTCU website and at the BTCU announcement on Bitcointalk as well. His appearance was misinterpreted as he would somehow be related to Coinsbit and their Bitcointalk account, but this is definitely not the case. Moreover, the consultant helped
iGO_Tech to resolve his issue with Coinsbit and they paid him back his original fee of 1 BTC for getting his token listed, worth around 10,500 USD at the moment.
Bitbottrader's case will be resolved as well and his list of other member's open issues will be submitted as well for getting a constructive solution. Therefore I don't see any need to keep any scam alert. I've not filed any complaints in front of the authorities or the domain registrars as I was waiting to get the accusations resolved. My technological considerations remain untouched from this and thus
I'll keep them as notification together with one or another comment as an expression of freedom of speech. The flags for the thread creator
BTCU_Ultimate will remain due to unacceptable attacks and serious insults against the community!
Does that mean if
Bitbottrader receives his funds back will he will also delete all his posts and evidence against coinsbit and remove all the negative trust as well as his support for the flags in the same way as
iGO_Tech did?
Wow, that was unexpected and I'm glad Trade Runner could help resolve the issue on behalf of the OP. I don't understand exactly how it happened but it was really interesting to see Coinsbit step up and do the right thing, even if it took 3+ months. iGO_Tech has deleted all of their posts except for the one that started this thread, which seems like it must have been a bit time consuming, LOL.
In any case, good job @Trade Runner -- thanks for being a good intermediary.
Without doubt am glad that
iGO_Tech got their funds back but it is not appropriate for him to delete all the negative feedback/trust he left for all of the coinsbit sock-puppet accounts and it is not appropriate for him to delete all his posts since he was a victim of the coinsbit scam.
I am not happy and am not impressed with the manner in which
iGO_Tech has deleted almost all activity in this forum which he posted because he was a victim of coinsbit yet has decided nobody else should read what he posted.. in other words the message being sent is that in his opinion any warnings from
iGO_Tech about coinsbit scammers to future victims are not important therefore if others get scammed it is alright because
iGO_Tech got his funds back. That is a very dangerous message to send to users of the forum.
I am not privy to the negotiations that resulted in i
GO_Tech getting his funds back but on the surface it seems Trade Runner asked a team member of BTCU to intervene as his name was being tarnished being associated with known scammers and that person (consultant) used his leverage to force BTCU/coinsbit scammers to return the funds and it seems the negotiation may have included
iGO_Tech removing his posts otherwise what was the problem with receiving his funds and keeping the posts in place?
Just to reiterate, I am glad
iGO_Tech got his funds back
BUT...
... I want to express I am profoundly disappointed that he has virtually whitewashed the whole episode by deleting all the evidence/posts he made in the forum was well as supporting flags and negative trust for coinsbit associated accounts which could have acted as a warning to other potential victims. This action is worthy of being pointed out as almost despicable because in the past other scammers have been pressured in to returning funds back to victims but after receiving the funds the victims never deleted any negative feedback, posts or support for flags.
Just look at the OP in this thread, the title has been changed and the accusation from the OP has been removed. That in itself is unacceptable conduct especially after the OP himself came to this forum seeking assistance yet after he got his funds returned he is effectively now saying he was never a victim and does not want others to know of his story because he does not mind if others get scammed by coinsbit - that
IS what it seems like by his behaviour.
Had I known
iGO_Tech would delete all evidence of their case against coinsbit in the event of getting their funds returned, I would not have supported him because deleting all traces and evidence of a scam after getting funds back is tantamount to betraying all other potential victims and forum members that might fall victim to the same scam.
At least
iGO_Tech cannot remove the flag he created but obviously has removed his own support:
