Topic: SR $100k+ bitcoin scam - page 3. (Read 9102 times)
That is one of the reasons why I really hate SR. There are so many scammers on the site and it's just a mess. Like yes the site has the good things but the site has plenty and I mean plenty of negatives.
Damn... LOL it really sucks for new buyers at SR because you have to finalize early and stuff like this can happen to you :\
why would mt. gox's june hack count but allinvain's claim of coins stolen don't? allinvain's was a bigger amount, in terms of dollars, but not the biggest in actual bitcoins involved. that prize goes to the linode hacking. bitcoinica alone had 40k bitcoins stolen and add to that was smaller chunks from slush and others at the same time. more than $200k u.s. dollars worth at the time.
sr can probably do what paypal does by holding funds for a couple weeks so that there is less incentive for a seller to attempt this scam.

SR does that but you can 'finalize' early. I don't know why exactly, but I think people do it with trusted sellers.

If this is real damn bro that is crazy. 
Some guy managed to scam a huge amount of bitcoins on 4/20 'sale weekend' where the site doesn't charge escrow fees, so there's a crazy amount of orders. Tony, their so-called Top #1 selling vendor decided to make hundreds of listings that were auto finalized instantly then disappeared. The estimated loss is at least 100k in bitcoins. Has to be the biggest bitcoin scam of all time, even better than the 643BTC that guy goxxed out of MtGox back in 2011. (allinvain huge loss doesn't count, never was any proof). He also lured fools off site to scam an unknown amount through a secret store he set up.
