Did someone contact the FBI? They have a whole division dedicated to Crypto crime. Id say also, that most BTC theft originates from oversees so the FBI's hands are tied and its difficult to get resolution. But in this case since most of the victims and the suspect are on US soil it may get bumped up to priority.

I am driving to the San Diego FBI field office tomorrow.  I live about an hour north.  If anyone else is interested in joining me, drop me a PM.

I contacted a crypto-tracing company called Cipher Blade and spoke with them about tracking our stolen bitcoin.  They said they could, but are generally hired by a law firms and used as subject matter expert witnesses in court cases.  They advised me to go to an FBI field office directly and forego the IC3 website, but only if it was convenient.  And in my case, it definitely is.  Otherwise, just file online.


This is great. I just googled and found a field office really close to where I'm at, too (northern California). I might be able to pop by on Friday.
  Keep in mind that statute of limitations on federal crime is 5 years. Since there isn't really a hard date that the theft occurred. Make sure its presented as an ongoing crime and not something that happened prior to 2018

But in this case since most of the victims and the suspect are on US soil it may get bumped up to priority. Plus they are not hampered by state lines and have extra resources to track him down. I do think someone should organize a list of US victims, total losses for each person, contact info, a written synopsis of everything that happened, and  most recent suspect info. Id start calling them immediately or go down to local field office before statute of limitations expires.

THE ABOVE.

Additionally, what I think makes this case different that just 'cyber crime' is that we have actual physical products with an ascribed cyber value. His actual signature is on the certificates of authenticity, as well...
  The evidence is overwhelming. I would imagine its a slam dunk. A lot of times the theft to the btc wallet is hard to tie to the theif. In this case money was held by his company and held hostage by his website. The FBI wants to close cases.  They are reluctant  to spend resources on a case that may never get solved. But in this case once evidence is presented they will see it can be solved. Im confident they will look into it.

You two have said your peace, now please let’s move on. If you want to continue to discuss your issues with each other, please do so privately via DM.  More and more victims of Titan mint continue to find this thread and its important that we keep everything completely on topic. You guys have gone through all this multiple times now..please guys.

@everyone.. I think a good course of action at this point is to draw up a summary of what happened, and where everything currently stands. I will add this to the OP so that when new people come in, they can easily find out what’s going on without having to go through 20+ pages. If anyone is willing to assist with this, that of course would be very helpful!


Can we possibly put it all in a new thread? Maybe top post could be the summary and useful info? I can help if necessary...DM and I'll give it a go.

What I would propose is creating some sort of list of all affected...I know I only created my account *yesterday*, so I don't expect anyone to trust me, but I can create a google form or something if y'all want so we can gather some contact details and know who has a vested stake and the scope of the actual issue. I spoke with a lawyer today as well and I think having an actual summary and being able to put some numbers to the issue might be able to build some momentum...

Byzantine Generals' Problem solved,Prosperity Next
I mentioned this many pages ago but will bring it up again here since this thread is so voluminous.

Small claims court is a short cut or a 'hack' to many complicated legal processes; maybe in this case one person taking a small claim against Tim could be the first stone turned to get something rolling. Ultimately the FBI, FinCen a class action and everyone else could be involved in this but it is slow, costly and hard to actually get this trainwreck rolling towards any resolution at all. A win in small claims court could be something to start some momentum.

Anyone with a claim of $10,000 or less can present to a small claims court and the court will hear it. Small claims are manageable without a lawyer, in fact a lawyer is not allowed to assist in court. Most victims of the Titan fiasco are accounting for losses above $10,000 (full Titans and half titans); however someone with a 1-3 2FA tenths could take Tim to small claims court and he would be required to plead his defense.


Here is a guide on California Small Claims Court:

Small claims basics
Small claims court allows you to sue a person, business, or government agency that you think owes you money. Generally, you can only sue for up to $10,000 in small claims court (or up to $5,000 if you’re a business). You can ask a lawyer for advice before you go to court, but you can't have one with you in court.

Calendar
How long to go to court. Once you file papers to start a case, you typically have a court date (trial) in about 1-2 months.

There are some limits on small claims
You can’t have a lawyer represent you.
You have to collect the money if you win your case. The court does not do it for you. (My note - With a win in court you can seek help of the Sheriff to garner wages or place a lien on property if the defendant is still unwilling to pay)
If you started the case, you can't appeal if you lose your case. The judge’s decision is final. You can appeal if you are sued, or the other side sues you back, and you lose.

That's unfortunate news but I would suggest you INSIST they take the police report even if they don't assess that the DA will act at this time, and reference FINSEC case #883150 for theft and fraud via unlicensed money transmission service. Tell them that it was an actual physical product that you were sold, by a registered Califoria LLC, not an "internet crime", per se. What you were sold technically was also a fraudulent security and/or money transmitter service, which is why we should keep hammering at FINSEC to take action also. I'm still open to the idea of a class-action civil suit also, but it will be much better for the civil suit if we can get criminal indictments and regulatory action against Tim / Titan first.

Well, good point.  I'll admit, I just sort of rolled over when the officer stopped me in the middle of my explanation.  I'll try again with some of the information you just mentioned.  Thanks.

I spoke with the La Habra Police Department today and as soon as I mentioned Bitcoin theft they told me they do not handle cyber-crimes and referred me to the FBI.  Ugh.

Well...I have some unfortunate, though not unsurprising, news.

I spoke with the La Habra Police Department today and as soon as I mentioned Bitcoin theft they told me they do not handle cyber-crimes and referred me to the FBI.  Ugh.

So here are the FBI Internet Crimes Division websites again:
https://www.fbi.gov/investigate/cyber
https://www.ic3.gov/

I will file a report later today and suggest everyone do the same, if you haven't done so already.

I think that's a great idea and it can act as a repository of leads and information related to Titan Mint and Tim Fillmore.  I will include this forum post in my report to the FBI so they will have access to all the information we have gather so far.



You two have said your peace, now please let’s move on. If you want to continue to discuss your issues with each other, please do so privately via DM.  More and more victims of Titan mint continue to find this thread and its important that we keep everything completely on topic.

Agreed.  We all appreciate the help and input of everyone, but hopefully the new post could remain free of personal conflict messages for the good of the community and those affected.  It just cloudies and confuses the issue.  Someone please be the bigger person and break the cycle.

Here's another rundown in simplified terms of what happened:

2016: I try to redeem a Titan Coin. It has no privkey! Only a 2FA linked to a password/email I have no access to. Turns out Tim sold this coin to a member of this forum but never funded it! It was status "Not Yet Funded". Tim explains, his database of "redeemed" tokens is corrupted and blah blah blah whatever other bullshit. I say, "Hey Tim, I think you are scamming and I called the police". Tim tries to pay me off to stay quiet, unsuccessfully.

2022: Rando psycho stalker MoparMiningLLC shows up "hey I think it was all a big misunderstanding guys." I say, who the fuck are you, Tim's friend? I'm gonna add your name to the police report as accomplice. MoparMiningLLC screams "No, I doxxed Tim at his house and harassed his mother! I'm calling my lawyer because you accused me of a crime!"

2022: Many other people show up, robbed by Tim. I help them find the right place to file a police report and I contact FINCEN and get them to start an investigation of Tim for running an unlicensed money transmitter business. MoparMiningLLC shows up again to slander me and I remind everyone he is an accomplice.

I just want to go on record saying MoparMiningLLC is 100% a collaborator and accomplice to this felony fraud and theft, and he should be mentioned in any police reports filed against Tim Fillmore and Titan Mint, LLC.

> the whole issue was that it was "redeemed" and not actually "not funded" as per what the database was showing.

Says Tim, the known felon who robbed everyone, with no evidence, and who you continue to take at his word, over that of his victims, because you are his ACCOMPLICE.

MoparMiningLL continues to make false accusations against trusted members of this forum, including me. He harasses members of this site, including scam victims in threads where they discuss police and federal charges, while he insists the known felon who robbed us is still innocent. He has cruelly harrassed, stalked and doxxed members of this forum and he should be banned from this site.

> "as for doxxing Tim - yes I did do that"

Are there no terms of conduct for this site? Why is this crazy stalker felon named MOPARMININGLLC still allowed to participate here?

I have emails going back to 2016 from Tim where he states in no unclear terms that his "database" of which 2FA coins have been redeemed was corrupted, even back then. Please post or PM me a La Habra police report number and I will interface directly with the detective assigned to the case.

Ok...I'm not flying tomorrow so I will drive to La Habra PD and file in person.

If anyone has any information you feel would be helpful in the police report, please PM it to me.


Kudos! I am not affected because I don't own any 2fa coins but I think it's great someone goes through the trouble to hold Titan mint accountable.
A redeeming service that's not availble but crucial for your product is inacceptable.

> Turns out you bought a coin that had been redeemed prior to your purchase of it

There is no evidence of that. You continue to accuse the member of this forum that I bought the coin from of robbing me, and I don't think that's what happened. That same person also sold me other rare and valuable coins which have been authenticated by coin grading agencies, they were a legit vendor. You are still here making false accusations against trusted members of this forum, in my opinion. The preponderonce of evidence points to Tim just robbing me outright, just like he robbed all the other victims, of which you are not one. You continue to defend a guy that is now a known felon, and continue to assert that he never robbed me. You continue to take the word of a known felon, with no evidence, over the word of his known victims, with evidence. That makes you untrustworthy in my humble opinion, and it also makes you a fucking ACCOMPLICE. You continue to shill physical key wallets here, in a fucking thread about people being scammed by a physical key wallet vendor. That makes you a scammer trying to scam the victims in a scam thread.

You want to start to make things right with me Mopar? Take down your negative trust rating of me, I never did anything to you. Until then you are just nothing but a horrible troll and a scam accomplice in the Titan Mint scam, to me. I've seen you abuse other members of this forum too. As I said before I think you should be banned here for fucking doxxing Tim and harassing his mother at home. I went to the police. You did crazy stalker shit.


very simple way to show that then - what is the address to the coin? if it was redeemed, then the address will show it.
and based on the original thread - the whole issue was that it was "redeemed" and not actually "not funded" as per what the database was showing. In that same thread you admitted that you failed to verify the coin type and coin balance and just took the word of the seller.

I have made no false accusations against anyone, let alone a trusted forum member. Tell me one person I have accused? Asking for proof by the way is not an accusation.

You though have made many unfounded accusations with zero proof.

And the only "victim" that has complained about anything related to me is you - and your complaints are false and hollow.

Your negative trust rating is:

user is accusing Titan of wrong doing - I have no idea whether Titan screwed him or not - I read all the history (it is a lot and very confusing) User claims he had a unfunded coin from Titan that was never funded (user is also shown in several threads soliciting and purchasing unfunded Titans) so I asked questions and now he flags me as an accomplice? wtf. Do not engage with this person or risk being flagged falsely.

and is 100% factual - the moment I asked you one question about your coin you went off on me and then accused me. You have also then accused several others in the exact same fashion. Most of the people you have accused are in the top 20 of most trusted people on the entire forums.

so this feed back is warranted and factual. While yours are made up lies.

So make it right? I am - I will leave the feedback - what you can do is stop dredging my name up and reposting your bullshit about me every time you post in this thread.

as for doxxing Tim - yes I did do that - the doxxing of a public person who operated a public company and who was then in the position of owing several people funds and the same person who had provided much of his personal information already - as for harassing his mother - that I never did, I never made any contact with his parents.

As I have said - keep my name out of your threads.  You may have been wronged by Tim/Titan  -  many have. and I hope resolution comes for all his victims - I am no accomplice.  I have helped people to peel and redeem nearly 10 btc worth of Titan coins without asking for 1 sat for the help.

For people asking about the FINCEN reporting angle. Be aware FINCEN is not interested in prosecuting fraud. They would be the ones who come down on Tim / Titan for running an unregistered money transmitter business, so that would be a civil fine sort of thing. What we really need is for the DA of La Habra, CA to take notice and for that to happen you need to file a police report claiming grand theft / fraud, with the La Habra PD. Tim's LinkedIn profile says that's where he is but I wouldn't be so sure. Once a DA decides to press felony charges, they should be able to find him as long as he's still in the USA...   What would be really cool is if in the new thread, people who are not victims don't show up to harass the victims, claim the victims are actually the ones scamming Tim, try to hock physical wallet products with fucking privkeys printed on them (which is exactly how we all got scammed, in this scam thread), and claim that Tim is actually still innocent, like MoparMiningLLC did. If you want to see a real shitstorm, go back to the thread from 2016 when I first accused Tim of running a scam because I couldn't cash out my 2FA coin. Everyone and their mother showed up to call me a scammer, it was all bullshit.



look man - I never accused you of anything - I asked for proof and when you refused to provided any and wanted to be accepted as truthful based on your word when your details were:

1. bought 2fa coin - thought was pk - never checked balance
2. dont recall who/where i got it
3. swears its not the peeled 2fa coin you had just recently requested and bought on forums right before the claim you made
4. refused the 1 btc from tim

Turns out you bought a coin that had been redeemed prior to your purchase of it (yes, there was a database issue that said "not funded" instead of "redeemed" but c'mon man - redeemed coins are technically no longer funded and had you even done your own due diligence and checked the coins address prior to your purchase you would have known it was redeemed and no longer funded.

Tim admitted this was an issue and offered to pay you 1 BTC for identifying his "database bug".

Could it have all been bullshit? sure - but at that time, your "issue" was the only one any one had ever had with Tim/Titan.

So, all of the above years ago while no one else was having any issues at all with tim or titan.

Then years later when the site went down and 2fa coins became an issue (I still dont recall seeing anyone saying they have had issues redeeming PK coins) you come back and claim you were the unsung hero from years back everyone who questioned or asked you for proof was an accomplice.

you have red flagged people falsely - sending pm's that you would remove the red flag if they removed theirs - which then shows your feedback to be nothing but spiteful retaliation. Example below:

I noticed you are having a hard time selling physical crypto on this site, this week. Maybe it's because your account was flagged as an accomplice to a well-known physical bitcoin scam.

I still offer to remove the negative rating from your account, if you remove the negative rating from mine.

You have even then also pm'd me trying to buy coins from me...

you have called ballet "spies" when their CEO is the only person to have ever successfully closed a crytpo exchange while making sure 100% of all clients were made whole.

after all that - I never called you a liar - while you have accused several highly trusted members of either being Tim or being in bed with Tim  - all false and made up claims.

I have even merited your posts - when on track and helpful to the situation.  

I have even tried to ignore you but with damn near every post you make you throw my name in it and further stir the shit.

In the end, was Tim/Titan fucking people over? Yes - and many here have tried to help those affected - myself included. Yet you still toss shit on my name.

do me a favor - keep my name out of your texts unless you have actual facts to state about me.

Note: to speak of me as you do without facts is libel and also a crime and could be grounds for a lawsuit.
