Topic: To freebitco.in and their representative, TheQuin - page 14. (Read 6957 times)

As you making a allegation about being directly affected by freebitco.in you should create a thread in Scam Accusations to explain the circumstances. As matters currently stand it seems by looking through this thread that there will be a strong consensus to support flags and negative tags, At the moment there is one thread in the scam accusations board about them but if problems are widespread there needs to be more threads.

May22
the last successful 2FA-withdrawal I saw was on May22

TheQuinn last active on this forum on May23
I guess he logged in to check out whats-going on...
it's like he's a pyromaniac looking at the fire he started

May24
Friday 9am I started to panic because I can't withdraw my BTC due to the delayed email issue

it doesn't seem to be illness or accident because if it were, one of them (TheQuinn/wetsuit) would be telling us right now what's going on

unless, BOTH of THEM were murdered last week?
happened to be in the same serious accident?

something bad happened to both of them? I don't think so

they decided to steal the users fund?

===

I saw a death-threat post to kill TheQuinn/wetsuit on their official twitter... it was from a user from South America I guess

look at the last 3 post on their twitter account, you'll see his post

everyone doesn't take him seriously... but even if they are 100%anonymous... I'm certain it's easy to geographically locate TheQuinn/wetsuit or even the nominee 3741-9370 fake lucky winner

they left some clues over the past 11 yrs on this forum

===

can anyone find the way to see if their BTC-fund has any movement over the weekend?

Feel like its time for someone whose been affected to open a flag on them. Just let us know when its been done and I'll suport it. Will probably red tag wetsuit and TheQuin as well.

AFAIK, and if I remember correctly, the same group also runs "real" online casinos such as ClubRiches. Not very long ago, a ClubRiches manager reached out to me - I have just contacted him to see if he can be of any help - that is in case I am not mistaken.

Edit: Interestingly, I requested a withdrawal in the near past (2FA has always been enabled for me) and both were processed perfectly fine - very small amount though.

There is definitely something extraordinary happening and it looks like it has been going on for a while. TheQuin is coming online but not saying a word.

The worst part is, even if the casino was fine or half fine, now the players are queuing to withdraw their funds, it will trigger a bank run and I somewhat think the owners won’t be paying anyone from their own pockets. It get that impression because neither or them are saying a damn word.

TheQuin, blink twice if there is a gun pointed at your head please.

More than 24 hours since I created this topic and nothing has changed. It's still impossible to make withdrawal from freebitco.in.
I am still receiving promotial emails from freebitco.in as before, but I don't receive authorization emails. Their twitter account is also active and they posted their last tweet around 2 hours ago, but they don't say anything about users issues.

So, I've just received now the email for confirmation. I've confirmed and I get this.

I use 2FA, so I don't need an email confirmation, yet they are still not approving the payments. 30 hours passed.. I think they are intentionally creating the email issue. I have been waiting for 32 hours for my withdrawal request to be approved. They stole all of our money.  Even Dplay says that they have no connection with Freebitco.in. 

Well, their business is quite profitable, right? If so, why did their management decide to play like this and act like they don't care about their reputation which they have gained in the last ten years? Freebitco.in is the first website of many of us who have tried their faucet for the first time and had a chance to have some bitcoin without buying it. They have been running their business for a long time now and have a good reputation. I see Hhampuz did not responded here yet. Probably he is trying to contact them before he come here to write anything. I hope he bring some good news. But honestly speaking, this does not look good.

As I did not receive the confirmation email, the funds went back to the site's account, but I have them blocked there, so I cannot withdraw them.

After all that has been said, in my opinion it is clear that there is high risk, and I even think that the official thread deserves a newbie warning flag, otherwise we are giving publicity from the forum, to a site that has blocked the funds, with a multitude of technical issues and complaints, and without support.

yes it could be his/their illness(es), death (lost key risk), arrest or...

or murder (lost key risk) who murder who?

or lethal accident? (lost key forever)

or simply a scam stealing their users fund

or some clients are so lucky (like win 100-200 or 1,000-2,000 BTC or more and withdrew all the BTC) and caused liquidity issue with freebitcoin?

at least, their users should have the closure... knowing what is going on?

if it's accident/illness, I hope that they are not in a serious condition and get well soon

===

freebitcoin was run by 2 individuals as far as we know with the PR help from wetsuit's friend?

it's non-KYC online BTC-casino

some clients use it for laundering

most people just bet for fun... gain some sats thru the faucet

the freebitcoin was business-registered in Curaçao (obviously they were not born there and they don't live there)

===

TheQuinn and wetsuit guys are 100% anonymous (except that we can trace them via their PR account?)

===

can Bitcoin-forensic expert trace them in the case that they become a scammer?

BTC-forensic expert

===

lots of people said "freebitco has been operating for a decade... for 10+ yrs"

that why many people started to bet or deposit-for-earn-4.08%interest with them

===

in general, every bitcoiner/HODLer/BTCmaxi/everyone should have a plan for bitcoin inheritance because [the common COD-causes of death] of humans are the following

suicide
murder
illness
accident
or
vanish... become a missing person

what will happen to ur private keys

multi-sig wallets

===

the private keys to the vault-fund of freebitco.in

===

I have 0.1BTC in my account... my 2FA is not activated so I had to withdraw via the confirmation email

the email came in my inbox 50-hr LATE! the confirmation link in the email is valid for only 1 hr

so I still cannot withdraw my BTC

===

their PR account should let us know what's going on... as soon as they can contact TheQuinn/wetsuit

I doubt very much they have purposely stolen user funds. These guys have been around since the days of bitcoin being $1000, they are most likely multi millionaires assuming they've not completely mis managed their holdings.

Most likely it is personal illness, death, arrest, or some other circumstances like that.

1. That could've happened as many casinos seemed to have been hacked within the last 2 years, but why the radio silence then? Most would say: "the hot wallet has been hacked, but we have covered the user deposits out-of-pocket". Unless they don't have enough money that is.

2. There are apparently two of them on-site. The chances of both of them getting injured at the same time is slim. The chances of them getting arrested at the same time though... that is non-negligible. Why, I don't know.

3. It would be quite petty if they indeed scammed everyone while their site still earns a lot of profit for them, but like I said, maybe the reserves are gone?

Are there any signs that someone is working on this at all? I see that almost everyting in the website is automated. After the xml injection last month, are the payouts somewhat manual now? I have 2FA activated but two withdrawals (one slow, one instant) are pending for 3 days now.

 my account is secure with 2fa, and email of too, and an month ago i did charge out of some sats from my account, was ok, , but, some days ago, my mother ask me to withdraw part of your balance because she needs, and i did two withdraw on your account, one for out of the site, two parts of balance and one part, to new address on site, your account is secure too, with 2fa and no email or recovery phones..and email are secure too... are four days that i did it, and theses two withdraws are pending, im are thougth about account of my uncle, that are enable 2fa , with no email or phone recovery, and is good amount...if is a new scam happening, i will have problem with him, and i dont have money to pay.... ...
 i think that are 3 possiblethings that atre happening, one is>  the site was hacked and our money are security on yours could wallet, caiuse this, them are stopping withdraws... two> should admin have injuries and now iswaiting forrecuperation of your health, three>> them are scammed all of your users, and  goes out with all coins......,

 i hope that should be alternative one, and with the time, we will can take our money, because the site are working normally, less withdraws that are no working for awhile..

Red flags were raised months ago for me, I asked Quinn what the contingency plan was should the only two site operators fall ill, die, or something along those lines. His response was incredibly arrogant, but the short of it was they have NO contingency plan (as has become very apparent).

I withdrew 90% of my funds at that point.

I'm waiting over 24 hours now to withdraw the last of my funds (which is still $x,xxx) but it is not looking good at all.

I am hoping they will eventually make good on users funds and that there is some personal issues their end, but there is a chance our funds are gone for good at this point. Feel sorry for anybody who has got a large amount in here.

How did this end?
Did you manage to withdraw, given that you did not confirm via the link in the email whether the "funds" are still in your account?
I have some BTC sitting there, it's not a significant amount, but I will probably withdraw it (at least try) depending on how this discussion goes.

btw. Interesting, but I can't find any contact options on their site at all. There is a link to Bitcointalk, but not to their ANN or official representative.

You obviously don't know that it was a two-man operation - that was even confirmed on the forum. Whatever is happening, it is obvious that things no longer work as before, and there are only two people who can answer all the questions. For some reason, they don't want to do that and let everything go as it should until it collapses or things start moving in a positive direction.

I won't take long to red tagging wetsuit, TheQuin and the PR. There is no way this would happen on a decent site like Pokerstars where I play regularly.

A pity that a successful case of a business made from 0 in the forum and that will have made so much money in an honest way is neglected like this.
