unfortunately it is really true and it happened today.
as i found out today, Xprim777 was called by yogg today and the bastard Patrick told him that all 21 playtoshi cards he is about to sweep.
he found the pk's on his computer...

Wow. This is a whole new level to the scam. Now he's literally calling people in advance and giving them a heads up that he's about to sweep more? That's literally psychopath behavior. I'm sure he's reading all these threads and getting off on it. Please folks, if you have any private key this psycho created, get the funds before this can go any further. The whole situation is terrible. I'm reading about this guy taking loans from people? Did everyone know that he had multiple loans? This is the sort of thing that would discourage buyers from trusting someone. Maybe a thread needs to be created keeping track of individuals that control private keys and ask for loans? Looking back, it seems that all the warning signs were there, but people were blinded by friendship. I think instead of worrying about recovering funds or making Yogg's life miserable (which is understandably justified) we should be trying to figure out how to keep this from happening again.

Pretty crazy that I'd rather have a loaded microsoul coin than a coldkey now. I mean how much of a d bag could one person be. Blatantly stealing what amounts to a couple gallons of milk from each card lol. I mean are people really not peeling these yet. Why wouldn't you at this point?

I really liked Cold Key, well guess theres egg on my face.

coldkey belongs to history since mid january!
let's look forward and enjoy the new project Icarus Cool

it's really not worth to get upset about this guy. he chose this and then he should live like this...
but we here in our great collectibles community can only be happy that we have so many great collectibles makers with very different ideas and they also come from all over the world!

I actually think that in the case of the Playtoshi that this will increase the value over time. The ones that remain in original condition with holograms still intact will fetch a pretty penny in the future. The $28 stolen load value is inconsequential to the inherent value of this collectable. This theft just gave Playtoshi a great historical backstory. That being said Patrick needs to be brought to justice. I support what Sats life said the other day. The charity money raised should be used to hire legal representation.

it's incredible that he continues to "re-discover" his old keys, and this means many things.
The first is that he doesn't regret what happened at all, he lied about the key back-ups (probably has planned well and it doesn't want a one-kind issue).
He was trying to build relationship and trust with many members of forum.
Much more important what it was defined as "Personal Problems" however temporary/not-expeted, instead seems to have a certain "frequency" Sad

. Plus he destroyed a nice "brand" (and who knows probably also his vision of this hobby/free time).
Well, there is not much important as free time, and destroying a passion an inspiration is really a depreful act.

Whether it's gambling addiction, or drug addiction, it's best (always) to get to the "bottom" of these issues.

All this is a damn shame. Yogg! A new expletive.

I've always thought there are basically 4 categories for physical bitcoins: 1. Loaded. 2. Buyer Funded or Unfunded. 3. DIY 4. Token. Have scammers created a fifth? 5. Rugged coin (has the holo and PK untampered but swept)? Doubtful this gains any premium but Physical Bitcoins are like collecting artifacts of early BTC adoption. All the scumbaggery done by the likes of Yogg and others are unfortunately a big part of the story.

I swept all except for the bonds as I am still awaiting the locktime date to arrive...But will check them now and see if he swept mine!

Does it help to setup a signed transaction already? I wouldn't mind creating a cronjob that tries to broadcast a bunch of transactions every minute. Once it's accepted by the network, bitcoind (which I have running anyway) will broadcast it. From the paper, I assume you'll need 2 transactions: the timelocked one, and the one moving out of the address on there.
If anyone's interested, I'll set this up. Note that I won't need any private keys for this, just signed transactions.
If yogg kept the private keys used to created the locked transaction, all this is futile Sad

11 were swept on 4/3/2023 - what strikes me odd about this is that while all swept at the same time, they all went to separate addresses vs going to one/the same address.

He must have swept them one by one. At the first batch he stole, it took him hours to empty all private keys. That's not what an experienced scammer would do, but it (kinda) makes sense for a gambling addict (who may have been under influence while doing it).

all I will say is this - if you have one of the playtoshi sets - do not sell it, keep it - there will be a reason why. I normally would not say anything but I dont want anyone to sell their set prematurely, there is a reason to hodl them.

I agree wholeheartedly. Was not an offer to buy on my part, just inform or donate the sats myself

If anyone would like to sell me their playtoshi, PM me

I will pay 0.001 which is the bitcoin value you have lost + I will pay for shipping and escrow fee.

First come first served.

Sad offer for something that cost .01 with .001 loading…. Many other words come to mind…. But if a playtoshi ownerneeds .001 that badly please reach out to me first. I’d do better.

Agree! Those things went for big money & no one is gonna add insult to injury & let someone grab one for .001 😂

Secondly, create your own WTB post if you’re gonna offer scraps to folks who have been through a lot already.

He was trusted because he was an early bitcoin talk member. Many people (including myself) have met him personally.

First time was coinfest 2017.

That is an interesting point to ponder. How much more distrustful of people here since we are all anonymous people behind a keyboard.
Once you have a F2F meeting with someone, the entire dynamic changes.

I have met a bunch of people here though the years to do trades and at events.

If there was a question of trusting them or not, I will probably trust them more because I HAVE met them. Which when you think about it really is kind of silly. Handing out after an event grabbing a beer and some food really does not make a person more honest. Con-artists and scammers do that for a living.

How many of us would not have gotten burned if he never showed his face and just sold things here.

This yogg guy is the lowest of the low and makes this community an absolute joke.

Does anyone even know why this Yogg guy was so trusted to begin with? Nobody even seems to know much about him.

On top of what polymerbit said above I think some people "trusted" this guy because he was DT1 and they were doing politics, and some other people because this business is mainly a matter of reputation, and a lack of it could severely hurt this business and the value of the cards.
I remember a guy from the french board (not even DT) tried to put a red feedback on the Coldkey account 2 or 3 years ago and almost instantly he got a PM from a guy he had never heard of before, threatening and insulting him until he withdrew his feedback.

First time was coinfest 2017.

He had a great idea, and intentions seemed solid. He made the keys for the 10 year anniversary notes because he was trusted more than us at the time.

Personally, I'm more upset at the damage he did to the community than the funds I lost.

There are still copper halving sets that haven't been swept: https://mempool.space/address/bc1qckqv39ny2yctc4f90hunpckpeduwhc9yfupgs2

I would be sweeping them if I were you (I already swept mine which is how i traced these transactions)

So assuming the premium is destroyed (again) this breach was valued at 0.20 or more bitcoin.
