Just in case anyone is any doubts (about the illegality of Ponzi schemes)…
http://phys.org/news/2014-08-agency-consumers-bitcoin.html
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau said Monday that it will begin fielding complaints from people who rely on products such as Bitcoin and online exchanges for such currencies.
In issuing an advisory warning, the agency noted that the currencies are not backed by the government, have volatile exchanges rates and are targeted by hackers and scammers. And unlike bank accounts, Bitcoin-based deposits are not federally insured.
“Consumers are stepping into the Wild West,” CFPB Director Richard Cordray said in a statement.
The Securities and Exchange Commission previously issued an investor alert about Ponzi schemes involving virtual currencies.
Advocates for virtual currencies said they thought the CFPB’s characterization of the currencies was generally fair.
Jim Harper, global policy counsel for the Bitcoin Foundation, called the CFPB’s warning “pretty standard.” He noted that it’s “helpful to the extent that it informs consumers without scaring them.”

[member=‘kris_davison’]
Does feathercoin.com has brocken block explorer? Because the transaction realy exists
(9600 invested earlier, 11520 paid by transaction; the sum with fee 12000 = 1.25 * 9600; the payout 11520 = 1.2 * 9600; the fee 0.05)
[member=‘Calem’], it is third party widget What’s Next from AddThis. Widget collects it’s own statistics and shows visitors recommended content as they scroll to keep them on the website. The recommended page is not exist now and the popup you saw was linked to the removed URL. So when AddThis statistics are updated the next time, this popup will appear never.

Where getting there. Just gotta see what the deal with this tx issue is.
-

Maybe, however I haven’t received any coins back :(

Rob, you sent 1k ftc to his hyip? You were the one warning everyone in the first place…
Also, his hyip thing only leaves the last person to put in as the bag holder… The only way he owes you anything is if you were the last person to send ftc to the hyip.
-
I did indeed.
2 separate transactions of 500 FTC. I did this at the very beginning of June, before I really knew what HYIP was. I was stupid, I know.
-
He is claiming he has sent you some coins. Do we know the address he “sent” them too?
-
My 2 outgoing TX
https://explorer.feathercoin.com/t/6w1Lmm2GSx
https://explorer.feathercoin.com/t/7SzZzLheKU
He has never asked me what my address is.
-
Still Nothing :(
MensFreedom seems to have disappeared.

Rob.
Who are you?
We’ve been double teamed before.
Tell me I’m paranoid.
How can either of you prove your cases?
If you want, we can trace IP’s and fix this if you two can’t figure it our for yourselve’s.
Sorry for sounding rude but we have a lot of important work going on… The Russian “Mensfreedom” has thrown a spanner in the works…
How much did you loose (you claim)
If you really are a victim, I feel your pain but help us help you…
Actualy you know what.
Take some responsibility for your actions.
Research before you throw money, this was fishy from square one.
-
I will personally reimburse you to end this.
What did you loose.

Calem,
Thanks for the offer, but really it’s OK.
I guess there is no way of proving it, although I don’t go around making up random BS.
Close this thread. I knew I wasn’t getting it back a month ago, but when he came back around offering the pot back, I got my hopes up.

Sorry to hear that Rob. We do our best to highlight problems without putting off genuine members contributions.
