Scrypt Cloud Has Been LAUNCHED!!!!
-
So post the story without the personal information and just spread that to the people affected directly by the scam then?
-
tbh i understand the position of the forum, but i truly believe this information is in the interest of the community, i hope they allow me to publish it…

[/quote]I can totally buy that they don’t want to hang someone out with name and address, that’s understandable. But if they forbid you to post the info you have on your hands in general, I’ll seriously consider ditching this place permanently since that would be a clear sign of the mods just wanting control and not what’s best for the community.
i.e. freedom when they see fit, and not freedom for everyone at all times (which kind of is a basic philosophy within crypto in general).
Mods, do the right thing here…

[/quote]I don’t think wildly spreading his information is leading to the goal; fixing the problem. You can better make sure the info is being brought together to look at the opportunities of getting anything done.

[/quote]It is not going to be a case of forbidding the spread of information, but a case of doing what is right for the Community, and we need to be careful to not post anything which could get Admins sued or the forum taken down through legal means, this would harm the community much more. That is why I asked mhamilton to let us discuss it first. Please bear with us.

[/quote]Check! Sounds like you’re backing your choice with the right reasons then (got a bit worried, started to sound a bit sovietish around here) :) Shouldn’t be a problem to expose the background behind all of this without exposing the person in public. If it’s truly a scam we have on our hands here the only right thing to do with his personal information is sending it to the local police and taking it from there.

[/quote]Here here! Thats the last thing we need! There was a post from a UK based solicitor not so long back, might be work giving him a tap up for a little free advice? I have run a forum in the past where a couple of guys decided to fall out and one of the decided to sue the other for slander and defamation of character! ended up costing me a few £ 100 in legal advice for them to get on with it!!
So be very careful guys, I know it looks like there has been wrong doing here, but the facts must be straight before there is any public slaying of the dragon or we will all be in for the high jump.
UM

[/quote]The last thing the community need is a pitchfork & torches situation where people walk through fire just to beat the living shit out of a supposed scammer. THAT will indeed just hurt the community in the long run. So yeah, get the police involved if you suspect a crime here :)

i intended to go down this route:
step one -
locate Shanestep two -
Attempt recovery of monies owedStep three -
report the scam to police if recovery unsuccessful. You have to remember though crypto coins in the eyes of the law are not money, its like reporting a stolen wow account to the police - not sure if they will even take it very seriously or do anything at all. the best route in my opinion is to privately recover the monies owed. -
…in a manner which does not break the law or imply breaking the law.

[/quote]Of course - there are many ways to recover money from someone without breaking the law
-
Without any further evidence it’s kinda hard to really get a good judgement on the situation. For all I care Shane is having the shivers due to issues with the processors and the wifi. The lack of communication is bad though.
-
Seems the Whois info was updated on the 22nd 10am this maybe to cover tracks or remove some info. There is a name and address present which maybe of use if your local and may have got burnt.
Yes worth noting to police, but I’m afraid they will just pass you to action fraud who will log the complain and issue you a crime number this is where it stops. I had a customer of mine scam around 3k on stolen card info it didn’t progress and further than the issue of a crime number.
Guess we need to learn from mistakes and be wary of sending funds and hoping for the best, as said in above post it’s soo easy to make a couple of grand in very little time with very little effort. This happened with a litecoin contract website only a week or so before this was posted!
We needs to treat coins with more care and as cash, would you give someone £1000 cash down the pub who you just met who promised to give you something in return next week with no contact information…
I still maybe wrong and hope he does the right thing, with people getting hot under the collar if any local customers can pop over to meet in person it may prompt him to refund instead of run. I guarantee his reading all of this each day, time will tell.
