I sent about $10 worth of bitcoin to scrypt.cc a couple of months ago, before having read any of this information. I kind of forgot about it until today, when I checked the site and found that, even with "auto-reinvest" on, my account is only worth about $8.00. I would like to investigate the nature of the $2.00 loss, but I have no transaction history older than two days - it has all been deleted. So all I know is I sent 0.04 BTC, and I now (allegedly) have a pending withdrawal for 0.036 BTC. I suspect I may have, like many others, mysteriously lost 37 KHS, and also suffered the devaluation after the change to MHS. Not that it matters, because there are no KHS or MHS, and there is probably very little BTC left, either.

The reason I bring this up, though, is that even if it were not a complete scam (which it is), and even if my 0.036 BTC withdrawal actually goes through (we'll see, but I'm not holding my breath), it wasn't profitable to begin with, at least for me, over the last two months or so. If you're going to make up a fake mining service in order to attract money from people so you can steal it, you ought to at least make it look profitable on paper.

Thanks to those of you who did the work necessary to demonstrate the scam.

It has been devalued to no end. There has been no evidence that this site has taken it and given it to someone else, just the most commonly accepted theory. For $10 months ago to be worth 8 bucks you should pull out before it gets devalued any further.

The issue of you money not being worth as much has been described here as well as else where, The proof supporting that it has been given to any one else has not...

Obvioulsy, though, my money has gone to someone else. If I sent 0.04 BTC, and I now only have 0.036 BTC, then 0.004 BTC has gone to someone else. I guess that what you mean is that I have no proof that someone else stole it. But I don't want to put words in your mouth. Is that what you mean?

not quite i mean he took your money for himself. Your money was his when it got to him. Anything after is what you have left. Congrats, if you leave it it might grow and then never withdraw, people have that issue i don't.
If you pull it out now you have what you have. Take it and go elsewhere...

Well, yes, of course, I have already requested a withdrawal. But it hasn't been sent yet, and it might be too late. I'm not worried about having lost a few dollars. I do feel bad for people who lost substantial amounts of money, though. I've seen some figures in the 8 BTC range in other threads. Hopefully someone can track the scammer down.
