From the desk of How Many Jim Slockney Lies Can You Count?:

Quote from: Cryptsy_Jim on December 22, 2015, 10:58:46 AM

I really dont have alot of time for reading this thread and i apologize to those with inquiring minds for that.

Two things id like to clear up.

Me, my wife and a customer support team known as "Support Shift" were brought in to assist in Dec 2013
due to the fast growing user base after that WSJ article came out.

Me and my wife managed that business and it was a perfect ready made team of awesome agents.

Yes, me and Paul worked on afew projects over the years together but i had no idea what a bitcoin was
when we first came to Cryptsy and Bitjohn and others gave me a crash course.

Marshall. ha Bloated hot air balloon was how I visioned him right out of the gate.

He did replace our current CTO for a short time but it didnt take long for ppl to lose respect for him because
he would do things like post being co creator. (100% bullshit) This pissed off alot of employees who worked'
their ass off and knew better. He may have had some investment, but he wasnt the only one who invested abit im sure.
Marshal was more blow than go

If anyone was Co Creator it was Bitjohn. Not owner but hes been there helping Paul since it was first created.

Eventually Marshal was sent to pasture. Im not exactly sure why, but everyone was glad to see him go including me.

Currently: I am still Customer Service Manager over the agents handling tickets, our PR guy (Horus), and some
of the verifications for upgrading Tier Levels.

I do not know whats happened. All i know is it all started going bad right after we added the new Tier Level systems for KYC
requirements and the major facelift and feature additions. So I can only "assume" that this is where the problem lies.
I do know this system is an extremely large, very complicated setup and when things go wrong it can prob be tough at times to
pinpoint where a problem lies.

I pass on info to users as I get it. Thats all I can do.

I have been informed that things should begin improving soon, what that entails or means is yet to be seen.

Knowing BigVern for many years, I can attest to the fact that whatever is wrong it is not something intentional or done maliciously by him.
Hes just not that type. He works hard, has a big heart and has always tried to make things right for users.
Im sure in the end this will be no different.

Greenlion was a volunteer mod he doesn't count probably. The layoffs were devs, netadmins and compliance there was a Tier II support employee in there in CS as well. So hes most likely referring to the Tier I CS agents.

Edit: Yes Jim did all the hiring. I was asked to bring him up to speed since the interface, and company was new to him and his team.

Edit 2: I was put on payroll when Jim came to the company for that reason. Yes I worked for Jim for some time.

Edit 3: Was going to quote gleb but its too long Ill just comment. Yes your timeline is pretty accurate 6-12 months not Leroy time. Ginny was not the first accountant. The first accountant left the company about 4-5 months ago. Bryant was the first CTO replaced by Marshall Long who also left a month or two ago. Supportshift was the company that came in and took over support and later just merged in. Yes myself Mullick, Horus and Pr9me were paid all at the same time when Jim was brought in though it was as contractors for the first check or two don't remember exactly. Jim did the hiring though a few folks were already doing most of the support so no he didn't hire them. They did all work for him.

To date there's not a one person involved with Cryptsy that has told the truth. NOT A FUCKIN' ONE!

This motherfucker, John William Hammes III aka BitJohn knew the fuckin' truth from the get-go and opted to continue the lie years later. Support Shift was dissolved approximately four months prior to Cryptsy coming online May 20, 2013. Jim Shockney supposedly joins Cryptsy in October 2013.

Ironically, Jeff Ownby of BFL used to work for John's father setting up a distribution in Russia for some sink thingy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KuRDb2OZaE

Gleb you post here for free yes? So yeah I volunteered just like your volunteering to solve the evils of the world. As far as picking coins yep I did that as a moderator at the time. There were not a million to pick from I maintained the list. The list if you spent some time you would find the old one I emphasized no pre-mine fair releases. I did it because I liked crypto. You post here because you I assume like crypto.

Unless your saying your a paid shill and doing it for money. I do not think saying I volunteered is a reach. I will also say prior to the time I was paid the company didn't make much money. Vern had a side job.... Companies have costs the costs ate the majority of the revenues in the first year.

Cryptsy started on May 20, 2013.

For the first year, you were an unpaid moderator because Cryptsy didn't yet have enough support to pay out salaries after having to pay overhead. This is up to circa Q2, 2014.

Backing up to Q3, 2013, Cryptsy was overwhelmed with users due to the run-up of bitcoins, in turn, myriad altcoins, the viable ones (mostly, supposedly, at the time) trading on Cryptsy. This took enormous personnel to handle, yet you're saying that nobody at Cryptsy save for an accountant was paid for their services during the first year of operation? This doesn't even begin to make sense.

Prior to the run-up just mullick and I worked support and did it as volunteers. The next person hired after accountant was the first developer/CTO. Im really not concerned if you think it makes sense its a fact. The site only had 30k account after the first year.

EDIT:
The support scaled pretty quickly when the support company was merged. Jshock and his crew joined the team. Mullick, and I trained them. Mullick moved to Florida, and started getting a paycheck. I joined after that.

The CTO was Bryant Ibana: http://web.archive.org/web/20131102234026/https://www.cryptsy.com/pages/about

https://www.linkedin.com/in/horus-thesun-48a56241

Don't forget that Horus was hired on in October, 2013, while you were still a moderator. You were still a moderator, supposedly, when you and Mullick trained the support team. I can only guess as to how much arm-twisting Paul Vernon had to do for you to finally start accepting a paycheck from the then-now in-the-black Cryptsy oppose to performing tremendous duties sans pay up to fully getting compensated.

Horus was also a moderator at the time he, Prime and myself all started getting paid the same day shortly after Mullick. So yeah your tracking now. Yes Bryant was the first CTO.

EDIT:
It wasn't my only job unlike everyone else I had a job. I also was not available for 9-5 work.

Im not saying your the bad guy, but at this point gleb how bout letting us try to get the coins back for users without all your extra nonsense?

As far as what was told to users by myself, horus and others who communicated to users: We were not informed as to why there were problems getting coins out until late 2015. We could only go by what little info was being passed to us.

Im not here to justify how the stolen coins were handled and Paul agrees that it should have been handled differently at the time.
However, the coins were stolen and are currently in process of hopefully being returned.
So lets hope for the best on that so that we can make alot of ppl happy and go from there.

December 22, 2015: Jim didn't know what's happening.
March 13, 2016: We knew late 2015.

Jim was hired on in October 2013, not in December 2013.

Jim said that he came directly from Support Shift with a perfect ready made team of awesome agents in Q3 2013, albeit the company was defunct in January 2013, with the awesome agents sitting around with their 'library of thumbs' up their asses waiting till the end of the year when Paul Vernon will put them back on the payroll.

Current: Jim Slockney now wants you to believe that I'm a fuckin' nut case in sprite of the truism I penned above, and that he's the savior for all those that lost millions.

My response? GO FUCK YOURSELF, JIM SLOCKNEY!
