I see that some multi-account scammers are being joined into one account now. It's a move in the right direction, but it sure would have been nice if BTCJam had caught these people BEFORE they ran away with investors money under 5 or 10 different accounts.  Obviously, you have evidence tying these accounts together, so its pretty disappointing that you haven't acted on it until now.

with more than 2.000 active users this happened only with one user.
This is what happened:

1- The user submitted documents the first time, accepted.
2 - Opened another account, documents not accepted, somehow managed to get funds with anonymous account
3 - repeat step 2 3x times
4 - Link paypal on last account, gets caught same day

Now that we do not let anonymous borrowers the above scheme will not work anymore. I'm sorry we didn't do that sooner.
