[...] And BTW: you never replied as to how much did he offer you in order to defend him???
Dude, you're threading on thin ice here. Let's see, who's more respected/trusted here: the one being "Legendary" with a
+45 trust score, or the other one who's a "full member" with a
-2 trust rating...?
Anyway: watch it with the unfounded accusations...
On the other hand I must say that I find Steven's story less probable with each passing day. All electronic verifications are not possible for one reason or the other. And the passport picture - as said by others - is easily fakeable... don't know, but I've been doing business with BTC-e for years now, without any issues...
The negative rating was added by
cryptodevil because of this thread here.
Which is a desperate action of a guilty man.
EDIT: And BTW many
"trusted" people on the forum turned out to be
Major scammers. Some have stolen
hundreds of bitcoins and they were among the pillars here. That's why the trust setting must be available only to people you actually traded with on the forum - with proof etc. Otherwise anyone could boost/destroy your rating without even knowing you.
