I'm not sure if there's a more recent thread for this, but the bASIC-Mining one was locked a few months back, (apparently by creativex himself). [https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=130982.2100]

I know it's been years, but this scam still intrigues me and would love it if we could come to some sort of conclusion or get a response from creativex. I know he was still active on these forums as late as May for posting and deleted some details in the original bASIC-mining thread more recently.

In the btt thread above, there's discussion on a Google group, (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/basic-mining), and some photos of what looks like, Eric's brother, Brett Corlew. I think this is Brett's facebook profile → https://www.facebook.com/brett.corlew.7 maybe he knows something more about Eric's whereabouts. Here's some more info on him & his criminal history → https://www.rapsheets.org/michigan/doc-prisoner/CORLEW_BRETT/781538.

In the obituary of Eric's mother, → http://obits.mlive.com/obituaries/grandrapids/obituary.aspx?pid=171725093 it states that she is survived by a few grandchildren, I wonder if they're the children of Eric's, Brett's, (or other siblings). One of them, Kyle Corlew, looks like he has a Facebook profile → https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100008674654405 and possibly also Brandon Corlew here → https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100011765444623.

Anyone else still interested in pursuing this or am I the only one?
