Dear users,
This man have been blackmailing us for a while now.
According to his story he had 44 BTC before the attack.
According to his payout history:
2013-09-30 22:50:57 ab21717166a6b6926d7c222b4444a8293789d054f56d4b0b570b72a82700b365 - 0.01033231 BTC to 1LAscboM65juGQsHz1UZhE4dFNg7hDHqmC
2013-10-12 07:28:58 c44a76884c620eb1a89a0171883290bfcaf1371725d0223e63174627377e9cf2 - 0.01035159 BTC to 1LAscboM65juGQsHz1UZhE4dFNg7hDHqmC
And the last transaction took place 2013-10-15 09:43:13 1b9ab4172777e045f0d053edad18bb41f7fc29d72bd6aa7abbe6c2d315661371 - 0.01554411 BTC to 15eEGA9UgNPtbqDuMqYfFXQNZaUrn95NVr
No more than 0.02 BTC payout for 2 weeks.
2013-10-18 weve been attacked. In 3 days his balance somehow grew from 0 to 44 BTC. Even 5TH/s ASIC wont let you do that @267731249 difficulty.
Also, on December 2 he claimed in Skype I have 2 weeks to get this settled and get my rent payed or i will be homeless and evicted from my home, nevertheless on December 4 according to his Bitcointalk message history he was ready to buy ASIC for 12000$.
Its either a scammer with possible multiple accounts - see Meyblaubaer
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=54673.msg4134228#msg4134228 and their writing style similarity or/and a competitor pool which changed the tactics from DDoS to blackmailing.
We have contacted abuse team of bitcointalk about the issue.
