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 we’ve been attacked. In 3 days his balance somehow grew from 0 to 44 BTC. Even 5TH/s ASIC won’t 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$.

It’s 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.

Regards,
50BTC.com team

and... the rest of us still want our money.
