Damn, usually victims just let it go, you go man! See it through to the end. Any scammers in the future dealing with you, send him this thread and scare their ass.
Well honestly, thats sort of the point. Someone needs to put their foot down and do all they can, using the legal system, to stop this bullshit. Honestly, for me, the one silver bitcoin is a big deal because it had a lot of sentimental value and I only offered it for sale because I was in a tight financial spot. I have since borrowed some cash from my father, so I am okay right now - but what this guy did isn't okay. Someone has to show the scammers out there that while sticking within the law, and following the rules, it still possible to catch them.
Andy - I know you're reading this thread, and I know at this point you have to be concerned. I am still willing to shut this entire process down if you return my coin or pay me, and return nmat's coins or pay him. But at this point, I have put time into this. I have more time and work to put in, at some point I am going to become unwilling to let this go man. You're on a clock to make this right.
Also, nmat has agreed to the cost of the private eye - so at this point we are moving forward. You are now going to have to compensate us for money spent pursuing you to get us to go away.
