he kept the mining rewards and did not pass it on to his end customer, I know because I am talking with his customer.
yes it was a separate sale
Okay so that to me says they scammed bigtimespaghetti. They lied to create the illusion they had been wronged and then took funds they knew they weren't entitled to. The amount doesn't matter not that 80$ is insignificant.
Never dealt with either of you but the chat logs do show your the sort of people I'd happily trade with.
I personally would support a scam flag on this user if bigtimespaghetti creates one. It has to be created by the party who was scammed. If you do create one this thread should work for the link and just update here that you created it and I'll support it when I can.
