Thanks to the collaboration of a bitcointalk Staff team who are providing information such as their IP address, we will be able to track this person with authorities.
Out of curiosity, is this really true since I never saw moderator reveals a confidential information of any user here since forum moderator don’t moderate scam.
Edit:
I checked the about privacy of the forum and found out this
At our sole discretion, we may (noncommercially) share or extend retention on any of a specific user's userdata even without law-enforcement involvement. This is very rare.
This is a serious claim, really for $500 will they provide information of one user, he mentioned a Bitcointalk staff member so it is from one staff alone and for $500 can he really go to the extend of going to court even if the accuse is coming from the other side of his world.
Not because you tracked the person's IP it means that you can easily catch the person you need court order to do that and if he agreed to a refund the hassle and all the money you spent is not worth it, remember it will cost you to a hire a lawyer and file a case.
Its not that I discourage you but you have to be realistic on how can you want to go, if there is a way to settle it here the better.
You also need to first show your proof that you have been scammed or a link of your previous scam if you have one.
