Because he had worked with exch and even received donations from him, I trusted him. But apparently, that wasn’t enough. He turned out to be a real scammer who was just looking to take advantage of someone before disappearing.
You seem to have misinterpreted his relationship with eXch.
He only developed the SimpleX bot on his initiative, probably with the idea of creating a universal solution, and at the same time, he would have a certain profit through the eXch affiliate partner program.
At the same time, eXch also voluntarily sent donations (not only for this project) as part of their initiative to support promising ideas.
Somehow, you connected that he enjoys the trust of eXch, which was wrong.
I don't know what amount it is, but it doesn't seem logical to me that someone who received 0.3 BTC as a gift cheats someone else for an amount significantly smaller than that.
Also, I would not immediately accuse paid2 of complicity here, he already launched affiliate signature campaigns to promote his referral link from eXch and Orangefren.
According to him, the exch still owes him 0.8 BTC for the work he did for them. As I mentioned before, his initial approach was likely with scam just intention since the exch has disappeared, he also believes there’s no reason to continue here, so he deleted all his threads and left. He clearly had a scammer mindset, and using tools or projects from someone with that kind of personality is was always risky.
I’m not accusing @Paid2 . He claims to have a good relationship with @Paid2, but I was a bit suspicious.
The reason I’m making this post isn’t to try and recover my money (which isn’t possible), but simply
to warn everyone. Even people who seem trustworthy, or looks like be legitimate,
can turn out to be scammers.Scammer words (could be a lie but just sharing)
He still ove me pay 0.8 BTC for work we are done.. but now he is gone forver i guess
I still have server that eXch gave me, it's paid for next few years
