He's has a account here on btc talk. He is/was (can't tell) the organizer for the chicago bitcoin meetup which he seems to use to pump his many businesses (constantly sends out advertisements to us). He definitely seems like a shady business man that just trying to get a buck. I wouldn't trust $1 with him.
Thanks. I think he also is in charge of the Seattle bitcoin meet-up.
Have you ever seen his face? Know his real name? That kind of thing?
If you really want someone to dig into someones background, I recall someone in the Gambling / Lending boards who provides a type of "background check" service for BTC fee, I think its the same type of background check for loans etc. User: RiverBoatBTC but I could be thinking of the wrong person, I haven't been around those boards lately.
I recall someone talking about Moriarty a bit back and they claimed he should be avoided because he paid for an fluffy interview or article to be written about him or his sites. (I don't even remember what site or what it was even about).
As a humorous side note, Wikipedia says: Professor Moriarty is a fictional character in Sherlock Holmes books "...a real-life criminal mastermind...", "The character was introduced primarily as a narrative device to enable Conan Doyle to kill off Sherlock Holmes..."
Could be a coincidence
