20% of that belongs to me, Michael. Please return it.

The one or two public complaints about my sites were already long-since resolved by me PUBLICLY in this forum. If anyone has a complaint - EVER - I am happy to ADDRESS it publicly right here. We have 10,000+ clients. So go ahead, fire away. I'm not hiding - I'm right here to address anything and everything. What's your beef?

MY BEEF:

Michael Moriarty / moriartybitcoin owes me 127 BTC worth around $80,000 which I entrusted to him at his BitLaunder.com site. He has deliberately refused to return these funds to me since June 25.

BACKGROUND :

In mid June I concocted a scheme to use sock puppet accounts in obtaining more than the maximum allowed individual allocation of the new FIMK cryptocurrency which launched several weeks ago. Part of my plan was to use BitLaunder.com to disguise the common pool origin of Bitcoins donated by these sock puppet accounts. The actions of Michael Moriarty / moriartybitcoin at BitLaunder.com described below disrupted my plan. With time running out, I then implemented a second clumsy plan which was easily discovered. I have apologized to the FIMK developers for my attempt to thwart the terms of their launch. I have been forgiven by them and granted a stake considerably smaller than what I would have received if I had just followed the rules. Karma is real.

FACTS (With key points in red) :

PART I : ACCOUNTING FORENSICS OF A SCAM

FACT 1. Michael Moriarty (MM) is the system administrator (sysadmin) at the website Bitlaunder.com, as documented by a Cryptocoin News interview with MM written by Juran Camponella ("JC") and published on May 17, 2014. This article was later taken offline but will be reproduced in a compilation of all documentation referenced in this thread to be provided at a link below.

FACT 2. The Bitlaunder.com site is advertised by MM as being unlimited volume at MMs other Bitcoin Network site of Coinchimp.com:

https://coinchimp.com/

FACT 3. Based on representations made by MM in the Cryptocoin News interview and other Bitcoin Network sites, rickyjames (RJ) established a user account under that name at Bitlaunder.com on June 24, as verified by email from BitLaunder.com.

FACT 4. RJ deposited into BitLaunder.com a total of 132.34862 Bitcoins (BTC) worth approximately $80,000 via four transfers from the three RJ-controlled BTC wallets:

(RiQ) : 1NcRZFL6NRz4XS8o1JEJnFVvGQn8WD8RiQ
(A9V): 13widGzKBG8gfvrQDLuKcG4fv8upftuA9V
(CrMY): 1FMzWFzkVTnrojMYXpohewdjCfsx84CrMY

to the single BitLaunder.com specified / MM-controlled BTC wallet:

(Exu): 18wEyndMhed2Q9UZeLZVLfUVEoKP5fHExu

In the amounts of

  75.70000000 BTC at 2014-06-24 21:26:29 via "CrMY"
+04.16377350 BTC at 2014-06-25 01:30:56 via "A9V"
+51.98484847 BTC at 2014-06-25 03:20:33 via "RiQ"
+00.50000000 BTC at 2014-06-26 22:06:57 via "CrMY"
_________________
132.34862197 BTC total was deposited by RJ with Bitlaunder.com / MM

as documented by the public record blockchain.info links below:

https://blockchain.info/address/18wEyndMhed2Q9UZeLZVLfUVEoKP5fHExu

FACT 5.   By accepting RJs 132.34862197 BTC at Exu, MM effectively entered into a contract with RJ to MANUALLY process / mix within 24 hours the user RJs Bitcoins within terms specified at Bitlaunder.com.

MM / BitLaunder.com charged a routine 3% fee of 132.34862197 * 0.03 = 3.970458659 BTC to provide coin mixing services.

RJ does not dispute MMs claim to this fee of 3.970458659 BTC worth around $2500, despite service by MM that is deemed totally unacceptable by RJ since June 25.

FACT 6.   RJ retained ownership of 132.348621970 3.970458659
= 128.378163311 BTC in his BitLaunder account, to be mixed or refunded by MM as later specified by RJ.

FACT 7.   Via two distinct sessions on June 24 and June 25 using automated Bitlaunder order screens, RJ provided the 24 wallet account numbers specified below to accept mixed Bitcoins in the corresponding amounts specified below. Bitlaunder.com numbered these mixing orders as ID 517-530 and ID 533-542.

127.28430598 BTC was specified for mixing by RJ, leaving an intended Bitlaunder.com account balance of 1.093857331 BTC

Finally, RJ made two withdrawals of all remaining account Bitcoins on June 26, to zero his account at BitLaunder.com.

24 mixing and 2 withdrawal requests were made by RJ. One wallet was specified for two separate mixes due to an error in entering its correct amount on the first try. Thus there are 27 "2fa" links for 26 requests.

FACT 9. Of the 24 mixing requests RJ specified, MM only filled 1 of them:

ID 525 for 1.379791050 BTC at 2014-06-25 03:32:40 to wallet 1DX6ZhrZk1bJ4GSkk7rvZerrH3eDz1K8mt, as verified by the link below:

https://blockchain.info/address/1DX6ZhrZk1bJ4GSkk7rvZerrH3eDz1K8mt

Note that this single mixing request fulfilled is the smallest one specified in the list of 24 given above.

FACT 10. Of the 2 refund requests RJ specified, MM only filled 1 of them:

0.024372600 BTC at 2014-06-25 03:32:40 to wallet 1FMzWFzkVTnrojMYXpohewdjCfsx84CrMY, as verified by the link below:

https://blockchain.info/address/1FMzWFzkVTnrojMYXpohewdjCfsx84CrMY

Note that this single refund request fulfilled is the smallest one specified in the list of 2 given above.

FACT 11. The claim that the 2nd of RJ's refund requests has NOT been filled by MM can be verified by examining the "CrMY" link above, which does NOT show a 1.069484731 BTC deposit of unmixed coins by MM in the time period of June 24 to the present.

The claim that 23 of RJ's mixing requests have NOT been filled by MM can be verified by examining each of the wallet address links below, which do NOT show any requested deposit of mixed coins by MM in the time period of June 24 to the present:

With the processing of just the single mixing request and just the single refund request outlined above,

RJ hereby claims that MM owes RJ 126.963999661 BTC and has not yet transferred it to the agreed-upon RJ-controlled "RiQ" wallet.

PART II : SOCIAL FORENSICS OF A SCAM

FACT 12. Upon realizing that MM / BitLaunder.com was withholding BTC beyond the promised 24 hour turnaround window, RJ initiated a series of service requests via the BitLaunder.com automated support page:

M16NFADY on Wed, 25 Jun 2014 11:51:33 - Requesting estimated completion time once 24 hr timeline exceeded
MJZVWGZB on Wed, 25 Jun 2014 22:38:33 - Requesting coins go thru instant automated process, not manual one
M81BLXEX on Thu, 26 Jun 2014 17:01:35 - Requesting abort of mixing and account total lump sum refund
MSR515HJ on Fri, 27 Jun 2014 02:22:04 - Repeating refund request of account total lump sum to RJ controlled wallet "RiQ"

No response other than an automated "acknowledgement" was received to any of the four service requests above initiated by RJ.

FACT 13. During a RJ login to BitLaunder.com on Fri, 27 June 2014, the website responded with words to the effect of "inactive user account - click on email link to reinstate and email support@bitlainder.com to request link resend if required". No link was found in email folder.

RJ sent an email directly to support@bitlainder.com on Fri, 27 Jun 2014 11:16:04 requesting account reinstatement link resend. No link was sent from BitLaunder.com and RJ has been locked out of his BitLaunder account since June 27.

FACT 14. RJ wrote 4 emails directly to MM at moriarty.bitcoin@gmail.com, and copied all to Jeran Camponella ("JC") of Cryptocoin News , author of the interview where RJ first heard of MM's BitLaunder mixing service. There was no response by MM to any of the four RJ emails below.

Email 1 - Sat, 28 Jun 2014 07:34:24 - Summarized facts above and requested lump sum refund of 125 BTC "round amount".
Email 2 - Sun, 29 Jun 2014 08:10:39 - Repeated refund request for 125 BTC "round amount"; stated intention of RJ meeting MM face to face at San Francisco Bitcoin meetup to resolve
Email 3 - Mon, 30 Jun 2014 19:42:13 - Repeated refund request for 125 BTC "round amount"; stated intention of RJ providing PDF "facts document" to all Bitcoin meetup members, FBI (since BitLaunder.com server is located in San Francisco, USA) and RCMP (since MM is presumably located in Vancouver, Canada)
Email 4 - Tue, 1 Jul 2014 04:13:17 - Repeated refund request for 125 BTC "round amount"; stated intention of RJ involving FBI to implement seizure of all MM servers and issue site takedown notices

FACT 15. Jeran Camponella (JC) of Cryptocoin News established an ongoing correspondence with MM beginning July 1 regarding the emails described above.

FACT 16. MM wrote to JC on Sun, Jul 6, 2014, and effectively offered a bribe to JC to stop asking embarrassing questions about how MM ignores facts presented by RJ:

"What I would like you to do is simply ignore this extortionist scammer and if he wants to send his 'pdf' to the Feds, I can guarantee he's the one who will be arrested, for the reasons I stated above (those coins are almost certainly hacked/stolen from some other site). In return for having my back and publishing an occasional article about one of my sites, I'll be sending you a reliable 3BTC per month. That's 36 btc per year."

FACT 17. JC wrote to MM on Sun, Jul 6, 2014, and declined offer to go on MM payroll in exchange for stories. JC continued to focus on MM inconsistencies of logic and action in further emails.

MM eventually responded to JC:

"I checked into 'rickyjames' on both bitcointalk and NXTforum and, you're right, he [RJ] is legit and his coins are legit, so he will be getting them back shortly."

FACT 18. RJ wrote to MM on Sun, 6 Jul 2014 18:16:18, for the first time since Email 4 above:

"Hello Michael -

Thank you for your ongoing dialogue with Jeran Campanella. He [JC] has told me [RJ] that you [MM] want a bitcoin address to send me 125 BTC and achieve closure on our Bitlaunder situation.

Please use the address I [RJ] used to deposit most / all of my coins at Bitlaunder:

1NcRZFL6NRz4XS8o1JEJnFVvGQn8WD8RiQ

I [RJ] agree that 125 BTC ["rounded amount"] sent to this address will resolve all my [RJ's] outstanding concerns and that I [RJ] will take no actions in the future against you [MM] or your reputation."

FACT 19. MM wrote to RJ at Sun, 6 Jul 2014 18:38:41, in his first direct communication with RJ and as a response to the email above:

"Hi,

Understood. Will be sent shortly. MM"

FACT 20. MM wrote to RJ at Sun, 6 Jul 2014 18:40:33:

I am sending 0.01 to that address just to ensure you copy-pasted the correct address. Please confirm receipt of this small amount.

It would be a real tragedy to send 125btc to the wrong person! MM"

FACT 21. MM DID transfer an initial 0.01 BTC to RJ-controlled wallet "RiQ" as its most recent transaction, as can be verified at the link below:

https://blockchain.info/address/1NcRZFL6NRz4XS8o1JEJnFVvGQn8WD8RiQ

FACT 22. RJ wrote to MM at 6 Jul 2014 19:13:26:

I appreciate your caution. Test amount received, see attached."

FACT 23. MM wrote to RJ on Sun, 6 Jul 2014 19:16:06:

"Ok, one sec. Will take maybe thirty minutes in total as these funds are stored in offline wallets. Sending now".

FACT 24. MM DID NOT transfer a subsequent 126.963999661
BTC to RJ-controlled wallet "RiQ", as can be verified at the link below:

https://blockchain.info/address/1NcRZFL6NRz4XS8o1JEJnFVvGQn8WD8RiQ

FACT 25. MM wrote to RJ on Sun, 6 Jul 2014 19:22:34:

"Hi, I'm just wondering, did you contact anyone other than Jeran? Because I seem to be off the advisory boards of several companies all of a sudden .."

FACT 26. RJ wrote to MM at Sun, 6 Jul 2014 19:49:32

"Jeran is the only person I have contacted about this situation. I will contact or discuss this with nobody else in the future."

FACT 27. MM has not communicated with either RJ or JC since his final email above about being "off the advisory boards", despite numerous attempts in the past two weeks by RJ and JC to reestablish email contact. Research shows that MM has been removed from the "New Money Systems" and "Futurists" advisory boards of The Lifeboat Foundation, as shown by a MM biography page which has been removed from that site but is still available via Google cache at:

http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:xrDOWNbqHUUJ:lifeboat.com/ex/bios.michael.moriarty%3Fbackground%3Dwhite+&cd=6&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us

FACT 28. RJ has not besmirched MM at The Lifeboat Foundation in any way. Further, RJ has not at this time besmirched MM to any Bitcoin meetup or law enforcement personnel as previously contemplated, deciding instead to air grievances with MM solely here in this Bitcointalk thread.

FACT 29. MM acknowledges owing RJ 126.963999661 BTC and has not yet transferred it to the agreed-upon RJ-controlled "RiQ" wallet. MM has not communicated with RJ or JC during the past two weeks to discuss this situation or its resolution.

All articles and emails discussed above will be compiled into a single document available at the following link: TBD.

CONCLUSION :

**************************************************************

MICHAEL MORIARTY / moriartybitcoin / IS A THIEF

BITLAUNDER.COM / OTHER "BITCOIN NETWORK" SITES ARE A SCAM

**************************************************************

Michael - All I want is my 126.963999661 BTC back. Please return it. Keeping it is not worth the damage this thread will do to your reputation and your Bitcoin Network.

I will erase this and all other original posts as I have promised to do upon return of the BTC you owe me.

Do the right thing. Make the right decision. Return my 126.963999661 BTC.

Thanks.

-RJ
