That's a red herring. He isn't the accused.

moriarty was linked to blacklilac financial (see similarities in business registration details earlier this thread) and I KNOW that person is Grant Millar, who had been living in Vancouver.

It doesn't.

Hmm, someone had linked moriarty to this guy who'd ripped me off in the past, read below;


I'm unfamiliar with any of the sites you listed, but this guy has his dirty fingers in a lot of pies..Does that name, Grant Millar, ring any bells?

it's a pretty convincing act if it is. the new guy is filipino (half his posts are in tagalo or whichever dialect) and he's all into gambling style sites and he's part of a sig campaign he says will give him ROI for the cost of the account in 5 days.

He has now sold that account.

The moriarty account is still active and has existing businesses associated with it.

Anyone following this should pick it up at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=892946.0

Forgottenpassword discovered "moriarty" had registered 1 of his companies with a very similar address to another scam company called Blacklilac Financial that I'd been scammed by. I found out the name of the person behind this, Grant Millar. I also found out the personal address he had at the time (more info at my scam thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=321290.0).
If anyone wants to pursue this I can hand over the info I and the PI I hired picked up on him.

It does seems likely with the same fake business address that it's our guy. I have Grant Millars home address as of early last year. I also have details of one of his ex business partners (who stopped doing business with him because he was a scammer). I hired a PI who contacted him earlier last year, he's not keen on talking but he might have the latest info on this sociopath.

If this guy is the same as my "friend" grant millar https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=321290.40, feel free to contact me. I'll give you all the info I have on him (including last known address).

I hadn't been active on here for some time. I see he came back. If anyone wants to know his real name and last known address pm me.

Appreciate the input.
I've spoken with the BC Securities Commission and will submit the information to Canadas "anti fraud" department (who will not take action of themselves but will retain information on file for use in potential future legal proceeedings).
Admittedly this hasn't had my full attention lately but I'll arrange for the PI to deliver a document outlying how I can prove Grant Millars fraud, the agencies that are aware of his conduct and the legal action I am capable of taking if he does not take responsiblity.

Good call, however I actually called the number and it indeed went to the voicemail of someone at BC Securities Commission. This is turning out to be a very interesting development. The private investigator had this to say "I can tell you that if the person is legit, the BCSC is very aggressive and effective in pursuing and prosecuting violators".

My only concern is that it seems they're mandate is based around fraudulent investments rather than consumer purchases but if it pours more dirt on his coffin then that's fine by me.

The number I was provided matches the first 6 digits of the listed contact number on the BC Securities Commissions website, assuming they use DDI's it looks like this may be a legitimate contact. I'll call them when timezones permit and I'll provide the number as required to anyone who has been scammed by "blacklilac".

I've been contacted by 2 new members over the past week.

The first "curious1" (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=241762) wanted to know how he/she could avoid being ripped off using BTC- they have not logged back in since they read my reply (where I explained I was fortunate that I had been able to collect the personal details of the person who scammed me and was making it a legal matter).

The next message I just received from a "holt007" (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=247771) who had this to say;

Hi,

I am an Investigative Assistant with the BC Securities Commission.  It was brought to my attention that there may have been a breach of the Securities Act involving Black Lilac Financial Corporation and associated individuals.

I would like to talk to you about what happened.

Could you please contact me at xxxxxxxxxxxxx.

Thank you.


Anyone else been messaged by either of these people? I find it highly coincidental that I would be messaged by 2 separate brand new members within a week.

Interestingly "Black Lilac Financial Corporation" was never a registered company as I understand, whereas 2ASIC was, and yet this individual refers to them and not the registered company.

(BC stands for British Columbia as Grant Millar is from Vancouver) I'll call the number provided when time zones permit and update.

Glad to know you're informed about how to pursue this without undermining your case. I just had an image of you posting contact info of this guys associates here and randoms (vigilantes & socks) from the forum spam calling them which wouldn't necessarily further your cause. I was advised to be careful what I disclosed if there will be a potential court case so that's the approach I'm taking, but if you're under counsel then cool.

I hope this guy is reading this forum because it's obvious one way or another he's not getting away with it.

For sure, I'll be in touch shortly.

All good, thanks for getting involved.

?

Actually I'm in a similar situation to you https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=321290.0 and my statement was more toward his neighbours etc you mentioned that aren't in any way responsible for the scam.
"as well as, potentially his neighbors, coworkers, and boss so that I and others here can perhaps make some phone calls to try and get our property back."
Anyway I'd suggest getting legal counsel about the best course of action to take, up to you.

Just make sure you're not crossing any lines legally if you're looking at posting contact information of anyone mentioned. It could create complications if there are claims of harassment due to having their info made public (I don't actually know if this will create problems legally but I'd recommend using some caution with how you proceed).

Hi Phinn- thanks for your input with this.

To give you a summary of where I'm at, I know who he is and where he lives (I also know his gmail address and had his phone number until he changed it. This is another of his profiles https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=109112). He probably has at least 1 other profile too, since his latest scam and being called out I'm sure he's checking activity on the forum wondering how worried he should be getting but he's not doing it on any of the 3 I'm aware of.
At this point it will either go 1 of 2 ways, 1. I'll give him a last opportunity to return the BTC he owes or 2. It becomes a legal matter (I've discussed this with authorities in Vancouver and know the options available to me).

I'd be happy to go into more detail for you by PM and once this moves in the 1. or 2. direction I'll update this thread with more information. I don't want to disclose too much openly at this point however.
