If it hasn't been resolved by now, it may never be.  And recovery may be impossible unless criminal charges are leveled against him. We had that chance a couple of years ago,  but too few acted to do it. Of course this is what he wanted for it to go away with time. He's sitting on the Bitcoin worth millions now and we've got nothing but shit out of it.  When the case is over he'll no doubt sell the Bitcoin and try to make a comeback. 

His obvious opposition to me during that time and doxxing helped him it seems put fear in others. I'm still here. And he's got 0 grounds for any lawsuit. But at any rate I've got the  FBI report in so if he resurfaces with the money he's done. 

Heh just goggled the fuck. He's still showing as a scammer. Then there's a political rant on facebook for him as well. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://m.facebook.com/thelewisblack/posts/10157488862335223&ved=0ahUKEwjAg6eqwY7SAhVJORQKHR6xC70QFghXMA8&usg=AFQjCNEG4zXXU6Fnu23AlQhPrW5_c2fRCw&sig2=fpbgd1O8Nzr-a_egMXf2Pg

Like any case of this kind, it may be a few years, and doubtful we'll ever get recovery. He's obviously hidden his funds. He's pulled a Donald Trump on us, but worse because he screwed himself in the process.

Damn been a while. Saw the notification come up. His reputation is ruined, but no doubt he's finding ways to scam again. He does alot of SEO shit so no doubt he's using twitter or facebook to improve his rankings so he can get a job. But other things not so easy to hide. And he's got a history there of stiffing landlords. (Sound familiar?). Public records shows he was taken to court, lost and never paid up.

Been away from the forums for a while...but yea this is probably right. There seemed to be some interest in taking him down and pressing charges from other agencies. But don't know where that went. He may still be out of the country. Hopefully he is at the very least miserable in some hole somewhere drinking himself sick (he was doing that even back when all this was going on).

Nope. He is not in the US.

Post the code, prove it! Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

Thought it would be worth noting he went into deep online hiding once this article came out him DDoSing the site. Since the article came out he deleted or otherwise changed his linkedin profile and then altered his twitter profile.

https://twitter.com/joshuazipkin is his latest attempt to lie. This page USED to be his picture. I believe someone else if not I posted the page some months ago. Something to show the judge about the levels he is willing to go to deceive people. I thought it would be worth posting since he is trying to SEO history away. Meanwhile there are ALOT of places his stuff has been saved elsewhere including this site which I suspect he had someone try to take down.



http://www.cloudromance.com/kevin101 is where he likely stole the picture from as that is all that comes up when an image matching search is run. I will let others do the psychoanalysis there to comedic effect. All I know is the face on that twitter profile used to be his. And previous and current background checks show that is indeed his profile. Interesting indeed.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=584891.msg9802545;topicseen#msg9802545 I made mention of the profile which had his picture on it at the time.
http://joshuazipkin.tumblr.com/ I will put this here. Both images are present and accounted for.

Also a search for Joshua Zipkin on startpage.com without the safety filters turns up a crap ton of gay porn so don't search for him at work. In the event he changes the page, I have saved a copy of what I saw at http://web.archive.org/web/20150615025118/http://joshuazipkin.tumblr.com/ if this is being used in a legal capacity, archive.org does provide legal documents certifying legitimacy of the content at time of capture.

Won't go into specifics, but its pretty damn obvious these are both his. In case anyone new does not know what he looks like here is a current picture of what he looks like as of October of 2014.
As you can see the makeover above his highly unlikely unless he is going for that whole James Bond Die Another Day storyline. "Killing" off his virtual self and resurfacing as an apparently vain Kenyan looking for love online. Women are gonna be disappointed when they see what he really looks like.

Something to consider.

EDIT here is a little more evidence of who he used to be. The dumbass cant even cover his tracks right.

Below are screens of the social sites he is set up on as they appeared when I went to them.

I already instructed him to get that info to the FBI. They will handily deal with that. Gave him my contact at the FBI to reach out to. They already have the info on him so easy enough to get all that linked up. Hopefully something pops with this idiot. He needs to go to jail.

Safe bet he didnt show. Safe bet he stalled or pulled some shit. I figure the judge will give him enough chances before he says to hell with this.

Thanks keep us posted. If anything post up all the links you have posted in this thread so we have one place to view it all? I will repost my blockchain analysis so its all here as well.

Well he has an updated facebook profile that puts him working at Microsoft. He had a linkedin one but looks like he took it down.  
https://www.facebook.com/Zpkin.Joshua?ref=br_rs&fref=browse_search

Interesting how he is rewriting his professional experience as working from Microsoft.

Looks like Microsoft is hiring scammers now.

Its why I typically use Joshua Zipkin's full name at least once when posting about him.

And SSNs can be verified. Its actually an incredibly insecure system. Lotta ID theft happens via illegal immigration cases due to that. And verified. Its not an SSN but an EIN. Similar but different as EIN is for corporations but still a type of social security number (that does not get social security benefits as its for a non-entity corporation). But to dogies point....it can be verified. So no personal information was doxxed, ergo no rules were broken.

FYI, the SSN posted for Joshua Zipkin is not his personal SSN. Its the business EIN. A corporate SSN if you will. Its for AMT. Considering it was tied to the bank account it makes sense in this case. I checked it out. Its invalid now as he has folded the business up. But still shows in my sources record.

So yea this was valid information. Having it did not compromise his personal info whatsoever as this was the corporations "SSN".

The problem here is if people are going to ask about theymos identity, then it also stands to reason that one must also ask why satoshi must also hide his identity. We have seen time and time again those hiding their identity ultimately are hiding something. If the overarching question is transparency here, then the forum mods would need to show some even if they choose not to reveal their identities.

Guys like Joshua Zipkin who kept their identities hidden and try to suppress information, are people who need to be taken down. Right now the topic has veered toward discussing theymos, when the issue is really about Joshua Zipkin's possible role in this hack. He had a major seething hatred for this forum (presumably still does) and various people here (I am on that list as well as is evidenced by his irrational posts at me).

His social security number being posted was mainly just a way to prove the person had private information noone else did. My guess based on her name that it was his exwife or someone else close to him that he screwed over. But considering his actions against us could not happen to a nicer guy. Law enforcements lack of action despite the numerous reports to them has forced us to get the press involved and use social justice to put these guys in their place. Least if they won't get prosecuted, then their reputations are so smeared from their frauds and scams, that they can never pull that shit again easily. Shaming law enforcement seeing as we are basically doing their job for them is another avenue as well.

The forum serves that purpose at least. As much as we want to do more, its best to just expose the information that is legally obtainable and accessible. Chat logs and other freely shared personal details are fair game. I personally am not ok with sharing things like SSNs and bank accounts. But honestly if someone wants to put themselves out there for that thats on them.

At any rate there is a shitton of evidence to nail Joshua Zipkin to the wall for other things besides the hacking. He likley did pay someone for this. Another blockchain analysis might need to be checked to see where the money went based on Joshua Zipkin's current known wallets.

Yea didnt seem to be a problem when Joshua ZIpkin Doxxed me and the mods left my real name up. Was not until Josh removed it under threat of legal action that he removed it. Mods were nowhere to be found considering that the removal post was there. Either way tho, his SSN doesnt really matter.

 The only thing that matters is the money he stole from all of his clients and blatant fraud. Not to mention answering getting investigated for the hack. It is my opinion that he is the one who financed this. He certainly was involved in my opinion based on all his various statements. He has the means and most of all motive. Not to mention he has made death threats on people on here before, so why would a hacking attempt be any less of an issue for him?

The title is misleading. But the actual evidence (skype chats among other things) points to him likley being him. He certainly has the money to hire someone. He had been looking for someone for a long time. He attempted to hire me twice, I declined. I get there is alot of doubt here. But honestly he has the most motive. With him and his friends in KNC and bitmine running a petahash operation (this is known), and all of them with pending lawsuits where much of the evidence used against them is in this forum from their words....yea they are in a mess and have a strong financial motive to bring this forum down.

With a hack that compromises passwords, they COULD state the forum was compromised and the legal footing and data integrity in a case would be at risk.

As there is no other known lead to this besides the IP and email Theymos posted, this is as good as anything to investigate first. Josh has proven to be good at opening the right doors for himself. Its known he has the money for this ergo the means. He has a court case that would fall apart as much as the evidence used against him (his own words) are from this very site. If he loses the case its millions he is on the hook for, and if for some reason he cant pay it, he is on the hook for millions. Which will lead to a federal investigation. All these things are known to him. So yes if anyone has a strong motivation to bring this site down its him. CCN did not appear to present this as he did it. Maybe with the catchy title, but thats typical of any news organization these days. Sensationalism sells. either way the word is out there and the facts are available for those who want to dig deeper.
