Board Scam Accusations
Re: DeOS (by Razormind) is most likely a scam!

So, the scammer may split collected BTC to two streams that 1) routed to Antshares ICO 2) routed to Jawad wallet.

is this the case?

No, it is more likely that the address posted by 'Rippleme' was incorrectly identified as Razormind's when it was actually the Antshares escrow.

'rippleme' said he had traced the payments made by his friends, but he also didn't know that a bitcoin address beginning with 3 denotes a multisig address, so it suggests he is not overly familiar with the blockchain.

Either that or his post was an intentional 'red herring' to mislead us.

Given some of the evidence coming to light back here it would not surprise me.



Totally screwed up on that. I was given that info, searched on here and found this thread and thought I'd share the info.
I HATE SCAMMERS and in this space there are plenty. When one or more are found they need to be exposed!
I had confidence one of you guys could do more research than me, as cryptodevil says I'm not technical nor an expert.

So I checked in with my friends (2 cousins and not so sharp) after seeing the few pages of comments since last time I posted, and literally told them WTF have you given me?
One of them said they got confused as they did participate in the Antshares sale, but mentioned something went wrong there too but it was their fault... Didn't quite get it...
Long story short I asked for the DEOS TX Ids, but they are away right now on holiday... It wasn't much money they can't be bothered.

If I manage to get hold of the TX Ids I'd definitely come back to post them.
Apologies if I have wasted your time. As a community member I appreciate the time you guys spend looking into and exposing scammers!

Hey guys, good to see this thread.

I have a couple of friends who have been burned by the DEOS SCAM, they sent small transactions and the team answered they are not going to give them tokens because they are dust... They also stopped writing back. How odd. There was no mention of that at the beginning of the crowdfund but the page kept on changing over time where new rules applied. I hope someone here has kept copies and screenshots of the pages.

TX 1: https://blockchain.info/address/1GGRoVoQpztuEGS5pHvJiaELsr7VZfVFoL for 0.1 BTC

Tx 2: https://blockchain.info/address/12vZ6B4o5R3D5arUJUCk15ZPuxEAW8Gq8j for 0.15 BTC

So I went and traced their transactions on the blockchain and found the crowdsale money has now been moved to one address:

https://blockchain.info/address/3Q8pgRFtxbUp8wtGbtQqRNXPs1B4i6enu1

A whole 6,119.319402 BTC!!! That's crazy!

The weird thing is the address starts with 3Q and if it was a bitcoin address shouldn't it start with 1?

I run it through coinfirm.io which does taint analysis and it comes up with:

Unused Address - No History
This Bitcoin Address has no recorded Transactions


https://www.coinfirm.io/bitcoin/aml/3Q8pgRFtxbUp8wtGbtQqRNXPs1B4i6enu1

Maybe it's an address created offline? Any one with some tech knowledge that could explain this?

I think Jawad Yaqub, Ismail Malik, and Phil Sturgeon who seem to be the highest ranked people on the team will have a lot to answer.
Also I wonder if they should be declaring the funds they raised with the Inland Revenue in the UK seen that's where they are based.

The crowdsale page claims they have sold 9.2 million tokens, so I think the 6000 BTC above are not all the funds raised but a big portion of it.
If anyone with knowledge could trace even more would be awesome, merely to see where the funds end up and how they are spent or used.
I only have the 2 transactions above but there are loads more if you follow back from the final address.

http://www.razormind.co.uk/crowdsale/

I didn't lose anything because I didn't contribute so I'm not going to get involved more than I did.
However if anyone would like to take this further it will benefit the community greatly, these scammers names need to be public so that if they do anything else in the future people are aware.

Also the team page seems to have lost the rest of the team, only the executives are left... Again very odd.

http://www.razormind.co.uk/experts/

Last but not least, looks like they are reading another crowdfund called DAO.

http://www.razormind.co.uk/dao/

I mean, WTF!

I saw on the Omni Skype chat time ago that Patrick Dugan (of Omni) is holding one of the multisig signatures.

Here is a screenshot: http://i64.tinypic.com/34tblvq.png

Maybe Omni knows more about what's going on?

Please share this anywhere, Telegram, Reddit, BitcoinTalk, Twitter, Facebook, etc...
6000 BTC is a lot of money and I believe many people lost their own BTC with this.

Hope justice is made. These people need to be behind bars.

Re: Dogecoin halving next week. Inflation cut by 50%.

I think what Dogecoin needs is more adoption to actually buy things with it. Devs should also think about getting the coin accepted by more retailers together with adding new features. 
I think that the biggest problem of Dogecoin is a supply . Which is definitely too big.
If there would be 60M things with the value would be different.

But ... at least now have a lot of Dogecoin millionaires Wink

True, so many coins will bring the value down. But at least if they could be spent to buy something, wouldn't that be better?

With all the money they have collected they still have to release any actual working software. Bishares X? Keyhotee? Bitshares DNS?

I only use exchanges to buy or sell coins the withdraw immediately. As someone mentioned above keep your coins in your wallet, there have been far so many cases of exchange hacking and they won't stop anytime soon.

If AltCoins are dying, even though I think some are still doing pretty well, it's because there are so many new coins that it's becoming a joke!
