Master-P SCAMMER. I lost complete faith in this forum now.

[GSpgh]

I must apologize to tecshare

this hacker is truly the most determined hacker ever

not only did the hacker pay sig campaigns, and left the coins in the wallet to frame master-P but also played csgo WITH THE EXACT SAME PATTERN FOR TWO WEEKS

bulletproof framing this is

Yes I can liquidate my steam inventories but that would take around a month before those funds are converted to BTC. Reason being my Steam accounts were "hacked" but luckily assets were not compromised thanks to SteamGuard. But unfortunately Steam locks my account from trading for 2 weeks after I changed the e-mail, password, and everything after I re-secured my Steam accounts. Once I am able to trade/sell I will be able to start liquidating. Then after that it will probably take another week or two before I can start converting the funds from steam wallet into BTC.

of course the nasty trolls would accuse master-P of stalling what with refusing to take the loan or to sell Steam inventory

[SebastianJu]

tecshare, you're the one now creating drama for no reason

the hack story had been debunked already in two different ways - hacker not moving the coins, and hacker paying out sig campains - so your rant is off base

good luck trying to stop people from browsing Master-P's OWN POSTS which is where gleb's info is coming from

Ok smart guy. Then explain to me in detail how it is impossible for a hacker to fake this... I will wait. BTW, did you ever consider that Master-P was posting info he already anonymized? And who said I was trying to stop it? BTW way to skip over everything else and go for the one thing no one really knows for sure to argue with me about. A+. But I am the one starting drama right?

While it's always advantageous having something in the hand to push a probable scammer (doxx) i think a possible hacker would have no incentive to fake this. Why risk 12k USD only to frame master-P? You need a lot of hate or much money to do so when you want to take the coins anyway. On top, why lowering the amount of stolen bitcoins by paying out? Then if a hack happened, why wait 2 weeks.

I'm not sure yet if master-P finally dropped all connections now, i think you will release the doxx sooner or later anyway since this story is not the best.

I would think you would be very concerned about how this story plays out since you offer escrow services and the outcome of this could affect your business and how your clientele will view you in the future.

Yes, that's why i i'm here. At this point i really believe there is no other explaination anymore than master-P scamming. It's unfortunate since i trusted him too. It's really hard to see on what things someone should or can base the trust one he gives another forum member. Scammers seem to be big actors. :/

[Gleb Gamow]

i was the one who originally messaged him about the issue, and he has removed me since this blew up. i also recall EAL (the mod) was on his friends list too under the steam ign EAL F. Skillz (profile home page, saw it by chance), but i dont see him on there anymore either. pretty likely he (master-p) has already purged his steam to completely cut off ties from the forum.

I was also on his steam friends list. He also removed me. Clearly he is trying to cut off ties from the forum.

Please, give MP a chance! Honestly, I believe the hacker removed you from MP's friend list, and P's in the process of reinstating you. That's what I believe.

[Gleb Gamow]

What can Gleb do?? Is he a hacker or something?

he's an NSFW googler

he can find all kinds of dirt and/or annoy someone pwns lying n00bz daily to the point of a public meltdown...

ftfy

Along with causing collateral damage to those not directly affiliated with scammers, e.g., TECSHARE's meltdown, the meltdown of cabinetmaker in Texas, and Curtis Green's meltdown, he being a mod for Silk Road about to get a TV movie contract till I exposed his ass. That's over and beyond Leroy Fodor and Marshall Long's meltdown. HAHAHA

[TECSHARE]

What? What logic is there in that statement? Because the real Master-P guessed that the hacker didn't move the coins because he can't access them any longer, this some how proves he did it? Grow a brain first, then speculate. I am not taking him at his word, I am taking the most likely avenue for resolution for the victims.

feisty, aren't we today

the supposed hacker could not POSSIBLY know that Master-P doesn't have access to the wallet

it doesn't make any sense and has been pointed out by multiple posters already

also Master-P conveniently deleting all backups prior to the hack is also not something the supposed hacker could have planned for framing Master-P

there are a couple of other holes like not reporting the hack for two weeks while playing csgo for many hours

clearly your the one speculating here that someone framed Master-P when all facts point in the other direction

Your right, how could a hacker know he already changed the wallet password? There is a difference between circumstantial evidence and direct evidence. Circumstantial evidence is not always reliable, but can be a good indicator. The problem is you are treating it like it is solid proof of something. It's not. BTW, this easily could just be about the perp covering his ass by making you all think you have the real perpetrator he set up as a patsy, allowing him to walk with no one even looking for him. Once again I will repeat myself. I don't believe Master-P, and IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW FULL OF SHIT HE IS. He has been positively identified and he will be held liable for the lost funds no matter what. If the funds are actually returned is another matter. If he is harassed and prosecuted the chances of that happening go way down. So put your drama boner away for a few days and see what he does ok sherlock?  You will all get your pound of flesh. Let the actual victims try to recover some of their funds first before you bust your drama load all over the forum k?

P.S. Meltdown? Please. You give yourself too much credit.

[bitspill]

I'd like to clarify that liquidating a steam inventory is not easy.

In order to hinder scams and fraud Steam imposes several limits on accounts including daily/weekly/monthly/yearly trade l limits, holding trades in a pending state for days depending on value and if both parties have 2fa, locking all trades for weeks after a password change, etc. Any items sold in the Steam market which would be the easiest is then stuck in the form of Steam Wallet funds so he'd have to sell outside the market which would be difficult as who's likely to trade with him in this situation here?

Again, please enlighten us as to who master-P is, for I, among others, have yet to see the proof.

are you really that dense? how could a hacker know that master-P doesn't have a backup? how could a hacker know that master-P won't report the hack for two weeks? which part of this can possibly be "the perp covering his ass".

0.4 BTC per week

that's the whole drama for you, enjoy it for the next 50+ weeks

nice try making it sound that calling master-P out on his lies is somehow hindering victims chances when the scammer is laughing in your face

Yeah, that was my whole argument.  I don't see how calling BS is going to do anything to a scammer.  He's been here long enough to know this is a rough community and that he's going to be lambasted.  You need a thick skin up in here.

he said "fuck this community" a few times in this thread so to reciprocate is only fair

Fuck this community.

Well there you go. if that was the real one, I doubt it was, you have your answer on how this WHOLE situation is going to pan out.
Nothing is going to get settled dealing with this delinquent.

What makes you think the money was the target? Maybe the actual target was Master-P or the forum. Maybe they were willing to risk it for the entertainment value of making you all cannibalize one of your most trusted members while they get away unnoticed. That sure sounds like hacker humor to me, but it doesn't matter. None of the crap you are spouting is of consequence to this situation.

I am not stopping anyone from "calling master-P out on his lies", I am asking uninvolved parties such as yourself to calm the fuck down and let the people actually involved try to work this out before you shit all over everything to get your compulsive fix. BTW watching some one make payments for 40 weeks sounds pretty boring, I don't how how much drama that counts for. Also the thief didn't take anything from me, I am freely volunteering my time to help the victims here, so what exactly does he have to laugh in my face about, and why should I give a fuck? I am trying to help the victims here get back what they can, and they can't do that if you jackals string him up first regardless of the validity of his claims.

P.S. I am not going to bother replying to you any more.

Lol I am in this for a very small amount, and it was collateral damage so to speak.  I donated 0.01 btc to Yahoo when he was soliciting funds, so I do have an interest in this.  I'm done raging against Master-P and I'm not expecting to get reimbursed for a few dollars.  As I said, I'm skeptical of his story and I think peon showed pretty good evidence for an intent to scam.

It doesn't change anything. Even if you had video proof of him doing it with a signed confession statement I still wouldn't change my course of action because I believe it is the best avenue at this time for possible compensation of the victims. Lets for the sake of argument assume he did it all on purpose. If that is the case he fucked up, and fucked up BAD. He is going to need some time for it to sink in how royally fucked he is before he takes reasonable actions to resolve this, not to mention actually set it up logistically. If he doesn't the results will still be the same. I am hoping some one here with two brain cells to rub together can point this out because I am done explaining.

If that's the case, then why have I spent the past 24 hours virtually dedicated to this thread? That includes reading MP's earlier posts prior to being told that wasn't him, so I started on mid-September 2014, forward. Then, showing my ass to the dude who supposedly has the vitals. This is fuckin' sick on so many levels.

by the same token I'm not stopping you from doing whatever you think you're doing.

in fact I'm not telling you to do or not do anything while you feel you have some authority to boss everyone around so if anyone needs to chill it's you bro

LOL at the grand conspiracy of framing Master-P... unless it's not a joke

Hey bitcointalk, this is the "original" or previous owner of master-P account on these forums.

I had sold the account to an anonymous offer in August 2015. Along with my forum account, the keybase account "masterp" was also sold as the buyer wanted to continue to assume my identity and provide escrow.

The private keys to the wallets I used for escrow were also included in the sale so the new owner could continue providing escrow as I already had some transactions/campaigns taking place.

I am signing this message from an address I used to stake back in March, before I sold the account and was not included in the sale since the buyer would have no real use for it.

The address is 16Ag7a28TfKwUQiUKcQuvTxATJM5khmX5p

Posted here: https://asktom.cf/index.php?topic=996318.msg10821951#msg10821951

I don't think I can really do much to help, but just wanted to post this here since someone on my steam friend list informed me of this situation. I don't necessarily partake on these forums anymore, and don't intend to continue.

I apologize for selling my account, in hindsight I see how selfish of an act it was. But I was at an all time low and I didn't exactly have much time to keep participating and help escrow for these forums anymore. The amount of money I was offered for my "bitcointalk identity" was enough to help get me through a couple of really rough months.

Here's my fuckin' theory: TECSHARE is in on the scam.

[subSTRATA]

Here's my fuckin' theory: TECSHARE is in on the scam.

actually, i was the one that messaged him when i saw this thread. thats when he told me the fabrication of his account having been sold. as for now, im leaning towards thinking it was an exit scam.
