yeah.. it has to be crypto only. and since clain's bank account is freezed, but that does not mean his crypto wallet/account got freezed. if he has any amount higher than $0 left in crypto, he should refund any amount he has back to crypto of GoSSD.
His bank account isn’t freezed
"Know YOUR customer"
YOU should never have told the customer that you were waiving KYC for such a sum. Just because your bank is now forcing you to do so, you cannot shift the responsibility onto them. YOU! accepted the customer and told him you would waive KYC, even though it was actually your duty... and now that the bank is forcing you to do so, you are passing the responsibility on to the customer.
I used to be the last person here to jump on the bandwagon and go on a witchhunt, but what sensible person thinks that you can just withdraw $20K in crypto to your bank in EU without actual evidence? Like I said, either the money is frozen, or it isn't, but the client can't do anything about it.
Whether he faked the evidence on his side or not is irrelevant since it's $20K in crypto, unless it was a document of the actual Client buying $20,000 USD in crypto from an exchange with his bank account, showing the recipient address, and then sending to Reseller A from that address to his crypto address, and Reseller A sending it to Reseller B (Calin) from the same address without any coinjoining, or anything.
In that case, there would be no issues whatsoever. The bank would accept this, it would be clear as day, and the money would not be frozen for more than a day. Perhaps, Calin did in fact explain it away, and took the money, perhaps he didn't, but either way you slice this pie, I'm not buying a word Calin says.
But the crypto probably comes from an anonymous ad network and this is in regards to a piracy platform, or IPTV, or some such. I'm not judging, but Calin needs to refund the money or GTFO in LET's history.
It's very much not. It honestly could even be a separate criminal act of its own, if it's true. Faking evidence for anti money laundering purposes.
He should have just refused.
I firmly believe A LOT of people on this thread have to stop trying to find a good guy in this mess when it's obvious nobody is.

Class 3 and 4 still have some free spots left
Keeping everything aside, can bank release some funds out of $22.5K for this naked guy @emgh ... So we can offer him some clothes... Hope they wont ask for his kyc details for it.
Nah, I agree, they are probably shitheads, what I mean to say is, Calin is the one that HAS to refund the money regardless. No sane person expects you can suddenly convert $20K of random crypto in EU in 2024 without having some type of evidence.
Calin is either naive or a scammer, but it doesn't excuse him from real world consequences: refunding the money which isn't yours.
I think he meant it was irrelevant for a money return.
Calin knows very well that his client can't provide an IBAN because, in this case, what IBAN would he provide, as the transactions were explicitly in crypto? His grandmother's?
There’s no such thing as a real or fake IBAN in this scenario since the transactions weren’t made through EU banks at all.
But I agree that he should just refuse because the transactions were not made through the IBAN system, as he’s not from the EU and doesn’t have an IBAN at all.
Ah, got it. Agreed
I appreciate that but he prefers it that way
Any news since about 10 pages ago?
Yes, Calin is a home owner now. He's getting into real estate in Romania
Calin posted a video with more chat logs. That's it I think.
Holy shit, did anyone actually took a glimpse into calins video?! 0:18 they are talking about scams and @balramm
0:13 - gossd wrote "Refund is not an option bro"
Case is closed. Money sent with intention to not receive refund. Calin is clever boy, he knows the system...
I suggest everyone read throw the entire video. It is insane! Few samples:
0:46 - calin intentionally mislead gossd about KYC by stating that it is already done. What was done is KYC on his BTC account, which is not a problem here;
1:09 - gossd clearly states that he don't want that calins bank do KYC on him and expressing that order will be put on hold. Calin wrote "I never did big payment <...>". But in this forum he wrote that he did 40k+
1:50 - he wrote in the text field about servers and crunchy
Yea, seems gossd is on the run. He had a nice client with big wallet.
To avoid video deletion, here is alt: https://files.catbox.moe/2xqz3f.mp4
@GoSSDHosting are you on the run
I wonder what he meant by that. In crypto there's no KYC. Why wouldn't a refund of crypto be an option?
Imagine this:
Lesson: disrespect may cost you way more than some lil refund.
don't forget new top-notch baryga
Why doesnt GOssd hosting just get refund on their corporate bank account and resell dmca ignored servers from another provider or just go back to calin but this time pay with fiat?
Btw I still dont understand why the bank is ready to refund to any address. It does not make any sense, Wouldnt this just help in tax evasion / money laundering? The client gets fiat and they dont even have to write it as crypto sales for tax (They would have to show source so iam not sure).
Usually banks only refund to the source of the payment, ie, the crypto exchange.
No point in creating drama tho, OP and calin should work towards a fix but i can see
Edit: I missed a lot of the updates and looks like OP won't be getting a refund lmao
Whats a "transaction spam block" never saw that before in fiat or crypto (for 5k transaction atleast)
I was actually wondering if his silence means he’s on a plane to Orastie. If I understand correctly he was refunded 2k from 22k, which might be just enough for him and his buddy to buy plane tickets and visit this beautiful country, Romania.
Losing 20k is not the same as our $7 that we, LET habitants, demand to be refunded immediately when things go wrong.
You're asking dangerous questions..
Also why are people mentioning organized crime, the servers are for dmca ignored hosting lmao, Its most probably just for porn / movies
It is wierd that someone with 22k to spend on servers decided to go with someone like gossdhosting
Plus why does the bank want to know where / how the crypto was procured. It was donated / mined / invested or imagined into reality, Why do they care? I have converted way more crypto to fiat and never had this issue.
They just want there tax on the sale amount.
I am not familiar with Romanian law so maybe someone from there could chip in.
