We. Because drama.
Seems like Calin.
After the video he posted, even if GoSSD goes for legal route, he will probably be answering way more questions to Indian legal authority than Calin answering to Romanian counterpart.
Hi mom!
As long as @Calin does some insane sale, im sure everyone will forgive and forget this.
To be fair, sounds no different than Racknerd
IV been reading this thread and I want to leave. I don't even know why I'm here. I always see hands being thrown between Gossd and calin but I am going to leave.
I hope GoSSD will not send any muscles to recuperate the money from Calin. I do not agree with what Calin did, but I also believe in peaceful ways of handling this.
To clients of iHostArt: don't forget to make backups as soon as possible.
You know, depending on what illegal services they were planning on running, this may all be for the best.
Can you think of how much cleaner the internet would be if all hosters in the world just ripped off all their scummy customers running malware and ransomware services?
After reading everything I just can't figure out why @Calin needs to convert crypto -> fiat to buy the servers. Just buy the servers directly with crypto.
It seems like @Calin is an idiot who does not know how crypto works and has no idea what he is doing,
OR
He knew exactly what he was doing. He KNEW that converting crypto -> fiat will trigger extra scrutiny from bank.
He knows that banks are slow AF in performing any kinds of investigation, usually taking months. And this is just what he wants, so that people can just forget about this, and he can get away with it
Also, if bank is just suspicious of funds, they would always return the money to where it came from (in this case @Calin's own Coinbase account).
What kind of bank would return the funds to some random 3rd party (or 4th party in this case) bank account somewhere in the would ? Nope, if returning, a bank would always return the money to where it came from (in this case @Calin's own Coinbase account)
And I believe that's exactly what he wants. It would take months, but the bank will eventually just return money to his Coinbase account (or deposit to his account in bank), but by that time everyone would have forgotten about this and he would have 22k USD in his bank.
He knows that @GoSSDHosting is from a 3rd world country with no legal recourse, so he would just wait till everyone forgets, and get away with the money.
He also tried to pull the same shit with another person (@balramm) from the same country, but to his misfortune Crunchy Daddy @crunchbits stepped in, thinking that @Calin is a naive idiot little boy, and now @Calin had less chance of getting away, as someone from United States is much more likely to take a legal action and succeed than someone from India.
No wonder he is repeatedly asking Mods to close the thread.
TL;DR: @Calin is a young naive idiot who does not know what he is doing OR he is a smart con man in making, pretending to be a young naive idiot, so he can get away with the scam.
Temptation Island.
tl'dr pls, this thread full of AI summaries lol
Honestly, it seems like legal action is their only real option here. We'll just have to wait and see how it unfolds
This isn't aimed at you. But I keep seeing people say this or similar and it's just not true.
If a bank thinks the money is suspicious they will not just return it back. They will have AML they have to follow and legally once thye flag the money they wont release it until the proof/investigation is complete.
Just returning the Money once it gets to the stage it's reported to be at is just not an option, especially with the added mess of the wrong details being provided at th initial stage of the refund.
Or at least that's how it works in UK, Romania could be completely different so I could be talking absolute rubbish
From my understanding.
What doesn't make sense or is unclear:
I think that's the gist of it.
There is also some super long video released by Calin I haven't watched because I don't believe it'll provide any context or explanations that wasn't already shared in the chatlog screenshots and his own words within this thread earlier.
I just want to know what kind of servers were they ? Calin's servers dont really have a very good n/w with Asia
ladies and gentlemen
monero
@MannDude you perfectly sumarize!
Thats why my oppinion is that @Calin is a scammer, full stop.
@MannDude wasn’t like 1 minute? Super long
Any deals or offers here ? This thread is great for marketing
No, gold bars via DPD/Fedex.
no, snow from colombia
Calin shoud start new with a new brand name
ihostDMCA.ro
I never clicked it. Thought he said it was 40 minutes or something, ha. My bad.
Ah, I was worried about your attention span there for a second
In Romania if you receive more than 2.5-3K into account - you have to make a proof of your income. Almost all banks I worked with will asks you from where that money comes in. But since this goes insane I might think he used a personal banking account. If it was a business's in a couple of days the fund was automatically refunded. I hope you don’t get it wrong but you should get a lawyer from the beginning, a 300-500 Lei it wasnt a such big deal. Good luck pal!
Shouldn't he have proof in that it came from coinbase as income from his business?
indeed there is something fishy.
If you run a Business or a Big tech company you still have to comply with Romanian Law aswell if you have a personal account.
The alarm are triggered by authorities (eg ANAF) when you reach out in one day or in a single transaction the cap limit of $2.5-3K. Now having a business account you have the option to not comply with them (if they find this trans. suspicious - in most cases they don't but this was an Bitcoin income) and the money are automatically returned in less than 20 working days from where they come from OR the customer it have to comply with our Romanian Law and provide a proof - in this case 'him' itself not a 3rd party person.
Anyway, is just my opinion but if he had a Coinbase Business Account with an personal banking account then he can face Govt. penalty fee and even worse - jail time for frauds.
You need a Lawyer, don't (ever) go solo on the bank and finding excuses or lying to them. An hour with a Lawyer it was around 300-500 Lei and it was enough to make this wheel to spin. If you don't signed anything you still have a chance to wash your hands in a matter of time.
so, did @Calin already bought a new car ?or you guys still fighting?
