    Sorry, hired "expert veteran", next to gossd you only get the second prize (have you at least been well paid?).

    I don't have any horses in this race. I came here because you literally said "crypto-money" is the issue here, which I vehemently disagree with.

    Disagree all you want, but if normal bank transfers had been used, the situation would be quite different - but then scammers and cheaters prefer crypto-"currency" ...

    You are also well known around here for defending scammers with your mental gymnastics so I won't even engage you :-)

    BS. If any than I'm well known for not quickly judging and sentencing or, different way of saying it, for thinking myself instead of blindly following the "we love drama" crowd.

    You see, unlike many here I do have a VPS from @Calin. Its not the best, let alone the most reliable I ever had, but I got and get quite some value for a low price. And that's what I'm interested in and what LET is about (well, at least in my mind).

    Generally with the romanian providers I only experienced 1 thug (gladly he's banned), all the others had/have, from what I could/can see, no criminal intentions but harsh starting conditions and or greed (which, given the situation of many there, I can understand, but still, understanding or not, one should not try to bite off more and faster than one can chew).

    That said I've also had and/or still have servers from a few romanian providers who are honest and do business reasonably (Virtono is an example) ... but oy vey, when I oppose statements like "do not trust a romanian provider!!!" I'm seen or painted as a friend and defendant of thugs by some. Oh well ...

    There are honest and good providers as well as bad and dishonest ones in every country. Simple as that.

    So clearly the only wrong thing the OP did, was trusting @Calin with a dime.

    That is wrong. Everything would have been fine if he paid with all dimes. :p

    Therefore, it has to be assumed the funds already were sent back to Coinbase or will be, if there was any complications with a bank.

    Wouldn't you have seen that transaction against that wallet during your search and if not means bank has not returned the money?

    @rafaelscs said: the way that you talk with the customer it's extremely horrible

    I talk to everyone nicely, and I have respect for everyone, but there is a limit , I was not in this situation, here, if the client was much more clary with me!This led to several discussions with some of my clients, how would you like me to feel?

    Can you explain why you never take responsibility for your actions? Your other clients have valid concerns, and it's your fault. Being young isn't an excuse. Please be responsible and professional.

    After reading over 30 pages, it's clear you're handling this terribly. You should focus on finding a solution instead of blaming others for your own problems. As many people have pointed out, either you're not smart enough to deal with this, or you're trying to trick us into thinking you're a victim. Either way, I wouldn't recommend doing business with you, big or small.

    The cheap VPSs you offer are terrible. They're slow, always going down, and constantly under attack. Your expensive VDS are a SCAM, as seen with this case and the one before.

    Finally, you treat all your clients poorly, including me. I believed in your project at first. You should consider taking some English lessons. I hope you're not as harsh in real life.

    Hello , possible leave me more feedback?About what more exactly?I'm speak very professional with all my customers and i'm improvment a lot services , last year vs this year it's a huge improvment , 4 years ago vs now it's again , amaizing thing

  • @GoSSDHosting said: After much consideration, we have decided to treat the $20K as a business loss.
    ...
    .....
    . and we’re choosing to move forward and absorb the loss.

    Ha my theory is sounding more and more right, now.. :grin:

    @keon said: 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.

    Unfortunately it's not that easy. As far as the on-chain evidence goes, all we can see is that Calin indeed received payment to his (probably personal) Coinbase account, whether the funds ever left Coinbase or whether the bank returned anything would not be reflected in that wallet address. That would be something only Coinbase knows at it is part of their internal book keeping.

    If Calin had any interest in improving his horrible image, he would publicly share screenshots of Coinbase where he withdrew, then screenshots where the money arrived in his bank account and obviously screenshots proving that he's unable to move the funds. Considering he didn't and instead pretends the customer is at fault, he probably can't.

  • I just googled the quote in his signature and ended up finding out that it came from a convicted criminal. Is this some kind of sick joke?

    It's pretty clear already you're out here to end his career and you seemed to have just signed up for that sole reason(?)

    If he did it to take the money (on purpose) I can't imagine he'd even have communicated with the other party at all, let alone go through the effort to create videos and documents to try and backup his statements.

    Seems like a pretty big oversight on Calins part, but I don't see it as planned at all, and I hope that the money can be released and returned, but clearly this can take time.

  • Not trying to end anyone's career... I merely feel like Calin's credibility is zero. So if someone could point me to a single piece of evidence in his favor, happy to change tune, I just don't see it.

  • @iKeyZ said: It's pretty clear already you're out here to end his career

    Ahh sure... It was @Calin who messed up, there's is enough evidence that it is his fault.. But no, that not enough, its not even true, its just fake news.

    Its obviously @EndlessGravity that's responsible for ending Calin's career..

    I'm not anyone's alter ego, just reading this forum regularly since the pandemic in 2020.
    Not to offend anyone, but I don't think @FlorinMarian would even grasp the intricacies of this situation.

  • 680 new posts, what major updates did I miss? Was Calin able to sort out the bank issues?

    nope, and its looking more and more like he has no intention of doing so.

    I'm unsure if you read my post - I basically said that it was Calins fault, but at least he's stuck around and discussing it, while posting evidence of things happening - doesn't really make out to be someone that's done it on purpose to steal $22k does it?

    I was pointing out @EndlessGravity as ever since he's joined (two days ago), his posts are solely on slating his company, him personally and even his signature(?)
