Maybe the thread deserves to be closed. By keeping this thread open you are just delaying the inevitable as you don't allow for drama to settle and be forsaken (as it did in the past). iHostArt will get their provider-tag back, whether we like it or not.
This forum is kept alive with bilohbucks; bilohbucks is important; bilohbucks is all that matters over time.
Unfortunately, that's not how it works. The Coinbase deposit address sends the deposit to a Coinbase hot/cold wallet automatically. So after Calin withdrew to bank, the USDT only really moved within Coinbase, off-chain. The same applies if the bank refunds the withdraw, it would be within Coinbase only, off-chain. You could only observe this, if Calin withdrew the USDT back to the same wallet where it came from.
Calin could have received a refund from his bank (or never even sent anything to a bank!) and then withdrawn the funds to a new wallet, unbeknown to all of us. There wouldn't be any paper trail on-chain for any of this.
WHMCS are still a thing in 2024 - any decrease in market ?
Totally makes sense, but Calin kept saying that the bank wants to refund the crypto directly, so I thought they would send it to one of the addresses involved like that of Client or GoSSD (based on KYC or whatever).
That would be doxing. Calin lies or not bank wants direct knowledge of first transaction, but europol.
Too much drama, nobody cares. That income is gone for good. If that income was seized by authorities basically he can break any terms (eg refunding or providing the service) - by kept that income for his self.
Bank is not authority ;-)
Bank is authority when it holds your money.

Calin should just be banned end of story. He has this money and its all just bullshit.
If a bank rejects a transaction it simply sends it back to where it came from. Its complete bullshit that they would want to refund the client directly and even more hilarious send them crypto LOL.
Noooo, please leave this open, I'm a newcomer and this got me glued to the website now I have 6 vps (ready to idle) and I had 0 last week
This is my view of this situation:

GoSSD has had its say by showing its evidence.
Calin responded with his counter evidence.
Users make their own deductions, I think at this point GoSSD should move legally against Calin and then establish a lawsuit outside of any platform other than a court, we are still talking about a relatively large amount of money.
I think at the end of the discussion everyone has learned and learned something new from this situation, continuing to keep this thread active I find it just a waste of time, then do as you wish
Peace & Love
Sorry bro, no one learns anything from this topic, we want drama + cheap popcorn and beer!
Btw, welcome to LET!
OMG! Your point is correct. We never thought this could be done!
this is a big scam then.
indeed that's correct.
@Calin incompetence. Made him assume that he needed those things. While all the bank probably needed was an invoice from his company. By sending all those other weird shit. He made his bank even more suspicious of the transaction.
People are aware of this from the start, which is why calling Calin’s story BS (KYC of client, refund to the original source, etc.) looks like we’re back to square one, lol.
Let's regurgitate the drama once more.
it is a lie. Bank can ONLY refund to IBAN where they received it from(Coinbase). They NEVER refund to any other IBAN, that is why is is called REFUND.
Plain scam, and not his first time.
20k is something he cant earn in 3 years with his poor business, I see and understand the temptation. It is the biggest amount he ever saw in his hands.
Are easier to be evil than being good.

Under anti money laundering, banks doesn't refund back to the source if no documents were provided.
I am surprised people missing this simple criteria about AML.
You lost https://legalfirme.ro/maniu-calin-robert-intreprindere-individuala-49689855/
You're stupid.

This sounds like money loundering. You stopped using your dads transport company and now you are using this II shit.
Are this 20K declared on your II?
Simply not true. I have experienced this exact same situation countless times. Banks will return funds to the source because they do not want to be part of any money laundering scheme, that's the whole point. If they locked the funds, it means they accepted the incoming transfer(s). In that case, the bank can't hold onto the money for two months unless they were ordered to do so by a lawful authority, and in that case there would be proof and documentation of their interference. If there was silent lawful intervention (i.e. terrorism financing is suspected), the whole account would be frozen and Calin would have been visited by police.
There is no need to blow the AML part of this story out of proportion.
@Calin when will you start refunding the customer? Or are you going to play stupid until everyone here forgot and you made off with $20,000.00?
Where?
I see your name, and I notice that you are from Romania, you are talking without knowing, if you were smart enough you could create an account on listafirme.ro and check who is the administrator of the companies, both companies are on my name
You had at least one company registered in Romania, before you accused me of this
,most of the people on this thread don't know the real problems of this transaction and the minimum knowledge of accounting in Romania from what I can see, and only comment, that's why I stopped writing anything related to this

If you do this, you will be the lucky person with the number 3 who did this in the last 9 months, every time they investigated me, they found nothing, all taxes up to date, all invoices loaded in e-invoicing, the company is profitable etc...
I'm love haters what make complainant at ANAF , my ISP etc... every time when they investigate me , never found bad things
Thanks!
Glad to know you're not repeating Al Capone's mistake!
What transaction? A transaction in crypto from the client to you?
Or your own transaction from crypto to the bank?
@Calin, dude, you are a scammer and a stupid young idiot. This is my view. Full stop.
I don't know why you are still on here and not banned. When is clear, with profs that you were using nulled WHMCS, you sold RAM from SWAP, you tried to buy another hoster leaked client database, you messed up clients money and more....
But, we all know that LET is not what it was 4...5 years ago. LET is now accepting this kind of kids with 0 knowledge about networking and virtualisation, handling a business, but they are hosters...
Well .... would be more to say.
@jbiloh maybe you will take a look again to this scammer and free LET from this kid. Thanks.
you are envious , because i'm have this amount of turnover , I always say the exact same thing to people like you, if you think I'm doing something wrong, I invite you to do something better and with more experience
