This scam demands that self-moderated threads be reported for moderation. CryptoVigilanteGroup has launched a locked/self-moderated thread in order to give no recourse for those accused of scams. I was able to get one post in before he locked it. As such this thread could be considered libelous.



Bitcointalk clearly states this at the top of all self-moderated threads: This is a self-moderated topic. If you do not want to be moderated by the person who started this topic, create a new topic..



Anyone that moderates their own self-moderated thread is free to do so and this scam artist is a moron who can't read and is attempting to defame victims without any recourse:



https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=768815.0



Quote

With the proliferation of scam coins & shady devs it's time to take a stand.



We have now added FUD campaign organizers to our target lists. Devs who launch FUD campaigns against other coins will be exposed as well.



I have started this thread with the sole intention of exposing shady practices within crypto and putting the spotlight on those whose intent is less that honorable. I should add we are only interested in alts.

I'm using a new account to avoid the obvious backlash from affecting my regular account.



I commend CryptoAsian and others like him that reward forthcoming devs teams with a trust level based upon the amount of transparency and cooperation displayed.

Think of CVG's as similar except they reward victims of shady devs with a profile of said shady dev containing as much personal information as possible.



Until there are laws in place to prevent/punish criminal activity then public exposure/shaming will have to do. Join me in saying enough!



The strategy being to create a database linking all known accounts and personal data available on shady devs to eventually be able to positively identify and release all personal data into the crypto world. Hopefully a few personal visits from those who have lost btc will deter these bums from trying the scam again and act as a warning to those hoping to scam in the future.



The results of this thread should equal a good dose of DOXing.

Personal dev team information should be pm'd to me for verification.

After verification, details will be posted in the OP in the following format.



Coin Name: ScammyCoin

Ann Thread: https://bitcointalk.org/correspondingthread

Devs BTCtalk name: ScammyDev

Other Coins Dev Associated With: TheifCoin, DupeCoin

Social Media Info: FB, TW, Reddit, ect

Additional Identity Info: employer, home address, ect

Scam details Scammydev was original dev for dupecoin & ran off with BTC set aside for further development. Scammydev then launched ScammyCoin, dumped premine & disappeared.



Current Watch List: Please PM all available info on developers/teams associated with coins listed on watch list and feel free to request the addition of coins with questionable teams behind them...



SuperCoin - Thank you to everyone who has contributed info regarding Super, we are in a holding pattern awaiting SuperDev's next move

MammothCoin - See above

MastCoin

GuerillaCoin



Current FUD Watch List: Please PM all available info on developers/teams associated with deliberate FUD campaigns...



CannaCoin - After many accusations of a deliberate FUD campaign and overly moderated thread(even our post was deleted) CCN has been added. We will now begin accepting any and all DOX type information on all those involved in CannaCoin

Help us help the community.



Note: Due to those who either do not understand the value or want to stop any progress with their hate filled posts this topic has been locked. Please continue to PM dev information and results will be posted.



Thanks

Happy & safe trading,

CVG

You & CannaCoin have been accused of launching a deliberate smear campaign against a competing coin and instead of handling it in a mature manner you've chosen to once again to go on the attack.



History does repeat itself and you've proven again that you lack the ability to function in the crypto space without slanderous attacks. I posted in the CannaCoin thread because I had heard from a number of users that the thread was being over moderated. Your response was to delete my post and send an immature PM.

Should we remind everyone that this "FUD campaign" resulted in the accused having to burn 14 million coins he was caught lying about and another 6 million he's still hiding?



Looks like the Crypto Vigilante Group is nothing more than the CANN bagholders club whose dev was caught embezzling funds.



Proof







Ha. It's funny that he is looking for DOX information on the Cannacoin guys who did nothing but expose the CANN pre-mine scam. Sour grapes, much?Should we remind everyone that this "FUD campaign" resulted in the accused having to burn 14 million coins he was caught lying about and another 6 million he's still hiding?Looks like the Crypto Vigilante Group is nothing more than the CANN bagholders club whose dev was caught embezzling funds.

For anyone who wants to know what this is all about:



https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=829975.0 I reported this CryptoVigilanteGroup and their hopes to spread DOX info to the moderators. The dev Delta9 got his hand caught in the CANNdy jar and exposed as a fraud. Get over it and start over on your next PnD off-the-shelf shitcoin. I'm sure your 20 bitcointalk propaganda accounts can be repurposed for some other scam. Leave real coins like CCN alone who did nothing but ask a few questions.For anyone who wants to know what this is all about:

Another "action group" is calling you out for your less than professional conduct as DEVs. Their mission is to weed child-like trolling behavior from the crypto-community. I for one applaud them and don't care who's behind it. You are convinced its CANN supporters, but have no evidence for jumping to this conclusion -- again, just sheer speculation. Showing the blockchains for CANN may have been "facts" but your incessant cries for scam, lies, corruption and fraud of another DEV was speculation. You are not the judge and the jury by any means.





Anyone interested in some lengthy back and forth on the CCN subreddit by a concerned investor (me), check out:



http://www.reddit.com/r/cannacoin/comments/2k19gz/seriously_guys_please_stop/





The exchange there sums up how poorly things were handled and how unnecessary it was for "CCN" to be dragged into this mess.



If James and Patrick felt so strongly about something, that's fine, and they should have done what this group had done and acted anonymously FOR THE SAKE OF CCN. They didn't and because they represent a much larger CCN and NWGT community, their actions unwittingly reflect poorly on more than just them as individuals. As an investor, a shareholder in their development project, I am very upset!



I've been embarrassed and ashamed to be a CCN supporter, but I believe in the projects and won't jump ship. I will also not blindly defend nor embrace childish behavior of those at the helm. I have been a very vocal dissenter of their childish behavior.



I've urged James and Patrick to stop this nonsense. I am a practicing attorney and know a thing or two about libel/slander. Clearly James and Patrick don't know the definitions because quite frankly D9 would have a strong case against them. Facts may have been presented, but the conclusions were drawn based on pure speculation.



James / Patrick (especially you Tokyopotato), for the love of all things IRIE, stop!. Consider representing CCN under a new alias....."Tokyopotato" has forever tarnished any good will CCN still has left and it's time to stop the bleeding! I hate to say it Tokyopotato, 'cause I am "still" a supporter of CCN's projects (not you or James as individuals), but you're getting the negative publicity you deserve and should have seen coming.Another "action group" is calling you out for your less than professional conduct as DEVs.

When did we ever libel or slander anyone? The blockchain does not lie.



We presented all the facts.



I am sorry this does not fit with everyone's version of the events. Anyone can see the information in front of them and read it.



Part of the reason this got out of control, is because the CANN community tried to deny everything and yell "FUD". It was never FUD from the get-go, it was facts that were intentionally being buried and ignored by "the powers that be".



If that's not true, then why did he make the wrong move every single time?



Literally, everything he did after the blockchain data was exposed was to act like an innocent victim. It's the same thing politicians do. If he had just come out and told the truth right away, this would be far less damaging.
