OK wrapping this davidmaxout thing.
After i called david out for scamming me by selling me visa gc then canceling it (
here), he made good on the transaction and was somewhat apoligetic. At the time, he had just cashed in a scoop, and offered to trade some of his winnings with me in return for a wf transfer.
Since i felt kind of bad about trashing him in the NF thread just a few minutes before he finally made good on the other transaction, i decided to do the trade with him after significant begging.
When i went to wells fargo, they said the money would not show up in his account until the next business day. I contacted him by phone and confirmed that he did want me to make the deposit. I made the deposit. Between midnight on tuesday and noon on tuesday, he called me around a dozen times and texted me like 20 times.
When i went to wells they said there was a problem with the account, and the deposit had been returned to my account. OK good enough.
In the mean time, dmo posted in the negative feedback thread, and GTpitch pointed out
this to me from the staking forum when asking me to respond to it. Also user ruusskih contacted me about being scammed by david as well.
At this point, i realized i was holding funds that were most likely stolen. I pmmed ruus and deuce and cleared up everything that had happened. Ruuss says he worked out his issue with david. Deuce said david still owed him about 535 from a reversed paypal transaction. I sent the 535 to deuce7788 and the remaining 40 to Dmo.
In my opinion, Davidmaxout99 should be banned from using the transfer thread and staking and marketplace forums for the following infractions:
1. He reneged on his trade with me for the visa gift card, canceling it after i shipped him the funds. He did make good on this, but apparently did so by stealing money from deuce7788 (from the timing of these two things, it looks like the 50 bucks he shipped me back was money that deuce shipped him for staking)
2. He either misrepresented his identity now or has in the past -- When he was in contact with me, he claimed to be marc SAenz -- but Itt he claims that was a lie. Regardless of which identity is the true one, the mere presence of two is worrisome.
3. He reversed a paypal transaction with deuce7788. While they did work out a payment plan, it is pretty clear to me in context that the only reason an agreement was reached there is that deuce believed that said plan was the only chance he had at getting any money back at all.
4. All this has happened since the 15th of april -- with a first 15 days of membership like this its practically inconceivable that his 2p2 tenure is going to end well.
