To put it simply - OHChariot sent me $250 to my crypto exchange to then move to ACR, however, when you move the money from the exchange to an external wallet you MUST complete 2FA (2 factor authentication, which requires you input one verification code sent to you through SMS and one through google authenticator) in order for the transfer to be processed - the difficulty I ran into was that the code being provided by my google authenticator was not being validated by the external wallet (crypto.com app). Every time I input the code it would come back as an INVALID CODE. The issue with this is that 2 factor authentication MUST be completed in order for funds to be moved from the exchange to an external wallet i.e ACR otherwise the funds are essentially stuck on the exchange until the technical support team figure out why this issue is occuring…
This was proved to OHChariot COUNTLESS TIMES - I sent video proof of this issue happening in real time, I sent my chat with support, I sent picture proof of the update support provided to me etc - I WAS FULLY TRANSPARENT AND APOLOGETIC FROM THE GET GO - and yes, I understood fully how this must have felt for OHChariot - I empathised with him and tried to reassure him that I would get this issue resolved promptly. Support outlined that they had a 2hr estimated time frame to get back to people, but this was exceeded by almost 24hrs which wasnt my fault (I also sent proof of this) but as soon as I got correspondence OHChariot was notified immediately. All of this information he continues to say was fabricated, even though I sent him the images/video proof in real time (from my phone) and told him to cross reference the time in the top right hand corner of the image to prove that I had just taken the image.
Once the technical issue was finally resolved (I had to reset my 2FA through the application, delete and reinstall the google authenticator) OHChariot was immediately updated and his funds were sent back to him as requested. He sent a total of $250 and I showed proof that I sent back $234 (as displayed in the same pictures I sent to him below (on discord):
We discussed the small discrepancy between the original amount sent and the amount that was supposed to have been returned and he was fully aware that some minor fees were involved (which he said was fine with - anyone that deals with crypto knows that small fees are STANDARD when youre sending to and fro) - HOWEVER, why there is $40 missing baffles me as much as it does him. The image above clearly shows the withdrawn amount totalling 0.0056137 BTC > $235, so there should only be a loss of $15, not the amount he has outlined. Now thats not me saying he is lying for one second - maybe there were some heavier fees involved, but why hes failing to recognise this is confusing.
IF I WAS SCAMMING HIM;
- his money would have been moved from my crypto wallet to my bank and I would have ghosted him? I showed him proof that his money was stuck on the exchange throughout the entire process up until his money was eventually returned (I made it clear to check the time in the corner of the picture to cross reference it with the time I was messaging him so he knew these pictures were sent in real time).
- I would have ceased all communication with him.
- I wouldnt have updated him at every twist and turn and sent proof to back up what I was saying.
The backlash and upset stemmed from the fact that A) OHChariot pulled out of the stake without me proving that the issue would be resolved and then once completed, moving the money to ACR as originally intended and continuing as normal. B) He made continuous hints at the fact that I could be a scammer when I proved to him otherwise. NO ONE likes to be accused of something theyre not - ive been in 2 other backing deals and NEVER had an issue with funds being sent between both parties, and this was in the thousands. I understood his concern from the jump, but did everything in my power to reassure him that he was assuming wasnt the case.
OhChariot then direct messaged me after having received his money back asking for passport proof - I was more than happy to send this to him (prior to him pulling out of the stake) but we got lost in the confusion of the issue and he eventually pulled out of the agreement so didn't see the need to then send identity proof. As for why my reference chose to hang up - no idea (maybe because my previous backer received a call from a number he didn't recognise and thought it was a scam call which is something a lot of UK residents experience)...baring in mind he tried to contact my reference after having pulled out of the agreement which makes no sense. If he chose to continue with the staking agreement I would have reached out to my backer and informed him that OhChariot was trying to get in touch with him.
Also - OHChariot outlined he coached me for 1-2 hours, (it was actually around 30-40mins) were he asked me a few questions about what id do in x and y spot and sent GTO Wizard screenshots to backup the information he was providing - he insisted on this prior to the stake starting, so i'm not sure why he's posted it like it was an issue.
After having pulled out of the agreement and saying he wasn't willing to stake me - I decided to play with my own funds on stars - only God knows why OhChariot see's this as an issue? He asked if I had funds why didn't I just send him his money back whilst all of this nonsense was going on - I had no way to, I asked OHChariot if he had PayPal as a means of getting money sent between us to put onto pokerstars before this mishap happened but he said he didn't and that he would download and set it up soon...he only notified me that he had his paypal set up AFTER his funds were sent back to him through the crypto exchange. If he notified me whilst this was going on then I would have had zero issue sending him his money back through paypal. He also lives in sweden, so I couldn't bank transfer - he also said he uses skrill, but I dont.
Yes, I admit, I could have handled this situation differently in regards to my outbursts - but I was infuriated that OHChariot was still adamant that he was going to post me even though I proved to him I wasnt scamming and sent the above amount back (see picture above) to him as soon as the issue was resolved. Like, for what reason? The matter was resolved in two days, he had all the proof necessary to reassure him and he STILL proceeds to try and tarnish me? I just dont get it.
PICTURE OF THE ISSUE I WAS FACING - I was receiving the code in real time, but when putting it into the app it was saying the code was invalid.
EXCHANGE BETWEEN MYSELF AND SUPPORT -

Unfortunately im unable to provide video proof of the issue I was facing because you can't post videos to twoplustwo, but if anyone wants it feel free to ask and I can email it to you no problem.

After me saying id pay him back the $40 (even though theres proof that I sent $235), he still proceeds to ignore all the facts of this matter and post me because he got into a hissy fit over the exchange of some heated words. Anyone with a thinking mind can clearly see I gave him enough reassurance, his funds were always on the exchange (until the issue was resolved), I not once ignored, blocked or removed OHChariot so he was unable to contact me throughout the entirety of this process etc etc.
The guy is clearly in his feels because I called him a brokie after he labelled me as a scammer. Im just as much done with this as is he.
