This page says nothing about the fact he scammed customers

edit

He ruled intersango bitcoin, a bitcoin exchange website which became insolvent and then disappared from the web with his customer's credits.--Virus92ita (talk) 16:01, 15 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

Real scammers are bankers, because they blocked his bank accounts. 0x0F (talk) 08:36, 4 May 2016 (UTC)Reply
But he run away from his users, he faded away, keeping the money for himself. He could have asked for help, be clear or something, but instead he decided to shut down the website without a proper communication with the users/customers. At the very least he is irresponsible.

Syria

edit

I came here after reading this BBC article: http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-39417937, which describes how he fought with the Kurdish YPG in Syria, and found that nothing about this is mentioned in the article. I suggest someone who knows more about the subject incorporate it into the Activism section. 212.88.247.32 (talk) 20:48, 29 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

  • For the youtube link that is dead[1], I can't find an alternate source. I did find this [2], but it's an expose ...
  • For the bitcoin talk link, a forum link isn't secondary nor reliable (using that domain is actually banned as a source) so I don't think there will be any documentation that this account in particular was restricted, though we do have adequate secondary sources like [3] that many bitcoin accounts were restricted
  • For the N-1 links I can't tell if they are secondary or reliable

The first source I removed from the Further Reading section, and the second comes from the Wired (magazine) writer who already has three citations in the article. So, both may be valuable for improving this article. Somers-all-the-time (talk) 12:21, 8 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
