Hello. mr. Daniel.
D
09:57
Dan
Hello
09:57
I need to know what is happening and what you intend to do.
09:58
I got scammed before by an American and some British….and did not end well for them.
09:59
Im good at getting scammed….
09:59
so what do you want to do?
MB
10:05
Mercurio BTC
Last time when I checked the bot I found that balance on your account disappeared. I got scared and quickly left Cambodia. I don’t have excuse for it, because you entrusted me custody of you money which I failed. I intend to refund your money of course.
My only idea how API keys may be leaked is when I sent you backup keys over open network.
I want to return your money and stay away of trouble.
D
10:06
Dan
I dont believe that.
10:06
sorry
MB
10:07
Mercurio BTC
I know, so how much do I owe you?
D
10:08
Dan
last balance check from BOT….
10:09
Available coins:
BTC : 0.03976737
BNB : 3.57E-6
USDT : 94772.28876593
NANO : 0.0962
HBAR : 0.51
HIVE : 0.58
XPR : 2.997
NFT : 13739.256905
SGB : 2.1132846
10:14
with your honest response, I will correct/revise action/posts already made and stop any further action, so that your reputation is not damaged
10:26
so just tell me what you want to do
MB
10:27
Mercurio BTC
I need time to collect refund
D
10:27
Dan
how much time?
MB
10:28
Mercurio BTC
I can’t know
D
10:28
Dan
give me an estimate
10:30
or a repayment schedule
D
10:59
Dan
do you have transaction history from Binance that shows where the coins went?
11:03
In reply to this message
what is the “open network” that you refer to?
MB
11:03
Mercurio BTC
I bought a car and even if I manage to sell it quickly for the same price (which is nearly impossible), after what I lost on January’s crypto fall playing with your money, I’ll manage to have 94000 USDT. Thank god still able to repay the debt and will be left empty pocketed and my mother and I without apartment
D
11:04
Dan
um….”playing with your money”??
MB

In reply to this message
I beg you to keep this conversation private. I know about the domain name step
D
11:05
Dan
you are giving me 2 different answers
11:05
one is that API keys got leaked
11:06
second is that you were playing with my money and lost it in the Jan crash
D
11:25
Dan
just be honest with me….which one is correct?
11:25
and please give a repayment schedule
D
13:36
Dan
I am willing to work with you on a schedule….how about $10K per month on the first day of each month?
13:36
but I need to see action not just words/promises
D
14:46
Dan
so again….let me know what you want to do….
MB
15:53
Mercurio BTC
In reply to this message
the last. and the $10k per month is bearable, I have a chance to solve it
16:03
I lost on Jan crash as well because I bought bitcoin to hide it
MB
16:25
Mercurio BTC
Then bought LUNA, then bought UNFI 😓
16:26
don’t have any property to sell
D
16:38
Dan
Well, you know you should not have been playing with my funds.
16:39
I trusted you to keep it secure and paid you transaction fees per our agreement
16:40
So if you can make payments according to a schedule, then I can agree to not take further action.
16:40
But you need to give me a schedule and make a first payment ASAP.
MB
16:44
Mercurio BTC
I did it to buy apartments for me and me mother which we never had our own and stop servicing
16:45
all is truth here except the API key part
16:49
I hold BUSD now, you sent BTC address and debt is in USDT. Where to send the first $10k?
17:03
this is what I got
17:10
this is what I got
D
17:17
Dan
I have Coinbase. Not sure if its USDT.
17:17
Will check it
D
17:35
Dan
can you just convert to BTC and send to the address that I gave you already?
17:36
I am fine if you want to repay in BTC and do a 10K per month repayment and to convert to equivalent of 10K on the first day of each month
17:36
that way if BTC recovers, you pay less
17:37
can you agree to this?
17:38
or 10 payments of BTC equivalent of US$9,500
17:40
that way there is a mutual interest in fast repayment assuming BTC/USD price recovers
17:44
BTC address again is: 3FRo32ZJLjgTWp7YaN8FSbcmUi2P4eDjQf
17:54
and I want to offer a discount on additional payments made in the same month – so can be BTC equivalent of US$8,000 if you can make more than 1 payment per month
17:54
so for example….
17:54
1 payment = US$9,500
17:55
2 payments = US$17,500
17:55
3 payments = US$25,500
17:56
if made in the same month
17:56
in BTC equivalent of the USD amount
17:56
make sense?
17:58
if only 1 payment is made per month, then its the BTC equivalent of USD9,500 due on the first of each month
D
19:15
Dan
can you make the first payment now?
19:16
I need it in my Coinbase because I overdraw on my last purchase attempt
MB
19:16
Mercurio BTC
I don’t have technical ability to make payment now
D
19:16
Dan
tomorrow?
MB
19:17
Mercurio BTC
I can
D
19:18
Dan
great, please do.
19:19
I appreciate your willingness to solve this….although you know it was shitty to have played with my funds…
MB
19:22
Mercurio BTC
It’s not like this easy to me, I literally scrapping every penny around to build up repayment, not a joke
D
19:22
Dan
can you confirm your agreement to the payment schedule outlined above – 10 total payments of US$9,500 – with discount applied for additional payments made in the same month?

In reply to this message
there is a misunderstanding. I’d converted USDT to BTC before withdrawal and it kept falling
19:26
I have no better choice than 10 months
D
19:27
Dan
I think you are telling me that you converted my USDT to BTC and then traded that….correct?
MB
19:28
Mercurio BTC
yes
19:28
now I hold 60000 BUSD
19:28
and car
19:29
which I can’t quickly sell for same price
D
19:29
Dan
yeah, so the total that you owe me is in USDT as stated in the last balance
19:29
Im just saying that you can repay me in the BTC equivalent over the 10 month period
19:29
no need to convert your BTC to USDT
19:30
sorry….do you mean you have no BTC now?
MB
19:32
Mercurio BTC
no. I stupidly invested in both LUNA and UNFI and it both fell down. then I stabilized in BUSD
19:33
I thought with your volumes and risk tolerance you won’t even notice
D
19:34
Dan
dont know what to tell you
19:34
Coinbase has no BUSD
19:35
there is USDT, BTC, USDC
19:36
which one do you want to send in?
MB
19:38
Mercurio BTC
I can use bitcoin
19:38
just thinking how to get the remaining 35k
D
19:42
Dan
can you make more than 1 payment to start….at discounted payment rate of $8,000?
MB
19:48
Mercurio BTC
yes, tomorrow
31 January 2022
D
07:05
Dan
if you can make it 4 payments today – then I can discount the total another $500, so that means you send me the BTC equivalent of $33,000 instead of $33,500 and that clears the first 4 payments that you owe me.
07:05
Possible?
07:12
if you can do this, I will update the FB posts to reflect the repayment situation.
D
07:39
Dan
of course….without mentioning any detail about what happened regarding the “playing”….
07:39
I see that you are showing good faith so I want to show good faith too.
MB
08:02
Mercurio BTC
Cheers, mate! I understand your psychology well now, you expose a classic bank debt collector in your texts.
I admire your skills hiding your identity in crowd and anti face-recognition photoshop skills, it’s outstanding! I learned a lot.
I believe my Binance account is gone for a good reason and back then I also learned chainwatch became real thing now. I’d love to know your real job, but I’m sure you’ll never tell.
I know it might be frustrating, but your money is gone. I’ll not repay, not until I’ll 10x it may be.
Anyone can write anything on the internet, there is no proof you hadn’t modified a bit.
I’m well-fenced here, I don’t run any business in Russia anyways and nobody will start check of low-profit individual based on a blog.
Personal data is not really precious and well-guarded here, it’s just a quick paper to sign routinely.
I can change ID legally without a reason here 2 times a year, with reason you’re creating infinitely!
And Facebook is not even accessible from Russia, mate! 🙂
Please accept the loss of this not much significant money, to be realistic you invested in HIGH-RISK coins such amounts.
Learn from the loss and god bless you.
D
08:05
Dan
so it seems you changed your mind….
08:06
To be clear, you invested MY funds and lost them
08:08
what about just making 1 payment today, as you promised to do yesterday
08:09
no need to rush it, I can give you time
08:09
in the long run….this path isn’t worth it
MB
08:10
Mercurio BTC
I could, but I’ll definitely find fresh minted or something not connected to me
08:10
As a sign of good will
D
08:11
Dan
I appreciate it
08:11
can be something other than BTC as well
08:11
or even wire transfer USD to my ABA account in Cambodia
MB
08:12
Mercurio BTC
In reply to this message
That is the best way
D
08:12
Dan
I think you still have your ABA account here as I sent you $1 with a message a few days ago
MB
08:12
Mercurio BTC
I noticed
08:13
Give me few hours
08:19
could you hand over the domain access now please?
D
08:20
Dan
after you send the above text….?
08:20
sent
08:23
when I got scammed before, I worked out a settlement with the scammers that had payments made on their side made before actions taken on my side
08:25
“a classic bank debt collector” charges interest on the debt owed and NEVER offers discounts on the principle owed
MB
08:26
Mercurio BTC
You’re right.

so like I said – the discount on additional payments made within the same month can still apply

did you really leave Cambodia due to this loss?

after we settle our case I may show you my city

Also, in order to document the past and current situation and what we have now agreed on repayment, I have hired a lawyer in Yekaterinburg to prepare the attached basic Agreement. This gives both of us a common understanding and a path forward. Please let me know if you have any comments.
12:32
Agreement

14:20
Mercurio BTC
Hello. Ok, I’ll review the document
D

The reason for the document is peace of mind on the path forward.
14 February 2022
D
07:43
Dan
Can you let me know your comments this week? I would like to have a signed agreement before the end of this month.
07:44
this would be a private agreement only between you and I – so it remains confidential between you and I.
MB
13:09
Mercurio BTC
I will not sign it with 10% per month interest hah
D
13:39
Dan
I thought there should be some kind of penalty for a missed payment. What do you propose?
13:40
of course, it would be best if there were no missed payments….
D
20:40
Dan
is the late penalty clause the only issue? it could be replaced with an acceleration clause. the idea is to create an incentive for payments to be made on time. I’m giving you a lot already so dont push it. You basically have a free loan for a year after “playing with my funds”. Im handling this so far in a civil manner because I dont want to complicate things with involvement of lawyers, court filings, etc. so lets make an agreement and sign this.
MB
21:00
Mercurio BTC
I don’t want to enter into legal agreement cause I can’t give what you want not at least this year. You may do what you think you must, the more you do the less I want to cooperate. The only motive for me is moral guilt which may fade, I am willing to repay when I’m able to do, but I’ll not take any legal responsibility. Provide you long term contact how I can reach you.
MB
23:55
Mercurio BTC
Why my binance was suspended just after your crypto received?
15 February 2022
D
07:17
Dan
I imagine that under Russian law you already have legal responsibility, regardless of the Agreement based on our arrangement over year 2021. So the Agreement was just to make the situation clear for both of us.
07:18
Have no idea about your Binance. My crypto was bought from cryptoasia and then later direct from you.
D
07:40
Dan
I think you can understand why I find it difficult to trust your morals. Ive never made a bigger mistake in trusting someone. You’ve told me already that you have more than $60,000 and crypto market has already started recovery. I’m not asking for all of it back immediately (which is my right as its my money that you have) and Im offering you lots of time. Its an incredible way of understanding what it means to run a business….
D
09:03
Dan
Other than the crypto transferred to you, I have the following record of USD sent to you by WING and ABA….

16:24
Dan
try DESO….I think it will take off
16 February 2022
D
07:46
Dan
so there is still a fundamental misunderstanding and lack of appreciation of the facts here….
07:46
you created a separate account for me and told me that it was separate and that you could not access it
07:46
I never expected that you were trading with my funds
07:46
or gave you permission to do that
07:47
or give you a loan to make trades with my funds
07:47
so the funds that you still hold
07:48
are NOT YOUR funds
07:48
I understand the situation but you’ve also gone and bought a new car with some of the funds and still hold at least $60,000 in cash
07:51
so for now, since you are not willing to sign an Agreement to commit to the schedule that you previously agreed to, I ask that you focus on first returning the USD that I transferred to you during the course of 2021….
07:51
which is this….
07:51

07:51
minus the $9,500 that you already transferred back
18 February 2022

11:39

which amounts to 29,400 or 3 payments of 9,800

Hello, Daniel.
With uncertainty today, related to the war in Ukraine, sanctions devastating our economy I can’t be sure of tomorrow. I am not sure if I can open accounts anywhere in the world now or if I can make money internationally. I can’t even be sure there will not be global war this year. Such situation is not time for philosophy and thinking what is good or bad. What I need to think about is survival and if I have to choose between my family’s safety and potential enemy’s financial loss then I don’t need to think twice. It would be a crime against my family to leave them without roof and money to handle force majeure events that may happen next in our country.
I assure you law enforcement will not protect you here. Telegram chats has no legal power and what you sent to my account is 1) happened in foreign country, 2) has no written legal agreements on what terms money was sent.
No lawyer will be able to do anything with evidence you have. Finally majority of government clerks are brain-washed against Americans and will not do anything, we have our own problems now.
Denunciation of my name is not serious at all. I can choose other name and continue business as usual.
Frankly, I do not believe you’re a saint law-abiding citizen. Why would you seek to hide money on other’s accounts? Why my binance is lost? To steal stolen money is a feat here. My friends cheer me up.
Online shadow business, which I believe you do, has risks and you accepted this risk when you trusted money to a private person instead of a corporation. Again, I believe the reason is that you just couldn’t move it to corporate to avoid AML checks which you can’t pass. As you told before, others took your money as well, which proves that you hide dirty money on other’s unsuspecting accounts for years. And as I told to steal stolen is a feat.
I urge you to accept reality of this loss, focus on income. I wish you success and hope NATO and Russia will not ever be in war and the world we know now will continue to exist.
Good luck. I will remain silent from now on.

somehow Im not surprised by your response. you wish to use international politics as an excuse to break a personal agreement between you and I, an agreement by which I agreed to give you almost a year to repay money that you stole from me. it could not be more clear. I was told that my funds were kept in a separate account and had no idea that you were trading with my funds. Im not claiming to be a saint of any kind. Im simply asking for the return of my money that is kept in your custody and am met with repeated broken promises.
07:16
I never wanted to “hide” my money in your account. I took the risk that you could be trusted. I got kicked off of Binance because Binance did not want any US citizens and I wanted to keep access to Binance because I was already familiar with the platform and because they offered access to a lot more altcoins, lower fees, and the ability to place limit orders – all features that made it much more desirable than Coinbase, the main US-based crypto platform.
07:18
you are trying to justify your own theft in your mind by claiming that I am a thief…with no evidence. Im a boring lawyer who still has monthly student loan payments. this loss will be greatly damaging to me, but at least you got a new car!
07:21
there is nothing dirty about my money. its hard earned through work and years of training required to get the trust in order to get the work. My main mistake is that I take risks with investing my own money that I would never advise to any client. Ive lost big in the stock market before…..and now this. Incredible. I simply dont know what to say.
07:22
you will someday find out that in this life that the only real things are values – not money, cars, “bling”…etc.
07:23
your country’s great writers like Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky knew this.
07:24
if you knew me well you would know that I am not a flag-waving uncritical “America-first” supporter.
07:24
I value people as they value themselves
07:25
personally, Id like to see the Russian people rise up and overthrow the new tsar and his backers and have a real rebirth of freedom, transparency and trust
07:26
it must be hard to live where no one can be trusted
07:27
but I now see how this affects others as well….
07:29
the reason for the website is to get the word out about you.
07:29
you are dangerous and cannot be trusted
07:29
if you do this to me, you will do it to others
07:29
backstabbing isnt cool
D
07:51
Dan
further your understanding of how private/civil claims are made needs some work….
07:52
I do not need the cooperation of Russian law enforcement (police or government)….I only need the cooperation of a Russian lawyer to file claims in court that you will then have to defend.
07:53
even without a formal written agreement, I have enough contextual evidence to bring claims
07:54
and even if they are not ultimately successful in court, you will have to deal with them there – either by yourself or by hiring your own lawyer
07:55
so I was offering you the generous option of avoiding all of this, and giving you nearly a year to repay MY MONEY….but you are not interested
08:02
same with changing your name etc. I dont need to do this work myself – I can hire an investigator there to find out what your new name is….it will not be that hard.
08:03
so you are not thinking this through….and in the long run it isnt worth it….for you or your “business”….
