SUMMARY


Looking back at it, MagicMouse0 (then-admin who handled buying in the group chat) had planned to exit scam way back. He's been borrowing BTC from me since last year before the bull run. Worked his way from small to large amount & always returned the BTC. Cumulatively, he had borrowed and returned around 50 BTC with no issue in the past.

Prior to the scam, he asked whether a BTC transaction can be reversed and I taught him about confirmations and replace by fee, clearly stating that it is nearly impossible for anyone to do that once it reaches 1 confirmation on the bitcoin network. He then asked about how "nearly impossible" that really is. Followed by some in depth questions. It was a bit out of character for him to ask those questions but I didn't mind it at all.

A few days later (Dec 30th ish) when my wallet just reached 2 mil, he asked to borrow 1 million USD in BTC, saying he's got a super important big deal on weeds. Promise that exact amount of BTC will be returned in 7 days. He demanded it to be sent on high fee despite I told him that high fee is like 1000 - 2000 dollars. He said he'd cover the fee and it has to be confirmed in 20 minutes otherwise the deal is out. I sent it out after confirming with him that the guys he's dealing with won't scam him.

Two days later, he demanded for yet another 500k for 7 days, citing yet another big deal opportunity, with the same 20 min deadline. I initially refused and told him to send back all the BTC that he owed first. Aaaand he completely freaked out, started to play the victim card, spammed my chat and my Tele phone calls, saying how I am ruining everything for him and don't know what's wrong with me because he's never in his life scammed a soul yada yada. Insisted that he will have to miss so many good deals and it's not realistic for me to expect him to send it back in two days when we agreed on 1 week. I gave in and did what he requested considering the fact that he's never scammed me in the past and that he's heavily vouched for in the group chat.

Two days later, he asked for 250k. and another 250k the next day. All for 7 days, on high fees and 15 to 30 minutes timer within his 1st msg.

He got 66 BTC in 5 days and I didn't question him too much because the first BTC amount was not supposed to be returned to me until 2 days later.

He said "you sent 66 BTC lol" the moment he got the last transaction. A few days later told me his wife quit her job. then "I will never ask you for money ever again." Then "It is okay for young people to take loss because they have the time to earn it back, but it is not the case for older people like me." Much later when I confronted him about (ex) admin A's 30k, he insisted it is (ex) admin A's fault for lending him money, blatantly lied about (ex) admin A having bipolar disorder. When I confronted him about my customer missing 10k payment, he blamed it on his buyer. Despite all that, he insisted that he just needed more time and will not scam any of us.

I only had 0.5 BTC left, half a BTC less than before I started the refund service and had to use that to refund other people's rebill refund fees. All the BTC I earned in March was given to (now ex) Support A because I'd promised him to buy him a Tesla before any of this happened. He deleted me off from his contact list shortly afterwards because of what next paragraph is about to tell you. (He's mad that I somehow got him involved in this, and rightfully so).

MagicMouse0 came back to blackmail us for all our remaining BTC in early March, which led to every except one admin and all supports quit and cut ties with me, the removal of the vouch channel and around 600 members from the group chat. He threatened to dox us and send cops, Feds, and ICE after us (His bro is a cop & he has connection with the Feds; see "scam tactics" section). He also obtained a partial dox of one of my ex-supports, stating if my ex-support wants to see his child getting born and if I don't wanna get jailed, we have to give him all our BTC. (Remember how he promised to not ask for money ever again?). We did not give him anything.

He eventually cut contact with everyone and deleted all chat logs saying he got sentenced to jail for 3 years. A obvious lie because he's been active on Tele according to his last seen recently status as of 04/29/2021.

Back in the days he kept emphasizing that if he were to scam, he would have said "I am going to jail, bye." That is exactly what he did in the end.

Sidenote: Everyone on my team has moved to a new location and cut contact with each other because of this. THIS is how NightSky's Refund Group came to its demise.
