It came as a surprise to Shawn Murfitt to learn B.C.'s securities regulator has fined David Smillie a whopping $18.4 million for defrauding customers of his now defunct cryptocurrency exchange. Murfitt — who lives in the Ottawa area — has spent three years and hundreds of dollars trying to recover just a fraction of that amount from Smillie with little to show for his efforts but a moral victory and a default order from a B.C. small claims court for $31,524.39.

[cryptorecoveryservice]

Liquidity mining (or pig butchering) scams often start with a wrong number text, going on to draw you into a fake investment platform. If this matches what you've experienced so far, you may be in the scam. The scam works by getting you to authorize a smart contract with an infinite allowance (i.e. allowed to take all funds in your account. You can check for such contracts and revoke them by following instructions from the cryptocurrency platform you are using for your wallet. Note: do not ask the scammers for directions on this. My advice is to withdraw your money from the scam site if possible, transfer your money out of the wallet, cut contact, and contact law enforcement. If you confront the scammers about being unable to withdraw the money, they may guilt trip you into paying more fees to do that, for example asking for money to pay "taxes" and offering to cover a part of your expenses.Report the scammer. If you’ve been scammed, you absolutely no need to to blame yourself anyone can get scammed even top traders have gotten their crypto stolen or lost at one point.

The B.C. Securities Commission says a now-defunct cryptocurrency platform based in Nanaimo on Vancouver Island committed a multimillion-dollar securities fraud involving various digital currencies.

In a notice of hearing issued last month, the commission says David Smillie and his numbered company, which did business as ezBtc, lied to customers about its crypto asset trading platform.

The commission says Smillie and the company diverted about $13 million worth of bitcoin and ether, another cryptocurrency, to two online gambling sites without authorization.

The regulator says the company was dissolved in October 2022, but between 2016 and 2019 customers transferred 2,300 bitcoin and 600 ether tokens into wallets hosted by the platform.

That's terrifying

spam emails are horrifying on an entirely different level once you actually begin to grapple with the material reality of ‘cyberspace’. how many servers were involved in dumping this message into my trash folder, where are they located, how much water goes into cooling them every day? where did the metals come from to build these facilities, who maintains them, how much labour and suffering and exploitation is required to bombard me with 50 messages a day i don’t even look at for products i will never buy? not just useless or a nuisance, but actively harming the earth & its people, and for what. zero social value, zero human communication, just capital trying to metastasise
