I wont speak for why it was locked.

But, it dragged some reputable people through the mud. Just because someone’s name shows up in an open source, its not proof they did something wrong. Scammers use TS names all the time, but we don't post threads linking the TS to the scammers illegal activities. My $0.02.

Solid explanations would be great, for why it was locked...

We don’t always get an explanation. It’s a non issue.

A good review of the rules might yield some clues.

interesting that posting actual name and bank info is widely done and not blackholed when it comes to fraud/scams on here, but this thread ruffled someone’s underpants with authority?

It’s clear the OP was on a mission to expose a few bad ducks... as to why, nobody will ever know.

I was told my thread was "pulled by a TRF moderator for good reason". And that if I post it "a third time your posting privileges will be curtailed."


I guess I won't be doing that, anyway you can find me on Reddit's /r/watches subreddit and a google search of "Deepdweller" and "Lexic" would give you interesting results. My write-up was pulled from Wordpress but it has found a new home at Lexic.


I'll also be posting a development soon, I have been given TC's payment instructions from 2014 showing International Precision Inc in the bank details. Yes, that same International Precision.

I’ll guess the reason why you keep getting taken down is because as much as you’ve connected dots, your missive is still just your missive. The “Court of Public Opinion” is not a real court, and until a real court decides, nothing you’ve provided can be considered settled fact.



You present being taken down as some great conspiracy - a cabal against you to protect a counterfeiter. The reality is you are posting legally unproven information on public spaces like WUS, Reddit, Wordpress, and they don’t want to get sued for allowing it. Plus you’ve doxxed some of the players, and in some states that’s an actual crime.



You get to hide behind a veil of anonymity, while the players in your story do not get to legally rebut your assertions, question your motives, or get judged by uninterested third parties-a jury of peers. You’ve denied them Due Process, and if your motives were truly pure, you should’ve sent the information to LE, then reported about it after it was settled.

I think people do not know what doxxing means. You have to have malicious intent. The poster only posted info he found publicly.

It has been updated with some new information. It seems that I'm not allowed to link to it but Google is an amazing search engine.

The WUS admin has been in touch with TRF mods about this according to a post of his on the still visible but locked thread on here. He has got lawyers involved according to a post of his on WUS. 2+2.
