His sites are fine they have not been hit.
Where the heck is Sartre?

To be fair, he was a very, very intelligent, gifted individual. I've been a part of this forum for quite some time and the level of quality of information he was dropping, I haven't seen in years on this forum.
From time to time, you have some characters come on BHW and try to pass themselves off as a guru, and 99% of the time they get called out by someone else much smarter than them. I haven't seen you or anyone else do that, or at least try.
He was spewing "complex gibberish" to you. In fact I remember him referring to resources openly, and if anyone questioned it, he could back it up. I remember someone needed help with a script and instead of pointing him to the right resources he completed the entire script and even refractored his code for free on his spare time.
If you look at his reddit history you'll find he was into some extremely "complex gibberish" in the medical field as well. In fact, from his reddit history I saw he posted an audemor piguet watch that he never bragged about here. If he wanted to come out of the gate scamming, I'm sure a pic or two of that watch would've found its way to this forum or his blog, along with some other fancy bs.
The fact is he was a smart guy, that managed to dupe some other smart people here. This isn't any run of the mill bizopp scam. From what I can tell it started with good intentions, and somewhere along the way he found it easier to disappear than to refund a very large sum of money he may or may not have anymore.
Like I said I've been here for a long time and this was the first time I was sold and almost considered dropping $10k without doing additional research. He had a weak landing page and sales funnel, but just knowing this guy knows his stuff I see why so many went through with it.

I don't think that's the same guy, they just have the same name.
The AI Bartoz was a professor during the time this brrupsz/Bartoz says he was a student.

Entertaining thread, but also sorry to hear so many people lost so much money. I hope we all learnt lessons here.

I was talking to someone who has had previous contact with Sartre. He alleges that Sartre got in trouble with a Georgian man for getting his girlfriend drunk and having sex with her. I don't know if the story is true, but he showed proof that he knew Sartre in person, at least at one point in time.

This is the most interesting theory so far
(A) Scammer
(B) Murdered after stealing a Georgia man's wife
(C) Abducted by aliens
(D) Kidnapped and a gang of kidnappers is impersonating him
(E) Threatened for knowing too much
(F) Threatened by the owners of Open AI
I just know that Jacob Swift is a lie...apparently he is a Polish man, supposedly lives in Spain, was moving to Portugal...nothing to justify that American name.

If you look at his website's GA tag history on BuiltWith, you'll find other similar sites that shared the same tag. A few other first/last name sites in the dev space. There's one active in the marketing space.
Could be a coincidence and nothing to it, but I do find it odd.
And as revenge the guy hacked his account and started scamming?

Here's what you can do :
Step 1 : Open this link : https://support.blackhatworld.com/support/tickets/new
Step 2 : fill out the form. Subject : Delete my BHW account. Description : "I'd like to delete my BHW account as every service here is a scam and I'm not mentally disabled or stupid"
Step 3 : Celebrate on saving yourself from falling to a potential scam.

Keep that promise and you'll be broke by the time you log back in tomorrow.
Some services like SEO I can't speak for, but I've used the marketplace many times without any issues. I even resold services here at a huge markup to clients. I did hire a useless dev in the HAF section, but other than that just don't be an idiot and you'll be fine.

Why you being cynical? There are always good and bad everywhere. Start to work on your trust issues. As they come back to bite you later.
Anyways I don't think anyone needs your approval here too.
Good luck. Stay positive.
This just proves my point on how stupid people here are.
What if I'm not here for services, but just discussions and info? lol

Then engage in productive discussions instead of throwing accusations that every service here is a scam. That is an abuse to the honest sellers here as well as the staff who work hard in maintaining the forum.
It's pretty clear who's the stupid one here.

Don't engage with these tbh. It's not productive. I am 99% sure the outcome would not be a discussion. It would be him ventilating his frustration on everyone
I never said that.

Obviously I'm as much in the dark as everyone else, but I think the two are unrelated. Anyway, he liked to portray himself as an adventurous man, for example in his picture on a motorcycle and saying that he travelled all over Asia. It's not hard for me to imagine that he got in trouble because he thought he could get away with "romancing" someone's girlfriend.

As this thread has exploded can someone sum it for me:
How many BHW members actually got scammed, and please exclude those who thought they would get scammed.
How many of these members had a pm history here confirming they were interacting with him.
I have spoken to him a lot in the past, didn’t have a typical scammer profile or a mentality hence just want a clear pic and not read speculations now.

The thread that keeps on giving. When you thought to yourself “wow I’ve read it all now - hacked, kidnapped, scammer, chat gpt guys got him, sim swapped and more” suddenly a wild Georgian man appears looking for his head for bedding his girlfriend!
He’s definitely having a right laugh to himself if he’s reading these posts, which I would bet he is.
