Where the heck is Sartre?

I mean, what proof do we have for this tho? I don't remember him sharing some screenshots or text generated by gpt-4.

Anyone well versed with how LLM models work can make valid sounding statements about a future GPT model. I can make statements about how GPT-5 is and if you just take my word for it, it would sound very true.

Wow, a lot of sleuthing and info popping up. I guess that's why the mods are letting this thread run for sometime..more and more info popping up.

One thing is clear. It's quite difficult to completely wipe off your internet trail - except you have never been on the internet at all which is not the case for a guy like this. There will be slipups of actual real information about the person from time to time. Put that all together and voila - the profile is revealed, as is gradually happening here.

Bro exit scammed.

Some are in denial, especially the styx guy, he got emotionally involved, calling a virtual persona a "friend". This happens all the time in a long con, victims still care about the scammer.

I knew he was fishy. His replies to me always seem fake.

You got hung up on the 500k but you forget he was a crypto guy, and like any crypto guy he accumulated in the bear market. Huge growth is coming, he'll be easily into 9 figures in the bull market. I bet he builds his own scam coins too.

Carry on. You'll never hear from him again.

Looks busy in some offline business !

2. If there is no issue (no exit scam & was just randomly, unluckily hacked) then why hasn't he reached out to support or created another account?

This is the last message he sent me: hey i just got a lot of life stuff i gotta deal with for the next 2 weeks. everything good. I've build new software for generating content and will upgrade your sites with longer form content. sorry if im not responsive in the next days. hope you're good

Just out of interest, what was his money making tips #1 & #2?

We are all speculating. Wouldn't the mods be able to set the record straight? Surely they must have been contacted by members who think they have been scammed? I mean disputes or some sort opened?

Wouldn't the mods have more details on Sartre than us? I mean for a marketplace seller?

One mod mentioned that there is a dispute in line. It can be open for us to see when all proofs are verified.

It is possible that BHW team might have more information than us but it is upto them to share with members or not.

I did take a quick look at his website and found traces of polish language, if the guy was spanish as you say why some parts of his site are written in polish.

Whatever reason you have its not a good practice to go AFK when you have a business in line and people waiting for you unless thats what you planned.

no, did i ever say that?! maybe you should read the whole thread first. i never said i believe any of that, I SAID I DONT KNOW WHAT HAPPENED! and what i keep saying is i dont think speculations rightnow will lead us anywhere.

Sorry didn’t read everything here. So when is the right time to take action, speculate and warn others? I think this lead to a good attention. Not everyone is looking daily here and maybe still would have done business with the acutual state of the company or who ever runs it.

Plus never under estimate the power of crowd.

I hope he is okay and alive. But this just smells like an exit scam. So people should definitely know that it could be. Even if it’s still speculation.

I think his disappearance has convineint timing with "$10K A.I site" where the refunds are due around this time (said by somebody else).

Given his reputation, I think he probably sold 100-150 such A.I site packages. Now everything is failing, he probably thought its better to bail out than refund the $1M-$1.5M

I think he's set for life and he's not coming back, he's probably laughing at this thread from somewhere on the beach sipping Piña colada.

Were you his client of that Black Friday Mediavine project?

I doubt it was such number of sites, in particular, as other vendors on BHW are offering such for $50 (without Mediavine guarantee obviously). But probably it was still a decent sum one can take to relax for a year or two and launch the next sales thread then.

We cannot conclude that he has run away with the money just because he has been absent for a month. Real life can be unpredictable and challenging. He mentioned some family issues before, so he might be dealing with some problems in his personal life.

Most of my family is Ukrainian, they are living with us now in Spain(women and children). Also disabilities in my family - my daughter is legally deaf and barely survived the birth. Gotta take care of your people.

The moderators should investigate this. If he has taken money from at least 100-150 customers and has not delivered the packages yet, then he might have chosen to scam them and ruin his reputation for $1M-$1.5M.


Also @Alma you had a close contact with him as far as I know, and I see that your sale thread (PAA) has also been inactive for a month. Do you have any idea about Sartre sale thread? Did he face any problems with his work after Chatgpt or Google updates?

I have access to that end of BHW and nothing.

That is very telling because even if he had "life stuff" going on, he'd have logged in & saw his account was compromised/banned within ~14 days.

My gut instinct says exit scam and that message was sent to buy him some time. I could be wrong. I want to be/hope I am wrong.

Although, I do think you should've let with that message in your OP.

It’s strange reading some of his replies vs his own threads.

He’s got broken English in that message to OP and other replies I’ve seen around the forum. Yet in his “method” threads the English is flawless, it’s almost like different people. Just an observation.

He definitely sold bulk of it outside BHW. Probably to some local guys where he lives. The things went south, either they killed him and took over his account or he's long gone with a new identity to escape them.

I dont see him throwing everything away for $200-300K, probably something he makes every couple of years. Either way he's not coming back. If he does come back I doubt anyone is going to trust him with big money after this stint.

I am one of the people are (obviously) scammed. I created a dispute thread against him, I have made a throwaway account because I am ashamed of myself.

Sartre is not kidnapped or death, the day he was ‘hacked’, he send me his last messages on TG, he said:

“Unbelievable seems like someone simswapped me and managed to send out spam through bhw and my skype”

“I'm not sure. I they someone is simswapping me and they managed get through 2FA. Im talking to a guy that specializes in security. This feels bizarre. Someone tried scamming people using my Skype but on bhw they started spamming private messages looking like trying to ban me. Let's agree that I will not request any money from you. I'm warning everyone. I'm not sure what they got access to.”

someone was threatening me on BHW via private message

Sartre, [Apr 27, 2023 at 21:13]
but it seemed they have some mental problems

Sartre, [Apr 27, 2023 at 21:13]
so Idk

Sartre, [Apr 27, 2023 at 21:13]
only thing i can recall related to this

Sartre, [Apr 27, 2023 at 21:15]
the person started a normal conversation

Sartre, [Apr 27, 2023 at 21:15]
then started "warning" me to stop "selling the secrets"

Sartre, [Apr 27, 2023 at 21:16]
and with each message more aggressive language

Sartre, [Apr 27, 2023 at 21:16]
i told them to stop LARPing and fuck off

Sartre, [Apr 27, 2023 at 21:16]
"our operation is 100x bigger than yours"”

“I'm full on lockdown mode. Gonna slowly wipe my computers, phones, replace everything, bought the most secure VPN, ordered a hardware device to replace 2FA on my phone”

Yes, I bought his software. He installed everything and showed it working. I didn’t need to pay directy, the software runned for a week, after that I paid him. I did the wire to lamdainvestments. After he went fully offline the software stopped working, before that it did his job, quality of the content was good.

We talked really a lot, he showed that he was in Tenerife, sent videos of his daughter and tenerife. Also got his voice on some videos. If this is a scam, he is a proffesional.

He could come back and register a new account, create a different persona, and start another BST thread. Nobody would know that he was the previous Sartre. Almost like an existential philosopher would do... oh the irony...
