Hey all,
I'm a 22 year old Hungarian boy, been a gambling addict since I was 15-16, it got to the point where I lie, steal, manipulate, do whatever to get money to bet with.
Might be interesting for some from a psychological standpoint how one can go down the slippery slope of addiction so fast, also with me having 2 suspended sentences for unrelated small crimes, if I get reported for criminal amount of internet fraud, I go to prison for sure.
Maybe while I'm out here I can provide a perspective for some.
Obviously throwaway account, as I'm an active redditor.
Hello Reddit, I am Aparna Rayasam (u/AparnaRayasam), Senior Vice President and General Manager, Application Security at Akamai (u/akamai_technologies). My job is to help power and protect life online from some of the most dangerous threats launched at the internet.
With 24+ years of experience in software engineering, I’ve worked on some of the most technical problems in the industry. I started my career as a programmer and have led design, development, and delivery of many complex solutions in a career that has spanned across Adobe Systems and BEA Technologies. I’m passionate about creating equitable organizations, and I led a thriving employee resource group at Akamai — The Women’s Forum, with chapters for employees in the U.S., EMEA, and APJ-India.
In the past year, we’ve seen more damage from cybercriminals attacking our institutions. Attackers are using technologies that leave fewer traces. It’s a constant race for security teams to innovate and stay ahead. With over 300 TB of daily attack data and petabytes of daily internet traffic, Akamai leverages its unique edge platform, unparalleled visibility, and expert teams to create industry leading security solutions. It is my team’s responsibility to create comprehensive and easy-to-use security products that scale to address today’s sophisticated attacks. What does this mean for you? Less disruption and a secure online experience where you can bring your big ideas to life.
Ask me about countering threats with app and API security, fraud prevention, and network infrastructure security. How Akamai helps make life online unstoppable. Why math is often an overlooked aspect of STEM, or how we can create more equitable organizations. And maybe how to decompress with running or how to curate a beautiful living space (I love interior design)!

I invested in dfinity 3.5 years ago in the private sale and I've been trying my best to get answers but Dfinity doesn't answer questions that might make them look unsavory or require them. I don't know how to properly organize this post because its a lot of information to take in so i'll just start listing things and providing the proof. I tried and tried and tried to sort this out with Dfinity in a private manner. Every step of the way I was stonewalled or ignored. I've submitted support requests for many different reasons and have never received a single response. Every attempt I made on twitter was ignored. Every attempt I made on reddit was largely met with animosity or ignored. Prior to the removal of the dfinity subreddit chatroom, my history discussing this went back as far as late last year. I have provided as much proof as possible and tried to minimize speculation so you can come to your own conclusions.
edit: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/28/business/dealbook/icp-cryptocurrency-crash.html?referringSource=articleShare ny times article popped up with a report similar to my own but much more in depth.
Dfinity withheld critical tokenomics and vesting schedule information from investors upon launch, and still do.

According to their launch video, the circulating supply at launch was 26% of the total supply. They did not explain how they got this number, they still haven't explained how they got this number. Any posts about supply or price are promptly deleted from the subreddit. I made another one recently and still no answer and deleted again (for some reason it only shows up as deleted for me on www . reddit .com, and not on np.reddit.com or old . reddit .com). It didn't used to be against the rules to post threads about supply, but they don't want to answer these kinds of questions so they have made it impossible to ask them.

After doing a bunch of research, working on the assumption that 26% is accurate and stumbling upon a 107m wallet with no locking mechanism, I came to the conclusion that Dfinity controlled 111 million of the 124 million (26%) of supply at launch and for the entire first month because that is their distribution according to messari,
March 6: I listed a Samsung Galaxy Watch Active2 on eBay with a price of $179. Here is the listing for the watch that I sold
March 7: Someone purchased the watch. The address was listed as Fisher, Illinois. I noticed that the buyer was a brand new account and it was made on March 7, with 0 feedback.
March 8: I shipped out the package.
March 15: The buyer made a return request and claimed that the touch bezel for the watch is broken. I sent a link to the buyer telling them how to turn on the touch bezel, and to respond if they still need a refund. Even though I did not accept returns, buyers can return an item if they claim it does not work.
March 18: The buyer asked eBay to step in and make a decision about the return. eBay sided with the buyer and the buyer was told to return the item.
March 24: The tracking information was updated and it showed that the item was picked up in Ladson, South Carolina. The return came from South Carolina even though I shipped the item to Illinois.
March 26: USPS tracking said the item was delivered to my address. I checked the mail and I did not find any package. Here is the tracking information for the package
March 27: I called USPS and asked why the package was not delivered. After a few minutes on hold, the clerk came back and told me that the package was not delivered to my address, it was delivered to a different address on the same street, because the shipping label had 37xx Avenue instead of my address, which is 75xx (numbers have been altered for anonymity). The clerk also told me that the mail carrier is a veteran with 20+ years of experience, and it is unlikely that he/she made a mistake.
March 27: I made an appeal to eBay and I wrote in my appeal that: (1) The item was not returned to my address, it was returned to a different address on my street (2) I did not receive any package from the buyer, and I do not have the Samsung Galaxy Watch that I sold (3) The return package was picked up in South Carolina even though I sent the package to Illinois, and the two places are ~800 miles away from each other (4) The seller is a bra

Here is the rest of the story:
March 30: I contacted eBay via Twitter and I asked them to look into my case. This is my Tweet to eBay. (Link #1) Even though my appeal had been denied by the appeals department and I was out of options, eBay via Twitter made a new request for me.
March 31/April 1: I made complaint for mail fraud with the US Postal Inspection Service (USPIS) (Link #2) and a complaint for internet fraud with the FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center (Link #3). I messaged eBay via Twitter and told them that I made complaints with law enforcement because I think the person committed a crime.
April 1: I started looking into this type of fraud and it is actually pretty common, it's usually done to big companies like Amazon, eBay, Best Buy, etc. This scam is known as a "fake tracking ID (FTID)", and the buyer did it with the help of an accomplice. The accomplice created a tracking number with my "correct address", then he used Adobe Photoshop to change the text printed on the shipping label. Because the receiving address was one mile away from my house, but it was in the same ZIP code, USPS sent the package to the correct Post Office, and then the mail person looked at the shipping label and saw the "wrong address" and delivered it to the wrong address. The electronic tracking number and the information on the shipping label did NOT match because Adobe Photoshop was used to change the info. Here's an article with more details about FTID scams (Link #4)
April 10: eBay messaged me via Twitter and said that my request was approved, I received a refund for $179 (Link #5)
April 11: I asked eBay about the $4.53 return shipping for the package that wasn't sent to my house. eBay gave me a credit of $4.53 (Link #6), when I sell an item on eBay my selling fees will be $4.53 less to cover the return shipping that wa

I live in Wyoming. I am having an issue with our internet provider (a big name/national company) and I don't know what kind of legal standing I have, if I can (or should) file a complaint with the FTC, or what I can even do, if anything. We're paying just about $75 for our internet service; we get 30 MBPS for this, and for one, I had to go through three different service techs to even find this information, as it isn't listed in our billing or account information anywhere. However, there are multiple other people in our neighborhood who use the same provider, pay the same price, and they get 100 MBPS for that price - when I pressed customer support for why we're paying the same price for only a third of the speed, they refused to offer an explanation, and further told me it'd be $100 per month to increase our internet to that speed. They wouldn't elaborate on why, and kept referring me to a 1-800 number that I do intend to call in the morning. Is there any action that I can take in terms of this? It doesn't seem fair that they can refuse to answer my questions about why we're paying so much for so little, when I have confirmation from other customers in our direct service area that they're getting a higher speed.
Is this fraud? Is there anything I can do to right this?
