Tara M Thomas started buying bitcoin in April.  She provided multiple pictures of herself holding Id in various locations around her house.  She bought from at least 12 different vendors on localbitcoins.com.  We sent her tokens in the us mail twice.  She had to read the codes back from the tokens over the phone to prove her identity to buy such large quantities. Then, in june, she decided to charge back all purchases for the entire year. She told the merchants she and her husband kept a year's worth of money in their checking to pay bills and didn't notice the money missing until she went to use her debit hard and it was denied. The IP addresses she used were all the same and belonged to her home ISP and cell phone.  She uses and iphone.  She filed a report with the Houston police claiming identity theft but she cannot account for all the selfies she took with identification and tokens that she verified which were sent to her through the US mail with tracking. Houston police and FBI are investigating due to the amount she is claiming and the number of victims she has impacted.  Be cautious when dealing with her or her husband.

Tara Marie Thomas took many poses next to her driver's license and passport in many different areas of her house, some with signs stating she was purchasing bitcoin and the contact# of the trade.  She did this willingly with no duress. This is why the merchants that she stole from are upset.  Invoices were mailed to her house, and secure codes were mailed to her house that she had to know to continue buying.  She also bought from other bitcoin merchants using bank transfers which are highly secure and require 2 factor authentication.  She has not reversed these transactions.  She has expressed "remorse" over the fact that the merchants will have to pay for this theivery of hers.  She stated she originally thought the banks and paypal's insurance would cover the thefts.  But, what's done is done.  You thought you would only be hurting corporations, but you are hurting other people with families just like yours.  None of the merchants is threatening anything except for collecting the money owed.

Let me be clear by saying this is a case of personal identity fraud and has nothing to do with my husbands business.  The report above is fabricated in its entirety.  I have never spoken to this person, nor have i ever admitted in any email that his business is failing.  Because it is not... quite the opposite actually.  Our bank accounts have been hacked and credit cards have been used to purchase "Bitcoin", which apparently is a form of virtual currency that is used for the purchase of a number of things... Including drugs and black market items.  I have reports filed through the local police department as well as the FBI and we are working to get to the bottom of this.  The individuals who sold the Bitcoin to this thief are now harassing me and my family through sending threatening emails, posting pictures of my children on open forums, etc.   My husband is an honest man who runs an honest company.  I will say it again to be clear, We are victims in a very messy identity theft case.  Neither my husband or myself has ever heard of bitcoin, let alone purchased several thousands of dollars worth in 2 months.  To the original poster, I would suggest spending your time doing something more productive than harassing an innocent family.... This sir, will get you nowhere...  good luck to you.
