I am sorry to create this post, but unfortunately I am having a bad experience with this esteemed user who has been recommended to me by several mentors.

Last week I agreed with Sonato for a service related to accepting high-risk payments.
I sent him € 1500 in BTC.
He told me we would be in touch the next morning because we were chatting late the day before.

He has been missing for 7 days now. He no longer logged in and I never heard from him again.

I hope it's not a scam but I don't have much hope about it by now.

Maybe you should use an escrow service for this sort of things

I'm using Bro, but the service that Sonato offered seemed better and many people here had spoken highly of him

Don't know who recommended him to you and does not matter. You always have to do your own due diligence and assume a degree of acceptable risk if you proceed. Sadly this is reality of situation.

@sonato Are you around? ns2

because I spoke with him a few days before he had to go to the in court because of gross fraud as he called it. It was a question about prison of 3 - 8 months, so for that period you may not hear back from him. Sorry for you.

BTW. I'm surprised that he did not told you that! But maybe he was not sure how this thing would end.
On the other hand, if you deal with what he deals with you may risk such things, part of the business.

Was not aware about any of his activity as I had no reason to deal or speak to him personally about anything.

Are you a friend of his as he seemed to release such personal information to you? ns2 In any case thanks for letting us know. Please keep in mind if you do come across someone in future you speak to here who has revealed allegations of gross fraud please let us know. It's really only about a duty of care to protect fellow members that use the forum that may not know what they are getting into. - for the others...oh well.

I don't know where he comes from nor am I a friend. All I do is deal with him from time to time over the past years. He is a nice guy normally and delivered what was promised.

The last day we spoke about another deal and he told me what was going on, so I put it on hold :)

I believe he is a European guy.
