Discussion Diamond Krono drama thread
- Thread starter Spiffaroni
- Start date
EDIT: Sounds like DK has a hard drug problem too. The paranoid delusions are one of the symptoms of the drug he's addicted to. Partial psychosis is another symptom. This man needs to be disciplined, but he also needs the prayers of the faithful at this time. His path to recovery will be very difficult, as the long-term recovery rates are very low. None of this excuses his actions, or detracts from the primary victims, who are the people he scammed, but it all makes sense now.
I'm sorry to all the victims involved in this - I know some of you were 100% depending on your krono/hard earned money for that month to balance things out. It's definitely a really hard lesson that if something feels off, don't do it. It's really incredibly sad to see him throw all that away and just cast aside people without a second thought. Addiction is a crazy thing if that is the case. I detected a lot of instability from him prior to this, but I had no real evidence to pin it down because it seemed like he always made good on his deals eventually. But I guess a large share of that was him bullying people into not saying anything. That's not what a person of honor and integrity does. Nothing needs to be hidden and you don't need to silence people. Everything should be out in the open.
I know all of the top traders pretty well here - they are all good honest folk and have a solid amount of integrity. This is one of those once in a life time anomalies that almost no one can account for. Ectunnel is still a wonderful place with a wonderful community. The vast majority of the people here that use it regularly on a day to day basis are truly good people. I've met so many good customers and traders. So please don't ever let this shy you away from thinking otherwise. Follow Xuande's Safe Trading guide he posted and it'll keep you away from things like this by a large margin.
Again, it's definitely heart breaking to see people go through this. I mean that as well. I hope you do some how get some recourse and your money back.

So I've never had an issue with DK but there was always one thing that was kind of a red flag to me that I never really brought up. Which is that all of his payment methods were different names and never the same last name so all completely unrelated people. He's the only person I've ever dealt with where this was the case.
Anyways I hope he snaps out of whatever is going on and makes right by people that trusted him.

I've known DK for a while / chatted with him about various disputes or scams that have popped up over the years. I was hoping reading into this that his accounts were stolen or hacked into, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Sorry to everyone that has been scammed by him.
I've always kind of sensed the delusions of grandiosity, but never would have expected this. Then again, I've only purchased Krono from him a few times over the years, so never really got to know him past the dispute chats.
Not good.

That's how he would loop people into the ecosystem. It's not the first or even the tenth time that you trade that he'd pull it. He spent a lot of time gardening.
If I have one positive thing to say about him, it's that he's skilled conman. It isn't admirable but it's the one positive thing I've got. I suppose we all have at least one talent.

Alternate Account (perma-ban)
Here's the REAL kicker folks. Redbot has KNOWN about Diamond Krono's ways for sometimes. He's just now "getting involved" because so many of you are coming forward and he has no choice but to address it. I have emails from him where he laughed at me getting scammed by Diamond and admitted he knew he was a scammer. Might be time for you guys to find another place to buy and sell. I also was the first person to report on Diamonds behavior on youtube last year. If you just search up Diamond Krono you'll see all the videos. he is a drug addicted felon that lives in an RV with anoter fellow junkie. He's tatted head to toe and fades in and out of consciousness constantly. Everything you're seeing, how DK is talking now, the pictures he has as his avatar now, he's ALWAYS been that guy, you're just now finally seeing it. Was a long LONG con from the get go.
Wrong forum
I can tell you, from a phone call that I had with Diamond Krono on Discord in 2023, that that is DK.
(I know that this will get moved over to the drama thread but this is the one time that I've been excited to see the twins. Who am I kidding, I always love when these guys show up.)

No proof? look at where he shows you he’s logged into ectunnel as diamond krono. All the proof is there and all the discord conversations are in the videos.
Also 4 years ago I worked closely with diamond on TLPs. I was in charge of power leveling people with my boxes and then selling in bulk to DK. He’d always tell me keep doing good business then later on when you decide to pull the rug and go rogue no one will believe the victims because you have a bubble of positive feedback around you. I always knew he was a scammer and he knew who I was but didn’t care. He’s addicted to the money. I quit the game after this all went down after he failed to pay me the $1200 he owed me. Maybe that was my karma for how I behaved years ago. Just funny to see people on here acting surprised that the guy is a mass fraud. Remember, it’s always the people you’d never suspect actually doing the bad shit in plain sight.
DK and I used to sit on video calls for hours where he’d fanboy over me. He’s a sick dude. Also owns weapons and absolutely bipolar manic and more than likely schizophrenic exacerbated by his drug and alcohol addiction. This guy makes me look like Mother Theresa.
Wrong forum
To be fair, when youz were on Twitch I created a character named Twinskiss and kept jumping into your frame at the PoK main bank. You guys were disgusted but I could tell that the thought crossed your mind.
I watched you throw a computer against the wall in a rage fit and then return it to Walmart.
Genuinely hope that you and your brother are doing better? I don't know. I feel weird saying that.
I commented earlier that DK might outshine anything that y'all ever did. Is it true that when you got banned from these forums that he immediately scooped up a supplier relationship with you to profit off of your ban?

I haven’t checked this site in literally 12 months. I was googling something and the DK scam thread pulled at top of results. Was intrigued and started laughing my ass off because I fucking called this shit years ago. I have no intention of being on here just had to give u guys the facts.
lol I remember that toon name messing with us. And yes we’re doing phenomenal. Not that anyone likes to hear good news about me but now 5 years sober and even quit smoking cigarettes 40 days ago. Gaining weight, focused on my family and living my life.
And yes DK and I worked together for about 2-3 years. He always knew it was me and didn’t give 2 shits. All about keeping the money train moving and he knew I too was also a master of manipulation.
Also my scam days are LONG behind me. Only came here to report the facts I knew all along. I’m not scared of redbot and don’t care what he does to me but it’s important you guys know he absolutely was aware of DKs behavior and openly turned a blind eye to it. DK used to always tell me how no one would believe when he scammed because of his feedback. Which I always knew was true but also knew was only a matter of time before he made a mistake and fucked the wrong person, just cowardly all the people want to come forward NOW but said nothing when it actually happened
*edit. I'm just SO FUCKING HAPPY to FINALLY see this MOTHER FUCKER get a taste of his own medicine. This ban has also exposed his psychotic behavior that comes out when things dont go his way. Any time we talked on the phone and shit wasn't going EXACTLY his way, the guy literally went mental. I'm talking uncontrollable rage. The dude looks like the kinda guy that would go out shooting with the police. This may very well be the last straw for him as this website was his ONLY source of income. It's ABOUT fucking TIME.
i cant post for another 23 hours it wont let me reply but @Xuande i just saw the video you embeded from youtube lol. whats so funny about him is this was him pretending to not work with me because he knew damn well i was recording. This was years after we worked together when i lived at the motel PLing people. He's ALWAYS known who I am that's WHY he worked with me. That's why I was genuinely surprised when he actually finally burned me. The guy has an ego of epic proportions. He was his own downfall. on another funny note, he used to beg me to chill with him and rave about me. I used to think he was just gas lighting, but i actually truly believe he was fascinated by me.
NEW EDIT* - @Xuande that still shot is DK lol not me.. That's him slamming his bacardi in his RV while we were on discord video call. Look at my call box in the bottom right corner where you see ME.. He's the full screen obviously lol. Idk if you're trolling me right now or maybe you just made a mistake not paying attention also match up the tattoos in the youtube videos, i dont have sleeves. It's clear as day thats him....

I'm glad to hear that you are doing better. I hope that holds true and that you find peace in life.
The sad thing is that I was aware that DK scammed you, that it wasn't an isolated incident and has been going on for a long while, and felt like a crazy person when I tried to speak "truth to power" by sounding the alarm that RJT was scamming people. There was never any solid proof, even if people told me about it or I was directly aware, because nobody was willing to speak out publicly. There are still people who are keeping it to DMs because they're afraid of him or think he'll square up and remit payment. Do you know how crazy that is? It's crazy.
This one is hilarious. I've had a drink or two and .... wow.
This is a verbatim copy and paste of the message that they sent me: please tell me you're retarded without telling me youre retarded bro lol. match up his hand silly goose. That's DK pounding bacardi, was part of one of my video proofs of him. I ONLY drank bud light when I drank, nothing else. Also go look at the other YT videos of him and youll see that's his arm not mine. Please correct what you wrote on the forums suggesting thats me drinking when its not. I don't lie about shit, never have.

Those truly were the days of our lives. That was a crazy summer.
In one of the twins' videos DK says that he's akgrown79 but there are no reliable narrators in this story.

I think Sic was right when he said dk ran a bit of a ponzi scheme, or at least was getting loans to pay off other loans, and when other sellers lowered prices it ruined his margins and he crashed.
Damn. I actually played SWTOR with a guy who was trying to sell ~70 Kronos at one point. I sent him to DK who I figured had the funds laying around to cover the ~$650 for resale. I was surprised to learn he just took the Kronos, then turned around and sold them over the course of the next day before eventually paying my buddy. I remember thinking; well shit, I could've just done that myself. But, if you're paying back past customers on new Krono supplies, that definitely lands in the Ponzi-Scheme realm. Unfortunately would be hard to try and combat that by disallowing what is effectively consignment based sales. Too easy to get upside-down once supply or demand shorts out. Makes sense.
i think he ponzii schemed, got too underwater and came crumbling down when he couldn't keep up - you can see escalation in emotions about how the krono market is dying/dead, eq being dead, this is the death of krono sales, etc - and then his hostility for other people getting in on big krono selling while actually playing both sides in a pretty predatory gross way.
solely buying and selling you're already only making your money on the margin, he frequently would tell people his margin is bigger than anyone 3.50+, but you'd see him buying at 9.50 and selling at 11.00 - he'd tell people his volume was several thousands of dollars in pocket every day.
i think he took some loans so he could try and buy out the market, keep the resale market high to try and make larger profit on a large pool
but people were selling below his threshold - so then he couldn't move anything --- and a macroeconomic principle is "money is the fluid of the economy" --- so if that money he has isn't moving, he's not able to can-kick that scam down the road.
some of the other larger sellers would just wait it out, because they weren't pressed to sell at/below their threshold and have the discipline to keep that straight.
i think dk was forced because he had debts to pay, and was EverSinking. I suspect the new TLP being a "bust" really messed up his +/- on debts and potential incoming.
i think he took "loans" to pay off other loans and was struggling because he got so behind he didn't have anything left on the bone for himself.
he was able to do it for a while because if you manage to do the buy-low / sell-high thing with a large volume, there is money on the margin --- but if you're bad at math (or meth as some have speculated) that gets much harder.
this is kind of hard to piece all this together from screenshots, heresay, and whatnot, but starts coming together the more and more people share info.
there are some people (who have asked to stay nameless) who got scammed because they were doing exactly what dk asked - to trust him based on reputation and feedback and all that - he owed them money, would send them 10% of what money he owed, and then somehow got *additional* krono from them. psychologically this scratches a "im not being scammed because this person sent me some stuff and made an additional deal, and showering me with praise, and is down in these trenches with me"
i've been shared some screenshots of him praising a person, and then immediately in messages with another just absolutely saying how they're a piece of shit and low iq and other really crappy stuff.
when he posted that report on @spk1985 and spk shared the pm's us - i was pretty alarmed at what took place in that conversation. i posted some of my thoughts on that thread
I'm gonna go on a ledge and say that I'd bet my 597 ducats that dk praised @Dealt21 in PM's - prolly said some shit like "its just us 2 against everyone" or "you remind me of myself when i was starting out" and "follow me and you'll go far" --- all the while absolutely roasting him in PM's to other people. now - do people talk shit about other people in pms/dms true or otherwise? of course, and unfortunately, that's probably part and parcel for the game, but i doubt many other people are shitting on someone in one place and telling them how great they are in another. would really love a confirm/deny @Dealt21 (you certainly don't have to chime in if you don't want to - but i suspect you were getting played too)
what is really interesting to me is if FangBreaker had been a very popular server, and he had been able to stay ahead - would anyone have figured it? if so, when? We are having people who are like "yeah 2 years ago i got scammed by him for xyz but didn't chase it because of #1 seller and drama and all that" - holy shit
this is just my random take
hope people get their money - shits expensive.
Ashamed to admit that he was playing both sides and stoking discord between us. I don't know if he was doing to the same on the other end (roasting TGC and me to Dealt) but he was absolutely planting seeds in his garden and watering them vigorously.
Not wanting to work with us, doesn't care if he soaks up all deals, is a meth head, laughing at upsetting us, and so on. Dealt innocently reached out to confirm and I exploded on him. No excuse, but it was the week after a serious surgery and I was beyond medicated on painkillers. DK knew this and exploited it.
Then DK just wouldn't stop. He looped in other traders that I'm close to and started attacking them. TGC and I would frequently receive 20+ messages in the middle of the night, or an entire damn page of messages before either one of us responded. The moment of clarity hit like a sock full of nickels.
Then the guns profile pictures and rambling got even more insane. The way that he talks to the Fitzgeralds in those videos is even crazier. He'd been doing this for years and this just doesn't stop getting more uncomfortable.
It's been an exhausting few months. I'm sorry to the users who got scammed, I'm sorry to Dealt, I'm sorry that I got handily played by somebody that knew I was not in my right mind, I'm sorry that the admins/mods are having to put in work, and I'm sorry to whatever local police department and cybercrimes unit is going to have to interact with this individual. Here's hoping there are actual consequences for the interstate (and international?) wire fraud so that he has time to get clean and reflect on the life he was living.
So I have been selling KR to DK for better part of year. I have always been offered a "I can buy X now and pay upfront or a I can sell them for you for Y amount basically." I'm not talking about a few KR. In the past two months alone it has been over 800 KR. He has always paid me fast and without asking.
I trusted him enough that I would just agree to a price he was going to sell it to me for, normally a little under market value and I would just send him 100 KR and I would t even check to see if/when he paid. It was always in small batches over the next couple of days.
This went until the day he was suspended. Even after that he let me know if the drama happening and told me not to worry, he would pay me back as soon as he can.
He still owes me for about 35ish KR. Would have to check the math for the exact amount. Any admin can verify any of this information by checking the messages between the two of us on this site. Tho we normally talked on discord, we kept all transactions to the messages on this site as an insurance policy.
He has since been offline on discord since, idk what is going on, but seems like something is happening in the real world.
I still have some trust in him based on past interactions, but this thread does have me questioning it. I also probably won't be doing the sell for me option in the future if he does snap out of what ever funk he is in.

@Goodbye_EQ - He was banned from the site and he blocked pretty much everybody on his regular Discord. He's taken people for thousands of dollars.

It appears he either blocked me or he deleted his discord. I'm pretty sure it's the latter. I'm trying one more method of trying to contact him before I spill my tea.
Last conversation I had with him on Discord. 6/29 was the last time he issued a payment. He did seem very desperate for KR there; he kept raising what he was offering me, and earlier had asked me to ask if any of my friends had any to sell at that price. Luckily, no one had any.
So he owes me $286.25, I accidently sent him 30 not 35 there lol. Like I said we both trusted each other and apparently both missed it.
So yea, i guess im spilling the tea after seeing the other posts..... So he has always been a little crazy, and rantful. Sometimes going off on random tangeants and getting upset over nothing. He always apologized the next day, so i assumed he was either an angry drunk or had bipolar. Never really wanted to find out.
EDITTED: I retract my previous statements
The Fitzgeralds also posted a video about that. Serach youtube for "Diamond Krono Richgirl" ANOTHER LAYER HAS BEEN CONFIRMED!
Please post your total Krono/Cash owed in the scam reports thread. This is the drama thread so we don't want you to get lost in it:
Suspicious - Diamond Krono - Major Scam, please report all DK scams here
I've opened a thread with all of the admins in a private chat, because my identity is in most of these screenshots, but here is what is going on... I've had Diamond Krono on Discord for sometime now, and I reached out to him today at EXACTLY 4:14PM EST about selling some Krono's to him...
