I doubt Blazr and TC feel it is ok to charge someone for a service that you are not providing.  It's simple fraud.
Even if they do think that it is okay, it should not matter. If two persons (on DT) opinions can overrule the majority then the system is not working properly. It's pretty clear that almost everyone thinks that escrowing for yourself is not okay. I guess it will be added to one of those 'unwritten' rules for trust. If you break it, you might get a negative.

A negative trust rating isn't the end of the world and I'm sure not trying to overrule anyone.

I believe a number of people are a bit fearful of leaving negative trust for TC/QS for fear that they will be tagged back, removed from DT, hacked, trolled or worse.

There is no doubt in my mind that what they were doing was a totally dishonest and sketchy in more ways than one.  I've read TC private explanation to me over PM and I've tried to believe it, but I just don't.

It would be unfair to remove DT and tag QS, but not TC.  As far as I'm concerned they are both in the same line of business misrepresenting their services, farming accounts and god only knows what else.

I believe TC should be removed off the DT as well.  I will then consider changing my red to a neutral rating for both QS/TC.

QS/TC still have plenty of business history to continue forward with what they do for the forum, but will lose their ability to farm trust for sock puppets when they self escrow.
