That proves absolutely nothing. Everything was transferred in the sale, meaning that the escrow could have been completed seamlessly.
That's a point i can't believe again. Who in their right mind would sell a forum account including wallet that maybe contains 10 bitcoins for 1 or 2 bitcoins? It's pathetic to believe that this could have happened. So stupid can nobody be. Especially not an escrow who is trained to sniff out potential scams.
No, beyond possible.
What training? I remember thinking back when he started escrowing people were putting a lot of trust in him very quickly, and it was concerning to me. I think this was partially a result of the difficulties surrounding other leading providers at the time, then after he did a few transactions he started farming trust ratings and then appeared to be very trusted by gaming the trust system (who knew that was possible amiright?). After that he was free to run his long cons. This is what you get when you have a trust system based on politics and associations rather than the actual number of successful trades, amounts, period of service, etc. We all know which ostrich with their head in the sand we have to thank for that.
People are getting far too lax and demand everything be easy, and they want someone to promise them everything will be ok and to tuck them in. These things happen and instantly people demand more centralization and some overseer to fix the problem, but you are too blinded by your own compulsion for security to see that centralization is exactly what put you at risk in the first place. Take responsibility for your own trades and researching your trading partners. Build your own REAL trust lists, not based on +1's and -1's but on your knowledge of your trading partner and building your own real networks of trust, not just username profiles.
