Only saw this thread yesterday and now I managed to catch up with most of it... Pretty shocked, mainly because I've had coins escrowed with him for almost a full month up until a few days ago. Well, with him or with whoever took control of the account, if it was indeed sold/hacked. Not yet sure what happened here as there were so far 3 people claiming they are the real master-P (including one signing a message, from what I've seen) and other forum users claiming they have evidence that the account was sold, noone of which was posted as far as I saw (maybe I messed something in the middle of all these posts)

master-P's account "Last Active" was on December 28, 2015, 02:39:46 PM, so he's been around and funds have not moved, as far as I've read. Has anyone tried emailing him? If the account's owner wanted to scam he would simply move away with the funds he was controlling...

I think the hacking hypothesis is the most likely one right now, and the hacker did not manage to get away with the private keys, but I may be wrong.

As for trusted escrows, I do believe that there are still some around here, but that's an opinion for other threads. I'll definitely be following closely this one. If the account is confirmed sold... Well, then this would be the worst escrow scandal we've seen so far around here.
