Thanks for the feedback guys, yeah in the end the fault is my own for not getting a signed message and believing the Seller.
Whatever the admins decide is fine by me, but I honestly don't believe the account was "hacked".
The account will not be used outside of posting on this thread anyway until the admins have decided on the accounts fate OR I can give control of the account to one of the admins until it's all sorted out, their choice. Just received a "password reset" email 1 Hour ago that included the following IP: 195.62.223.146 which is definitely not my IP.
TO ADMINS: You have my permission to take control of the account at anytime and do with it as you see fit!
TO "THE ACCOUNT SELLER": You got me, enjoy the Bitcoin scumbag!
