He did pm me here on Bitcointalk first, and in his 3rd message to me gave me his Skype details here via the private message system.  Not the other way round.  Although now he denies that happened.  But I'm happy to give one of the moderators my log in details so they can see my inbox, with his messages, especially if that assists the OP of the other thread about this thief.  While he's claiming that we are fabricating evidence, he's continuing to build his portfolio of victims here.
