I sent him a message asking to buy the account back for half of what he paid.
I guess there is nothing else I can do since Theymos and the admin are keeping quiet about the subject...
Incorrect - you should have realised that the "staking" was only done very recently and her account was years old (it took me all of 1 minute to work that out).
The thing is, some accounts are bought and sold very quickly, usually by account farmers who will buy an account, do some posting and rank it up, then sell it as soon as possible. It doesn't seem that strange (at least to me) to see an old account have a new staked message and be sold off after a few months.
Don't lose faith. At some point the community will band together and ostracize these account buyers/sellers that are a cancer to bitcointalk.
I suppose I should stop escrowing these kinds of trades. Or at least make my fees something ridiculous for account trades.
It seriously sucks, there was allot of information on that account that I actually use lol. Like how to get the flex src for cam4btc to compile so I can relaunch the cam site. That's actually how I figured my account was hacked.. I was looking back on some older messages because I am having problems building the source so I can change the ip to a new server.
Now i'm kinda screwed. I guess that's a lesson learned always keep hard copies of important messages and docs...
Maybe the current owner of the account can forward those PMs to you so you at least have access to that information.
