I have asked DrahogErusiel some very specific questions which would not be able to be answered by a 3rd party just by reviewing the messages and he answered correctly. I am of the opinion that this is the original account holder and recommend trust rating revisions.
OK, I believe he's in control of the account.  I find it highly suspicious that he got hacked and the hacker didn't change his password whilst asking for a loan and putting the account up for sale.  That sounds like a load of bullshit to me and I'm of the opinion he tried to go Cryptsy on us.

You might be right, but allow me to provide a more likely counter narrative.

1. He went inactive and the hacker got into his account using the hacked database or some other means, thus did not expect him to return quickly.
2. Changing the password would clue off other people that the account was compromised when it was unlikely he would try to log in.
3. The attacker (rightly) assumed he would have had plenty of time to accomplish this before the original user found out. If it weren't for him being so inept it might have worked.

Considering the loan was for a small amount this wasn't exactly like a Cryptsy level exit scam if that was in fact the case. I suggest revision of trust ratings, and if you believe he may have always been in control of the account simply keep an eye on him or leave a neutral rating to replace your negative to warn others of the possibility.
OK, with all due respect that scenario just doesn't sound likely to me.  Not impossible, but I don't think a hacker could have or would have made those assumptions--even if he had been inactive for a while--and we've seen this pattern of scam attempt followed by "I got hacked!" so many times that I think it's the more likely situation.  Bottom line is I don't trust this guy and the rating is going to stay as it is.



I've had far more coin than the .36 (or whatever the hacker was trying to obtain in a loan) before sending the Item. Ill ask 'The 4ner' to chime in if he is still active. If I was interested in robbing someone on here I could of taken a lot more than .36. I'm to simple for all that.

Pharmacist, Dont expect some childish retaliation from me. After looking at how you interact you have enough struggles.
