Edit: and now appearing to have royally messed up a deal he was acting as escrow for that appears with result in a loss of funds.
We've found the identity of one of the scammers involved with that, and he doesn't want to get charged/rep ruined/e.t.c, so he will be repaying the lost BTC. 5+ BTC has been recovered already, and he's buying more BTC AFAIK. Messed up, maybe, though it was in the agreement that funds are forwarded every 8 hours, but the important thing is that the problem is being solved.
