Dude, you're threading on thin ice here. Let's see, who's more respected/trusted here: the one being "Legendary" with a +45 trust score, or the other one who's a "full member" with a -2 trust rating...?

Anyway: watch it with the unfounded accusations...

On the other hand I must say that I find Steven's story less probable with each passing day. All electronic verifications are not possible for one reason or the other. And the passport picture - as said by others - is easily fakeable... don't know, but I've been doing business with BTC-e for years now, without any issues...
