GP is a deity in this place, his integrity is without question. If you got hacked it is on you and you either owe GP a delivery or a refund. Your own account security is your own responsibility
Like I've said earlier, I understand I'm the weaker, and less trusted part, in this situation. It truly is a David versus Goliath battle. Therefore I please ask you to look at the facts at hand, and not only the reputation of the userhandle. I could have just left if I really scammed someone, or tried to and was exposed, but I'm not and are never going to. I stay because I want senior members to stay careful while dealing with greenplastic in the future, at least until he disproves my allegations.

Can someone help me understand why GP did not use escrow? for a newbi account with no trust.
This! This is what I can't fathom as well. Why would he ever do that?
There are two outcomes
1- the op got fished and a well respected member got taken for a decent amount of bitcoin
2- the op had something to do with this as far as claiming he got hacked.
Those in my head are the only 2 things that happened. Period.
i think #1 is what happened but why would gp send 3.5 first to a newbie
That's the central question, and if he can answer that I will believe he was indeed scammed, as he is trying to make the community believe. The way I see it there are now three possibilities:
1) greenplastic tried to scam me. Even with an escrow, the escrow would probably have sided with him, and not released any funds to me, if I sent the coins and he claimed I didn't. He got cold feet when I suggested we used minerjones reshipping service (as this would make such a scam attempt impossible).
2) greenplastic is compromised. Someone else is in possesion of his account as of typing. This would explain the silence and reluctance to give answers to very simple questions.
3) greenplastic was indeed scammed, and I'm making a shit load of drama out of nothing. In this case it should be easy for him to publicly disclose the used btc address as well as the messages he recieved from a scammer. These allegations could be disproven so easily, why aren't they?
