I believe it was credit card fraud. Someone reversed the cc transaction on him.

that is true.
and it is a strange story at best. because first of all he claims he was selling bitcoin off the market to some random dude using a reversible method which is the most famous method of fraud: credit cards.
the first question is why was he doing this? why not use an exchange like Coinbase/Gdax to sell his coins? was he evading taxes?
the second question is why is he now talking about it? usually when people trade off the market and p2p they don't want any traces be left from them, that is why I think it was tax evasion, in which case why is he now talking about it?!!!

Exactly my thoughts. Why is he just talking about it? What's his real intention to speak out right now? And far as I know, he didn't know a single thing about bitcoin and crypto and maybe he just want to ride the waves and testing the technology behind it that's why he did the most stupidest and lack of common sense to trade with someone with credit card. I'm sure that the lack of knowledge causes him to lost it. But he is bitching and crying like a kid stole a lollipop on him. I doubt though about the tax evasion, maybe his real intention is to play around with it and see how it goes.
