You should ask The Pharmacist and Lauda to respond here.
I tagged him. An older member should know better than to sell an account here like that, and as far as I'm concerned it's even worse because of the type of account being sold.
I don't particularly agree with the tagging of this activity, but there really isn't really any point in rehashing that argument.
I do think if you are going to be tagging anyone for doing this, you should be tagging everyone (that you are aware of). So given your stance, I am glad you didn't make an exception for him.
If it was still 2015 sure. But, this isn't really an accepted thing to do anymore, and I would of thought they would of known that they wouldn't be able to shift this on if the loan was defaulted. I know they state that it was defaulted on a few years ago, but the only thing that matters is that they are trying to sell it now.
What should be done with the account then? Can you suggest an alternative which doesn't promote account selling and also gives seller some coverage over his loss? I don't encourage account sells either.
The answer is that lenders should not accept forum accounts as collateral. This answer is obviously damaging to the economy, however it is the only solution to make the trust system be applied equally to everyone.
