The criteria for account recovery is to sign an established BTC address or PGP key: "Typically, the only acceptable method of proving ownership is by signing a message (including current date and desired new email address) using a Bitcoin address or PGP key associated with the account. A Bitcoin address or PGP key is associated with the account only if the account posted the key/address, sent it in a PM, or if it is still listed in the account's profile."

No more, no less.

The OP of this thread contains a signed message from an address in an unedited 2015 post. That should be enough.

There are some groups in telegram, where you can buy such accounts. The seller of account told me, that he is going off from business and he's not need account any more. So I bought it. Of course I delete previous messages from account - because it's not my business. It's normal. So what I must do? Return account and lose my money? I wanted to use in signature campaigns- that's all. And of course I changed email to my new one-it's normal practice.
If i was I a scammer or hacker-I might sold all merits for 10$ per one. Think about ut. But I didn''t do this. I bought this account in 7 of june. It's my mistake-that I didn't find this topic earlier.
Why i'm signed a BTC address? Because I'm in Panic now. I don't wanna lose my 2k$.
I just wanted to take part in Signature campaigns. That's all what I wanted. Now I'm a victim.

You bought stolen property. The person that sold it to you had no right to. It still belongs to the original owner and you have been scammed for 2k by a thief.
