I know I brought up the QS conspiracy theory but I think the probability of that one is quite low.

I have no reason to believe QS does have it, but somebody does (or did).

That somebody right now is me and I'm quite confident I was dealing with Bruno:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2544574.msg40211259#msg40211259

So from my point of view the timeline is this:

1) Bruno needs money, makes the ill-conceived decision to sell the Gleb Gamow account.
2) Some sales action takes place, including PMs, but I don't believe the account changes hands.
2a) I can't explain the changes in posting style though Bruno is known for elaborate trollery so...
3) Unable to sell the account Bruno enrolls in a sig campaign to make money.
4) PMs get published, Bruno gets red-tagged and loses campaign revenue.
5) I make an offer to prevent the account from falling into malicious hands should Bruno decide to sell it again.
6) Bruno takes me up on my offer and now I temporarily control the account. When/if Bruno gets it back I will state so publicly.

Even if I'm wrong about some part of this, the fact is the account is in my hands. I'm fully aware of the irony given my stance against account sales and sockpuppetry and the aforementioned impossibility of proving account ownership but I've already stated I won't be using it for anything so it will be really easy to see if I'm telling the truth or not.

Hopefully this puts an end to the drama. Given the circumstances it seemed to me like the best way out. I would appreciate if you could remove neg trust as I don't believe Bruno deserves it but that's really up to you.

Quoting for future reference. so you bought an account and now expecting the red tags to be removed just because you bought the account?
