That somebody right now is me and I'm quite confident I was dealing with Bruno:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2544574.msg40211259#msg40211259So 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.
How much did you give him for it if you're happy saying?
Also this is kinda sad that all these users accounts are changing hands since the time I've been here. It'd be nice if more people would just hold onto their accounts but sure, If people need the money then they can sell. Although, this is one of the more notable members so hopefully Bruno gets posession of his account once again!
I'm also curious as to whether this was because of the loan request he made in October/November (for 2
BTC) or whether it's for something else he needed the money for, though I think that's a bit too intrusive. I'm not sure that loan request ever got filled, I knew that he didn't want to give the Gleb account then so something must really have hit him hard.
I'd also suggest that the negative tags on the Gleb account get changed to neutral and that they read that the account has been changed to be owned by Suchmoon.
@Suchmoon, could you sign a message from a staked address from your suchmoon account to show that you own it?
