Well, as most people have noticed as of today, I'm Kevin, also know as Zapo and previously, Atriz. LoyceV, posted this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5042702.msg46487639#msg46487639, a couple hours ago, when I was looking for a 0.3BTC loan. I guess it's time to come clean and address some issues. I will swear on god, that this entire post will contain no lies, and all I wish is for other people to truly understand me. I’m not mad/disappointed at Loyce at all, actually I think it’s pretty moral of him to post that, and I completely understand his/her position.
Thanks for doing the right thing coming clean, and saving me the trouble of creating this thread.

As for the 0.3 BTC loan I requested, I was actually going to pay that back, as too many people’s surprises.  This account was my last straw, and I really wanted to change from the old, careless aTriz style, to a new person who was kind, and someone I was pleased with. The only reason for the new account is because bitcointalk doesn’t really offer any chance of redemption, and I felt it was easier to start afresh, and then improve of myself, then attempting to change on aTriz and do some good as Loyce pointed out.
I have no reason to doubt your intention to pay back the loan.

Let me quote my other post here:
As for trustworthy factors, I've paid out ~3 BTC in campaigns and held up to 2 BTC at once.
That's it. For trustworthy factors: Zapo is aTriz. This is crucial information anyone should know before considering a loan.

I figured this out when Zapo started 2 big signature campaigns, and it's confirmed by both aTriz and Zapo on Telegram. I wanted to give him a chance to redeem himself, while keeping an eye on him and maybe even work together in the future. I also thought of it as "guiding" him a bit, as he could be a great asset to the forum without making the wrong steps. I like aTriz, he's always been friendly to me, he's a good campaign manager, but if he's going to ask for loans, I can't in good conscience allow him to hide his other forum identity.

Zapo opened a thread on "Long term offers" a month ago, in which I made a subtle comment: "Don't.". We discussed this on Telegram. Now I'm done being subtle.

I hate to do this, and I'm fully aware I'm destroying Zapo's reputation. He's done good things from this account.
I'll open a Reputation thread later, I have to go now.

Well, for the future, I’ll continue activities on this account, and keep attempting being the person I strive to be. I won’t exit scam with escrow funds, or work with any scam ICOs, or anything shady, but I think it’s already too late for me to make a return. I’ll remain in the community, hopefully for the best, and I’ll ask for a second chance, but I’m pretty I’ll be bright red after this.
Allow me to emphasize that Zapo did a great job so far, running several signature campaigns without spammers, and he's been trusted with quite large funds to pay those campaigns.
