Look like you mixed locked+banned as banned.
As far I know theymos locked the "Hal" account , did not banned him. Nor did I ever read that laszlo was banned nor bpip says so.
I kept his account unlocked because I thought his family members might want to look at his PMs or something, but this is looking like his account was almost certainly compromised. So I locked his account.
The person who controls his account gained access via email-password-reset, so his email is probably also compromised.
