Thanks, it's a bit curious..the password for kingping was changed on August 7th at 11:48 PM and, coincidentally, the post was made by Sharon on the same day, but before the password change, at 10:58 AM. There were email changes but not relevant to the discussion as they were made in late 2018... Since kingpin's post containing that address was made in January, and Sharon posted it on the same day as kingpin's potential hack date, to me it seems that at that point, the same person was still controlling the accounts. The phishing attempts were made after that so if there was a hack, it had nothing to do with the reason that got the Sharon account banned.

If kingpin4321 was hacked on August 7 then Sharon is not responsible for the phishing attempts and the subsequent ban since the account was not in her control. Her posting on the same day doesn't seem relevant. Unless you have something else, like both accounts using the same IP on that day or later.

I mean it still sounds fishy (pun intended) that she didn't complain about the hack and kingpin4321's ban but technically she didn't evade a ban.

See the bill gator case for a precedent.
