-snip- You can never really tell what happened unless the user gives an explanation but as long as you could see the quality of the post, it's really not worth that much IMHO.

The user (i.e. gizmo) has also given an explanation of why he gave 50 merits at once in a post that we know he asked for help tracking the stolen coins, without explaining how his coins were stolen by others.

the following explanation:

I know the guy, he is due around 5 btc. Basically he sent coins to the wrong contact address. The receiver gave back some, but kept 5 btc.
I thought giving him merit would allow him to send PM, not the case though with newbie a/c.

If one gets credited a million dollars to his Bank account by error but doesn't completely refund it back, it is an offence. ( https://www.money.co.uk/guides/can-you-keep-money-accidentally-paid-into-your-bank-account.htm )

Is it similar case for Bitcoin transactions? I would think so..

the mistake made by gizmo was not to think in advance why he had to give 50 merit, if he really needed help regarding the 5 btc error that was transferred could use just a gizmo account to be more convincing.

I thought this would be about me as I am dropping 50 to members on the regular, it does look pretty dodgy to me!

he follows the way you want to be like you, maybe Gizmo will be your partner, as the most merit provider for one user Grin
