I'm not going to do it regularly, but I'll make an exception here and give VIP status & a custom title to Phinnaeus Gage and Gleb Gamow. However, I know that these accounts changed hands in the past, and maybe arrangements have been for this to happen again in the future; therefore, if either account ever posts in the future, I will remove this stuff from the account.

Wouldn't surprise me at all if his accounts re-activated again at some point.

I'm not a prophet. I'm an arsehole remember:

Since the funds moved on the 24th from his donation address I think it's either he never posted the donation address in the first place and it was whoever had hold of his account or his family figured out how to access his funds. I'd go with the former really.

It appears that the account has resurfaced and began posting. Haven't seen evidence yet that it truly is the original owner - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5251074.0

Edit: His alleged proof - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5251074.msg54500907#msg54500907

He posted a picture dated from 2019 as "proof".

I think someone probably has his phone. Or maybe, he had sent some pictures in his outbox.

The most likely scenario is he sold or gave his account to someone. Or it was hacked, but the timing seems a bit suspicious. The donation address thread he posted was likely done by the same person given the funds moved a couple of days ago. Seems far too much of a coincidence to me. He used the same sort of old photos before for the donation thread. Bruno probably sent a few pictures privately to people to prove he was in the hospital, maybe to solicit donations himself. One of those people could have then used the pictures for a scam. Maybe he tried to sell the account as he did before, or someone made him an offer for it. Someone finding his phone and then posting on a forum seems incredibly unlikely.

I vote that the Phinnaeus Gage account should be locked, just like the Hal Finney account when it was hacked, to prevent it from being abused. What do you guys think?

If it's 100% verified he's died then it probably should.
