I believe after TECSHARE intervention there is no need for more discussion:

I called the Boersma Funeral Home, and the person who answered confirmed that he knew Bruno, and he had passed. I just thought people would like to know so we can end the speculation about Bruno himself.

There is enough evidence that the account is controlled by another person claiming to be Bruno ("dead") and until proven otherwise, i call for a permaban or a lock for all Bruno's accounts (except maybe Gleb which is controlled by suchmoon normally).
Can we lock the topic?

Why would that account be exempt from banning though? Why wouldn't whoever has access to his other accounts now be allowed to keep them? Maybe someone bought his accounts like suchmoon did, but would that mean they're allowed to keep them until they do something bad with them? Banning/locking the accounts of the deceased is a complex issue but it doesn't look like we've got an official forum policy on it from theymos, but I don't think they should be locked on a whim.

I said that exception since Gleb is no longer related to Bruno from 2 years.
Buying accounts isn't prohibited in the forum, same goes for having it as collateral. Since Suchmoon is controlling that account, then it is his property and no longer Bruno's one.
For the other 3 accounts, that we are aware about, there is no sign that it changed hands hence it is the property of a deceased person, hacked in a way or another by a strange guy claiming to be a dead person. Such impersonation shouldn't be allowed (exactly like satoshi's account) and the accounts should be locked (or banned).
Now if a Bruno's close relative (inheritance?) wants to control the account or what we supposed to be a hacker claims he bought the account, then they should prove it (solid proof) and handling the account to them could be discussed.
