Background:

Sale666-2 recently started a thread to get their old account back which they claim was hacked. Getting my old account back

I noticed that the old account was last active the same day Sale666-2 started their first thread to recover that account almost two years ago to the day.

Hello someone has stolen my account

lovesmayfamilis then noticed that the five UID's that gave cerunnos merit (of which sale666 was one) all did so in a short window on the 9th of April 2018 for a thread post the 5th of December 2017.

Sending merit in one day from 5 accounts to the old message. to account 2017

...
My opinion is that sale666 was hacked, but for some reason, I am more inclined that this account is linked to a seller profile

In that thread I then notice various connections such as password change date/time etc:

Two of the UID's that gave cerunnos merits changed their passwords in a 24 hour period:

Another merit giver and the merit recipient both changed their passwords in ~ 36 hour window:
