I'm learning towards yes he was hacked.

In the video, he exposed way more information about the PMs that was necessary, including PMs that have nothing to do with the situation. And taking time to highlight lines of text that are clearly visible anyway? Lingering on points that really only mattered to the troll(s)?

Another thing that makes me think he was hacked is this:



BitcoinGirl.club quite often uses these non-forum smileys... I think they are BBcode smileys. On some browsers they show up fine and on others they show up as gibberish. Since we are looking at a video that was supposedly taken from BitcoinGirl.club's computer, why can't he see his own smileys?

So the next question is, who is side-chain, and how did he get BitcoinGirl's password?
