And this is mostly speculation but I wasn't arround at the time: did QS escrow this deal because he didn't want his alt to become known? AKA the main reason to do this was to secure his account farming at the time? Or did he knowingly suggest himself as an escrow to mislead the other party in pretending they are different people?
I had stopped farming accounts earlier that year, and have not farmed accounts since then.
The purpose was to protect my IRL identity. Panthers52 was originally intended to be farmed when I created it, however it turned into an account I used to chat. I never took any steps to increase trust positive trust ratings on accounts I sold, although I did receive one DT positive trust rating because I pointed out a scam.
