1. Was the password changed?
Good question. Let’s see:

Earliest archive that I can find in a hurry:
https://web.archive.org/web/20190704162438/https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1622642.0In July of 2017, when the account sale offer thread had apparently not been bumped for almost nine months, nutildah suddenly issued this denial:
But it would be worth even less once someone tags the account as being sold.
You should of sold using a dummy account first to avoid this from happening.
They don't call him
nutildah for
nuttin' ;)
Maybe he didn't do any buying or selling or trading with this account so it doesn't matter so much.
You're right, I didn't, and for everybody's future reference the account is no longer for sale. I've decided to keep it.
It is still more than a year prior to the weird string of password changes. That does not necessarily mean that the account was not sold prior to that post—and it obviously doesn’t prove that the person who originally offered the account for sale didn’t simply change his mind again. I am hereby simply stating facts; I will decline to state here whatever inferences I may draw from this timeline.
OP, if you want to pursue this, I suggest that you look for any circumstantial evidence indicating
when the account may have been sold. Establishing a timeline is important.
I have some other suspicions about the nutildah account, but I am not ready to discuss those publicly. nutildah has a nasty habit of editing or deleting posts to cover his tracks; and I don’t want to give even the slightest hint of what type of thing he should look to scrub. I am pressed for time lately; and forum DT-related investigations are quite low on my priority list.
If you sift nutildah’s post history for leads, I suggest that you should avoid saying anything publicly, and avoid sharing information with anyone who may warn nutildah, until you have built a solid case with archives of everything that you could potentially need. That’s not covering anything up; to the contrary, it is how police detectives handle investigations.
If the nutildah account really was sold, such an approach would be far more effective than repeated threads restating information that most Reputation regulars already know. For better or for worse, many people seem to accept nutildah’s explanation that he “decided to keep” the account.
