I think that escrow should always check BPIP website for possible changes in accounts like password resets, and cancel/pause any trade if they notice anything suspicious.
It's not the first time accounts have been hacked in bitcointalk forum and using different account for deals like in this case is definitely something suspicious and worth checking out by escrow.
Unless you experience something wired like this happened, you have no idea that there was a way. I am sure MJ would check with possible everything if he had slight confusion that things could go fish. There was a term change which was meeting in person and that information came from the same account. So in a regular practice it was nothing to get alarmed. I do not think MJ has anything to do here. He has done his job.
Minerjones has a history of playing fast and lose with what he is willing to do for his own (potential) profit. He is
willing to auction off items on behalf of third parties without being in possession of said items, and does not take responsibility when he cannot deliver the items (no disclaimer is made that he is not the seller, that the auction is subject to any additional terms, or that he is not the one actually shipping the items).
Strange. Why are you bringing all this BS now? The scammer was always a few steps ahead in this particular case. MJ did what he does.
I am not protecting anyone, but I am also not comfortable to blame a party for a scam where someone took control of the contact person.
What probability we have for this kind of situation?
You decide to make a trade
You send coin to escrow
Your account get hacked
Someone else takes control of your account
Trade goes wrong
You get back your account
Blame goes to escrow.
