bL4nkcode was/is running an escrow service from long time on the forum. I have no idea about the trades he executed but the escrow failed for
Bitcointalk Charity Program.
this is interesting now. I don't want to defend anyone, but whether bL4nkcode violated escrow rules in this case?
There is no clear charge that he misused his service, I mean no complaints from funds "owners" (people involved in this charity group). apparently, he was spending money with the approval of cabalism.
Since escrow service is a very sensitive topic, the whole drama excludes him
bL4nkcode as a trustable user. I think there must be an impeccable reputation, also a user running his escrow service would have to show that he owns the same amount which he will hold as a third party. there is probably less possibility that he will use funds from escrow for grandfather's treatment (just example).
