Well, just playing devil's advocate here, he may have meant security in another context and not necessarily security of the wallet/address itself.  By that I mean it might be an address he no longer wants to have anything to do with for whatever reason, i.e., he wouldn't want to be caught with the keys to it...again, for whatever reason.

I think the negative trust Jannn got is valid, even if it's harsh.  Those kinds of tags are exactly what Vod would leave to warn the community of a potential scammer.  It's absolutely true that an account waking up after a long period of time and immediately asking for an unsecured loan is sketchy, and if you can't sign a message from an address you staked on the forum?  Double sketchy IMO.
