I've heard many people saying that "he is holding many other people's BTC in escrow", but I haven't heard anyone specifically say that he is holding their bitcoins. Is there a reliable source of information about which escrows he is still holding?
According to these 2 threads (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=516308.0 and https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=223474.0), John K has been holding 100.02 btc in escrow (Address: 1P85degUsQBSi3MDjQ7EwkG6mo9EA9pt6c).
Both of those are the raffle money. I'm sure somebody mentioned another escrow somewhere.
It's a shame. I've used him once for escrow in the past and it was slow and he never lived up to his end (but did send the funds after a delay). One side of me wants to think that he wouldn't scam (being so involved in blockchain), but the other half of me realizes that a large percentage of early adopters are scammers.
What's more puzzling / a bigger mystery is why would he return the 1000 forum coins but not these 100. It doesn't make sense.
Does he have any other money still held in escrows?
yes he still is holding money for this group buy https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=177994.0 (check last few pages)
There's this group buy apparently.
