Dabs #54791 is a habituated PM-beggar, doing public charity and escrow.

User: Dabs #54791 (trust)
These are excerpts of Personal Messages that I received from a user who has made a career of running allegedly charitable collections, and who runs an escrow business:
Atop the begging, Dabs is outright lying. This is an excerpt that of a beg-PM that, upon information and belief, Dabs sent an awful lot less than “30 to 40 years” before February of 2020:
Hey there, hello fellow Wall Observer thread poster ...
How significant is it for you?
For me, I've lost everything since last year, but somehow managing to survive ... it's not easy.
I am hoping against hope that maybe perhaps you'd like to help those less fortunate than you.
Dabs
P.S. I don't know if you've read my little story here the past few months.
More recently, Dabs had someone publicly begging on his behalf in the Wall Observer:

Following OP, this thread shall begin with the following posts:
In February of 2020, I debated whether or not I should immediately publish these PMs. I was reluctant to do it. I decided that I didn’t want to ruin Dabs’ reputation over what may be a one-off, grossly uncharacteristic, ridiculously weak moment. I felt soft-hearted. That is always a mistake.
After Dabs’ other known begging came to my attention, I awoke my account on 2022-06-29 primarily because I could not in conscience let this matter rest. (I waited until 2022-06-29, the beginning of a new activity period, because I wanted to go back to sleep without raising my activity by more than 14.) I have still procrastinated on dealing with it. I cannot put it off anymore: Every day, people are trusting Dabs for both charitable and business purposes without being informed about his sneaky begging on his own behalf.
I encourage anyone else who has received any Dabs begging PMs to post them in this thread. Same as for any other relevant evidence. The community has a right to know about this.
Don’t think of Dabs: Think of the poor, starving children on whose behalf he purports to collect charitable donations. The community, and Dabs’ donors, should have such information available to analyze and to draw the appropriate conclusions.
Rarely would I ever encourage a big dump of PMs. In this case, I believe that it is not only justified, but imperative—an ethical necessity. As a separate issue, I should remind everyone upfront that there is no forum rule against publishing PMs; you will not get in trouble with forum rules for coming forward to inform the public here.

Done! Okay, that will be 10 bitcoins.
Cheers!
Just kidding, LOL, but .... since you PM'd me already, short of begging, perhaps you can send some financial assistance my way?
But i'm not really, I already have a job and trying to get in on another campaign as the last one just died on me, and there are just so many bills to pay, and I lost 95% (maybe more) of my coins (they were in alts, so yeah, everything crashed huh.)

That gets harder if you got a wife and three children you have to take care of, moved to different country, and have no other social support. Anyway... we'll figure it out.
I don't usually beg either, haven't had to in 30 to 40 years, so ... but if times are dire, ...

My stack is significant... but won't let me buy a ship like that .... yet

You could donate it to Dabs if you don't want it. As he told me, he is in an uncomfortable financial situation and could use any and all help. Maybe WO should help him out?

Following OP, this thread shall begin with the following posts:
- Post #2: My full, unedited PM exchange with Dabs in February 2020.
- Post #3: Full quotes of the most relevant public form posts from 2022, which are briefly excerpted above.
- Post #4: Reserved to gather any further evidence that may arise.
- Post #5: Reserved for my conclusions. Blank for now; I want to see what other evidence may develop, before taking any trust system action.

Re: Publicly posting PMs
There is no restriction against it. PM = Personal Message, not Private Message.
