Initial version of post: https://archive.ph/DT9U4#selection-3665.0-3847.91More recently, Dabs had someone publicly begging on his behalf in the Wall Observer:

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?
I
DID NOT "beg on his behalf". I truely thought he was in sincere trouble. And never having known Dabs (a veteran WO'er with nothing but green trust) to be a habitual begger, I felt empathy for him so I thought WO should know of the troubles of a fellower long term WO'er. And as someone in the thread said they had tainted BTC that they did not wish to hodl, trade or sell, I proposed it go towards him. I did not go out of my way to ask for people to dig into their savings.
I would ask you to stop your disgusting insinuations that he had engaged me to beg for him.
Instead of accusing the accuser and trying to shoot the messenger, I advise that you should apologize to
death_wish for how you essentially called him a liar. And if you would have acted differently had you known of Dabs’ past begging, then your anger would be more appropriately directed at him, not at me. Rather, you should thank me for coming forward with something I was reluctant to touch for over two years.
The public posts, which are all archived, speak for themselves. And you spoke for yourself, when you called for “any and all help” for Dabs, and you asked that “WO should help him out”. I will not waste my time on your dishonest wordgames, when everyone can see exactly what you said.
I did not call him a liar. I asked him to provide evidence for his claim, since he made a heavy claim which was suited to damaging dab's clean trust reputation. instead of coming forth with the evidence, as I requested of him, Death_wish attempted to goad me (multiple times) into taking an unfair, premeditated Bitcoin bet with him over the matter. When I refused, he continued to troll me into taking the bet. Basically trying to scam me out of my coins.
Most people dislike his character as he is an annoying troll on the WO. Why you seem to be vouching for him, I have no idea. I am not going to tell you again. Stop smearing my good will and reputation.
