Mh. I don't know about you guys, but this is kind of a sad situation, because it is true that he could be lying and this is indeed a case of a purchased account. On the other hand, I can easily see a sibling gifting an account to someone within the family, specially if that person needs a lil source of income.
Sure, a sibling that only speaks Indonesian gifting an account to someone who speaks Naira.
We'd better add magic elves and aliens to the story to make it more believable.
I've been on forums for a long time and this kind of unbelievable stories only come to the forefront when someone is caught red-handed. You won't see the opposite, that is, you won't see someone enter the top ten of earned merit for the first time and thank his Indonesian brother for gifted the account for him who is in Nigeria.
Is the account on DT? Nope. Does the account have any reputation at all? Nope. Who is he harming? Not 1 single person.
Bottom line, he is dishonest by not making the account for himself. I agree 100% but I also think this is no different than people who sold accounts in the past and have not been tagged. This is something that happened awhile back and probably just needs a neutral tag IMO and for everyone to ~ the account so they can never make DT. Account buying and selling is not illegal, just frowned upon. My personal opinion is red tags should only be given when reputable accounts are found to have changed hands.

I completely disagree with what is in bold. A crime should be judged independently of who commits it. And I don't know what sold account not tagged you are talking about. I have seen many red tagged for being bought or trying to sell them.
That said, I partly share the sentiment you and Hispo have, because this guy is not someone who has swindled half the forum out of tens of thousands of dollars, he is someone who lives in a poor country and is trying to make a living. But there are many people on the forum in poor countries and they don't take the illegitimate fast track.
But at the end of the day, as I said before, maybe he's lucky and his manager keeps him in the campaign. Surely you would accept him in your campaigns if you were managing one, yahoo62278. Maybe other managers as well. Red tags make it more difficult, but not impossible to join campaigns.
Right, Again I also mentioned that there is a chance is not true. What he has said is not impossible to happen (that is also important when someone lies, they need to come up with something not impossible so they could have a chance to successfully deceive others).
Besides of his story on how he allegly got control over that account, the fact he could be also the same person behind a banned account which could have had promoted 1xbit (in my opinion) may be the final nail on the coffin for his reputation.
Since some of the red tags still mention those details, I assume he was not yet disprove those links.
In the end, if more negative evidence comes to light, I may exclude him from my network, not sure if neutral-tag him, since I am not part of DT, so my feedback has no meaningful meaning.
