He became obligated the second he said he would pay. Also, how do we know he got hacked? Just because he says so? It is true that I should have used an escrow. The only reason I didnt was because of his account age and post history.
Please go back to trolling other posts or back under your bridge. Or as you so eloquently put it fuck off
Since you were dealing with an unknown 3rd party using a hacked account, sure 'he' is obligated to pay - but he won't. That's why the account was hacked, your 3rd person doesn't plan to pay. You're expecting someone who had nothing to do with the theft to just send you what you lost because it was their account that was used - and that's just not how it works in the real world.
Stop whining, learn your lesson and move on. Nobody is 'obligated' to do anything in this matter, absolutely nothing.
