However, this is not enough proof (yet) to give anyone negative feedback for this.
(Possible) 2nd proof was presented in GazetaBitcoin's reply above. It reminds me of the case of red tagging who didn't respect the auction s/he was holding:

However, I respect (old)Ratimov as someone the admin has trusted to be a meirt source. Talking about justice... I think it should have a different space especially after the account is really controlled by someone new.
