Wow this thread just reminded me, what ever happened to Phinnaeus? Did he say wether he was gOing out did he just vanIsh one day?
He needed a loan from BurtW and used his account as collateral. From the looks of it he has not yet repaid the loan and I would not be entirely surprised if the account has since been sold

How much did he get for the account?
IIRC it was a 2.5 BTC "loan"

It does not appear the loan has been repaid as the account has still not logged in for several months. I would assume at this point that the loan is in default. The account also has much less positive trust then it previously did (I believe it has a lot more previously).

Bruno needed two and a half Bitcoins so bad he hocked his account? I find that really hard to believe. He had thousands of btc at one point and multiple ASIC miners.
Well he was so reckless with his money that he gave away 100k to TBF only ~6 months ago. He has not logged in for several months and is posting under a new name which is generally accepted to be him.

In theory the loan could have been for more, however I hear a rumor that he had posted that he needed 2.5 BTC, then shorter after this Burt had given him positive trust that says he risked 2.5 BTC. I think it is somewhat speculation and somewhat hearsay but I am pretty sure this is what happened.

Wow, that's crazy! I'm going to have to call him as find out what's up.
