Hold it now. You mean you sold all of your reputation for 1BTC? You could easily have asked for a loan and then repaid later  Undecided
The timing isn't quite right. You sold it in August and the other person paid you in September? You do have lots of trust to the other person. Additionally, if it was paid at that time, the account should have a password change somewhere around there. I checked the seclog in September 12 archive and October 13 archive and none had a password change on your account. It's a bit limited however, we can just asked theymos for the clarification.

There is a tx in August I can't find atm.

- He paid me up front about 50% of the agreed price.
- I provided the account access. He explained his leverage on me was that if I were to revoke or scam him at any point he will just reveal I tried to sell my account, thus destroying the account for both of us. Keybase and my gmail account is also given to him.
- He does not change the password because he does not want anyone to know the account was sold, so he changes it later.
- We agree the second half of the payment would come after about a month once he feels everything is all right and settled in.

Everything was done elaborately to help prevent the discovery of the account's transfer in ownership. During the whole time I assume he had good intentions to continue my service because I definitely didn't have time to partake in this community any longer.

Again, believe what you will. I just thought it was better for me to say something than to ignore this completely after it was brought to my attention by someone on steam.

there is a separate tx, i sold the account for about 2 btc which was a great deal for me at the time. I don't believe in borrowing, especially not from this community. I never ventured into those lending sections.

I knew the risks when I sold the account but at the time my life was at a more dire situation so I didn't take much time to think. He was also very convincing in telling me he wanted to continue the escrow service using my identity and reputation, and that he had no intentions of scamming. Without knowing his actual/original account on bitcointalk, I knew I couldn't trust his word here for sure but I guess I took the risk anyway. When I sold the account I was only holding about 5-6 BTC in total in escrow.

Sorry guys, I wish I could do more but I don't even come on here anymore nowadays. Some people here still have me on steam. I did some deals where the new owner of the account forwarded to me simply to keep the persona without it having it figured out by the community that the account was sold.

A big part of the deal was that I did my best to keep the sale private, much like any of my other account escrows I've performed for the community in the past. I thought that was fair so kept my mouth shut and played along.

Sure, I suppose people here can blame me, believe me or not believe me, at this point I can't do much. I knew showing up here would probably only make things worse for myself but I can't really care too much right now. Think and believe what you will. My apologies again everyone, I won't be back.

Best case scenario the guy comes back and returns all the BTC, right? Based on what I've gathered reading this thread the coins don't seem to have been spent, yet.

Hey bitcointalk, this is the "original" or previous owner of master-P account on these forums.

I had sold the account to an anonymous offer in August 2015. Along with my forum account, the keybase account "masterp" was also sold as the buyer wanted to continue to assume my identity and provide escrow.

The private keys to the wallets I used for escrow were also included in the sale so the new owner could continue providing escrow as I already had some transactions/campaigns taking place.

I am signing this message from an address I used to stake back in March, before I sold the account and was not included in the sale since the buyer would have no real use for it.

The address is 16Ag7a28TfKwUQiUKcQuvTxATJM5khmX5p

I don't think I can really do much to help, but just wanted to post this here since someone on my steam friend list informed me of this situation. I don't necessarily partake on these forums anymore, and don't intend to continue.

I apologize for selling my account, in hindsight I see how selfish of an act it was. But I was at an all time low and I didn't exactly have much time to keep participating and help escrow for these forums anymore. The amount of money I was offered for my "bitcointalk identity" was enough to help get me through a couple of really rough months.
