Not entirely sure that was meant to be posted from that account.

If you check the trust summary, there is a user called "MalReynolds2" who suggested that the account had been stolen. Not entirely sure if that's valid or not though.

If you see the post history from MalReynolds2, it seems like he's the previous owner. MalReynolds account has a huge gap on his post, highly possible that is was indeed hacked.

Glad you reported it OP, as it's a likely compromised account that stayed under the radar for to long

The odds are this account was compromised, because no one with half a brain is going to advertise the actual account, seeing as it will be tagged in red and rendered nearly useless to anyone buying. Wonder if it was hacked twice because it apparently changed hands almost a year ago. If it's still the second owner I change it to no brain, because in that time they should have realized it would be neg'd; glad they didn't.

It's nice that Malreynolds2(likely owner) tagged the account but they should have also made a post in reputation or brought it to the attention of a DT member. It's tagged now at least so that's a bonus.

If the story is true, I feel bad for the original OP. I'm assuming there would have been away from him to prove original ownership.
