Did TF log back in and change his username?  What happened?

He probably sold his account to some attention seeking troll.

I thought he severed all links to his account, alias, and the bitcoin community after the inputs hack.

I thought trolling was against the rules? Why not ban his account?

Someone must have paid good for that "VIP" account.

I think the account was hacked rather than sold. Who would want to buy an account with that much negative rep? No one will take his comments seriously, he can only use it to spam and troll... and that's what he is doing now.

Attention seekers don't care about what attention it is as long as it's there

Haha, true.  Though why "free hugs"?

But he's allowed to change his name to anything, isn't he?  ;)

who says the bitcoins are gone? i'm pretty sure he orchestrated the whole thing. typical web wallet scam. then just slink off into the darkness and let people forget -- because when has the BTC community ever bothered rooting out scammers and thieves? never....

Not exactly anything. If he changes his name to impersonate theymos, he may get banned. ;)

Buddy, if those were the rules, I should've been banned in May.

I'm pretty sure he will get banned. Didn't this happen before? I would assume someone would just slap on 'Theymos' and act like the real one.

Congrats. You just answered your own question.

No it is just rules for selected people...

I didn't ask that, I was specific about TF.
What are you talking about? 'Free hugs! ♥' = impersonating theymos? Okay.

I am very sure that TradeFortress didn't sell his bitcointalk account.

I didn't say that he is impersonating theymos.
I was saying he is not allowed to change his name to whatever he want, and gave one possible example.

And then to think I got all my coins of that shit site the day before it happened, and why is this guy not arrested? I've seen media reports of him interviewed so they know who he is... Hmm
