My account did not have the bitcoin address, but I did give the ethereum address.
The PM contained enough information for me to believe the account has changed hands one way or the other, and certainly the numerous posts that got edited around October of 2017 shows someone went back and changed all of the addresses.
The address you gave wasn't posted that long ago so I personally would find it hard to accept as proof that you are the
original owner, but at least the owner as of September 2017. Regardless, I certainly would not recommend anyone trusting the gallery2000 account at this point.
