Would you help by deleting any e-mail adresses from his account or even escrow the (small) BTC amount? )
No.
Basically they allow it, but don't support it. You should make sure to buy only accounts from trusted sellers and use escrow if needed. FYI CardShark659 is pretty trusted in the btc poker community IMO (yet I almost never vouch for anyone, just fyi Tongue)
And for at least 30 days from the buy, your new account can be considered as joint ownership. So if the player who sold the account, is playing on a new account, and you are both playing at the same time, it could be considered as violation of the rules. As far as I know that _never_ happened yet, but in theory it means that you could get a problem with it. You can find more about that specific situation here:
http://grindabit.com/index.php/topic,693.0.htmlIt is btw pretty common to trade accounts at seals. Real problems occur almost never (except for some scammers trying to sell accounts they don't have etc.) Most people are not even aware of this "joint ownership rule", but I figured I would share anyway Wink
