What happened:: Both lenny_ and HotSwap are wearing signatures promoting the likely scam sites CoinMixer.net and DarkLaunder.com. Adoring to below evidence, both of these sites are most likely owned by serial scammer moriartybitcoin who owns a large number of scam sites.
Scammers Profile Link: See below:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=60727 - lenny_
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=67018 - HotSwap
Amount Scammed: 0 so far, however moriartybitcoin has scammed tens of thousands of dollars from his previous scams
Additional Notes: This thread shows that HotSwap was buying a highly Legendary trusted account with ~1,000 posts. I was given a tip that the account is lenny_, along with the below proof that lenny_ was the account being sold in this thread.

My post from June 2013:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=18313.msg2583764#msg2583764is showing my address there in code lines:
1Lenny8KpVhqKvxwQFdYh7UZ6LFF4atY6z
Below, plain text which I will sign:
This is signed message using my address 1Lenny8KpVhqKvxwQFdYh7UZ6LFF4atY6z. Today is 20/08/2015 and this signature is only for selling account purpose. Account name is lenny_ (on Bitcointalk.org).
Signature: HC46GrpzzBnChzCUkr5g1hBBnzrtBdH0i6otyTiQnbvBTgqgsLCF5PtipxugcrkXIp6UqP26WmnvRPe yImjenZQ=
The archive of the above post where this person posted their address is
here (reply# 5879).
These two accounts being owned by the same person is further strengthened by the fact that they are both wearing the same signature, both advertising the same (likely) scam sites.
The
archive of HotSwap matches the
archive of lenny_ as far as the signatures are concerned, and the
archive of HotSwap shows the same signature.
A known site of moriartybitcoin, bitplastic.com, has almost the exact same
sign up form as the
signup form of darklaunder.com
Additionally, the
Archive of the FAQ of coinmixer.net says that the coins are completely untraceable, which is not true and it shows a "copyright" year of 2013 (as do all of its other pages), even though the whois shows the domain was registered just a few months ago
