What happened to Muhammed Zakir ?

[RappelzReborn]

He was really active member on the forums and one of the most helpful members too and now I don't see him anymore and it seems like he didn't connect since December , and he also got negative trust ? how come ? Did he got hacked or something? He is not even connecting to Skype anymore , kinda weird .

[Avirunes]

Don't know but he is offline since he scammed that 0.25BTC in Nov/Dec 2015 .

[guitarplinker]

He stole 0.16 BTC by defaulting on a loan with chronicsky back in September. Someone claimed a month or so ago that MZ would be back soon to pay the loan, but he hasn't been back.

[--Encrypted--]

who knows.. probably something happened and he decided or was forced to retire from bitcointalk.
he got a good trust/rep and decent amount of btc so I kinda doubt he planned to scam.

btw his last loan repayment of .16 never moved from his address (from ranochigo. Oct. 6th).

We dont know, I have read some rumours that there was a flood that he might have been affected by, but someone else said that it was in a different place. He does not answer on twitter nor is he active there.

Flood is not rumour. During this december, some parts of tamil nadu in india were affected by heavy flood. But seems MZ belongs to kerala side, there is no flood on kerala AFAIK.

Otherwise he might be busy with some other work and forgotted about the loan (the link mentioned above) brcause IMO, he'll not scam for this small amount?

Yes, I probably wrote that a bit more complicated that it needed to be.

I doubt he just forgot, I dont think he is the kind of person that just forgets their duty. On the other hand I only know them from here, so I might very well be wrong about this. Until the loan is repaid their reputation however is ruined.

[Blazed]

Seems unlikely he would scam for that amount. MZ was pretty active here which makes me think something happened to him. I am sure at some point if he is alright he will return with an interesting story for us.

[Quickseller]

I would say more likely then not something happened to him.

I find it unusual that someone would go from being as active as he was to not even accessing his account at all, and I find it unusual that he would default on such a small loan, (even though he has not been trusted with large amounts in the past) and most unusual is that there is the exact amount that he borrowed unspent in his vanity address located in his profile.

[The Sceptical Chymist]

I don't think he'd forget about a loan either, because he was a big lender around here before he disappeared.  That member gkv9 was defending him up and down a while back then stopped, and I thought he said he knew MZ personally.

As an aside, I responded in gkv9's recent lending thread (he's late on a loan) and was thinking of MZ and started a thread a few minutes ago myself about this.  I didn't even realize OP had done the same.  Weird coincidence.

Hope he comes back, because flood or not it does seem like something happened.

Why weird coincidence? Do you think they are the same person?  Or what?

No, the coincidence is that I'd started a thread on the very same topic (wondering where MZ went to and if there were any updates) on the same day.  It wasn't intentional, I just didn't see there already was one or didn't look.  I locked up my thread after this was brought to my attention.

[RappelzReborn]

It seems like there is some updates : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1277728.msg13163090#msg13163090 (It says updated but not sure where is the updated part honestly , I assume it's the "EDIT" on the OP.)

Here is the update Chronisky made:

EDIT : I have myself been quite busy and forgot to update that i had received a messaged from MZ around before 25th December stating that he is busy with life and would repay me soon.
Though i have tried calling him several times after that to see only that his number is off.....

Hope he returns soon...

Thanks everyone for help, appreciate it!!!

Meanwhile I do not think he will come back soon.
Lets hope for the best though.

Yeah, he heard from MZ in December, but we're in February.  MZ is still missing in action with funds.  Hopefully nothing serious has happened to him but this isn't much of an update.

Maybe something bad happened to him IRL?
I don't want to speculate like this but it seems this is the worst case scenario for now
Because i don't think a trusted member like MZ will scam a little coins for his sake of reputation 
Though, all we can do is wait and hopefully he will back someday bringing us an update to why he was gone

[--Encrypted--]

he's online.

just in case anyone may wonder how I found that so fast. I found that while looking for a user posted here on who's online list.

Yes. He was online for nearly 4 hours but did not show any activity yet.
Maybe he was trying to get in par with whats going on while he was away for a long time.

Also the incident of escrow.ms might be a shocker for him if he did not knew the news before.

And how does it relate to his problems?

[erikalui]

MZ appears away on Skype and last I spoke to him on 29th August after which he never replied to my escrow requests. I hope he comes back as I don't have any trusted escrow to use these days. His reputation too has gone negative as he defaulted on a loan.
