Purchased or hacked Hero account: Sled u=552262

[DireWolfM14]

Hero member Sled has some suspicious activity in account's history.  There was a 4.5 month-long gap in post activity from November 4, 2018 to March 24, 2019.  On March 23, 2019 the account's password was changed.  The posts before the gap had some coherency to them, at least ideas were adequately articulated.  After the gap; word salad.

The account posted a bitcoin address in the Stake thread on September 6, 2015, but strangely the user's post has since been deleted:

Earlier today the user requested a loan from Shasan.  Not a huge loan, certainly doesn't seem like an attempted exit scam, but none the less I figured it was worth warning folks to consider the possibility this may not be the original owner of this account.

I'm not certain the account changed hands based on the posting history--this guy is and always was a complete shitposter, and his newer posts look close enough to his old ones that I wouldn't feel comfortable tagging him.

Good eyes on this one, though.  You're probably right that something fishy is afoot.

This one seems like an exchange deposit address by the way it sends the deposited to only one address. Hence I am focussing only on addresses which deposited frequently and found out that this address deposited frequently: 0xdfa78392eb7373eceea89eafcad8ca1c7a98ebfd

Upon searching, it seems like this user was using the address: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1079518 (Altero)
