After reading
the last post from the Pharmacist on the "
Arcas -- bought account?" thread, I tought: Well, I do indeed have shitload time to waste, so why don't I do a quick check on some random profiles I come accross and if something seems off, I may dig a bit deeper to see if there's something there? And earlier than expected, I already have my first candidate

Thanasis. I found this profile rather randomly, as he replied to the 777 signature campaign with one of those asslicking "thank you for accepting me sir" post. Side note; I'm not saying that thanking the campaign manager is a bad thing; but there are ways of doing it; I don't want to sound ungrateful. After a couple of things that raised some minor flags, I found the following:
Hypothesis:This account was most likely hacked and then sold during the months of September/October 2017. From the post history, there's no reason or indication that leads me to believe that the user sold the account willingly; but that's pure speculation.
-BPIP doesn't show any password/email change at that time, but I'm not sure how far back the records go (@suchmoon I'd appreciate a little clarification there; altough I'll try to find that as soon as I finish this thread).
The user before October 2017- This user did most of his posting in a thread he himself had created, called Thanasis Collection Pack there, he sold some bots he had programmed and used to answer to doubts that arose on the thread.
- Spoke in a native or at least really good english
- There's no signature campaign application or a single post made on the service board
- 2 Bitcoin addresses mentioned in the bot selling thread: 3NMF6K93oFEzkN74gfHbPkyDs26mL4hbHa and 13j4F6LmXsb3mth3DZMpe3QmpyXtWKKoP1
The user after October 2017 (included)- Starts posting on spam boards
- Never replies to his bot selling thread again
- English turns form good to broken
- Starts applying to signature campaigns
- Starts posting with "sir" in the sentences
As with the other thread; most of this content, call it proof or evidence if you want to, is highly subjective. A user changing posting habits or changin the way they talk is not a flag per se, and it's something that can happen organically. But when you look paying a bit of attention to some things, do stand up.
If anyone feels like checking; the posting changes happen on post 2470; post history page 124.
I will not jump into conclusions too fast and start tagging accounts because my gut is telling me they are using a sold/hacked account; but this is a forum, and after some discussion, and if the account involved doesn't come forward, it will most likely be the right thing to do.
