This account suddenly started posting today, but they are short, useless posts. Almost seems like a different person. Maybe he sold the account? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=67058;sa=showPosts

Yeah I've noticed, doesn't seem like the same guy. Looks like he's just trolling or trying to stir up drama.
Also weird it's at the same time as the cleanup in the NeoBee thread, wonder if he's related to it somehow.

Either way it's traumatic for victims. Freeze the account.

I am wondering the same, this does not look like the same guy at all. The answers are more "bitpop" style than what TF used to blurt out before.
Maybe there is a way to force-reset his password, so whoever runs the account now looses access and the real TF (if he dares to) can get the account back? OTOH maybe he was desperate and just sold the account somewhere?

Probably for plausible deniability. "Oh even my forum account was hacked, no telling when that happened." Would explain why he just logged on, made a few posts to get noticed, then just logged off.

Very true, his posts were meant for quick attention and now he's back to his vacation.

Here's a random question - if the user is actively logging on, why don't the admins work with law enforcement to track him (or his proxy)? I have no involvement in this, but surely any bit of information helps?

I don't think the mods want to set a precedent like that, or it would lead to a lot of extra work. There are many many many scammers.

Even clever people make mistakes once in a while. I don't know, I guess the victims are more inclined to do everything possible then bystanders. Just think, an IP linking to a physical address linking back to him might be sitting in the logs, waiting for someone to give chance a chance. Or not.

Ran coinlenders a giant lending service for Bitcoins then had a significant stake in inputs.io a service which was a Bitcoinwallet that allowed transactions to occur immediately and instantly from your account to a Bitcoinwallet, then ran a sig campaign for inputs where you got 2x the Bitcoin a month for using their wallet. Simply put inputs claimed a hack and took a large amount of bitcoin and coinlenders defaulted so it was almost Pirate in style

Ask the forum administrator, the person which supported the biggest frauds perpetrated in this forum.

I'd guess he sold it or lost it.
(I'm one of the people that thinks he had really been hacked)
The fact that he almost solely speaks on Neo & Bee does not sound like something he would do... ( I really don't think he would log in again )

No longer active on bitcointalk, however, you can still reach me via PMs if needed.
