That sounds like your pal is about to be scammed.
They do charge to register from a blacklisted ip but it's nothing like that much as far as i know.
And why would bitcointalk be talking through facebook.
The mods are carefully selected. All sounds very fishy.
Topic: 0.25BTC for unblocking btctalk account - page 2. (Read 2216 times)
Can u please show the screenshot of the all the conversation that you had with them because i dont think that they would need such an amount just to unban an account. Also do u remember the username of that account so that i can look and see why you was banned.But if that wasn't much useful then i would suggest you use this new account now.
Please move your thread to this bored

I don't think they're charging to withdraw ban your account.It will permanent banned or will withdraw ban automatically after few days.
What the message showing in your account?

You don't need to pay for an account to get unbanned. It depends on the moderator if you get the account back or not. Might want to tell us which is the account you are referring to? It's hard to guess what the problem might be.
Why are they then trying to charge me 0.25BTC for unbanning?
The fee was lowered to 0.1BTC because he's from Finnland, I could say that this is ridiculous.

Hello,
My friend got banned from bitcointalk.org for about a year ago and he had only browsed and read the forum for over a month before the ban.
He did not get any reason for the ban.
He sent mail to a e-mailadress that was mentioned when he tried to get he's account unlocked. Did not receive a reply
Here is a conversation that he has had with bitcointalk on facebook

Hello, it says on bitcointalk.org that I have gotten banned. I was on my vacation and logged in quite rarely during that time and did not do anything else than read posts. How is it possible that I get banned for no reason? And no answers from the mail adress is says that I should mail to

We have recently unemployed a number of moderators who were randomly banning certain people as an attack on the forum. Now we can recover the account if it is still of any use to you...

Is bitcointalk really charging 0.25BTC for unlocking account! That's approx $140 according to today's exchange ratio!
