The last address belongs to a hacker and related to other phishing addresses, you can read the comments on etherscan: https://etherscan.io/address/0x89474953d6bc8275b88e331fdf1a92d552563712#comments

I believe qiwoman2 has nothing to do with all of this and his ethereum address was hacked:

Once again while venturing out of my comfort zone sections, I went looking for posts in Bitcoin Discusion to merit and found another old account that was either bought or hacked. In this case, it's ShadowBits, registered on August 21, 2014. Notice how excellent his English was back in 2014. This is one of his earliest posts:

Honestly, I'm a Quebecois & recently also an American citizen. I'm moving back to FL because of personal reasons but I wouldn't mind doing PR for this coin. I love that people saved it from the scam it initially was. I love that the fork made the wallet nicer to use too. I can read/speak French, but I can't write it for shit, so I won't be writing at all in French. I can try by using a hybrid mix of Google translate and correcting for the obvious errors (many) it makes. I like the low difficulty as well and now that the scam is over, we have a coin we can believe in and know is honest. I won't be in Quebec for at least two years, so I can't do much locally, so we need help from residents. Do we know of any merchants who are in talks with devs (are devs still here?)? Is there a way of closing the original ANN since it contains misinformation such as "being listed on Bittrex Exchange", which we aren't anymore because of low trade volume. I was one of those who had to sell my coins as I saw the coin tumble. I have less than $100 in crypto, I can't such a hit at this early stage unfortunately. Either way, I'll now keep an eye out of this forum thread more if others are still active. I really like seeing people from all over the world (also provinces) finding interest in this country coin. Thank you all!

Then there was a gap between June 7, 2017 and July 20, 2017. The post that ended that gap was this one:

After that, his post went from excellent English ones to typical bounty shitposting nonsense like the following:

when you say banned in my country
it means i wont be able to do any access right?
its not that i dont want to use it but how if its not allowed. if it happens that would be very sad and dissappointing in my part

*Note: this is not something a self-admitted Canadian and American citizen would write.*

...and that post quality continues to the present. It seems obvious to me that the account changed hands in 2017. I did check bpip to see if there was any password/e-mail change, but I'm not sure if that info shows up on a member's profile page or not. In any case, there's no doubt in my mind this account was hacked or sold, so I'm tagging it. Any input from the community that's constructive would be appreciated.

Self-moderated thread to keep the trolls out.
