I mean, it doesn't seem like he's been doing anything towards scamming. Usually they would try and get an escrow job, etc etc. So far he hasn't seemed to take a step towards scamming, but more one towards earning a trusted name on the forum. I do agree however that the sudden change in post quality is the worrying thing. A post gap of one month can't really be put forward as incriminating evidence.

Looking the grammar change, as well as the posting gaps between late 2016 and mid 2017 it does look like that it is either a bought or hacked account. I wonder if we can find a confirmed password/email change in the seclog. I'll try finding that *archived* variant. If he outright ignores or refuses to provide a signed message without a decent reason, then his account is ripe for tagging in my eyes.

This is the reply i got from him, did not get any reply before making this thread:

To me it looks suspicious as well, i do not think that for a long time bitcointalk member, it would be possible to lose the addresses he used to sign messages with in the past.

"Bought a new wallet"? Cheesy

What a lame excuse (as in who "buys" a Bitcoin wallet other than hardware wallet, which I'm sure is not what he meant). I'm almost 99% convinced that the user in question has bought their account.

Has hashpower done anything questionable recently?

Read the OP again and you'll understand.

I'm not a long time member, but I'm definitely not a new one. I had an account on blockchain.info which had all my old private keys, but when I changed laptops, it didn't save my wallet ID and my written recovery slip was hidden somewhere (I still haven't managed to find it).

Has ~~hashpower~~ (EDIT - hashforce, sorry) done anything questionable recently? Or is he escrowing any funds?

What's with the recent influx of people buying accounts, and trying to become campaign managers? Wasn't there another guy called wizardee trying to pull off the same thing?

And the user Windpower.

Nobody with a bought account should even be allowed to be campaign managers, in my opinion. If they were accepted as campaign managers, then think about what could happen. He could literally let all other account farmers enroll and don't give a crap, or even potentially allow his alts to enroll and post with terrible quality. I think that they deserve to get tagged.

The response that you got was complete BS and further proves that he is a bought account.

I stepped lately to hashforce 101, whom started offering project managing services lately.
I tried reaching him out yesterday about this matter, but he has not answered to me at all even though he has been online many times. I requested him for signed message politely, but never got answer.
If you check the posts between july and august, you can see that the grammar has changed alot in few days.
About the grammar, if you check the posts after august, and then you check the posts before july, you can see that the grammar has went from many typos into almost a fluent grammar, which i find very suspicious.
And after the change of grammar, almost instantly he started to offer campaign management services, which i find kind of odd.
