You're wrong. Follow the blockchain.I'm not seeing anything out of the ordinary, care to expound?
Wonder if he'll return the 30,000 G.SDICE shares he "borrowed" (base value 191 BTC).

So why does Ian Bakewell get all his posts undeleted and Usagi didn't? Usagi had 10 times the number of threads about his fraud back then - there was no shortage of forum attention. Usagi also deleted his personal website making this forum the only place where the information was archived. I guess the belief that mods only care about the frauds where they were victims is true.
This has nothing to do with Usagi. This thread refers to Bakewell alone. If you want to start bitching, go make your own thread.
Sadly, I loaned him 60 BTC.

I don't believe Ian initially wanted to scam the coins, however after the ~5x rally he couldn't afford to pay back and just thought "fuck it", deleting all his posts and changed it to closed

At least cadaver washing like for instance Jared Kenna's would work a lot better then.
Who's that? It sounds like a porn name.CEO of Tradehill (a former Bitcoin exchange that was forced to shut down after losing $100K).

Probably wants to ensure no one wants to meet him in person
I'd agree with that. His identity's too well known and the amount too large for him to just vanish - would assume one or more of the larger debtors will either take matters into their own hands (unlikely unless they're Canadian), go to the police (it's a large enough amount to get an investigation going - and I expect the forum would undelete some of his posts if necessary) or start negative publicity (website in his name so any Google of him finds it, contacting anyone likely to know him etc).
There's not really any evidence that past scammers have had to "vanish" in order to avoid consequences, though. I'm not saying that people shouldn't take whatever actions they can reasonably afford, but I think they need to keep their expectations about what results those actions might bring realistic.
I really wish that the ability to edit/delete posts was time limited and/or there was a way to confine it to the first post in a thread in certain forums.
Now, all he has to do is wait for this "bubble" to burst and then apologize... *cough*
He didn't seem competent enough even back when glbse was about. Sorry... Rule #1: don't ever cash out borrowed coin.
+1 on the policy

I tagged him and restored all of his deleted posts to Archival.
The restoring part is a huge step in the right direction.
If forum policy becomes "you may delete your own posts but if you get scammer tagged everything you deleted is undeleted by default" things'd be much neater.

Everytime this happens, people say the same things: "You better watch out! Pain is coming!" and "It's not gonna be hard to track him down!". Really? REALLY? What justice was served to Tom Williams? Bitcoinica? Alberto Armandi? Trendon Shavers?
