Hey notlist3d

I can personally testify that Vlad's account has not been sold. I've been chatting to him via private messages these days (just a couple hours ago as well) and I know with 100% certainty that it's the same friend that I've known before. Same man.

Some ppl just like to change their passwordz every once in a while, it's really not a good indicator for account sales. (In some cases it is of couse, you're right). He's just been interested in joining a sig campaign recently

Well I will lock thread then. I hope he did not take it personal I just thought with mentioning time off and password change, mixed with trying to join a campaign. I mentioned from beginning I was not sure.

But seems like a user who just changes password and odd timing because of it. Again no offense meant this is why I asked if others could tell more and not accuse.

I could be wrong but doesnt it also tell you when an email address is changed? that would be a pretty good indicator that an account has been sold, I wouldnt go by the password reset cause some site i seem to forget my passwords all the time, not been so bad on this one though. Also the structure of sentences are usually different since the new user could be from any country and English may not be their first language.

Hmmm, it is possible that his account was sold, but I don't think it was the case. It looks like the double password changes happened around 90 minutes before he said he was going to take some time off. Also the time between password changes was only 51 seconds, so if the account was sold then the previous owner would need to have 1) changed the password, 2) communicated the changed password to the buyer (likely via PM), 3) the buyer would need to access the account with the new password and 4) change the password, all in 51 seconds, which I don't think is realistic.

The number of password changes is unusually high though. Although looking at the archives of the security log, it looks like he has somewhat of a history of changing his password, at least looking back an additional two months beyond what the security log goes back to.

Sold account or not, I would not send first to him if I was trading with him, and I probably would not lend to him without collateral except for very small amounts.

There was also a message about taking time off on day with 2 reset's

I've got some personal issues going on so I'm gonna take some time off.

After watching the Ethereum debacle and giving I some serious thought, I'm no longer supporting any blacklists or any touching or manipulating of the blockchain, that would be suicide. The premine sucks but plenty of coins have succeeded massively with huge premines.

Take care, guys...

Much love!

I was just curious saw user: Vlad2Vlad - https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/vlad2vlad-112208

He has good trust Vod's trust makes him look good there. But if you look at security log - https://bitcointalk.org/seclog.php quite a few recent password changes in short period:

June 23, 2016, 08:01:25 PM - Vlad2Vlad - password changed
June 23, 2016, 08:00:34 PM - Vlad2Vlad - password changed

On 23rd he also talks about taking time off - https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.15338123

And Today at 11:18:21 AM - Vlad2Vlad - password reset via email (I'm wondering if this one was to check email worked on account).

But soon after that last reset he tried to join a sig campaign (in about 30 minutes):

You guys accepting legends, err, legendary members? Hook me up ASAP and I'll blow up Bitcointalk for ya!

So I could be completely wrong but recent password change and trying to jump into signature campaign I wondered if anyone could tell more proving if sold account or not. And I could be completely wrong I just found above to be odd.

*Edit looking I guess he could be a user who just changes password a lot:
June 08, 2016, 01:36:01 PM - Vlad2Vlad - password changed
June 04, 2016, 12:30:34 PM - Vlad2Vlad - password changed

So I could be completely off base I just found it odd to change a password different way then previous 4 and within 30 minutes try to join a sig campaign. So again just asking not accusing as I have no real proof was just curious what others could tell.

You can't really base an account sale through password resets but you can base it off the post structure if the person that bought the account posts in a local board that the previous owner never did that is a red flag if the person suddenly starts typing in bad English when they used to have good grammar another red flag.
