By now you should assume anyone in an important position on this forum is a scammer.
There are plenty of good people too!

If you have a problem with John regarding his escrows, that doesn't really have anything to do with the forum. This thread is also a better fit in service discussion since it's about his escrows, not meta.
No, it have EVERYTHING TO DO WITH THIS FORUM. He was in an important position provided by the administration and used exclusively this forum to provide his escrow services.

I don't have any special way of contacting him. I don't know anything about his current status.
No Bitcoin BTCatsignal? 
How did you request he send the forums funds back before? Just PM or email?

And has he emailed John again asking what's going on? He seemed to come back pretty quickly the last time he did.
Has anyone else? Seems like most are just waiting for someone else to do something.
I don't know, but I think an email from Theymos holds a little more weight.
So, theymos appointed John as the mod and asked John to hold 1000 BTC when theymos only know his email and his bitcointalk account username?
He already had a good reputation back then, and was considered trustworthy enough by theymos to be entrusted with 1000 BTC, which at last years exchange rates was worth ~20-30x less than now.

The price of BTC has basically halved since he was supposed to release the raffle escrow. If I was a winner I'd be extremely pissed at this stage.
Did he ever set-up a dead man switch or something similar?
Its all in hand of admin what he want to do with this now too much time and no reply from him is just going in this way he is not in this world Did he ever set-up a dead man switch or something similar?
If you have a problem with John in a moderator capacity, then go to admins. He was demoted a while back.

Well I would hope the forum demotes mods that steal from people. That seems like the least you can do.
The least he could do would be to contact John asking wtf is actually going on.

so much for a great john k. i can't say i am surprised.
i have never used his services as there are other btc escrow options that don't even require a "trusted member" to hold your money

If I was a winner, I would have expected to never see John K online again.
If anyone got any funds hold by John I don't think that you should except them to come back.
He probably is in an island, drinking some cocktails with it right now

Exactly.

He said he did:
Good to know, thanks!
The risk with John K is probably that he doesn't have an institution around him that can survive his passing. If he were to have a heart attack today and die (not wishing it on him!), is there a substantial chance that all the funds in his btc escrow account would remain there, possibly forever locked away? Does he have a contingency plan?

Hey,
I do have a dead-man's switch in place as all the addresses I use are cold wallets printed and stored physically in my safe. I regularly back my escrow list of transactions up to two off-site locations, and in the case of me and my family's incapacitation my family lawyer is authorized to release the funds accordingly with the list.
However, I still make it a point to not keep too much of escrow funds at once - I try to move through escrows as fast as possible to not have too much risk that I cannot cover using my own BTC funds at once. That's why escrows that might take longer (say, 2-3 weeks +) is charged a higher fee here. I don't hold more than 5k BTC in escrow at the moment, barring long term storage like the forum's funds (that I started to hold part of since I was a moderator).

its very nice to hear that you are alive and good and back again you unannounced absent good luck for you future work
Your reply is 11 weeks late, and I am afraid John K will never read it lol.
Why did he return 1000btc to theymos instead of running away with it?
Why didn't he return all the other bitcoin he held in escrow?
Cuz theymos has enough BTC to hire a hitman. Everyone else is now poor enough to not be able to afford one..
Thats why
