In my opinion I think everyone is wrong.
There is only one Legitimate God in the Forum "VOD"
The same thing (sort of) happened with SwingDev & altcoin4life.
Nope Altcoin4life was dealing with a hacked account when he was warned not to.His greediness landed him in trouble.
Owner goes inactive, account asks for a loan, doesn't pay back, 'real' owner comes back asking for account, altcoin loses 0.1.
Obviously,because there is something called as "Staked Address" and a smart lender would always asked for signed a message before lending 0.10.
You buy account, get scammed, suddenly owner comes out of nowhere and wants account deleted/back, you get the negative trust.
Interesting logic.
Definitely, owner has all the rights to claim his account back if he is able to provide a signed message .If you're buying a legendary account without the private keys of the staked address or escrow ,you're likely to get scammed,moreover it would stupid of you to do so.
