What if he transferred the ownership of private keys too? 
There's always any possibility, but talking about selling his wallet is too far IMO. That will affect the whole thing as sign a message is a solid proof to prove ownership or legitimacy. 
Topic: Ratimov sold his account - page 8. (Read 2427 times)
He withdrawn his merit source role and he out from high paid campaign, if he want to sell his account, the two things I mentioned above would increase his account value. For me it doesn't make sense he sell his account with the current condition when he could make more.
IF it's true, then we'll see first case of sold account with merit source status.
Probably not.Ratimov/ Symmetrick likely waived / withdrawn his merit source role in the forum. A merit source with 1000 sourced merit is a big one and I can not think of any merit source that likely removed recently than Ratimov/ Symmetrick.
Merit source observation
Indeed, it's a -1000 (there's no great mystery behind the disappearance of this MS) and a +200 (it's more a correction of an "anomaly" for this new MS).
There are clear signals for it too.
Can a merit source re-start Ratimov merit threads.
Two topics are now in Archival.

I don't know the account was sold or still belongs to the real owner. OP did not give any proof for this accusation so for now, I assume it is an invalid one because of Presumption of innocence.
And all of the things that happened was for what exactly? Because he couldn't let go of his stubborn ego. Acting on anger will never end well. Now if he starts to join bounties and or campaigns, or if he starts to call DTs and managers "sir", it would be a worthy evidence. He got played by a DT gang and ruined everything. Btw, he is no longer a source I believe.
In recent messages talked with me as if we had never communicated before.But we had a lot of disputes and communication. Anyone for whom the native language is Russian will notice changes in the style of writing messages.
If you are to bring up such a case, then providing evidence is also necessary instead of just speculating. For example, how your communication with him changed over time. Seeing what Symmetrick did over the past few weeks, I got convinced that his way of thinking was somewhat immature or kiddish. Maybe he "immaturely" started ignoring you and pretending he doesn't know you because his ego is still hurt after being exposed.He has also changed mail but so far if he could sign transaction from old wallets, we cannot say that hands are changed just by speculating writing style.

IF it's true, then we'll see first case of sold account with merit source status.
I talked with Ratimov from almost the first day of his appearance on the forum and with a probability of 90 percent I can say that Ratimov sold his account. I will sign in more detail if there is time, but attentive users can now study Ratimov account and confirm my thoughts.
First of all it will be better to mention changed (new) name also which is Symmetrick . He has also changed mail but so far if he could sign transaction from old wallets, we cannot say that hands are changed just by speculating writing style.
Of course, this is not strong evidence, so I created a topic to attract the attention of more experienced users
Symmetrick deleted all his topics.
Symmetrick completely ignores the questions in Russian reputation and pretends that nothing is happening.
There was lot of cases opened against him and lost so much recently so may be he wanted to change the old style and doesn't want to discuss on particular case. If you have any other strong evidence then it will be better to share. Experience members already talked so much in the other threads and no one yet felt that hands changed.

I don't know if you know about this thread Should Ratimov aka Symmetrick be in DT1? but after the development of events through him, Ratimov started to exclude himself from most forum benefits. As far as I can see, he is mostly active only in the Russian part of the forum, which seems to me to be in line with his latest decisions about contributing to this forum. Cleaning the DT list, deleting posts, deleting feedback...
It is different, but you still have to have some more significant evidence for your claim besides your feelings.

It's not a solid evidence but I believe that if your claims are true, then in no time, it will definitely be detected and his account will be tagged by DTs.
I talked with Ratimov from almost the first day of his appearance on the forum and with a probability of 90 percent I can say that John sold his account. I will sign in more detail if there is time, but attentive users can now study Ratimov account and confirm my thoughts.
There needs to be proof posted in order for anyone to take this seriously. No offense to you, but that's how it is on here. Word of mouth only opens the door, proof closes the case. If you have proof, feel free to post it.In recent messages talked with me as if we had never communicated before. But we had a lot of disputes and communication.

I can be mistaken if, for example, Ratimov account was introduced by more than one person and after my statement he will again connect to writing messages. Or for example, he has a psychological disease where he lost his memory.

Won't continue. This is not Ratimov. Quite a proficient cryptan, a little aggressive, but not Ratimov. He had an unbridled thirst for creating content. And overall he was a little more polite. He mostly switched to aggression after receiving something addressed to him. He just didn’t behave like Daisik, for example.
This is neither good nor bad, it is simply a statement of fact. Life goes on as usual.
I anticipated this since November 23rd:
So let's make a sum-up of recent events:
- this topic exposes all Ratimov / Symmetrick's shenanigans from past years
- many DT and non-DT users distrust him or stop trusting him and, eventually, he is kicked out of DT and his DT strength goes from +13 to -9
- he starts a mass purge of his old posts and topics, possibly some with plagiarism evidence, involving also in his actions the 2 Russian mods which he fools into becoming his garbage men, until theymos puts a stop to this (it was too late anyway)
- he deletes all his left feedbacks, retracts all his support for flags and wipes his Trust list
- stops posting in international sections and resumes only to Russian local board
- stops earning merits with lightning speed; stops sending merits with lightning speed (if you check his merit activity you can see that lately he sent some merits at intervals of ~one week)
- changes his name
- changes his email and password.
What do all these seem like?
Add to all these that meanwhile he also was demoted from Merit Source position and cancels a 0.0435 BTC sponsorship with a few days before he is supposed to make the payment (after benefiting one year from the reputation and popularity gained by saying that he is the sponsor of that contest).

I hope there are few old Russians willing to give their perspective about Symmetrick posting style, does his posting style changed or not especially users who were active to communicate with him.

I see he also changed his password and email today...

It's interesting that after all this circus he remained in the same campaign
Now all that's left is changing the payment address for his signature campaign ~

Then, for "clearing" the account even more, I'd also apply for a name change. This did not depend only on him, but theymos was generous so we can say this step was also Checked..
I'd eliminate any negative feedbacks I left in the past, thus there would be low chances for other rants to appear to my "new" account and jeopardize a possible deal with a customer, which may not be interested om an account involved in accusations, beefs with other users etc. Checked.
I'd be mostly inactive for avoiding other conflicts or, if I needed to be a bit active I'd remain inside my local board, where less people would see what I'm doing. Checked.
I'd cancel any sponsorship, as no potential client for my account would be interested in buying the account with a debt of 0.0435 BTC. Checked.
I'd change my username and password. Checked.
Eventually, I'd also enroll in a better paying campaign, thus the account would look even more appealing for being bought. Checked.
What's there more to say? Ratimov Symmetrick checked all the above criteria, which are common sense for someone trying to obtain a very good price for his account. Let's not forget, this not an ordinary Legendary account, but fourth most merited account on the forum. (Of course, a client would never be informed that those merits were made in thousands by copy-paste and plagiarism, but that's another discussion.)
