Topic: Should Ratimov aka Symmetrick be in DT1? - page 2. (Read 9836 times)

Regardless of whether this is true or not, he has basically admitted that the original owner no longer controls the account, so make of that what you will. I've already put him on my distrust list, personally.

I wonder whether his "death" was directly or indirectly caused by the exposure of his past plagiarism?


That seems powerful and dangerous at the same time. At least phones and tablets don't have a middle mouse button emulation.


 

Hello forum.

I am mindrust.

I am sad to give you the bad news.

I am dead.

Rest in peace.

I believe that it was he himself who, after his death, has seen fit to come to the forum to give us the bad news.

From himself.

Middle-mouse button on the Delete button can be a lot faster than that.

Explain to me how you can delete your posts so quickly?

although I think I understand, it opens a lot of tabs and then quickly deletes them..
or does it use software?

Where did the rumours about him being dead originate?

Keeping that aside, there were some posts about him being that far ahead of the game that is would have been highly unlikely he did not have other accounts. It does sound like a far-fetched idea but if he sold the Ratimov/Symmetrick account while at the same time having several others to concentrate on, he could accept the fall from grace. As for his presence not being missed here, maybe he never left.

The Ratimov account essentially became worthless, I’d be surprised if somebody bought it. Bitcointalk never ceases to amaze me, so many supposedly trustworthy, high ranked accounts have a huge fall from grace. The likes of Quickseller, Trade Fortress. You can now add Ratimov to the list.

The cynic in me doubts he is dead, seems like BS. If he is, RIP, I don’t believe it though.

It’s a real shame the way it played out for him on the forum. Totally self inflicted but I liked him, I guess I was tricked like so many he manipulated here.

His presence here will not be missed.

Interesting, I am out of emoji.
Bitcointalk is a ghost place now?

It was as clear as the crystal. The name change, the silence, and now the dead news. He is a mad man.

Please tell me anyone, I have been accused of "targeting someones [Symmetricks] personality" by pointing out his recent name change from Ratimov to Symmetrick was an attempt from Ratomov to cover up his abuses.


In my impression, Ratimov and his name change was clearly motivated to cover up his abuses.
If I'm wrong, please show me anyone where my assumption is wrong?

God forgive me if I'm wrong here, but this was also first thought I had. If I am wrong may God rest his soul.

But it's hard to believe such thing. First of all, knowing the way Ratimov used to act, this individual always used to do the best he could to shock. To impress. To amaze. To do something which people would consider stunning. Like being a best of best at everything and everybody to forget looking around and see that all he built he did through lies, shady actions and fooling the audience. Just like magicians do those tricks called "magic in your eyes". You are so amazed by what you see that you never think to look behind the magician or at his pockets etc.

Such announcement, done now, precisely 3-4 days before Halab's contest is over, which could lead to having the account also accused by a flag initiated by a contest winner and which could lead also to more red tags -- oh well, such announcement precisely in these moments seems for me just like a trick of a magician. Like he thought about "What can I do now to shock all these people and forget about a flag against me if I don't pay what I promised to pay?".

This gesture also looks like a way to protect, eventually, the account buyer or even himself, in case he did not sell the account yet. This account is already dramatically affected by the red tags received and, in case these tags would be correlated with other tags or a flag, it would make it useless. Impossible to sell, if he didn't sell it already. At same time, perhaps the buyer (in case he sold it though) asked him to give him a hand of help here and avoid a flag or other red tags. If that's the case, then what could Ratimov do? Exactly what he did all these years: to try, once again, to amaze the audience, to shock it, to leave it speechless. So he made that announcement. What else could shut people's mouth if not such an announcement? Literally, there was nothing else for him to invent in order to avoid a flag or more red tags after not paying for Halab's contest.

Furthermore, if such a sad incident actually happened, who is the one which kept making posts? And why would anyone make (Bitcoin-related posts) from the account of someone deceased? Who is the one which made the announcement? The buyer? And if it's the buyer, it's hard to believe that a buyer kept contact with the seller after the transaction was done. There would be no purpose for this. Even if this happened, who informed the buyer that Ratimov died? There are too many details which just don't add up here to believe that announcement...

Why is the account getting blocked?

Selling accounts isn't against the forum rules.

Something is fishy. It smells.

It really is pretty much over as far as a story is concerned. There is always a chance the account could/will be re-sold in future but that is a different matter and no doubt will be addressed if/when it happens. As for now though, the story is over regardless of whether he fulfils his commitments made towards prizes in other threads. Other than that, it was mentioned previously that he probably had more accounts therefore if it is true he never left and is focusing on other accounts.

After the account was re-named and seemed to have changed hand, it was on the Tumbler signature campaign for a short while. We do not know if the buyer managed to make enough for his outlay to be returned.

Lauda also said that user Lauda is dead or something to that effect but obviously that didn't mean the person died.

Wow, what a timely death.

It looks like he had been preparing it.

I'm skeptical by nature, and when someone deletes all posts, feedbacks, announces that he is no longer a sponsor etc etc and suddenly after 15 days without logging in someone appears, who magically had the passwords to enter the forum, and announces his death, I don't believe it.

Although for forum purposes it is the same thing. He was dead before he announced it.

Unfortunately, there is no way we can confirm it. If there is any person who he personally could try to contact his family members to know the truth! If his death is true, then I am sorry for him. He could have been a better person, but no blame right now. But, since we are speculating that the account changed hands, we never know if it's true. I was never personally affected by any of his actions. But, I would request everyone not to hold anything bad for him since the person has passed away!

But, nothing is confirmed yet. Let's wait if we see something.

Really sad story, only if he could have apologized for all the wrongdoings and continue participating without bullying people. But instead he chose to hide in shame. IMO, everyone deserves to be forgiven, even when you kill someone, God has provided the option of forgiving. It's never too late to correct the mistakes of the past as long as we have the chance, which means as long as we are alive. Because the moment we see the angel of death, no amount of apology and repent would do us any good. This should be a lesson for us all.

Now the comedy part:
Let us stay silent for 1 minute for the loss of our fallen hero. 😂
I hope he could do a final heroic act of dumping all his smerits on me, so I can rank up. Lol

He will soon deprive you of sleep.


Looks like this is the end of the story.

I read about this a couple of days ago, and I've been thinking of writing something substantial, but fuck it. I'm at a loss of words.

That bastard really bought himself low and sold him high.

This is not clear to me. It seems that indeed whoever was managing the account lately pocketed the money [banned mixer] gave him in advance and has disappeared from the forum but we have not heard anything official from them who are the ones who should create a flag if this is so.

It is not clear to me if maybe they do not say anything because they do not want to show that they have been fooled, if that has been the case.

And who knows if he has another account that may still be active in this forum? If someone loves forums and it become their daily routine to check Bitcointalk threads, they will still continue visiting the website to check threads without even logging in. Who knows maybe Lauda still watching us and sometimes laughing seeing how we often discuss her. Or, if someone takes the forum as one of the earning sources, you won't be able to kick them out of the community. They will be there with new names, and new identities and you will never know how many of them returned with a new identity. Probably, you could think that I am glad I haven't seen that stupid for a while, but you are getting engaged regularly with his alt accounts maybe you have a good understanding with his alt account without even understanding who it is! we don't know! think twice!
