Better thought out version. (Leaving original for transparency since this is sensitive topic in general).
I have regained control of my account and have sent a PM reply to everyone in my inbox that the hacker messaged while using this account. For full transparency, it seems that there were three transaction type things that were completed over the past few days by the hacker. They are with imbest, HiringYou, and PokemonGoArena. I will be addressing each case below. Hopefully the actual individual can also chime in and we can settle these situations. I use the word "seems" below because I am only able to infer from the PM's and posts made by the hacker on this account as to what occurred.
PokemonGoArena:
The topic seems to stem from this topic: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.16200370
From the screenshot provided in the PM (included below) it seems that he/she sent $1 in BTC to the hacker for some service. Pokemon could you clarify whether that service was rendered along with some evidence if possible? There also seems to be some talk about servers which may be associated with task as mentioned above.
I will be happy to send the $1 in BTC upon your reply that this would be appropriate in rectifying the situation.

HiringYou:
The issue seems to be a WTB amazon GC where I was sent amazon gift cards and no payment was made to HiringYou as seen a few posts above. However, it seems that the amazon gift card codes that were PM'ed to me are invalid and therefore there should be no claim to repayment. I am checking via the gift card balance checker online (link included). If anyone has thoughts as to how the two seemingly invalid codes could actually have been valid; please let me know (via a reply on this thread ideally so I can keep everything transparent).
Please let me know if you have issues with how this is being dealt given what information I can find in my account. If there is any other additional information, please do let me know.

*Given that there might be the thought that I have doctored the screenshot, is there any admin that could verify it in my actual account? Please PM me if you are highly trusted and willing to do so.

imbest:
You started this thread and have provided your side of the argument which seems to be a Skrill for BTC transaction. The claim seems to be for 0.0342 BTC or approximately $22. I have included the PM's below.
I will be happy to pay you the same amount of BTC (0.0342) if you feel that that would rectify the situation to your satisfaction. After the situation is resolved, could you please remove the negative feedback on my account as well.

If there is anyone else that has had issues/concerns regarding my account, particularly over the past few days; please post here or PM me (or do both) and I will try my best to correct the situation.

Could someone share how I could best prove that I am back in control of my account? I haven't checked here often and only just noticed the transactions that have happened over the past few days. Going through the messages right now for damage control.

There is no real way to use what you have put up here and prove that the TX was between you and him. You may be able to use PM's that you exchanged and such, but in a wide technical sense you and that Bitcoin address and not linked that I can see here.
Go back to school again and learn or stop posting only because you are getting paid few cents. Nonsense,its very clear as i stated in op,he blocked me,locked his exchange thread,i sent btc to the given address,i have the conversation record,you stupid can't see the tx id?he received btc from me,doesn't matter from which address I used for btc tx, from which school you learn about how to investigate a case?do you know this scammer MasonIII ?Bring him here if you really want to contribute a little,otherwise shut up and stop interrogate for few sent.
I have just been scammed by him aswell :/
P.S: Don't worry though. Working on getting our money back. Came from HF to get scammed by a supposed trusted member. Already have his IP and all of his personal info. I'll take care of it

I just messaged you to do a deal with me. If you did it with me instead you know that I trusted to not do what this guy just did to you. 
Even if I ask for a bit more than most do, atleast you would have your skrill with out any trouble and hassle free.
Its already done before i received your massage Even if I ask for a bit more than most do, atleast you would have your skrill with out any trouble and hassle free.
It seems people don't learn the lesson that you should never send bitcoin first. The amount you sent is more than his account is worth, and thus it's profitable for him to abandon it or claim he was hacked.
