I vote that the Phinnaeus Gage account should be locked, just like the Hal Finney account when it was hacked, to prevent it from being abused. What do you guys think?
What if a next in kin uses the account to earn money? We may frown upon account sales, but it's not against forum rules and the account could be part of an inheritance.

Yes, I agree, it should be locked. Too bad the whole thing had to become such a travesty.
Everything else being speculated upon in the past 12 hours is idiotic and serves no purpose.
I'm not going to do it regularly, but I'll make an exception here and give VIP status & a custom title to Phinnaeus Gage and Gleb Gamow. However, I know that these accounts changed hands in the past, and maybe arrangements have been for this to happen again in the future; therefore, if either account ever posts in the future, I will remove this stuff from the account.
Wouldn't surprise me at all if his accounts re-activated again at some point.
I'm not a prophet. I'm an arsehole remember:
Since the funds moved on the 24th from his donation address I think it's either he never posted the donation address in the first place and it was whoever had hold of his account or his family figured out how to access his funds. I'd go with the former really.

It appears that the account has resurfaced and began posting. Haven't seen evidence yet that it truly is the original owner - https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bitcoin100-is-back-and-stronger-covid-19-5251074

I think someone probably has his phone. Or maybe, he had sent some pictures in his outbox.
The most likely scenario is he sold or gave his account to someone. Or it was hacked, but the timing seems a bit suspicious. The donation address thread he posted was likely done by the same person given the funds moved a couple of days ago. Seems far too much of a coincidence to me. He used the same sort of old photos before for the donation thread. Bruno probably sent a few pictures privately to people to prove he was in the hospital, maybe to solicit donations himself. One of those people could have then used the pictures for a scam. Maybe he tried to sell the account as he did before, or someone made him an offer for it. Someone finding his phone and then posting on a forum seems incredibly unlikely.

If it's 100% verified he's died then it probably should.

I feel stupid now. What is going on is a big shame and I will need to finish reading everything before having a clue. This is not real please. If Bruno comes back and says these, it is a bit silly for everyone who participated in all the fund raisers.
Bruno I think you should see this topic: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/thanks-theymos-bruno-has-vip-status-a-custom-title-5239632
That isn't real... i can assure you I'm live in the fleshI have recovered with the help of lovely staff at my local hospital, if you care to speak on telegram i can show paper and pictures

phinnaeusgageAs hilariousandco earlier mentioned i was skeptical with all these situation even though nutildah informed about his death because of the pariapan situation where the coins were moved after the claimed death and archived everything in archive.is regarding all the topics created surrounding his health and demise.
I understand the purpose why TECSHARE and OgNasty created topics in Collectibles and a signature campaign by BitcoinGirl.Club and the VIP status once he reappeared claiming he is fine and healthy everything looks silly.

There is no point in locking the account as a family member has every right to use the account after the demise but in this case Bruno came forward and said he is fine and doing well. The situation here is everyone was gullible to believe the story he was dead.

Is it 100% confirmed that he died? That everhere.com site kind of looks like a scam... Though based on Bruno's recent posts, it seems plausible.
It looks like anyone can create an 'obituary' on there and they don't require legal proof unless you're soliciting donations, but nothing would surprise me with Bruno. When I saw the thread about his imminent death and asking for donations I was a little concerned but didn't say anything because he was clearly ill or at least had been through major surgery. Love him or hate him he definitely was a unique character who left his mark here and probably won't be forgotten about.

Hello theymos, I'm sure all appreciated your kind gesture for Bruno.
May I ask if you can do the same for two other members who passed away and helped the forum in the past? Meaning Zepher and Paraipan.
The same pariapan that somehow managed to move the money he was holding two years after he died? https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/paraipans-coins-on-the-move-1577411
I think this is where things become problematic. Was it ever confirmed that he actually died? I never saw anything concrete. Of course it's possible that a family member accessed his wallets but we'll probably never know.
Thanks
...
What about the account of Zepher?I just visited the account and his custom Title is still Copper Member...
I think it should be the same as Bruno's Account.
For these users who have died, Rest in Peace.
Edit:

I deeply suggest to have those account to be permanently locked.I second this. Zepher definitely deserves the VIP status as well.

Someone else has also decided to do the same kind of thread this week as well.

I am glad to see this new VIP In memoriam title.
It is hard to confirm passing away for every user, so I would not give it to anyone until confirmation.

Most probably, as he did post pictures of his surgery prior to his passing. I think you might have come across them.
