John (John K.)! This splat44, you want to see actual proof on email address on both accounts? Here they are: -redacted- and -redacted-, See! email addresses match as well in here No I'm not trying shielding myself! Paraipan already confirm my suspicions in his post! Importanly, I'm one of the moderators at rugatu! Regarding report against shibaji, sorry about this! I'm just frustrate due to incompetences in here and if you John cannot have understandings then why are you here!

I remember that I said I will ask theymos to look into this. Your hostility is not helping you here. Also, if the accounts were hijacked, there's no sense why your email wouldn't be hijacked either.

Jokes apart, I would like John to use extreme caution here.

I did a quick search about splat44 (Phil Normand), and the writing style absolutely does not match between his twitter account (https://twitter.com/splat44) and here. Here is his Rugatu account, which mentions same name of Phil Normand (http://www.rugatu.com/users/871/splat44)

The twitter account has perfect American English, where as we can all see what it is here. It is plausible that the hacker himself is still at large faking actual Phil Norman's account.

Yep, that's true. Thanks for pointing that out - this is why we have reservations unbanning the spammers here as we do not know if the actual owner has regained the account or not.

Also, this might be another attempt here to shield himself - he can just claim to be hacked by another non English native speaker.

PS: Be careful outside - that report was for you. Tongue

Apparently there's 'something else coming your way!'

I have been getting angry reports from splat44 wanting to 'suspend that member! If he expect perfect english after reading paraipan post, then there something else coming his way!'. Undecided

I must say that this is quite in par with the angry scammer/spammer PM's I receive on a regular basis. I'll drop a PM to theymos on his opinion here though.

LOL

"Splat!"

splat
Noun
A piece of thin wood in the center of a chair back.
A sound of something soft and wet or heavy striking a surface.

Perhaps, by including your previous reply, should at least cause that moderator to think twise!

This is extremely offending, and this alone should keep this user banned! The moderator should "think twice" to ban an account that is trying to steal funds and hack into people's account ? Weird!

If you read it again, you will probably realize English is not Splat's native language. I think he wanted to say the moderator may have to revise, and lift his ban, on this particular issue hence "think twise".

English is not my native language either, and that is not an excuse to write gibberish. It is fine if what you mentioned is correct, but my statement was based on what has been written earlier.

The user's account was hacked and it seems splat used the same password on Bitcointalk and Rugatu. The hacker managed to steal him ~1.23btc and tame his reputation in both places, like sending phishing PM to Bitcointalk users or asking questions with phishing links on Rugatu.

MODS please revise his account and give him the opportunity to change his password in here, on Rugatu he already managed to recover his account.

Hi again paraipan,

I appreciate your support you gave me this past few day.

I just made further discovery on who actually banned me from bitcointalk:

After reading following:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=printpage;topic=197750.0

It's appear that John (John K.) one of moderators that actually issued the ban

Seeing you're member at bitcointalk, can you send me him a PM by including the following:

http://www.rugatu.com/questions/7406/news-on-bitcoin?page=2&focusedAnswerId=17731#17731

Perhaps, by including your previous reply, should at least cause that moderator to think twise!

Right now I can't even change my password there and if I should have been able to then my account has been compromized!

Thanks a millions

Done
