[Nope]No hype delivers more than hope

does he still have to pay?, give it up?.


Of course, the lender expects that return regardless of the borrower's life status. Furthermore, it is up to the heirs or relatives of the deceased whether they believe the loan was ever made (this is a pseudo-anonymous forum) or even care about it. In this case the lender has only a glimmer of hope, but according to our belief, the dead should not leave debt unless the lender give it up.

The deceased had already entrusted funds to his partner to pay off his debts before he died I think it was the obligation of his colleague to pay them off immediately, and I read that his colleague also said that he would pay off even one of the reasons he created an account on this forum (if I am not mistaken) was to clear this matter, so nothing to be debated.
But there can be exceptional cases. Example is someone that is travelling and had a car accident and instantly died. It could be in a way he had no friend or family that will pay back the loan. Family is even what we can consider more because friends can know about it and do not do anything because only family can be concerned if they are capable of paying the loan. Even the deceased family may not know anything about bitcointalk, not to talk of knowing anything about the deceased having loan to pay back.

It's similar like what Bitcointalk will do if someone got scammed, the forum didn't even do anything to the scammer and also with the victim, but DT members will put negative feedback and flag on the scammer account.

It's more correctly to say does pandukelana2712's wife/children/siblings/parents etc that has family connection with him is owe the money? I'd say it's yes, but I think his family doesn't know this forum.

Your question is not clear.

What happen after a death of a forum member is related to what was done by that member in the forum: contributions, active loan must be repaid, scam accusations ...

Not all death cases will be reported and verified as many of us don't know other members in person. We just know them via the forum, the Internet and that's all we know about each other. To verify death cases, it requires more information, more contact in person and mostly we don't have it.

After a forum member passed away, if the member has great net-effect and contributions, the head admin (theymos/ Cyrus) can give some special treatments as follow
  • A special badge like In Memoriam
  • Lock that account permanently for security reason like what were done for accounts of satoshi and Lauda
  • Investigate further like case of paraipan
Community members can keep investigation going with scammers who suddenly passed away or faked their deaths as well as flow of scam money.

Only BTC
Bitcointalk is not a financial company, so loans are between the lender and the loanee. If a person dies while having an active loan with someone in the forum, that should be the end of it because there is no way an heir or next of kin is going to pay back the loan, except the loanee is a kind of person that communicates to his family about any loan taken even from a forum like ours, and directs them to always pay back should anything happen to him, in that case if the member is that kind of person and his family have the password to his forum account, then the loan can be repaid.

There is sad news in our local forum, a member who has active in long time ago died. ~ pandukelana2712 ~

I do not know exactly him even have read his post and his thread. so what makes me interested is, what happen with his lending, does he still have to pay?, give it up?.

I don't think so, because in my habit, if someone died, usually a lot of people on neighbors give it up,
but another financial company ask for heirs to pay it off.

Thanks alot.
