    Wow this scares the shit out of me. I have a Le Sarrasin I was going to trade with him for a CD10 last month. Seeing his feedback I wouldve been confident about shipping first. I ended up not making the trade for other reasons. But he was always communicating and seemed liked a great guy. I'm very taken back by this. Sooooo many good trades only for his account to retire ?? Weird.... Something doesn't add up.

    Yeah, I traded with him as well. Went smoothly, great communication, everything. I wonder if he gotten in way over his head given the rate that he was trading.

    Definately possible. I also question this: he said he is from VT and is currently in California (which u guys also said) but what did he do move his entire cellar out to Cali ? Or have someone in VT ship his side of the trade. He seemed to have a pretty deep cellar.

    The other thing that is kind of weird is I was going to trade a Le Sarrasin for CD10. But he posted recently Le Sarrasin FT. So he obviously wouldnt drink my Le Sarrasin. Both limit 2 $30 HF, so was he going to just take my Le Sarrasin? Idk....

    Maybe his account was hacked and they were using his account to get free beer? idk.

    Its possible, just not probable. It would make alot of sense tho.

    The odd shift from VT to CA and the long good history followed by a spate of pretty bad behavior would seem to combine to make this plausible. Maybe @RyanMcFly1985 or someone else who traded with him earlier on can try to reach out to him, to see if there's anything to this?

    Got a response from him but he hasn't even sent out my package yet when he said that he did. He said that he was banned for speaking up to some dude. But it's really hard to believe considering he hasn't even gotten my package out yet. @Todd any insight into what he's saying??

    He's lying. He manually retired his account, which is a multi-step process.

    @JamesH , if you got through using the number from @RyanMcFly1985, then the theory that someone hacked his account is out the window.

    Sorry this happened to you, OP. what was the trade for if you don't mind me asking.

    Also, it was kind of you to give him the benefit of the doubt, but i think people should refrain from trading with people who even have only 1 negative feedback. If it hppened once it can happen again.

    Or at least make someone with negative feedback ship first. And actually receive the box before shipping your end.

    Definitely thrown right out the window. Guy is a liar and probably screwed over a bunch of people.
