Be The Change You Want To See In The World
Scammer's profile link: Assassin
Explanation of the trade: This will be a long one, and one that I really wish I didn't have to write. Assassin has always been there to help me since I started in the name business, and has MM'd quite a few sales for me in the past. However, I strongly believe that when he thinks he can get away with something (ie sniping a name) because it's so hard to prove, that he attempts to. Assassin has his own discord market, and it is notorious for scammers, snipers, and people trying to move stolen names.
As of last night, Assassin "purchased" two RSN's. One of these was a name I personally sold a little over a month ago, and Assassin MM'd. The buyer chose to transfer the name himself, and it was sniped. At the time I didn't think anything of it, unfortunately a lot of people know my name list and that RSN would be one I'd expect people who snipe to pay attention to. Assassin added it to the "names to avoid" section of his market discord, and everyone moved on. He claimed to not have even known what the name was that I was selling at the time, but he also asked me if I wanted him to advertise my names when anyone came to him looking to buy, so that was untrue, he knew my entire list, and my prices. So when I had him MM a 1bil 07 name sale, it was very obvious which name it was.
The second name he "bought" from the same person was sniped during a sale several months back. He MM'd that sale as well, and admitted knowing what the name was to me before it sold. Afterwards he was quick to throw other people under the bus who he "suspected" of being serial snipers (none of which he ever banned from his discord though).
When he messaged me last night regarding the name that pertained to me, it was sitting unchanged and logged on at the duel arena. He said the same person that stole one of his names months ago, used to do that to him, to taunt him. Then an HOUR later, a person joined his discord, went directly to him, and sold him both of these names. He claims that this person "purchased the names from someone in his pure cc", so he wasn't the sniper, so it's ok that he bought them. Despite having been a part of both of the sales when the sniping occurred, and having both of them listed on his "names to avoid" section of his discord (now that he owns them he has deleted them from that section, even though they are no less sniped than they originally were).
Obviously it upset me to learn that his morals are so low that he'd be so quick to buy stolen names, when any other time he would seek approval to anti-scam them (especially considering he was the MM for both of them). He didn't come to me to tell me he bought the name that was stolen from me, instead I had to confront him on why the name was removed from the names to avoid section. Same goes for the other name, he only told the person who lost it that he bought it AFTER they confronted him on it.
I talked to him about this situation at length, as you'll see in the screenshots, and somehow he jumped to the conclusion that I was calling HIM the sniper. I never did, but it's an odd conclusion to jump to. And the more I think about it, the more it is most likely the case. He is even offering to be the white knight, and SELL these names back to the people who lost them. AT COST. Very noble, unless of course the cost for him was zero. Or unless he just realizes that he's is in the wrong here by associating himself with them in the first place, and wants to get rid of them to avoid him getting another ban.
I highly doubt anything will come of this, the rules on buying/selling sniped names are very unclear, and he knows that. He repeats it more than a few times in our conversation. However it is NOT the right thing to do. Everyone knows its a grey area, and I feel like he is and has been using this tactic out of pure greed. And I feel like people should know about it.

Other relevant trade screenshots:
the screenshot HE sent me of the name showing it was UNCHANGED, still on the original account that has sniped it.
an unprompted hint at @alanvong12 being the sniper. and more of him reassuring me that the person who he purchased them from couldn't have POSSIBLY been the original sniper.
Wow, that's a lot of chatting to have occurred in the span of 2 MINUTES at 2 in the morning. But don't worry, he makes sure to check his facts.
Another @alanvong12 mention, one he's constantly thrown under the bus in the past when any names were stolen.
Yet another "maybe I did buy it from the sniper, maybe I didn't" remark.
And finally he comes to the conclusion that I'm accusing him of sniping them.
Anyways, that's all I've got regarding this. It is against the rules to involve yourself with stolen goods on sythe, and I strongly feel that Assassin has done so knowingly. Or, this could have all been a set up, and he could have had these names all along, and is using this "bought them from a friend of the sniper" loophole so that he can sell them again without getting in trouble for it. Either way, I just needed to get that out there. You helped me when I was starting out Assassin, but back then I never interfered with the business that you ran. I don't think you want to get banned, so you'd never outright scam someone, but I think when the chances of you being caught are so slim, that you take the risk out of greed, and it's sad.
I'm not going to go back and forth bantering with you in the comments of this post, so if you have anything to say, say it to the mods.
I apologize if I didn't follow the correct format with this one, was a bit more unique than I'm used to posting.
