Mate he's welcome to not respond. No privacy has been violated unless OP decides to respond.

I am not forcing him to answer and I will of course respect the decision if he doesn't want to lmao.

I'm saying it's inappropriate to even ask.

What do you do with your accounts?

Not much really. Just shuffling debt around so that creditors don't feel the need to claim it back in one go mostly. Freelance income as of end of last year, grinding the debt down. Wasn't getting anywhere with it at a fixed salary job.

I realise you're proving a point rather than this being relevant so cba typing any further, here ya go https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35016037

So, the fact that you personally don't care who knows your private information, means that there is no such thing as private information.

This was telegraphed so it was indeed irrelevant to try to illustrate that point.

Not at all. I didn't even bring up my own account, you did? Haha.

No.. I do not believe that because I would do something it means everyone should do the same. What an odd conclusion!

I had the option to respond or not, I decided to do so.

Appreciate the sentiment. I held off on saying the transactions for this exact reason. People are already speculating on the cause without the transactions. I was more interested in things to do next instead of wild speculation on the reasons for it happening (which will not help me).

> Whatever happened to presuming innocence?

private individuals can presume whatever they want to presume.

it is only the state that has to presume your innocence.

I'm not saying private individuals have an obligation to presume innocence. I'm saying it's the courteous thing to do. It makes sense to apply the same principle. Better to assume a guilty man innocent, than an innocent man guilty. It's not like there's any risk in any of us doing that in this case.

For what it's worth my inappropriate question revealed the person's friend's accounts were shut down and they were then caught up with it via business association. If OP had provided this info upfront they may have received some useful tips relating to this before the thread was flagged off the front page.

Unfortunately I have no idea where you'd go from here with this new information and nobody else is around anymore.

> Better to assume a guilty man innocent

that's how you get exploited by sociopaths in your personal life.
