Does anyone else get the creepy feeling that this is mgrunin posting to stroke his own ego?

"That guy must have been one of our extremely high volume VIP users or something in order for something like that to have happened."

That just does not sound right. And it's not the first time he's tried a sockpuppet account [1].

Hah - good guess, but incorrect. Coinbase reached out to me this morning from this post. They've reconciled a transaction for 10 bitcoins, but there's 2 bitcoins from an old transaction that are still "missing" despite it being marked as completed, more than a week old and the withdrawal cleared from my bank.

I don't really understand why I've been hearing the whole "sockpuppet" issue ever since my thread. What exactly do people think I am doing? Creating shill accounts? What is my purpose in doing so. I already had my matter solved in my thread successfully. This is my fist and only account YC.
