Before I get started, I know this is probably the longest thread anyone on MCM has ever written, but I'd rather make sure everybody get's the correct impression of what happened rather than some made up chinese whispers story.
I'd like to assure anyone who is still under the impression that I scammed users or took back accounts that you mistaken and that I would never even think of doing anything like that.

I purchased the Minecraft accounts Dog, Cool, Swag, Love and War a few months ago back in August/September. I had purchased these accounts offsite and later sold them here on MC-Market. Each account came with what I was sold as the 'Original Transaction ID' and this was supplied to my buyers.
Earlier this month I had heard from the owner of Dog that Mojang had replied to him stating that the Transaction ID for his account was incorrect. This was the first I had heard of this issue, which aroused my suspicions to contact Mojang myself with all 5 TIDs to confirm that they were correct. It came back that all 5 didn't exist on the Mojang system. I immediately contacted the user who sold the accounts to me and I didn't get any reply for weeks from him, even though every single message that I sent was marked as 'read' (keep in mind that at this point the worst thoughts were going through my mind). Not only had the seller scammed me out of hundreds of dollars, but my buyers had accounts with incorrect security credentials. He eventually replied to me. As I suspected, he not only agreed that the Transaction IDs were incorrect, but he denied that this was in no way his responsibility, and had no intentions of resolving an issue which I originally thought was 'Accidentally mixing up the Transaction IDs'.
I had no choice but to open a scam report on him. His reputation was just simply a build up for an inevitable exit scam. All he did was to continue to deny responsibility for anything. He had no intention of supplying me with the real Transaction IDs to the accounts. Following his immoral stupidity he was later closed (banned) by the site admin after trying to trick me into closing the report on him.
I wake the next morning to find that he has taken back all 5 of the Minecraft accounts, and half of MCM suspecting me of being a scammer. However, as you now know, myself and the current owners of the 5 accounts were been victims of his exit scam, something which I could not predict, nor control. I can understand why so many of you immediately put the blame on me. I was literally enjoying an 11 hour sleep at the time when all of this kicked off. The user Audacity was mistaken for what had occurred and wanted revenge on me for what I had done. He had gained access to my MCM account to find out straight after that he had midunderstood and mistakenly believed the false accusations of what happened, but by then he knew he'd messed up as his IP was logged on my account.
This is ultimately what happens when people 'assume' before they know situations. Darkone has managed to contact the user and paid him off to get all 5 accounts back. I'll be sorting a few things out with him on Skype. I'm not the sort of person who leaves people in the dark.
I've received apologies from people who falsely accused me, but that's beyond what I expect. In all honestly I'm glad that this has been resolved in the best and most sensible way possible. I couldn't have relied on a more trusted member than Darkone while I was offline. The only accounts affected by what happened are the 5 accounts that were mentioned at the beginning.

I've been writing this for the pasthour EDIT: 2 hours now, hoping that I have cleared up a lot of confusion about what happened, and that many of you unintentionally got the wrong idea. In regard to Audacity (who compromised my account), I've been talking with him since the incident really well. I'd like to even think that we've become really good friends as a result. I will be contacting Mick in regard to pardoning his ban.
Hopefully I've covered everything that people wanted to know. I deeply hope that everyone knows that I would never scam a fly, and that this situation was a complete misunderstanding of a scam that someone else pulled on me and the account owners. I'm completely open to questions if anyone has any. Feel free to post or message me.
I hope everyone had a fantastic Christmas...
... and a Happy New Year!
I'm going to go and get a coffee now.
