I think it could be true. These payment processors like to discredit each other, for the sake of the competition, I guess. And I think that so-called blackmailer made his LibertyReserve account specifically for this purpose, because he just made it on Feb 09, 2009. But I wonder why s/he did not wait for 48 hours before s/he started spreading the news? I see the posts he made in MMG and TG was made on Feb 10.
How did you find that this guy created the LR account exactly on Feb 09? Are there any options in the LR website to search account names using account no.?
