Steem Inc responded. They decided to assist the scammer in robbing me by refusing to return the account to me.

Steem Inc has responded to my request to re-recover the account @kibria365

Hello Neoxian,

Steemit isn’t in a position to act as an arbitrator for a transaction between two private parties.

Please refer to section 5.3 of our Terms of Service:
5.3. We will not be responsible or liable to you for any loss and take no responsibility for and will not be liable to you for >any use of our Services, including but not limited to any losses, damages or claims arising from: (a) User error such as >forgotten passwords, incorrectly constructed transactions, or mistyped Steem blockchain addresses; (b) Server failure >or data loss; (c) Corrupted Account files; (d) Unauthorized access to applications; (e) Any unauthorized third-party >activities, including without limitation the use of viruses, phishing, brute forcing or other means of attack against the >Service or Services.

Thank you,
Steemit Support

Yea, what a bunch of bullshit. You supposedly are not in a position to act, but that didn't stop you from acting. You did take an action. You returned an account to a scammer and allowed him to rip me off. And if you assist a scammer, then you are little better than a scammer yourself.

Congrats Steem Inc, pat yourself on the back, you have destroyed about 80% of my loan business.

What this means is that I no longer rely on the Owner key mechanism to help secure my loans. Maybe I should have never tried to use it in the first place, yea fine whatever.

This means that many people who needed a loan are not going to get one now. Can't get that loan you needed? Well you can thank @kibria365 and Steem Inc for that one.

The types of loans I might be able to make:

  • Card based loans: I can still take Steem Monster cards as collateral.

  • If your account was created by Anon-steem. @someguy123 is actually pretty reasonable and won't just hand the account back to the scammer, so I may still be able to loan to Anon-steem created accounts (maybe).

  • If you are an existing customer and I've held your keys for over 30 days and/or I've changed the recovery account to myself, then I can make loans to you.

  • If you are willing to give me your keys and wait for 30 days before getting the money, then I'd be willing to loan to you. What? 30 days is too long to wait? Well too fucking bad, again you complain to @kibria365 and Steem Inc for that.

  • There is a very tiny, small, vanishingly small group of people that I'm willing to take the risk and loan without collateral. If you are reading this, chances are excellent that you are not one of them.

I'm taking a Bank holiday for a week

I'm going to take a week off from taking on any new business while I decide what to do. I'm probably going to shutdown the deposit aspect of my Bank, of course I'll be returning all depositor money, with something extra for them. So no problems there of course.

This isn't the end of me making loans here in Steemit, but it's going to hit me very hard, and I'll be making much much fewer loans. Don't know what else to say.

It's a very sad day for the Bank.

@neoxian,
Bro sorry for the loss, once we had this discussion isn't it! Anyway now it's happened! I still hope you got honest customer base as well! Hope you will find a way to loan them! Anyway if there is no way to loan contracts it's better Power Up and delegate others!

Cheers~

Everyone please downvote to @kibria365 account.

That just sucks. It would have taken less than 3 minutes to determine that you were the legitimate owner of that account and that the guy was trying to scam you. I shouldn't have expected more from Steemit Inc, but I guess I did. They didn't need to be in a position of being an arbiter, they put themselves in that position by offering the account recovery service, and additionally so by giving the account back without even doing proper due diligence. I'm even more disturbed by Steem Inc's behavior.

Coming in the same week that they breached the rules of their own giveaway, nothing really surprises me with them anymore.

I'm sorry, buddy. I hope the break helps and that you're able to come up with new ideas for how to do new loans.

thats fucking bullshit - i just went and gave @kibria365 a couple of flags

I am so sorry Sir @neoxian for your loss there I really thought that Steemitinc will use their common sense in dealing with the situation.
Scammers really had a lot of mechanism to abuse others, it is a very dangerous world.

I am so sorry for what have happened. To those who have done bad things, just remember that one day the karma will hit back.

Now see what the reckless act of @kibria365 has caused now. Honest people who deserved a chance are not going to get it now.
@kibria365 your karma will always find you where you go. And remember the evil that men do lives after them.
Secondly I plead to steem Inc to please reshaken their laws to help good people like @neoxian, who with his selfless heart want the Steemit community be a place to always be.

Friend @neoxian is so sorry to read things like this and that people are abusing the trust that others give them, this will make you be harder but it is for good is your business and you are losing

I hope these free days will serve you to rest and be calmer

What a bad move friend in this world there are always people doing the bad and wanting to live what they take from others

Although you had to take action on the matter it hurts that now many people who were going to request credits will be a bit more difficult
Go for your bank holidays you deserve them

We are so sorry neo sir😢 Indeed it's a really bad day. All credit goes to Steem Inc shame on you Steem Inc this is how you guys are working really disappointed and pathetic . Really disguisting serioulsy no word for such bloody shit this is how you're responding to your steemit witness? You guys are directly supporting to a scammer. Improve your working standards and listen to your witnessws first not the scammers.

but it's going to hit me very hard,

So sorry neo sir 😭😢

This is truly disheartening! I wish you find a better and secure ways for the upcoming loan system- if you still wish to do so.
