On 26th of November, i lent Irish 177 Keys. Which he needed to buy this(http://i.imgur.com/PnyER.jpg) badger from Indie (http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198000627609) for 460 keys. This is me mentioning about the loan in the middleman group chat(http://i.imgur.com/gjrl1.jpg). The trade was middlemanned by musical_hog (http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197975564454). He also borrowed 117 keys from another guy named Last Call(http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197964812345) though i do not have any communication with this guy. On the first trade i gave him 77 keys for his SE yak as colat (this yak is still with me) (http://i.imgur.com/TwEF0.jpg). On the second trade i gave him 100 keys for his RE Yak and his SE badger (http://i.imgur.com/2jbWc.jpg). So at this point i have lent him 177 keys and i have the 3 couriers as colat. After he buys the 460 keys Badger, he wanted me to give him the SE yak back and he would give me his PB morok. He gave me the PB Morok from his alt account "Shane MacGown" and i gave him the ivory SE Yak back(http://i.imgur.com/KOMr8.jpg). At this point i have RE Yak, PB Morok and SE Badger. After a while he decided that the white PB Morok actually costs too much so he didn't want to keep 3 couriers as colat. I was fine with this and gave him back the SE Yak(http://i.imgur.com/KOMr8.jpg). After 2 days, he started asking his PB morok back and wanted to give me the SE yak in place of the Morok. This time i hesitated a lot. What started with 3 of the couriers as colat was turning into 2 of them. The conversation is in the screenshots. Also i calculated the PB morok to be the costliest and wanted it for safekeeping. But he whined a lot, though we didn't end up swapping the couriers(http://imgur.com/a/ruqaA). On November 30th, I gave him the SE badger which he traded for a Red EF Badger. He then gave that EF Badger to me(I have this with me now)(http://i.imgur.com/iyywL.jpg, http://i.imgur.com/1fjWP.jpg). After that we traded the PB Morok for the SE Yak(http://i.imgur.com/6NF4K.jpg, http://i.imgur.com/2xRHD.jpg). So, now i have red EF Badger and SE yak as colat for my 177 keys. From this point onwards, the equation doesn't change. During this time i told him that i wish to quit trading by end of December or early January and that i want to sell my stuff to buy something in real life. I gave him till 25th December to pay me the 177 keys back. The next screenshots are from one month after. On December 23rd we had a heated conversation and he still didn't have any intention of giving my keys back. Notice how he fled from this convo saying "Relog"(http://imgur.com/a/1YbGb). For the records, when i lent him the keys they were $2.1 each and at the time of writing this, they are a hardsell for even $1.8. So i have already sustained huge amount of loss. I made it clear to him that i will not wait much longer after the given time passes. But he kept giving reasons like "Market is down", "Wait till it goes up". Serioslly market might go down even lower or it might come back up again after 6 months. Is it liable for me to wait that long? At this point i was furious. I was even more mad since i needed the cash and i had to end up selling my Pink EF Boar, which i had absolutely no intention of selling(well i am kinda happy about it since a good friend of mine bought it atleast). In the meantime a new incident occurred. Sometime back he showed me something that he was trying to buy and we both added the potential seller at the same time(Irish was perfectly aware that i am adding the seller. We both left him messages on his profile, which he later deleted). I don't know if this can be called trade highjacking but keep in mind i was the one who approached the seller(http://steamcommunity.com/id/76561198021765487) first( you can add him and ask him this), i was the one who offered him what he wanted(what he wanted was nothing traditional and i went through a lot to find/buy what the seller wanted, DGN middleman Dracowolf was mm for this trade). Irish was also searching for the stuff that the seller wanted and i was able to beat him to it. I have known the details of many of his potential trades and i have never once thought of taking those trades for myself, even in this case i told him that i will not buy the stuff. But this was all before the 23rd December convo and at this point i was at wit's end. So after this i went to sleep and the next day irish and i had a conversation in which he demanded i give him his items back. Not only his SE Yak and the EF badger but also the trade items that i got from http://steamcommunity.com/id/76561198021765487. The trade items were another legacy yak and a blue paint(http://imgur.com/a/Xg26E). I really had enough of him but i would have still negotiated but he was the one who removed me. Now i want my keys back. I have absolutely no use of his couriers and will be happy to get rid of them as soon as he gives me back my keys(http://imgur.com/a/9G4DL). Keep in mind that i have not asked compensation from him even after the key prices dropped so much. When i was about to lend him the keys at least 10 people told me not to do it, literally 10 people. But i went against the flow and this was my reward.

PS. There are many other screenshots(one month worth of screenshots) which i will provide in case the investigator asks for them. Just don't want to spray more dirt in a public forum.
