Jafo has passed away

[intlman]

afaik the folks here (including me) are just curious who is accessing his account.
I imagine those who had a lot of private convo with him especially wonder about that.

He has been online this Wednesday.
Do you have any idea how come?

Likely whomever is the executor of his will; tidying up his affairs.

yeah would be interesting to know what is going on with his account and if the whole story is true.

You can go to the message with him and see when he last read it. I assume that also in your case you can confirm that the message is not opened.

If anybody is worried about his privacy, you can edit your own messages in the conversation with a mentor group gold membership. Otherwise, I think @JohnLocke is able to delete the whole conversation for you. As ultima ratio, we could discuss deactivating his account to prevent leakage to the NYPD.

Maybe the whole thing is one big joke to see how many reactions you can get on OCT if you're "dead" – I think all of us, including myself, have been thoroughly fooled.

I already discussed this here and @Forester agreed:

@jafo was one of the most honourable guests here. We all know him and his eternal support for many of us. He had no incentive to go hiding. Maybe if he got blocked, but this clearly is not the case as confirms @JohnLocke's post.

Yes. I know well that (almost) everything is possible in the cyberspace; nevertheless, in this particular case we are, apparently, facing the sad reality. (Some of us were in contact with jafo independently, too.)

And I can confirm that no forum police member had an intention to block jafo...

I think @intlman is right here.

We are all sad that a respected community member is gone. Somebody has his phone and computer and with good chances OCT was his start page. We should feel honoured about this and pay tribute to him by acting respectfully towards him an all people in this country, the same way @jafo did in the past.

@Forester can you gift my lifetime badge to him?

@Forester can you gift my lifetime badge to him?

Sorry that is not possible and against the rules, the membership follows the members lifetime on the forum.

I think @JohnLocke is able to delete the whole conversation for you.

Sorry, no, conversations cannot be deleted unless the entire account is deleted, which is against the terms of use on OCT and agreed upon by every member when they decide to register on OCT.

We should keep posts focused on the thread topic and avoid including OCT procedures and terms in the conversation.

Every member of the OffshoreCorpTalk forum has the right to share their opinion.

Can this feed be locked?

I don't think it is rightful to delete an account, this is obviously fake, Jafo is likely just busy.

Of course I was shocked too when I first seen this thread, but then I realized something is not right here since he was online, anyway legit news usually posted by trusted old time profiles or from the same account, not with a random new account.

That OP is just from an evil person.
The bright side: It is said that those people whose false death rumors have spread will live for a long time.

Ok guys I think this thread has ran its course. We don't know the facts of the situation or who is operating the account currently and its wrong to speculate in such a situation. If he posts in future feel free to create another thread. But right now this thread is closed out of respect.
