RE: The Old Dog Explains: My Biggest Block Chain Blunder or How I Lost More Than $82,000!
damn, that guy certainly got lucky. Can't say the same for you :P

That account was probably set up by a bot during the early days of bitshares to try and scoop up thousands of account names (really short ones, or potentially valuable famous ones) in the hopes of selling the account later at a profit when bitshares became established. The person who ran the bot has probably never even checked individual accounts since. I am pretty sure he is totally unaware that he has @kus-knee's tokens.
The vulnerability to this abuse by bots was removed soon after the thousands of accounts were made.
But that is no solace to @kus-knee in his situation. He just has to say "live and learn" like I had to when I sent 1000 bitUSD to an account set up by someone to mimic another account by changing one letter. Same thing happened to me on steemit.com when I sent some funds to blocktradess (note the double "s" at the end) instead of to blocktrades with a single "s".
"Measure twice, cut once" indeed!
Wise words from a crypto sage!
Why did that happen?
