Let us hope he will not go away with the money.
Was he in a signature campaign when you borrowed him the money? But according to what he posted on the post he applied for the loan, he is likely not in any signature campaign at the time. If he is not in a signature campaign and applied for a loan, it is highly risky.
The negative trust he has also counts and his merit in the last 120 days has been significantly reduced which makes me think if he still cares about his Bitcointalk account.
All I can say is that he might come to pay the money but expect delay, but probably he might not pay it.
Hey Charles,
Nope, he mentioned it in the OP that he's not in one and anyone was free to take up on the offer.
However he's returned the funds and I'll be closing this thread. Thank you for your concern as well

Just had some things to work out, this will be paid within 24h.
I'm not and never will be a scammer. I value people who trust me and help me. When there's delays, there are genuine reasons.
Don't worry @UserU

I am sorry for the small delay.
Much appreciated BenCodie, received them in the wallet.
Not making any accusations here, just expressing some concern which is understandable for most if not all lenders

Have a great day!
