Geez... Let's let the guy have some privacy. Whatever happened to presuming innocence?

If OP is in the wrong, no advice we give is going to get them out of it, but if they're in the right, we might be able to help them. Trying to find fault in OP seems pointless.

Mate he's welcome to not respond. No privacy has been violated unless OP decides to respond.

Presuming innocence is for the court and legal systems. I am neither.

I am not forcing him to answer and I will of course respect the decision if he doesn't want to.

I'm saying it's an inappropriate question. Their privacy wouldn't be violated even if they did respond, but it's just an uncourteous thing to ask.

I disagree. Let's leave it there I guess.

Appreciate the sentiment. I held off on saying the transactions for this exact reason. People are already speculating on the cause without the transactions. I was more interested in things to do next instead of wild speculation on the reasons for it happening (which will not help me).

private individuals can presume whatever they want to presume.

it is only the state that has to presume your innocence.

I'm not saying private individuals have an obligation to presume innocence. I'm saying it's the courteous thing to do. It makes sense to apply the same principle. Better to assume a guilty man innocent, than an innocent man guilty. It's not like there's any risk in any of us doing that in this case.

that's how you get exploited by sociopaths in your personal life.
