I really don't like adding to the fire when it's not necessary, but even though the article doesn't state it outright so much as he implies it, Deidara is absolutely the owner of the site the code went out to. It's almost an impossible coincidence that the name on the site WHOIS and the name associated with his Paypal account are one and the same. (Edit: did a deeper whois search and the email address on file also matches his PP)I don't want to be a Raiborg and be a douche about this, but I have some bad news to report about a gamesharing member. Unfortunately, it seems as if Deidara may be gaining review codes from developers, and selling them for a profit. While there's nothing in the rules of the site that say this is something that can't be done, it's a very big no-no. Devs send out review codes in an attempt to generate buzz for their game, not so some shady person can make a few bucks. This may no have anything to do with gamesharing, but we're talking about a member's character and ethics here, which are very important in a community that requires trust in its members.
If you're curious, you can read more here:

The article details how this came to be, as well as the evidence against Deidara.
Edit: In addition to the above, it would appear that Deidara is now deleting all posts that reference him selling these codes. There are several posts that were quoted by other members of this site, but trying to find that post turns up no results.
I wouldn't care so much if he'd just done it once or twice, but it looks as if he's been doing it for years, and on top of it trying to claim it's all bullshit.
