You are probably correct. I was also aware of this beforehand and possibly should have used it as a reason not to provide a stake.
The reason I still chose to stake him was the fact that he had 100+ posts, he runs a blog in the Romanian section of PS, he supposedly has a good looking graph, and he has a picture in his profile (probably a minor +). In other words, he didn't look like a guy who had come to the site purely to run a scam, and the amount of money we are talking here, it would be barely worth his time.
I think I will definitely refuse to stake anyone with "douche-like" posts in the future, even if they tick other boxes. Unfortunately I have a feeling this might rule out 90% of pokerstrategy, myself included.
