LandBaron Merlin Getting His Just Rewards?

Landbaron MerlinRemember Landbaron Merlin? You know - that landbot owner who has been taking advantage of glitches and user error and making money while Linden Lab makes this gurgling sound:

[12:28] Jeska Linden shouts: Chaos Mohr: What is being done to address land database issues which result in things such as parcels being paid for and not transferring, parcels being sold to multiple people etc? This seems to be a major technical issue which keeps cropping up and hasn’t been fixed yet.
[12:28] Cory Linden shouts: These are likely symtpoms of the broader stresses on the central db and transactions..
[12:29] Cory Linden shouts: as I mentioned int he blog post, we are attacking these problems in two ways, to first identity weak spots in the current system and to build a better transaction system as well.

All that money being lost, and not even a warning to users on the SecondLife blog - but apparently someone found a way to get their money back. Remember Seargent Crossair losing 80,000 Linden Dollars (roughly $289 US)? Allegedly, he's been getting the nefarious Landbaron Merlin back where it counts - in the wallet.
