Old owner sells his login to new owner and updates his email address. How can you tell if neither new or old owners notify you and hide the transaction?

Dynasty Owners Selling Their Teams To The Highest Bidder (1 Viewer)

I would have a real problem with this. The commish/league should decide who replaces an owner, not the previous owner. I don't really care about buying a team, but the new ownership needs to be chosen by the league.
Maybe an owner can "present" a potential buyer and the commish/league would have to approve them. But if the league had someone else in mind, then it should go with that person and the old owner makes no profit. Too bad for the old owner.
In my opinion, the team isn't the old owner's to do with whatever they wish. If the league doesn't like the new owner...they simply don't play with them. They can give the "team" (just a hypothetical list of players, really) to anyone. The team is simply an appendage of the league, and the league is there for everyone to enjoy.
Of course, I'm not really talking about a business arrangement where 12 strangers play fantasy football to win money. I'm talking about a league where the people know each other and are friends. In those cases, the most important thing in a league is ownership. Good owners-- whether sharks or just pedestrian players-- can make a league interesting and fun. Great owners can make memories and laughs that last a lifetime.
But bad owners can make you wonder why you bother playing. It's the most important aspect of a league and I wouldn't leave it to one exiting owner to decide who becomes part of the league. They're leaving the league, so they won't care as much as the remaining 11.

I can tell if it's the same guy or not by many reasons that I won't go into here. If it's not, then I find a new owner.
What are you talking about? He said he missed setting a lineup three times over 20 leagues. Please re-read before you make yourself look even more clueless.
I too play to make a little extra money. While the rewards do not necessarily make up for the time commitment, it sure is a lot more fun than "real" work and it buys a nice vacation every year (which my wife appreciates). So I don't see anything wrong with making a profit selling a team. In any case, you have to be real good to be able to do it (and from experience, I know that JPeso is that good).I am seriously thinking about entering the FFPC's $750 dynasty league where they flat out say that you CAN sell your team for a profit (subject to commish approval of the new owner). Not the reason I would enter, but it's a nice feature for sure.

Except for the missed lineups and fines....
And I paid the price for that. $25 in only a $75 buy-in league (HyperActive I). I missed two other lineups all year (3 total), one of which was very early in the season (Unsportsmanlike Conduct) and one at an RTS sponsored league early on as well. It wasn't the entire lineup, but just one player left in by accident. I tend to set my lineups early in the week and then re-assess on Sunday AM, but missed one player in each instance (3 total in 20 leagues x 16 weeks, 3/320 = 1%).
Your figures are interesting.
Looks like you made the championship game in all 20.
You must be really good.
