As the current owner of the Searing Plasma KE in question (the only one too, pretty sure), this is unfortunate.
I did what anyone is supposed to do before buying a hat. Checked his steamrep, checked to see if it was duped or not. Stuff like that. I saw no flags in the trade, so I made 2 bids (first was outbid so I bid again to win).
I had never delt with Sluggy before, much less know of how he acquired the hat. He wasn't tagged in any form on SteamRep, and he was a "blue" donor on outpost (where I saw the hat advertised) so I used my best judgement based on that information that everything should be alright.
Anyways. I don't support sharking. I have never sharked anyone, and it's just as vile as stealing in my book. I don't have a dirty conscience of this, as I feel I am at no fault. But, I just want to state my involvement and set the record straight.
(I don't unusual trade much anyways, I've owned only about five overall and I usually just trade for what I like to wear. I'm not in this to make an assload of profit.)
