Q:
Что значит Did a runner by all accounts.?
A:
It's true that speech can be much less grammatical than written English.But this seems to be reported speech and I think the punctuation in the second sentence could be different.
I might write:
"Turns out the owner stopped paying his bills, did a runner by all accounts."
Now the sentence is still missing "it" at the beginning ("It turns out~") but the second part is a bit clearer.
The owner is the subject followed by two verb phrases.
In reported speech we often put an ellipsis to mark a pause but it doesn't have to mean the end of a sentence.
That said, neither is right or wrong. This is just how I see it.
By the way, "do a runner" is quite a common verb phrase. We would use it if somebody left a restaurant without paying or left somewhere early to avoid a difficult situation.
