You state for a fact you are not QS. We find out for a fact you are. You would probably get negative trust from multiple people for dishonesty.
This is why I don't understand why you just don't state for a fact that you are or are not the same person. Why all the games?
Honestly confused here.
I guess it's because if he admits to owning the sockpuppet then he's admitting to escrowing his own deals which is scammy, and if he denies owning the sockpuppet and someone finds a way of proving he's lying then that's pretty scammy too.
Refusing to confirm or deny ownership of the sockpuppet probably feels safest. "Hey, I never said it wasn't me..."
