Accounts connected: Lauda, Xanis

Lauda nuked the Xanis account in July 2015. It previously had almost 3000 posts.

^^ 19zYTT7QoCqURn5oZw8VMMSo4tbpERUB4i signs with 1LaudaexFYZano87acDNGscmqDbM3ZTLBD -- provably links Lauda to 1Mx8vNWQKrZpWjYQFa6uMbNeHskPCsyaQR (Xanis)

As I said, Lauda nuked the alt account. But the Xanis address was archived on bitcointa.lk (https://bitcointa.lk/threads/cloudbet-signature-campaign-up-to-0-1-btc-per-month-for-50-posts.314489/page-14#post-7131942). It was also archived by a Bitcointalk address scraper on Github (https://github.com/mikispag/bitiodine/blob/master/deploy/classifier/Lists/bitcointalk.csv). A cursory glance through the addresses archived by the scraper shows that they are quite accurate. Pick a few at random and see for yourself.

Miscellaneous notes:

Lauda/Xanis buying forum accounts:

But why would Lauda be buying forum accounts? The answer is obvious:

"Signature managers against spam?" Oh, the irony!

There is a non-zero chance that Lauda has used (and continues to use) his Default Trust status to facilitate these account trading and signature spamming practices.

The fact that Lauda has been outed as an account trader while simultaneously heading up the SMAS initiative and being a signature campaign manager himself raises questions about a conflict of interest. In any case, please see the feedback Lauda has left for other users. Specifically, Lauda has extensively tagged users with negative trust with the following feedback: "Account sales encourage scams, spam, and account farming." I agree, and by Lauda's own standards, Lauda is clearly untrustworthy for engaging in these practices.

I don't have the time or energy to look further into this now, but Xanis had thousands of posts in the Altcoin sections. I believe that both accounts were being used to scam giveaways. I've recently archived giveaway entry posts made by Lauda (those which haven't been deleted yet) for further research. Unfortunately, as Xanis was nuked, we only have quotes and archives like bitcointa.lk to work from. C'est la vie.

I suppose this one won't be added to the OP Roll Eyes
