It's almost certainly someone pretending to be a sock-puppet of Garr's for a laugh.
Yes, it is.
Which victim complained giving you the right to comment on whether the account was someone else's sock-puppet? How much did that victim lose? Did you contact this sock-puppet and offer him the chance to pay back whatever he took before you looked at his IP address?
Just to cut off any speculation - that account was NOT mine. I've never used any account here other than this one - and I freely give permission for any checks admin want to do to check the truth of that statement.
I just want to make sure that sock-pupper was given the same benefit of the doubt as the Werner one was before Theymos checked its IP address and/or did whatever other checks he felt he needed to do to make the quoted statement.

In response to theymos' "Yes it is" post, am I the only one reading it him stating that it was just for laughs, oppose to confirming that it's one of Garr's SP?
Don't think anyone read it as him confirming it as being a Garr SP.
My reading is that he was confirming it was someone
pretending to be a GARR SP for a laugh. I read it that way as my post - which he was replying to - specifically said that (the "pretending to be" bit). Garr can't use one of his own SPs to
pretend to be a Garr SP - as it actually would be one. So Theymos was clearly confirming it wasn't a Garr SP - hence my follow up of why he'd comment on (and do he checks necessary to make informed comment on) someone else's SP but not Garr's one.
If he's actually saying it was Garr doing it for a laugh then that WOULD be truly hilarious - but for entirely the wrong reasons.
