Ok, I only read the first page of this so far, but what OP has is a suspicion that alia is scamming because her items keep getting "sold" once she's asked for a picture. aTriz is being linked to this because of this odd 3 year contract for signature advertising. Is that it in a nutshell?
I do find this contract strange, since it wasn't too long ago thar aTriz was looking for very high ranked, trusted members for an exclusive campaign of his--and then he does a deal with this relative unknown. But aTriz has always been honest and very polite and kind in his dealings with me. True, you never know what lies beneath, but I still trust him. I've been in his campaigns before, and he's been entrusted with large amounts of bitcoin--and he always paid on-time and accurately.
Plus I don't see a full scam on alia's part, though her behavior is somewhat suspicious. I'll keep reading this thread, but my positive trust for aTriz will stand.
I'll save you some time then. Theymos revealed that IP evidence linked her to an account that was previously red-tagged for trying to take out loans and double people's money through gambling:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3032057.msg31217052#msg31217052Pretty much exactly what alia has been trying to do, except for some reason people were okay with it until now.
I'm guessing that people think that just because someone is verified, they are legit. And with how alia has been online on the forums for such a long time every single day, people feel inclined to think that she/he is somehow legit and able to break a provably fair system.
I don't buy any of that. Otherwise she could do this over and over with her own money, instead of taking investor funds.
I
think the reasons why atriz is linked to this is pretty much the advertisement deal that you mentioned, as well as the review he gave for the gambling service.
