Noticed this user shitposting on one of sylon's campaigns (no surprises there) and something just seemed odd (unusual to see a Legendary posting like a Filipino Newbie).

Looking into it there's a huge gap in his posts. The account stops posting on September 12, 2013 then reappears on February 18, 2017 and you can see the stark change in the quality of his posts. Last post where he even 'signs off':

Hi guys,

On 2013-07-31 we announced the imminent shutdown of the ABCPool getwork servers because the costs have become unbearable in the face of dwindling interest. For those who did not have automatic payout enabled, we allowed for an extra month to withdraw any leftover earnings. Today, almost two weeks after this deadline, we have shut down the remaining parts of ABCPool, leaving only the public part of the website for historical purposes.

Our database and payment engine have been brought offline too, so we can no longer accept any new requests for withdrawals. We will however manually handle the three requests currently still in progress.

Thanks for the ride everybody,
MC & Chlorine, signing off.



Then reappears trying to get a custom addy:

hello sir LoyceV. how much is the cost for this cutom addy?

Prefix: 1MintC

Thanks

The original user seems to be the operator of ABCPool: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=33586.0

And the new one is just your average Filipino shitposter who's managed to get himself a trusted Legendary account by the looks of it.
