I don't know wether that account you're claimed has any connection between "Xandry" or not, but when I looking the Merits received (only checked the history of last 120 days) for that member it seems like there may be some connection. Because there are 101 instances that "esmanthra" got Merited by other members while 52 instances by Xandry. When we compare the probability of "esmanthra" being merited by Xandry is 51.5% and the funny thing about is more than half (actually 30 out of 52) of Merited posts are being deleted /ignored/off- limits. That's not good stats for being a Merit source.
At the end of the day I think it's better to get a hearing from Xandry regarding these claims.
A similar claim was treated on a topic opened a couple of months ago as can be seen here:
[staff] xandry: may I ask an explanation? Response received!.
It turns out Xandry gave out merit to users that helped him clean the Russian forum by reporting, and often the posts that acted as reports were deleted after being merited for their report. That leads to multiple merits currently awarded to deleted posts. I think that after the referenced thread, Xandry dropped this line of merit awarding. There are two users that have been merited more merit by Xandry than esmanthra (Alex Sr. and inbizin), but that fact alone proves nothing really. There are staff and merit sources that have awarded more sMerit to a single user than Xandry, and I havent seen anyone questioning them.
I would say that if there was anything really off with Xandrys merit awarding habits, theymos would have acted accordingly after the above referenced thread. Weve seen no action, so I figure hes in the clear unless someone draws something really really solid.
