This user didn't receive any sMerit in last 120 days and then on 21st February he posted a thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5112905 from his alt account (ChatBotv2) and replied to it just as to transfer merit from one account to another.

This thread was started by a newbie (his 2nd post) and wilburwilbur +11 merited that post.
On 21st February, a new Bonus campaign was started by Steve (manager of Stake.com's signature campaign) to promote quality posts.
Seeing this, wilburwilbur "decided" to use his alt account to gain the 2x bonus by transferring merit to his account in a Gambling section post.
As per https://bpip.org/profile.aspx?p=ChatBotv2 the account was active more than a year ago before this post. This certainly shows that it was a bad attempt to cheat the bonus campaign and merit abuse. I'd like the authorities to take suitable action against this.
Edit :- First post of ChatBotv2 was on [Free 0.0005] Stake.com - Simply play 5 games! just around 90 seconds after the account was created. This is sufficient proof that account is an alt farmed/created to cheat giveaways and bonuses.
Edit :- He must've intentionally written a long paragraphed post so as to look like a deserving one for merits. Give a look at his posts https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1190597;sa=showPosts

The interesting thing is, the same address was used by a hero member account 77kdub here.

Above linking confirms that the account wilburwilbur is an alt of 77kdub as they both use the same BTC address.
This takes us to the trust ratings of the 77kdub which says
Trust Rating by nullius
It looks like a similar merit abuse which was done by the same owner in the past here. And he has been doing this from much time now.
Accusation Link by nullius:
Humber*, CasinoExpert, et al.: Alts, account sales, merit abuse, etc.
As per I see an alt account of an red-trusted member should have a red trust rating to warn about the risk of trading.

Absolutely no asking for merits. Just because your post has merits doesn't mean it qualifies for this bonus, the post quality must also be approved by us.
