What is the truth?

and so on.
How this happened?
I looked at a select number of threads in
Alternate cryptocurrencies > Announcements (Altcoins) (board 159), and there is a clear pattern among the following UIDs:
1021758 (this is hacker, but the pattern is less strong)
1082347
980712
1234403
1171587
1527744
With regards to the select threads I reviewed, these accounts tend to post in the same threads, when posting small numbers of posts, they tend to post in groups of 3-5. When they post larger numbers of posts in a thread, they all tend to post in the thread, and they all have a higher number of posts in the thread. In other words, when one of them makes low double digits number of posts, they tend to make low-mid double digits numbers of posts in a thread, and when one of them makes high double digits of posts in a thread, they tend to make high double digits to low triple digits number of posts in a thread.
Some caveats -- these UIDs were not found in a larger data set, they were selected because they were mentioned in your post; the hacker account mostly makes less posts in each thread than the field; I didn't look at the content of the posts, and therefore am not accounting for things such as drama/controversy that may explain the pattern; no statistical tests were done on this data to see if this is different than a random group of accounts, part of the reason for this there is a lot of manipulation in this board and I am presently unsure how to account for the manipulation.
I have posted examples of this pattern below:

I want to be clear that I do not wish to pass any kind of judgment on hacker.
