Re: Abuse of Merit by a Full member

I got a PM from Hellkas asking why he was tagged for merit purchase (I tagged him).

He received 4 merit for this post:

I am surprised how quickly everyone changes their minds. Just yesterday, many were in the mood for short positions, but now everyone is saying that the bull cycle has begun.
Did you think that this could be a fake exit from the accumulation zone, and after it there will again be a fall?
A similar situation was a year ago, when the price dropped from 6,000 to 4,200, then there was a local increase, and then the price was dump to 3600.
The situations are very similar.

It's not the worst post in the world, but it is his first (and only) post in the WO thread. 99% of his prior posts are bounty reports or authentications, so I thought it was a bit weird. I looked into it and it turns out that the account sending him 9 of his 10 merits had been buying merits from a supposedly hacked account:

My account have been hijacked more than a week ago.
Some Merits seems to have been sold. Since today account is under my control again.
My apologizes.

Whether or not Hellkas is Pastrana or simply bought the merits from Pastrana is irrelevant -- the fact is they are still merits that come from Basorexia. Both Basorexia and Pastrana have a pattern of sending out just enough merits to accounts in order for them to rank up, which is also suspicious.

When looking through his ETH address history I noticed one transfer from Hellkas to user xXCactaurXCoreXx.

They've been applying for the same bounties:

Interestingly, xXCactaurXCoreXx seems to be ban evading.

I reported him for ban evasion. I don't think this is enough evidence to definitively link Hellkas to xXCactaurXCoreXx, however, as they only have that 1 ETH transaction between them (just wanted to use this post as reference for a feedback).

Somewhat oddly, I received another PM from another user that I tagged for buying merit within a few hours of the PM from Hellkas, even though I left my tags on April 4th (20 days ago) and hadn't heard from either user since.

My suspicion is that there are stronger links between the accounts mentioned in this thread and the ones mentioned in another thread by Rikafip. Feel free to investigate further.



You have trouble with your head, he is not me. I have a blog where I publish bounties in which I participate and the person with the nickname Hellkas is just my member and if so, then you will apologize to him and leave this forum


The fact that there is 1 transaction is yes, because we try to help each other



And why did you single out only this person? There are at least 3 more people whom I translated ETH and they are participating there.
