A week or two ago I noticed the account
illyiller had woken up as I was browsing the seclog looking for something unrelated. That user name struck a bell, so I pulled up their account and decided maybe they were trying to get back into sig campaigning.
Out of curiosity, I looked into what campaigns they worked for. The blockchain suggests this person had made quite a bit of money sig campaigning in the past, way too much for the campaign I could associate them with.
Taking a closer inspection of a
master address, to which feeder addresses sent BTC from several other addresses associated with sig campaigners, I managed to identify a ring of 9 alt accounts, all belonging to the same owner and all enrolled in sig campaigns at one time or another.
The kicker is that 3 of them have been in the same campaign together for over 3 years.
All of the addresses in this
wallet are what I refer to as feeder addresses. There is 1 feeder address per sig campaigner, and it acts as a buffer between the sig campaigner address and the master address.
Here is the transaction between the feeder address wallet and the master address:

Linked to each account name is the proof that account used that address:

It would appear all these account belong to the same person, seeing as how the addresses listed here have only ever been involved in signature campaign activity. For easy reference here are links to the accounts themselves (bolded are still active):
figmentofmyassillyillerillinestsquattermarky89exstasieMAbtcromani245manchester93Since the chances of all of these accounts pooling months worth of sig campaign funds together for any purpose whatsoever seems extraordinarily slim, it is safe to say that these are indeed alt accounts and one of the more clever and prosperous account farms to ever exist on the forum.
I'm of course open to other interpretations and am interested to hear what they might be before leaving a neutral on all of the accounts.
Let's try to keep it civil, thanks.
