Would it matter to most if he really needed the money or it was his only source of income? Doubt it.
I doubt it would matter as well... He cheated not only the campaing but the other participants of the forum.
He was aware of the risks. And it was worth it.
Even now that those accounts are worthless, he made much more money with multiple accounts than he would make using only 1 account.
He was able to receive 2x the highest payment campaing in the forum for months... Long term receiving multiple payments from many campaings.
To say it was his only source of income and he needed the money, so he can cheat and the rest of the forum must be understanding is dangerous. There are people in Brazil who tries to justify robbery with the same argument.
What about the people who are legit trying to get one spot, and also need the money and it is their only source of income? I think ethics should always come first.
It is not a crime what he did. But it damaged other users, damaged CM and the campaign manager.
And it is a hell lot of money. He received probably around 2-5 BTC... We are talking about hundred thousand dollars
