Conclusions

Obviously, this user is a cheater using dirty tricks to promote his farm. There are too many coincidences that already cause doubts. During my 2 years at the forum, this is one of the largest operating active farms.

It's a shame when you try to help people develop on this forum, but they hold you for idiots and, in gratitude for your help, spit in your face. Sad

While I was researching this farm, I noticed that the cheater mentions some accounts blocked from him, which means the farm can be much more than 60 accounts:

On January 26th, 2021, I registered two accounts on the Bitcoin forum at the same time.
The names are ZOOOOM and CARYOSCAR. When I first started, I was not active in the forum.

Also, the cheater sometimes likes to communicate with himself and mention his accounts. In the history of his posts, you can see the citation of responses from his own accounts. It's funny. Cheesy

Perhaps I'm still going in the right direction to the Kaggie and KingsDen accounts. I still have doubts about them, but most likely they are also the alts of this farm.

When I started this investigation on August 18, a few days later this farm was already mentioned:

And I liked there one answer from the same cheater who helps to expose himself: Cheesy

I think it is not rigorous to judge whether they are the same person's alternative account only by the time of registration.

For example, how can we prove that this person belongs to Satoshi Nakamoto?Only after Satoshi Nakamoto uses his own digital signature verification, we can be sure.

However, these accounts registered on the same day can be called "suspect crime suspect"
suspect crime suspect A
Date Registered:11/28/2020
suspect alt account:HaleyOccam,StanleyBoyle,KevinRosa

suspect crime suspect B
Date Registered:12/23/2020
suspect alt account:Alex Peters,Luke Jackson,Luke Briggs,Ryder Kudrow,Dax Robinson

suspect crime suspect C
Date Registered:1/31/2021
suspect alt account:JillianTaf,EvieLannister,Jazmin Leslie,Lily Garver

suspect crime suspect D
Date Registered:2/24/2021
suspect alt account:John Jefferson,Connor Britton,Mikayla Buckley

At the same time, before these suspect crime suspecs do evil, we should not be biased against them because of suspicion, because so far they seem to have not broken the rules of the forum.

I counted their participation in bounty and autographs

Except for accounts that clearly use the same Telegram name or address, other accounts do not seem to have "strong connections"

Although I call them "suspect crime suspects", we can follow their movements at any time.I think these accounts often post posts, and some of them do not seem to be spam.

They do this for only one purpose: to get enough merit and then participate in signature activities or bounty.

So we can check their accounts frequently in the future. Once they reveal flaws, we can report them or give them a negative trust value.

The alt account uses the same posting style to talk about itself from another account. Apparently he does not want to lose other accounts and is trying to divert suspicions from himself. In general, there are doubts that this cheater's head is not all right. He himself admitted today:

5. This state lasted for half a year, and my result was a mental breakdown, and I suffered from a severe self-consciousness phobia.

In general, it’s amazing how a person who thinks sensibly, who has a good baggage of knowledge about cryptocurrency and bitcoin, can simultaneously engage in such nonsense? Communicate with yourself, talk about yourself in the third person from another account, cheating, create accounts in batches. There are clearly some problems with perception. I cannot find any other explanation for these stupid actions. Undecided

But all the secret once becomes apparent. Greed always betrays a person. It would be much more difficult to define a farm with 3 users than with 60. The more traces you leave, the easier it is to correlate your data. Hopefully this topic does not become a big swamp of feces, where unreasonable insults from the viola of this farm will be poured. But I will not make a self-moderated topic.

For merit abuse, abuse of community's help, bounty cheating, abuse of newbie help's topics, where I distribute merit to those in need, I intend to put all proven accounts ~ and a red tag.

In general, I would like to hear the community what they think about this case of large-scale fraud of the forum and listen to the opinions, whether my evidence is objective and correct.

Also, who wants to add this farm to ignore and put ~:
