How long do you anticipate we'll have to wait until we see?  I assume you've reported one or more of Ratimov's posts as being plagiarized, and even if you didn't my guess is that the mods have seen this thread--and yet no action has been taken, and it's been 8 months since it was started.

As I said in a recent post, nobody here is a friend of mine, so if someone deserves a ban then they should get it (including Ratimov).  That doesn't take away from his excellent analysis of the alt account ring he researched and exposed, though.
