According to him he has two other accounts on the forum, making three in total. Assuming he is cautious about privacy, the trust lists of the other two are not going to be exactly the same, but presumably some of the members he trusts have a boost in the DT system because he includes them in his trust list three times while he is one person.
First, sockpuppets used for DT1-voting will be blacklisted from voting once discovered.

I don't know to what extent we should consider this as acceptable. It's not completely unacceptable in my opinion but seems to me morally questionable.

Another thing is if we can not know which are the other two accounts and therefore, even if we consider that including in three trust lists the same person being you one is morally questionable.
We can't know for sure indeed. So I checked his Trust inclusions: 8 out of 10 users have more than enough inclusions to not need another "small 10 Merit vote". One user has only 4 more votes than the required 10. That's still 3 other user's votes away from making a difference to the outcome. And there's one user with only one vote, which means there's no sockpuppeting for sure.

I don't know what you think about it.
I'm pretty sure there are more alt accounts that didn't confirm they're alt accounts. AnotherAlt is open about it, and I don't see much harm done here.
