That address belongs to a wallet from coins.ph - Philippine crypto exchange. So he sends coins every week to exchange for cash.
I understand that concept, but does coins.ph only give out one address for many individual members to use? If that is indeed the case, then there's no merit to OP's suspicion.
I do not think so. According to WalletExplorer, there are over 2.7 million addresses with at least one transaction on that wallet:
Wallet [00000dd86b] addressesI think we can safely assume that every user of the coins.ph exchange has their own unique deposit address. And, from what I understand, coins.ph is a very popular exchange there because it allows users to link their bank accounts so that all crypto deposits are automatically converted to local currency without any additional fees. Perhaps someone from the Filipino community can confirm this?
Even if it isn't true, sending coins to someone's address every week doesn't necessarily mean they're alt accounts. There could be any number of reasons someone would do that, and to hand out negative/neutral trust based on that evidence alone would be unfair IMO.
True, that does not necessarily mean they are alt accounts (although occam's razor says the simplest explanation is most likely true). But sending your weekly paycheck to someone else's account does not make much sense, either, unless it is a very close friend or family member or you know them very well and trust them with your money.
He don't have obligation to explain anything to you and anyone has his own right to remain silent.
He does not have to do anything. But, since the suspect account is connected to a group of greedy
scammers and bounty cheaters who, by the way, have already been banned from the forum, I think
it would be wise for him to come forward and explain the situation.
