I spoke with some friends a BTCTalk who are mods, and I finally figured out why IconicExpert used an indian IP.


The following names are also IconicExpert smurf accounts, if you go through the post history you can see they constantly vigorously defend IE, while using the exact same writing style over and over and over (big font, bolds and red text that only he uses.)

ziploc
coinpredator

Both ziploc and coinpredator are smurfed accounts, the reason he was sitting behind an indian IP was because if you whois that IP it's a proxy service, to let him switch accounts and remain anonymous, but he forgot to switch his IP a few times, and so a mode was able to really easily call him out.
Also those two accounts only ever post when IE is posting.


Thought this is just too delicious and juicy not to share.
