This is based on a true story, following the life of a prominent user who's been busily scamming the Newcomers' Community and Crypto Academy for a while now. Over the coming days I will share his story. Today, we have days 1 and 2.
We shall name him "The Professor"...

There will be some quiet days along the way and the possibility that one or more of these accounts belongs to a genuine user. The Professor's doing very well for himself though - he may decide that the Newcomers' Community isn't worth his time any more and focus on scmming the Crypto Academy which still has the bumper payouts.
I'm gripped and want to see how all of these accounts develop. The mistakes that are made on the long and arduous journey to club5050 and steemcurator fame.

If I could share some photos without giving the game away, I would.
For example -
2 users, stood in exactly the same position, in the same place, with the same lighting, the same camera, the same photographer's reflection, holding the same pad of paper.
Different usernames, different dates (1 day apart).
You've just given me an idea π
