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.
He is... "The Professor"...
This is a day that I've been very excited to tell you about. It's the day that "The Professor" accidently posted and deleted a comment from his main account when he should have used one of his alter-egos. This is the day that he came to my attention - we shall call this day - Day 4 - Genesis.
Source + Slightly more Photoshopping than Yesterday
There was an additional exciting discovery this morning - where I discovered that the photos from accounts 1-7 were being WhatsApped to "The Professor". So it would appear that "The Professor" has "An Assistant".
Still No Activity on accounts 1-4. No Activity on accounts 5-7 either. Exciting News for Accounts 1-4, Account 7 and most of today's New Accounts below though.
See if you can follow this (I've spaced things which hopefully will keep things clearer)...

There was a different approach used with today's accounts. A new pad of paper, different photograph filenames (all but 1 (Account 8) were consistent with a different camera) and the unusual activity of claiming and the posting Achievement 1 from Account 8 fairly early in the day.
We might have some genuine users here - I'm sure we'll find out quickly if this is the case.
Day 4 appeared to be totally chaotic which would explain "The Professor"'s mistake with his main account. The Greeters were busy upvoting today so "The Professor" and "An assistant" had to work fast. So mistakes were made. I suspect that "An Assistant" has had to 🔥 burn 🔥 his main account as a result of this. But it was a good day at the office - it pays to be professional about things.

Perhaps I should rename the community "Scammer Academy" and I can be the professor.
