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"...
After a frantic Day 4, the earlier recap and Scammers Academy was useful for me to take stock of where we are. A lot's happened in 4 days, surely day 5 will be calmer.
If you missed our recap of proceedings so far, please take a look and if you have time, take part in our Scammers Academy Homework Task 1.

A relatively quiet today. "The Professor" and his "Assistant" tired from yesterday's proceedings.

Some interesting filenames considering that Account 12 posted Achievement 2 before Account 10 did - It appears that both posts were prepared before logging in and posting them. Possibly in an attempt to avoid yesterday's mistakes.
Mistakes happen though... Account 14's Achievement 2 contains screenshots that are clearly from another user (as they still have the other user's account name displayed). Is it a coincidence that this other user is an "associate"/"alter-ego" of "The Professor"? (Who hasn't had their Achievement 2 validated yet.) - And rather amusingly, is stood in exactly the same place as Accounts 1 and 2 with a WhatsApp filename of IMG-20211112-WA0025.jpg.
Is "The Professor" getting sloppy? All roads seem to keep leading back to him.
