Confirmed at least one sock puppet being used in sort of astroturfing campaign against me and our blockchain abuse fighting group. It's sad that these people would employ such tricks but looks like they slipped up. Check my Steem post for the details! Blockchain doesn't forget. Anyways, another day, another drama. Can't say it's not interesting at least. Bring your own🍿 #share2steem #drama #steem #socialmedia #blockchain #astroturfing #sockpuppet #deception #misinformation #keepondigging

I'll be writing a more exhausitve post about his issue as I did down deep into this rabbit hole. My intent is to use my scripting expertise to try and find any additional slip ups in order to correlate additional sock puppet accounts.
But this is just a hint that at least one user is employing a deceptive social media tactic in an attempt to garner public support. Unfortunately, it appears to have worked on at least one user to my knowledge but hope they are beginning to see with more clarity.
Transactions of particular note:

Looks pretty sketch to me but what do you think?
I'm on the Case!
Credit to @slobberchops for helping to bring this to light.
These people try to be sneaky, but then they slip up. Is it really so hard to be authentic on Steem? You can even earn more that way.

Rich seems to be suggesting they have a bunch of shared accounts for purposes of not letting VP go idle. I do find it a bit covenient that all these buddies just so happen to be sharing posting keys now.
Either way you look at it, it bears the pattern of a collusive voting network irrespective of whether it is one operator or multiple operators.
When I have time, would like to look into it further and welcome everyone else to do the same.

Its kind of human nature for many to get on and grab what you can fast. After being here a while you learn there are other methods of gratification.

Some of them take a little 'gentle persuation' to change their ways :) Some of them obviously put some work into sneaky behaviour. They should be called out on it.

Now we will be accused of being the Steem police. I have given up arguing with those guys.
Im jealous now.. as I cant spend $150 on bid bots for my posts.. that was the last statement by 'them'.

That's the essence of decentralization, right? I can be anything I want, so I became "Steem Police".
Oh, or was I interpreting this whole freedom thing wrong the whole time?

Hopefully the "Steem Police" doesn't turn out like law enforcement did.
Flags aren't quite the same as bullets tearing through your flesh, so I'm not against it just yet.

I've learned to embrace it. Those doing deeds in darkness obviously do not desire them to be brought to light.
They will do whatever they can to malign us in the court if public opinion. Their aim is to discourage us but they will not succeed.
Let's stick together and not give them any ground. 🛡️
