Something Fishy... your gonna want to read this... 30 Thousand Steem gone in Two Weeks!!!!

This account's received large amounts of SBD from Poloniex and converted it to Steem, which isn't shown on the website for some reason. I don't know why OP claims the account is "new" or "fake", according to the blockchain it was registered on August 3 and it does have some posts.

If we assume he bought everything he received from Poloniex and sold everything he sent to Poloniex, then he bought over $14,000 SBD, injecting about $14,000 worth of Bitcoins into the buy side of the Steem ecosystem. 30K STEEM is $12.5K at current prices (although some of his trades are older and he might have bought his SBD at a discount, so this doesn't necessarily mean he took losses). His sell-side activity may be larger than a lot of users but it's in the right ballpark. He may be using an arbitrage strategy of buying underpriced SBD, converting to STEEM and selling it -- you'd need some historical price data to get a good estimate of whether he made a profit.

Ok I see, it really seemed suspicious and with the constant drop in price I was getting worried. Thanks for the information.
