Now it makes sense why he didnt stop sock puppets when he knew most accounts were fake and all he had to do was say stop but he didnt.
NXTL was the same, could of stopped them with a simple 10-20 post limit etc or a date when registered, when people do this you got to question it.
Then they weed out the sock puppets that aren't theirs. Kind of genius really. He could have 10% of coins easy.
Math proves your theory wrong. In NxT, all you had to do was send in 1 BTC (limit) to get 5% and there was no taint analysis to stop socks. BCnext could easily have had 5 sockpuppets. Maybe Call from Above is BCnext as it might explain why Call from Above can post all day without needing a job to pay the bills.
In contrast - NEM was publicly audited. If BCnext hypothetically had 25% of NxT, all he had to do was create five accounts or make them up. UtopianFuture on the other hand would have to create 800 sockpuppets to receive 25% of NEM. That's a lot of work at a time when was supposedly busy organizing everything and I'm pretty sure BTT would subnet ban you if you created that many socks in such a short period.
