I asked about these in another thread and found the explanations... uhhhh... lacking. BTW there are no password changes for the "friends" accounts.

Yes, quite likely. I haven't really had the time to look into it but for example Samson_bbl spent all 5 of their sMerits on this post:


SpockSenior spent all 6 of their sMerits on this post (reply to btcltcdigger, such coincidence):


And MrSlave spent all 5 of their sMerits on this post:


Then Desmozgenes (red-trusted by guess who ) spent all their sMerits on one user (multiple posts though).

Edit: Desmozgenes -> Ajutokintumi -> Gwiazdooka -> PuryLock -> Desmozgenes

Typically I wouldn't draw any conclusions based on how someone decides to use their sMerits but this pattern is highly suspicious.

Not sure what that would prove. That you have friends? There is no feasible way to prove that you're NOT in control of those accounts.

There is no password change on ANY of the three accounts. How can you explain that?

Hahaha, true. But sometimes that needs prooving as well



Unfortunately, password or email changed has known to tag accounts as "account buyers" in the past.

I myself personally only changed my password once in the 4 years my account exists, and this was last year after it got hacked. Had to write to theymos with a signed bitcoin message to get it back.
And even after that, i was briefly marked as a "possibly hacked account" because of that
