He is most likely not the original owner of his account. It is likely that the account was sold shortly prior to going into business with lauda. Are you saying you think his account was sold more recently?
I think his actions are consistent with someone who is desperate for money and is willing to bend the rules in order to get more money.
Are you sure the bounty aTriz bought this account to manage bounties? I had a short look in the posting history and there ist a gap between May 2014 and April 2017, so this could be the first change:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=135920;sa=showPosts;start=2840The second change (if there was one) could be a few weeks ago.
He started running bounty/signature campaigns in
August 2017, which is only 4 months after starting to use the account after it was purchased. He made, on average 3.75 pages of posts every month until he started running bounty campaigns, at which point he started making about 14 pages of posts per month.
I can only speculate, however it is possible he controls multiple accounts, and was posting from multiple accounts on bounty campaigns until he focused on aTriz once he started running bounty campaigns.
Many have claimed that aTriz and lauda are the same person, however this was frequently shot down under the guise that aTriz lives in Australia and that their posting times states do not match. His location is something he posted himself, and the posting times are inaccurate because of the fact he is not the original owner. Interestingly enough, the rules that
lauda was imposing on his campaigns in August 2017 were similar to the rules imposed by
aTriz, this is not proof of anything, and others may have also used similar rules, however it is one data point. If you look at the
list of threads aTriz has opened, there are a very large number of threads he is trying to remove evidence of, including many threads ALU was running bounty campaigns for. ALU was not formerly
announced until November 2017, and there is a clear attempt on the part of aTriz to remove evidence of the thread.
There are lots of things very suspicious. I don't know if the real aTriz would participate in a bounty getting only 3$ per week..
I don't know if he would do that either, although I see little point in trying to sell his account that would likely not fetch more than $20 or so based on that earnings potential.
His password changed on June 12, the day before he tried to auction off his signature for $500. I do see a lot of really low effort posts made after that, with many in the past two days.
I don't keep track of the account market, so I have no idea if an account was listed for sale that matches the description of his account. I find it strange a signature spammer would buy his account as I cannot see him describing his account in a way that can reasonably earn anything in a signature deal. I am not sure how much sMerit aTriz has left, but maybe someone bought the account for the sMerit, saw its notoriety and tried to sell his signature.
The
bounty campaign he is participating in is run by
stormfold, although I would not necessarily say he is necessarily involved in anything shady.
Do you have a proof?
But participating in a bounty campaign with rewards of 3$ per week are very unlikely for him as aTriz would know about better bounties.
I don't know if they are available to those with negative trust.
