May-14-2017 was a hard day for aleksand. He sent ETH for his alts (>7 hours spent).
https://etherscan.io/txs?a=0x8f278896f08cd28ec5d3f3b278a406e030bd620b&p=3

As can be seen from the quote above, he took part in the EncryptoTel bounty. I took their spreadsheet and looked at who owned the addresses to which he sent ETH for token operations. I checked all transactions starting from the oldest.

It should be noted that the bounty manager excluded most of the alts from the campaign. Judging by the spreadsheet due to the fact that they did not write messages. But some accounts went through the campaign and received tokens.

Several addresses remained undefined, but by the tokens in it it was visible in which bounties they can be found. So: Matchpool - Bounty spreadsheet

This was the most successful campaign for the farm - all accounts successfully received tokens.
Two addresses remained undefined. I found them through the forum:

Wowanstrong was already tagged by Lauda for cheating.
Since Aleksand wasn't tagged by a DT member I did.

No time to tag the Sr/Full today, but if nobody does I might eventually.

[kzv]

I have tagged all of them

Etc. Many campaigns in which this group of accounts participated.
loakbtc bpip is banned, so this post is a reference for moderators.

These 4 accounts also need to be tagged please. They are still enjoying no tagging.  

KTChampions is doing a wonderful job.

[Deathwing]

I love how one of the accounts is called achow102... Superb job discovering them.

[SM23031997]

Can't believe that mass account farming is even possible. How can one person handle a huge number of accounts?
This is 2nd time I see mass farming busted in a short period. I recently saw one thread in meta section. Someone was asking for the permanent ban on all the accounts.
57 accounts are way too high, nice catch KTChampions

[Balthazar]

How can one person handle a huge number of accounts?

You must have a special talent for that.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dissociative_identity_disorder

I think that is the case. Many of farmers I've seen truly believe that they're not the one person.

[mole0815]

Awesome performance
i have decided some time ago to take action against bounty abuse etc. as good as i can. since i am DT1 this also has more sense and will be used in the future for the right things.

i started with this and rated all users including you. that alone was a big effort. but compared to the time and energy you spend on it negligible.
i say thank you and continue like this

I have read (can't remember who said, maybe LoyceV) that back in 2017, bounty was a easy money making method and people used to earn passive amount from simply social media bounty. I wouldn’t surprise if he claims to be a millionaire now lol.

Sure. I checked his wallets and I remember that at some point he had several million dollars. Look at the movement of money on his wallet - there are many transactions of $ 100,000

This is undoubtedly one of the most successful (in terms of making money) cheaters on the forum.

Yeah, you stopped farming after Theymos created the merit system because there was no way you'd be able to rank up a bunch of accounts anymore.  Obviously you're still active, since you've replied in this thread, so that leads me to believe that you're probably participating in bounties and most likely enrolling alts in the same one(s).  I've found that once bounty hunters get a taste of the money they can make, they don't stop doing it unless they're forced to.

Sure. I checked his wallets and I remember that at some point he had several million dollars. Look at the movement of money on his wallet - there are many transactions of $ 100,000

Jesus.  What the hell am I doing wrong?  Well, if you wonder why everyone is quitting their job and staying at home, this is one of those reasons.

How come you stopped? Were you maybe satisfied with the amount you got from all these accounts, or you just got bored?

I am asking because from what I can see, you stopped more than 2 years before you were eventually caught and accounts tagged.. I mean, majority of bounty abusers don't give up so easily and they usually come back for more so this is a rare thing.

[Igebotz]

Can't believe that mass account farming is even possible. How can one person handle a huge number of accounts?

These types of farms are the reason most campaigns paused a week or two after they launched because they weren't getting any support, and these guys are the reason some projects got dumped after presales. Owned by one person, operated by many, these people are hired and paid maybe monthly/weekly or probably after the end of each campaign.

The d. I recently saw one thread in meta section. Someone was asking for the permanent ban on all the accounts.

Scammers and bounty cheaters are not moderated, and only two offenses (plagiarism and ban evasion) result in persons being banned. The forum's most appealing feature is that everyone is accountable for their activities.

-snip- Well, if you wonder why everyone is quitting their job and staying at home, this is one of those reasons.

Hahaha, I'm wondering if that guy has time to pee with the number of accounts he has?
He has 57 accounts, if he posts 5 per day then he must post 285 in a day. He really should eat fries and popcorn to relax for a while.

You forgot about his family members, friends, relatives ... Hell, if he was truly earning the sums mentioned, he could have easily hired an entire army of pawns to help him out. Sadly, there are parts of the world where even a few dollars a day can be an acceptable wage.

I don't think that's so. All a user has to do is wear a logo and anyone who visits the forum or posts here will see it and if interested, will click on the signature logo and be directed to the project's web site. My thinking is that all that user's farmed accounts wore the signature logo and the purpose – (advertisement) it was intended would've been achieved.

That's absolutely correct! Account farmers are always the first to dump even when price is abysmally low because they've several of the bounty tokens to make a huge gain.

Owned by one person, operated by many, these people are hired and paid maybe monthly/weekly or probably after the end of each campaign.

That's the only logical explanation that can sustain that huge number of farmed accounts. The owner runs it as a call centre just like we've them in India.

Ah, just noticed this thread. This is another farming looks like the Poler9 who was caught previously. When I see these type of thread some thoughts come to my mind that maybe there are only 10-15% people are real here. And other 85-90% are alts each other lol.

How can you handle a huge number of accounts?

Simple, ask your friend to share the payment 50/50. He will create post or do bounty and get the 50% of payment. lol . Maybe this is the only way of controlling this huge farming. Otherwise it impossible to active all the account by one human.
