Information on other recipients of merits from tema is available in their trusts.
These farms have a merit connection with each other. Let's look at the graph (I deleted tema for clarity):



Now I will add BravO_o bpip (also banned) and the picture will be more obvious:



If we continue to watch the transfusion of merit through other banned users, it becomes obvious that everyone is connected.
It seems to me that the available information is already enough.
Given the fact that tema sent merit only to abusers, he is either a botofarmer or a merit seller.

[The Sceptical Chymist]

Good evidence, OP.  I tend to believe there was something shady going on with all that merit being sent.  Fortunately tema hasn't sent or received any merits in at least 120 days, so he's probably out and won't be getting any more.  Plus most of those accounts that are connected have been banned. 

Funny how these things tend to work themselves out, eh?  I don't know if tema is an alt account of one of the banned accounts, but maybe someone with some good alt-sniffing skills could check into that and see if he's worth a permaban as well.  Seems like he'd deserve it.

tema

This is a diagram showing all merits that tema sent:

Most of the accounts are banned by now. Here's a full list (unfortunately the Russian text doesn't work as BBCode):~

The funny thing is that I traced the path of merit in the 2nd, 3rd, etc. layers. You will be very surprised if you look at the number of banned accounts there. I think that tema sold Merit to different farms, and then they were banned because farmers do not have time for posting, they just plagiarize.

The Pharmacist

Thank you!
I checked him, but could not find direct evidence. I think that at the moment tagging for him will be enough.

[The Sceptical Chymist]

I think that at the moment tagging for him will be enough.

Yeah, but merit abusers don't really get tagged anymore and haven't for a long time now.  I gave up doing that after I started a thread about the practice and got some opinions from the community.  Plus Theymos doesn't really approve of giving negative trust to merit abusers, either.  If this guy was linked to an account that was abusing bounties, I'd have no problem tagging him but there's no evidence of that here.

That's just me, though.  That doesn't mean another DT member couldn't tag the guy, and I'm sure there wouldn't exactly be a riot about it on the forum.  Maybe a complaint by tema to the tagger, but that's probably it.

[KTChampions]

If this guy was linked to an account that was abusing bounties, I'd have no problem tagging him but there's no evidence of that here.

Maybe I'm subjective, but sending merit to 6 accounts that are one person is a sufficient connection. Not for the ban, but for the tag.

[LFC_Bitcoin]

What’s the point in risking your Legendary account just to farm a load of Jr Members? Don’t those low ranked accounts earn a pure pittance any way?

I’d understand if each farmed account was earning 0.01BTC per week or something but it’s literally dust isn’t?

He would have been better trying to get his main account into one good paying sig campaign.

[LoyceV]

This is what theymos said (context: he was talking to a Merit source):

If a DT member tags you for something stupid involving merit (ie. probably anything less than selling merit), then they're not going to be a DT member for much longer.

As far as I know, merit cost > 10 dollars per unit, so tema earned some money.
And in those days, the BPIP did not exist yet, so he assumed that the history of this trade would disappear in 120 days.

tema was never a meritsource (with the exception of private relations with farms  ), and it seems to me that this case clearly corresponds to merit trade.

I will separate the banned and active accounts.
Also another Alt account, cheating on the campaign or not.

Let's see how many other Alt and cheating accounts in the campaign.

The main account is based on the topic @KTChampions.

I think this is enough here, on the grounds the account concerned has already got a red ban and trust.

So basically it doesn't really matter..

I kindof doubt this TBH..
Plenty of DT members do much more stupid things than that and aren't removed because muh "Good outweighs the bad" nonsense..
DT members are more invincible now than ever, no matter what they do, as long as they have the right friends..

[suchmoon]

Maybe I'm subjective, but sending merit to 6 accounts that are one person is a sufficient connection. Not for the ban, but for the tag.

You can't be serious. There is a high probability that I have sent merits to a farm or two, and most top merit senders probably have too.

Sending or receiving merits is not a proof of anything. You have to show some other link in order to allege merit trade or anything of the sort.

You are right, but here is a completely different context - all merits of this user were sent to the abusers.

Sending or receiving merits is not a proof of anything. You have to show some other link in order to allege merit trade or anything of the sort.

You are right again, I do not have documents confirming the sale of merit (invoices, contracts with signatures   ), but the behavior of this user is quite obvious and in any case is suspicious. And I see that many users in this thread agree with this.

This is what theymos said (context: he was talking to a Merit source):

I agree with theymos here, sending merits to alts in not always that untrustworthy to make a person risky for trade anyways. Rather that is not an solid evidence of trading merits even ( Ex.A chatlog about the trade could be a solid one ).

[ChuckBuck]

Hello, I need help to investigate Deathwing merit
It was just a coincidence when I saw this image
https://i.imgur.com/bTOd6bZ.png

he's applying for a signature campaign, but it's absurd when someone gives him a merit. So I checked his merit, and what I see below:

https://i.imgur.com/WxYZ3kH.png


You can easily see, he received a series of merit from one person, Blacknavy

Some people are repeated a few times: Vispilio, dannybrown

I am not sure if this is a merit trade, I also do not have the ability and authority to investigate further, so I came here and asked everyone to clarify the above problem.
Hope this forum will be cleaner! Thank you!

[Balthazar]

Well, to be honest, that's not surprise at all. You should be grateful for the fact that merit sellers are combining greed and stupidity in such a notable mix. Otherwise they would be much harder to detect.

I'm glad you also agree with me. I'm not sure this is a trade, but obviously it is shady, maybe I would consider becoming a supporter to look for scams like this. For now, I wait for the results of your investigation

Sorry if I disturbed your topic, I crossed out. This may not be a sale, but clearly, this is clearly a fraudulent merit. Most merit comes from the same person, and we still accept it? 

[eddie13]

this is clearly a fraudulent merit

How so?
It looks like Blacknavy is a source and he sends multiple merit TXs to a single account in a row often.. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;u=1018510

What's wrong with that?
