Appears all he did was equivalent to buying fake likes on facebook, in the initial weeks of NEM. Being caught doing it was worse than his actions. Every new coin does it, bumping it with socks so people will read it. Even Satoshi probably had ghost conversations with himself in 2009.
Trolls from other coins keep claiming he has 1000s of sockpuppets - lol. Fud fail. UF's socks were gone before taint analysis, except for ghost house. Claiming a second stake on top of a large devoper stake was legal if it was for someone else (but definitely greedy).
Why do you keep repeating these same lies? You have no evidence that Satoshi stooped low enough to create sock puppets for himself or had ghost conversations with himself.
Taint analysis means nothing if you are clever and know how to avoid getting caught.
UF never said that his second stake was for someone else. That is also something you just made up.
The fact that I am pointing out that you are presenting conjectures without any sort of tangible evidence to back them up does not make me guilty of committing a "logical fallacy."
It doesn't matter if you have a PhD in philosophy or epistemology, you shouldn't just make stuff up in an attempt to move price in a direction favorable to you.
It does not matter if this sort of underhanded behavior is the norm for tradeable markets. I thought the whole point of NEM was supposed to be to get away from the classical models of the financial systems which are about ready to undergo a giant collapse due to their inherently greedy and unsustainable nature.
