Steemit Contest Cheater Exposed (@cranium)

@hendrix22 made a list of steemit users that abuse contests on steemit by using multiple accounts. I'm adding to his list after seeing some clear signs of double accounts when filling in the entries of my weekly EPL Betting Contest.

These 5 accounts very much look to be from main account @cranium

@cranium
@prettysnake
@koment
@komentator
@dobroman

• All contest entries were made within the same hour
• All contest entries were extremely similar with 1 small variation
  (see contrest entry list and bets week 13)
• An exact similar pattern in last weeks contest
  (see contest entry ist and bets week 12) Stealing 16.7% of prize money
• None of the accounts participated in week 11
• In week 5 @cranium actually won the 13.1 SBD jackpot also using his @prettysnake account with similar patters (see picture)
• The posting style on all these accounts is very similar.
• @ cranium upvotes every single post on all accounts (See screenshot)

What bothers me the most is the time I'm wasting by having to do this police work just to keep things fair for everyone. This is the 2nd time I had to deal with suspicious cheaters who create multiple accounts to increase their chance of winning and it allmost makes me want to stop hosting this contest. I will probably just be adding some rules in order to avoid situations like this in the future.

I will also see what I can do in order to stop @cranium and all his accounts from abusing Steemit in the future.
